From The Outside Looking In
 

Well Ebony Traffic this one is going to be a little different from my normal journal entry because this isn?t really an entry or anything that tells about my progression in the industry but a simple observation. Now I in no way want to come off looking like I am a know it all or a smart ass or anything like that because I?m on the outside looking in and just telling folks exactly what I see about the industry, mainly dealing with the ebony niche. Hopefully everyone who reads this article that I?m writing will enjoy it.


From the outside looking in I see nothing but potential for the ebony niche. The ebony niche is currently ranked 8th on The Statistician so it really shouldn?t be considered a small niche because it is so concentrated. What I mean by concentrated is this, hardcore, anal, soft-core, gay ebony and everything else under the sun goes under the category (including interracial for some reason). Most TGP?s don?t offer categories ?ebony hardcore? for example, unless of course they are ebony related TGP?s. None of the ebony related TGP?s are currently pushing traffic like thehun, world sex and on and on. The fact that thehun is pushing 1 million visitors a day (according to sex tracker), while the largest ebony related TGP is only pushing 30 thousand visitors a day can be looked at as good and bad, just depending on how you look at it.


I will start with the bad first. No one fully exploited the ebony niche. That?s it. That is the only bad thing that I can say (besides people having to go to other places to submit their ebony galleries and sites). That one bad thing is great for the major players in the industry (or someone with enough motivation to corner an untapped resource) because basically it is an untapped resource that hasn?t been over exposed like the majority of the other niches out there. Of course it would be a lot of hard work and probably use up whoever?s biggest asset (time) but to have an entire niche locked down, that?s priceless (well not really but it would be one hell of an income). The ability to make the rules up and set the standards for the ebony niche would be in whomever?s hands and they could basically do what they wanted to with it as long as it kept returning a profit.


Now let me give you all an example of what I am trying to say, keep in mind that the only thing that I can show of an example is submission based (considering that?s what I?m learning now). When I say corner the ebony niche I mean this, lets say Mr./Mrs. X was able to get 500k a day to a ebony related TGP, nothing but. This would basically run the ebony niche because you have your target audience of 500k visitors a day coming to see nothing but ebony related categories, he or she could clean up on selling spots alone. Of course if they?re pushing that type of traffic they could have their pay sites being developed and not to mention have other pay sites wanting to advertise on the site, further putting their foot deeper and deeper into the ebony niche. No need to really submit to other sites, seeing as how other ebony related sites would probably be trying to trade with you which is another added bonus because you don?t have to go searching for more traffic, it comes goes them. Remember this is just an example of a foothold in the industry (something that I have been thinking about for awhile and can?t figure out why it hasn?t happened yet).


Apparently what I?m thinking of in my head is a hell of a lot easier said than done because no one has done it yet. I?m pretty sure that the major players in the industry are moving towards basically raping an unsuspecting victim, which is good as long as it?s not some big company with gob?s of money. This would be the worst case scenario because if a big company gets a hold of this industry it?s over. Think you?ve seen enough of that ugly bitch India now? Let one of these major sponsors actually start giving a shit about the ebony niche and she will be the fucking poster child for black porn, and she sure as hell shouldn?t be a poster child for shit (if you can?t tell I really don?t think she?s attractive, especially when she tries to rap during porn?bitch just do your job and put the dick in your mouth).


Well this has been my thirty minute break, I?ve got to get back to patch working my damn submission system and think about upgrading my hosting (I ate my bandwidth up with only three submissions, I see why hosts charge those overages fee?s). I?ve got a lot of work to do myself just so I can consider myself a webmaster (I won?t consider myself a webmaster until I am pushing at LEAST 10 sales a day) and I want to go to Internext next year and I hear they only allow webmasters. Any how this is just a newbie?s point of view on one way to corner and untapped resource, I hope no one thinks that I?m a smart ass or that I rub anybody the wrong way. Just my thoughts and observations folks, nothing more and nothing less.
