I was wondering what are good ways to advertise adult sites? I'm new to the niche and hopefully I do good. I doubt social marketing will do any good.. Forgot to mention.. I'm on a low budget.
Just do simple marketing, e-mail and post on related forums. Imageboards are probably the best place to advertise, places like 4chan and 420chan usually have porn boards which allow you a great place to let them know of a new site to check out.
Great i have to check out that adult social networking site. But yeah google doesn’t allow adsense on adult sites they will get there account closed eventually.
Depending on which adult niche you're in, I would suggest finding keywords with low competition that you can start with. You can also write articles, social bookmarking does work, social networking works well with the adult niche too.
4chan wont attack you if your site is legit. Also try watermarking porn videos and uploading them to other sites. -minanu
Watermark some short video clips and pictures, then upload them to various free sites - pornhost and xhamster are the first ones that come to mind. Join a newsgroup and upload your videos an pictures there. Install limewire and allow people to download from your computer.
Shady image board like 4chan is actually good, since if your content is good enough it'll got repost again and again forever - just remember to watermark it with non-distracting watermark. If your site is a paid site, you may want to make sure that your site's security is good enough before posting in boards like those.
