I've got sites and content now what?
 

Hello everyone,
So it took me forever but I finally have a bunch of exclusive fetish content. I have 8 sites up and a couple of hundred updates in the can. I'm new to the web business but not the adult business as I run a distribution company that's been around for nearly 20 years [First VHS now DVD].

I have partnered with some producers and built up my content supplies, I have femdom, BDSM, BDSM Sex, Enemas, Fucking Machines, Tickling, BJs, Strapons.... and now I am wondering.... WHAT DO I DO? I just got visa/mastercard, I am awaiting my affiliate program to be assigned by the bank/provider.

My website is twistedmegapass dot com

Take a look at it please, any opinions, advice w/e is appreciated. I have started making FHGs and submitted a few tonight to some fetish TGPs. However I really am at a loss as to how to monetize my efforts ;)

No Suggestions? Just looking for a bit of guidance from the professionals!
I have started a few blogs on blogspot for my enemas, strapons etc and I am targeting a few keywords as I have read as much on this site.... Tried a couple of TGP submissions though it appears nobody has put up any galleries.

Should have my affiliate program by commercegate up Monday! :D Until I get that any ideas? Any GOOD tgp sites that deal with fetishes like mine? Any good place to buy hard links?

Thanks in advance for any help!

erm...going to have to compete with lots of other affiliate programs, why not try buying skimmed traffic to your paysites directly and see if they can convert - not something i would normally recommend doing but since your brand new with exclusive content it might be worth a try

i also have hardlinks for sale in the 'normal hardcore' and 'ass fetish' niche, not sure if that suits your paysites or not

Welcome, here are some Newbie webmaster tips to get you started
http://www.pmmarketing.org/webmasterschool/

I saw in Chrome that the first page is aligned to the left and when i enter, is aligned to the center.
When clicking on the join link, the join page looks like its aligned to the left with a margin.

In IE8 the first page is still aligned to the left ( why not center? ) and all subsequent pages are aligned to the center.

Looks like another case of cross browser scripting. Cant MickeySoft just comply to W3C?!

To be honest, when viewing the page, i didnt feel it. I know its hard to visually design a page, its not my strong suit either.

I think i would start by to tone down the Text_Back.jpg opacity. Imho its contrast with the black is too hard. I think i would either chose a softer 'black' or to put in a little background image in the black portions, to break the blackness.

Not sure if that looks better, im more of a trial by error designer, so i would have to see it.

Another thing i noticed, is the member login. I never like popups that way. Is there a way you can make a login option working inside the website?

The tour page has a html-feel to it. The links, the borders around the pictures, the top headers from diffrent girls, it doesnt stand out.

Personally, i dont like these types of layouts even when fluffed up. Take a look at some jquery, mootools gallery options.
I came accros an opensource flipbook thingy: http://codecanyon.net/item/flipbook-...preview/152110

Perhaps this is something you could use, or something diffrent? It makes you standout between all other fetisch paysites.

On a side note, have you considered making you're own affiliate sites and blog sites feeding those affiliate sites?
I think that would give your paysite a pr boost.

Hope i have giving you some food for thought.

Is it just me or is your site loading slowly?

You're new, I'm new, let's trade traffic.

Incidentally, I'm using trade pulse to skim some of my traffic to my advertisers. I don't think there's been any converts yet. Been doing this for a few weeks now. See my sig.

Had all forgotten about a firefox add-on called YSlow. My development site scores 77 but your site scores 93 on the landing page and between 85-90 on the menu pages!!

YSlow did give some tips for you to look at 'Add expires Headers' and 'configure entity tags ( ETags )'.

Both are apache stuff. Perhaps you know how it works. My site has the same problems ( and quite a few others :) ) but i just let a friend look at it. He's the server guy so to speak ;)

I agree the more I look at it the less I feel it!! I am going to play around with the look and feel. been laid up for a couple of days sick so I havent gotten to work on it :(
I had been letting a CMS generate a lot of the markup [I would NEVER write such dreadful markup myself O_o] so I think that's making the page load slowly tables etc. Time for me to dig in and rewrite portions of the CMS output I suppose!!

Yes I am making my own affiliate sites, 8 blogs and like you I am writing my own TGP software ;) Of course my site won't be so fancy!! I'm nearly done. Amazing what 2 days sick and lying in bed can do :/

I'm not running apache btw ;) I'm running IIS, asp.net and MSSQL server. I really do prefer the mickysoft tech side although I will grant you in the past they were TERRIBLE at standards compliance. I find that compiled asp.net code though is insanely fast compared to php+apache.... probably due to the fact that php is interpreted. Though if I didnt already rent a dedicated server for other means I probably would consider php + mysql for the free price :D

Thanks for the thorough critique of the site :) I'll have to make changes the next few days and get another opinion (:

You can submit your FHGs to thehun(dot)com. It won't necessarily convert real well, but it will drive a ton of traffic to your site and other sites will pick up your link and send you additional traffic...

I also looked at your site... The site I run uses a very similar "tour" approach... I'm pretty pleased with the money/conversion... If that's at all helpful for you...

I have some good affilliates sending me traffic, but still spend a few hours a week looking for FHG sites to post to to get my "own" traffic...

I'd be glad to talk directly with you if you want... I'm new as well (my sites been up now for 7 months) but I'm learning more every day... If you want, hit me up... Webmaster (at) lexeigh (dot) com
