Who does non-adult sites as well

[Stever]

My problem with mainstream is getting traffic. People are less willing to do link exchanges and the competitiion for good kewords is monstrous. I hang out a bit on a mainstream webmaster board but i find people are much less willing to share ideas, advice or traffic. They subscribe to the competition model of business so sharing would thus help a competitor. I like the level of cooperation in adult. Seems we underdstand the benefits of this on the internet. There is so much traffic out there that it is better to share it. If i cant make the sale i'll pass the surfer to you so you can try, and vice versa.

I've only been building sites for 5 months now so i still have a lot to learn. Getting traffic in adult is almost too easy (not that i have made a big commitment to it yet)

pm's being sent to those that responded so far.

I completely agree - the adult industry is so much more helpful.
Some of what I have learnt in adult I have applied to mainstream - and as adult webmasters seem to be a bit more up on the share factor I have got some good advice from a few of those who do both mainstream and adult.

Good points!

Since we run both mainstream and adult programs, I had to miss Cybernet to attend an 'expo' in Vegas for mainstream... I sooooo would've rather been at Cybernet for the exact reason you mentioned. At the mainstream expo, people seemed to network with more of a "What Can You Do For ME?" or "What Can I Sell to YOU" attitude as opposed to the attitude I find at adult shows which seems to be "How can we make money TOGETHER".

Mainstream marketing seems to be very lonely and disjointed. imho, anyway. lol
