|goodidea Thanks for your input SG!
I bought my home with views on acres with avs recurring income!!!
Unfortunately, as fate would have it, I have to sell it for lack of ongoing funds, oh well, such is life
I used to follow your thinking with the qualified traffic etc. Over the years though I found it increasingly common for avs's to change rules/de-list sites, and millions more webmasters appearing on the links list and hence I saw a huge downturn in traffic and income.
Do you think its worth the time converting my free sites to avs, and will the ones you mention accept sponsor content? (I think cyberage dont). I have about 400 premium sites that arent on any domain any more, they were adult check ones from years gone past, and also about 4000 avs regulars. Dont know if its worth it with the old content submitting them or not |badidea| probably not.
I was thinking of doing some celeb avs sites and upselling to sex key site where I would have the premium one, I see others still doing this. Dont know though, always a risk with celebs, but if its just tabloid pics or whatever I spose it would be safer???
"creativity is being choked out of this biz, everybody knows what a free site should look like, everybody knows what a paysite should look like, and the results are predictable."
Yeh, well damn, free sites are pretty much exactly the same as they were in 99, cept for a couple more strict rules, not complaining though as they are nice and easy to make, and are just a pathway through to the paysite. I havent seen any originality really with porn since the reality craze which is still strong.
thanks again

What I like about AVS's is that you get recurring income on the premium sites and when you advertise on the inside pages you know that every surfer has a credit card, and has used it for porn. You can't get better quality traffic than that and I can use iframes to sell vidcams without any linklist owner refusing me for it (as long as it's inside).
Actually I make more from cams than I do most AVS's, but I don't do free sites anymore because I can't advertise them properly there.
There is still good money to be made on premium sites with an original look-feel to them. Since I've started accepting free sites on my LL I find they all look pretty much the same, but for that matter so do most paysites.
In a lot of ways I think creativity is being choked out of this biz, everybody knows what a free site should look like, everybody knows what a paysite should look like, and the results are predictable.
At least with an AVS I know I need a certain amount of content, more than with a free site, but I'm not chained to any sponsor, I can design the way I like, and as long as the surfer gets good value everyone's happy  |
