Hi,
I've been running an adult social network in Sweden for erh, I guess like 16 years now, and I'm starting to think about how to monetize the traffic.
The site focuses on sex and sexuality, not produced porn, and contains alot of user generated content in form of photos, videos, sex stories etc.
Today I run a freemium membership model as the only income. I have a lot of non-paying users though along with some anonymous traffic on the public content I provide.
I have refused to contaminate the site with ads, but now I'm thinking that it wouldn't be too bad showing selected ads in strategic places.
I'm thinking step 1 would be to show ads in the public content, but I'm also looking into showing ads in strategic places for non-paying users for example as video prerolls.
Now, I'm a total newbie at this and there's a jungle of ad networks out there. I would like an ad network who can provide local or at least localized ads. I don't want to show hardcore porn stuff, I would prefer mainstream stuff but most of them don't allow adult sites.
Help me out, where do I start, which ad networks could suit me, should I approach this from some other angle... any help, tips and suggestions are more than welcome
