What do people most commonly look for on the boards. Or people in our industry, what do they look for.

Not Rss feeds, niches, or anything sponsor related.

Stuff like hosting, a programmer, business ops (looking for investor or partner), need someone to make a banner or logo, traffic!!!, employees...

Help me think of all the things that people commonly are looking for.

Thank You

I'm new so I look for help, period.

Innovative ideas; nothing that'll give away someone's cash cow, but new ideas.

And I'm not talking about a thread saying "I'm going to revolutionize the industry" thread when it's just another carbon-copy website or slaughtering of a web standard, like how RSS was raped and pilfered.

One of the good ones I can think of was that Rick Latona one a while ago, where it tried to aggregate sponsor programs under an umbrella ( or I could be mixing things up in regard to that ). Personally, I've always thought a huge bin of content from any sponsor an affiliate could use to market - this pic from sponsor A, this pic from sponsor G, and a centralized tracking system knowing a signup came from a click on sponsor G's pic on the affiliate's site. Blah blah blah....

"ideas" -- that's what I'd be interested and excited about. Not the same circle-jerk shit this whole industry is about. The online adult industry used to innovate. I can't remember an innovation from this industry in years. Thus the thought that "ideas" might be a good thing.

Cool post. I believe Rick's idea was dollars.com.

you are right no innovation these days. What was the last really cool thing that was invented????

Good places to buy traffic. I'm sure any webmaster, aff program or anyone pretty much would love it.

I think an updated "how to" resource is desperately needed, as the majority of them out there (Cozy Academy, Netpond, etc) are woefully outdated. Maybe a resource that gives a step by step how to build and submit galleries, blogging, TGP's (although they are about obsolete), etc.

I can't think of the "last" good idea, other than the affiliate marketing system, which I think adult's done a good job with. *shrug*

In regard to looking to a "board" for stuff, if I was really into it, I'd think more along the line of a user-driven community of stuff (even though I don't dig on myspace and facebook type sites). Something that can naturally grow and evolve as the community contributes to it. Maybe there'd be a "community" of programmers and people looking for them / ripping on each other, whatever. And there'd be another "community" of sponsor reps spamming their shit while paid and unassociated affiliates post in there. Most likely, the aforementioned would implode on itself.... I have no idea. *shrug*

Apologies, man... my "ideas" aren't with me tonight.

Yeap good resources are needed badly.

I will be adding a Blog Section to www.viraldiscussion.com (the link is there now we almost finished the programming )where I would like to get at least 1 person who knows what they are doing to keep a blog going for each of the big topics, (SEO, Traffic, TGPs, Design, etc..), post once a week, and give general tips and advice. I think that is the best resource you could have. Better then some site trying to piece meal info from various sources.

I'm thinking along the lines like a place where someone can go post that they need design work done, and designers check it often, and vice versa designers can post their rates and let people know they are available for work. Posting for stuff like that on a board like GFY doesn't work, it is off the front page in a couple hours, hard to find stuff, and people bashing you in your post, etc..

techtony · 08-04-2007, 11:12 PM

I get that, I have to title a thread with drama before anybody reads it, the actual business section of gfy hardly gets looked at.

Will - whatever you do, make post count of little consequence and have a community driven rating system for posts tied to users so bullshit posts (and their posters) are rated. Even a "+1 / -1" rating on posts, tied to a user account that others could easily click; like the digg system. Encourage thoughtful contribution. Obviously, gaining traction's the most difficult thing, but if you're going to try for quality over quantity (if that's what your shooting for), make the most of it.

On a side note, there were people talking about "web 2.0" and now there's people talking about "web 3.0", meaning location and community. For me, I want to punch anyone in the face who says "oh, you need to have a web [x].[xx] solution". For instance, "RSS": Tons of programs slowly jumped on that bandwagon, and I'm willing to guess the seasoned affiliates were working their own systems before the phrase was even mentioned by any sponsor. For me, and again this goes to the online adult industry not innovating, reading posts about coined phrases and half-assed attempts are no fun and of little use.

Again, I'm not sure what you're looking for. If it happened to be a subset of GFY community, it'd be those with early join dates and low post counts, for starters.

I need to spam harder on here

I actually have a "digg" type site SEE SIG

www.viraldiscussion.com

I agree with everything you said, a good community, helpfull site.

With this post I was trying to find out what the most common things people look for. I was thinking of building something along the lines of craigslist for adult related stuff, simple listing structure, free to post to it, people can flag it if it is off topic or abusive, etc.. Forums suck for trying to find stuff. If you looking for domain names you go to one of the big domain sites, if you want programming or design you can go to a rent a coder site, other then that I can't think of other sites where you can go to find something. Wouldn't be cool if there was a place where you could go to find everything ?

selena · 08-05-2007, 12:10 AM

Content is something that people look for here.

Profits of Doom · 08-05-2007, 12:13 AM

Fuck, I forgot to mention, if you have any type of community board, don't forget to add an iTrader type rating, where people can give feedback on people they have done business with. This might help cut down on fraud...

With the Profits of Doom quote above mine, yea -- a place to find everything without the bullshit would be stellar.

-- and apologies on not noticing sigs; have them turned off and if I have one, doubt those site are even working.

I forgot about the "sig off" option, sorry. It was just strange you were metioning a site like digg and i had " Viral Discussion.com the "digg" for adult etc... " in my sig

I am going to put something together and see what happens.

Nicky · 08-05-2007, 09:20 AM

content, new ideas, new traffic sources, biz gossip, link trading, "how to" tutorials, sponsor promos, domain selling/buying etc
