Some nudity on my site can't find a CPM network, is the Internet a Cristian Network?

    Hi I'm new here. I hope this is the best section for my topic.

    I'm an admin for a celebrity site containing about 80% celebrity images and 20% nudity. Porn is against the TOS, but we accept some nudity, as long as it does not go beyond Playboy-style nudity. We have 70% European traffic, 20% US and 10% GB. About 9k visitors a day, but this is likely to increase. Problem is that ad-networks, including Google AdSense seem to believe the Internet is an US-Christian network. There seem to be only 2 options:

    1: adult sites
    2: non-adult sites

    For Europeans this is odd, since almost all Internet sites are created for adults, as long as they're not specifically designed for children. To my opinion we need a more extensive classification like:

    1: children's sites
    2: adult sites
    3: adult sites, containg some nudity
    4: porn sites

    So I made my statement and now to the point ;) :

    Porn is something many sites won't like to be associated with. In Europe people are less scared of nudity as in the US. As I said porn is against our terms (TOS), yet we can only find ad-providers delivering hard-core porn ads! Can someone advise us a CPM network or affiliate network which will accept us and won’t close our account on the moment we request a payment?

    Thanks for any response!

    Hi aiguo,

    My name is Blair, CEO of Growthr.com. Without seeing your site it is difficult to say if it would be approved or not on our network. Generally we allow sites that do not feature explicit content.

    It is best to consider that many companies do not want their brand associated with nudity, while I understand mild nudity here or there would not be considered pornography by the majority of people, when it comes to brand association this kind of thing can harm a household brand. Since the majority of paying advertisers are promoting household brands they do not want nudity alongside their ads.

    As a rule of thumb try to put the images into business context, for example, what would your boss think if you emailed him/her the image at work?

    Some brands benefit from being marketed alongside nudity and that's why there are seperate niche advertising networks for this category.

    Advertisers don't like nudity and they don't want to see their ads near nude celebrities.
    They pay money - they choose sites.

    If your site really hasn't any porno then try to work with Fidelity Media and AdBrite at the same time.
    I hope they will be able to approve your account.

    what is your site url? as far as TOS no % of nudity should be allowed as you have GB traffic also so its better to maintain data which has no X-factor data in your sites so that you can have good traffic to your site.
