GFY Webmasters: What percentage of your online business is now in mainstream?

What's the Porn/Mainstream breakdown these days?

80/20?

50/50?

Anyone completely leave adult for mainstream?

It just seems adult is hurting too much... But mainstream rocks when you find a niche. Only thing that sucks is some of the better ones i have found are seasonal. Pain in the arse.

I'm probably 25% porn and 75% mainstream. I've done mainstream for quite a while, porn's just something fun to work on as well.

depends on the data I'm working with. I'd say I mix in 20-30% mainstream w/ my adult data. Adult/dating are still converting strong for me but I always promote multiple niches to certain demographics.

Nice!

Mix us in with some of your mainstream dating...

A lot of my affiliates have been jumping more and more into the mainstream boat. Luckily we've got sites that they can keep promoting but I imagine these same guys were promoting paysites as well...

100% adult - 0% mainstream.

If and when adult goes we will retire.

Can I be the sub in your last shoot please?

I'd say about 70% adult / 30% mainstream these days, spending more and more time on the latter. It's the only sensible thing to do. Marketsmart shows some smarts about this market.

Around 50/50 divide I suppose.

I love adult, and enjoy shooting porn for my footie brotherin. I still invest in new content for my own pay sites and clip stores for my network. However, I contract most of that work out most of the day to day business. Updating, link building, and so forth. I spend most of my time in mainstream trying out new things.

I will always enjoy the production side of adult. However, it is nice to relieve the pressure of the daily roller coaster and just do it more for the pleasure and fun.

moving more into mainstream.

I would say 75% adult 25% mainstream at the moment. That will hopefully be 50/50% soon. Doesn't mean i'm scaling back adult, but expanding my mainstream sites.
