ok people I am setting up a adult website - www.webhotty.com I already have purchased the domain name...and I have started construction on the site, I am to make this site massive and I want over 10 million hits in the first few months...Yes its a massive aim but I need something to aim to... I need some ideas for marketing of this site, eg what track should I take? should I just aim for link exchanges to start with ? When I get around 100 thousand hits who would you reccomend that I get advertising on the site? adult friend finder? Any one else own a adult website and want to give me some help please do. thanks
Think you will be better off setting some smaller targets first. The adult industry is quite competitive as you might know. Just my thoughts, Good luck
What kind of site are you planning on making, a free site, or paid content? I don't think this will be as simple as you're believing it to be.
Why not have ambitious goals? If you set a small target and exceed it, you can lose focus on promotion efforts. If you set a large target, even if it's almost unobtainable, then you'll have that determination and motivation to push yourself. Just my humble opinion
It depends, it'll hit you hard if you're basing revenue/ROI on targets that are far too high. It's fine if nothing is actually riding on you attaining those goals though, go fo it
That's a huge goal. I suggest something smaller and more scaleable. What content model will you be pursuing? TGP/MGP? Free Site link list? Blog?

Oh, for sure. I was going under the assumption that Connections wouldn't be betting on his adult site to provide a living - but you're right in that any committed business plan should be based on realistic targets - even on the pessimistic side if possible. Thanks for mentioning that!
True. The only way to lose is to give up. People who succeeded in the adult game often start with older promotions models like TGP/MGP and free sites until they 'evolve' to higher ROI methods.
Good link, genkied. @connections, try browsing through gfy.com people often drop some traffic secrets from time to time. Recent gems include p2p traffic boosting via enhanced hash dbase tactics, myspace discussions, youtube pimping, etc etc. My company, webmasterlabor.com , doesn't do adult traffic generation/content management but we study adult webmasters' methods so we can apply it to mainstream campaigns.
Adult websites Can be very profitable to own and to run. The downside is that they can also be very problematic. If you intend on getting that many hits, and if you intend on making money with your site, then you need to keep the proverbial doors of your business, the ability to take money from your visitors, up and running! By virtue of this type of business alone, being that it is considered by some to be morally questionable (remember, I said some...), it is considered, in the merchant areana, a "High Risk" business. Being that it is a "High Risk" business, you need to be VERY SMART about setting up your ability to take credit and debit cards from your visitors. These types of businesses get their visa and mastercard accounts closed on an all too regular basis. If your money taking ability is sut down, or suspended, then you ARE out of business! So, you need to be very careful on HOW you set these up... Make sure that you are using "low balance" software... Make sure that you are accessing "offshore accounts" in order to help keep your accounts from being closed on you... Make sure that you get yourself some "processing protection!" You can have a billion hits a day my friend, but if you can't get paid, then you are wasting your time. If you have any questions, you can always email me at bmiconsultants@comcast.net. Good luck with your venture!!
wow this is a very ambitious goal Connections !!! Best of Luck.. and do let us know when you achieve it
