Normally, it is a page with a link to your members area, that you give to LLs to review your content, since you put .htaccess on your members area that doesn't allow access to your members area except from your domain, and the avs.

Also do you place the advertising of other AVS sites or sponsors like on a free site?

I'm curious on sheepguys answer on this. Mine have a lot of galleries, my biggest premium avs site just went over 50 galleries, and I update it weekly. I use site depth script for all my avs sites, and load up content usually a few months in advance so I only have to work on updates once in awhile. The rest of my sites update 2x a month.

Most AVSs have rules in advertising, for instance, banners have to be placed below galleries, and have to say the link leads offsite. You have to read for each AVS what they allow.

Hi RedCherry,
I used to upload a years worth of up updates when I first built Adultcheck Gold sites, but only because they used to have a rule about that, and send me nasty e-mails when I didn't update on time. I found a neat little script that would do it for me automatically on the first of every month, but I've lost it now. You could set it for whatever time period you liked, saved a lot of work.
Now I don't update, nobody asks me to, nobody complains if I don't, and I don't advertise that I do. With AVS sites there is new stuff every day, so the surfers are happy, I'm happy, and nobody bitches.

That is one of the things that has kept me from building a lot of premium avs sites is the hassle of updates. They really don't complain? I've always tried to update them regularily, and the site I update the most has the most members.

Lately what I've done is more sites where join this site, get access to these other 4 type of thing, and that way I focus my main updating on those sites, so I don't have to update every single one.

Thanks, I will have to re-think that, maybe put some nv elites out that don't update, just give them access to sites that do. I tend to keep mine all in the same broad niche, so all the content appeals to the rest of the members.

What about using sponsor content on normal AVS sites with the sole purpose of promoting that sponsor? I've seen one or two programs which state that they are uncomfortable with that and I can understand their point, since they can't see what you are doing with it once it's behind the members area script/htaccess. The fact that you may be making AVS sales for yourself while not necessarily converting AVS members over to the content's sponsor sites is another reason.

Any experience with this or would you suggest avoiding the use of sponsor content on AVS sites?

I've never tried it, but maybe I will. I haven't seen any AVS rules against it, and I think it would be to the sponsor's advantage to have as many ads as possible inside protected areas of AVS sites. Sure, they can't have a look inside, but in any sponsor relationship there has to be an element of trust.
Content is cheap though, so using your own is probably the best way to go.

I just decided to give proadult a try again, and wow they allow you to promote a sponsor now, and use their content. MegaPartner.com I've never heard of them, but I signed up for them. That makes ProAdult now more appealing. I also like the fact that other webmasters can promote your proadult sites too, something netverifier doesn't offer that I wish it did.
