Even I would debate that one with you.

The main difference (IMHO) is that there are alot more websites/pages going after alot fewer keywords. I mean, in mainstream you can promote everything from acne cream to zippers but there are only so many keywords associated with porn that have a corresponding paysite to promote with those keywords. There are alot of odd fetishes like boot wearing redheads and bearded midgets but you'll be lucky to find a sponsor site for 1/10th of the less mainstream niches and fetishes. So what you end up with are 60,000,000 pages all optimized for the keyword porn or lesbian or whatnot.

I think the biggest mistake I made going in was that I didnt consider that I would need to get public submissions from somewhere to fill up my link list. I had my mind on other aspects and completely overlooked that part. About 1/2 way through building my site I realized that I had no clue where to begin getting them. I spent a while looking around and ended up signing up with linkalotapuss's submit page trade... thing. Which he didnt list my site by the way, and an auto-submitter program called russian submitter.

Neither of them have sent me any submissions. I get a trinkle of tgp and free site submissions right now but... nothing near what I need. I dont want to start looking for link trades until I get a decent amount of submitted content, but I probably wont get very much submitted content unless I have some link trades...

Speaking as a person who was born, raised and still living in a small town I can say that its much worse not to stand up for yourself if you think someones giving you the business. If you dont it makes you look bad and feel bad. I dont care if the person is 10 foot tall wearing an iron suit, if I think they are giving me crap Ill punch em in the nose. There are 2 problems with this

1.) Sometimes the guy you punch in the nose really did mean good luck.
2.) Sometimes the guy you punch in the nose is the only one leaving the bar at 2:00am in the middle of december who has jumper cables.
