Question from a newbie - GoFuckYourself.com

Hi everyone,

I'm somewhat new to the adult industry and have a few questions for whomever can spare a word of advice. I have 6+ years of experience in SEO for mainstream websites, however, I understand that things are different in the porn industry.
I would like to ask those of you who came with previous experience from the mainstream, what are the differences in promoting my websites (between mainstream and the porn industry).
From my experience in the mainstream, the most profitable source of traffic has been organic traffic from Google and I would like to know if it's a good idea to pursue the same alley...
Could you share some general conversion percentages from the search engines versus your number 1 or number 2 traffic source?

Thanks in advance for your help!

Sam

SE traffic is the best converter,
Macro niches convert about 1:3000, Micro niches can go to up 1:200 (but hard to find them and traffic is small-to-non-existant)

probably main difference mainstream v.s. adult that you can't really use lots of social signals. You'd have to be a brave guy to LIKE hornygrannies.com on your FB page.. :D
