Free directories and adult links

Hi,
I am thinking about the free directories and adult links (porn, gambling...) issue. Other than personal choices and from a marketing point of view, is it good to accept them or not? For example I know that Paypall can ban you if you use your account for gambling related projects (I've done some forum searches here on DP).

Do you accept adult links in your free directory or not, and why?

Thanks

 

You could always use a specialist payment processor for the adult and gambling submissions.

 

Yes, good idea. But other than that, generally speaking is it a good idea or a bad one? To accept those links?

Or is this just about specifically targeted user groups (ie family friendly) or adult friendly?

 

Well many people will tell you no, and that they wouldn't submit to your directory if you list those types of sites, but it is after all your directory.

You would probably get good business from the gambling and adult sites.

All you have to remember is not to advertise your directory as family safe if you know it isn't.

And think of it this way, people want porn and they like to gamble, if you can get business from their submissions then why not.

All you have to do is weigh it up, do you accomodate the adult and lose a few mainstream, or stick to family friendly and put off the adult sites.

 

Thanks Pipes, your advice sounds reasonable.

 

accept adult or gambling sites for paid listings only is reasonable for most free directories...
