What I've Leared About Blogs And Adult

[KCat]

Great thread! I think the most valuable thing here isn't the focus on how much money you can make (like most blogging threads seem to be), but about how much you can learn about your niche from paying attention to your stats.

It wouldn't have occurred to me that MILF and housewife are different niches, but thinking about it more, it makes sense that they would target totally different markets. Young guys who want to see an older woman are going to respond much differently to your ad copy than the husband who's turned on by cuckolding. Interesting stuff!

In some cases they can be combined but you have to really think it through. Most of the MILF sponsors I use (NaughtyAmerica, BangBros, etc) use mature pornstars in the female roles. We think of the MILF niche as older woman and younger man. So there will be surfers coming to the site for certain pornstars (or just mature pornstars in general) and they don't care if a young guy is fucking them. Others just want to see the old / young thing happening. That is a case where two niches work. Add housewives (i.e. cuckold husbands) or mature single woman sites (30+ women who run their own sites) and then it gets messed up.

I think the other thing you need to remember is the sponsor niche. Ask yourself what angle the sponsor is taking and then design your blog around similar sponsors.

I watch a lot of home reno shows and the number one issue with the house flippers is thinking, "what do I want for this house"? Screw that! What you want comes last. Think of what the surfer wants (or the house buyer in the case of the house flippers) and which sponsors will fit that bill. I know that may sound obvious but I know I get trapped all the time. I look at a popular mature pornstar high on my stats and I think, "she's a dog"! It has nothing to do with me because all my job is to connect surfers to sponsors, (enjoy my work and make some money). Understand the type of traffic you have and give 'em what they want.
