Established Amature Webcam Site, seeking advice and help from affiliates - GoFuckYourself.com

webseth · 06-30-2010, 08:05 AM

A short introduction here, my name is Seth -- i operate and am the subject of the longest still running webcam site of it's kind. Online since 1996 all together, and since 1999 under its current "brand" (changed it when i turned 18 to allow for explicit content). During that time i've been profiled and interviewed in a number of magazines, newspapers, and even internationally on french television.

Previously, the site has been a simple hobby of mine and really a back burner project while I went to school and worked my day jobs. During the early years the site would get 30k+ visits per day (10k+ unique) a day with no marketing at all. Currently traffic is closer to 3000 visits a day (1500 unique).

I have never offered an affiliate program as it wasn't really necessary and i worried about becoming a 'product.' However I'm in a situation now as a result of the tougher economic times that allows me to devote much more time to the site. I feel i have a strong base to work from, with over 11 years of content on offer with more added (and to be added) every week. This content is pretty unique in that it's very real -- not staged as real, but these are cams in my house that capture the natural progression of real relationship and interaction between myself and my girlfriends over the years. My girlfriend now is a foxy 21 year old. Over the years, the primary interest has been from gay men -- after all, i was a skinny younger guy and the site was about me with the girls as a backdrop for that. But because of my situation now with a steady girlfriend there should be an opportunity to tap into the vast straight and bi markets. I feel that this kind of content could leverage quite a following if it got the necessary exposure.

What i'm looking for is a handful of experienced affiliates i can work with to drive traffic the right way, and that help teach ME the best way to get conversions while keeping the integrity of what the site is.

If you're interested , please reply to this thread or hit me up by email seth at webseth dot com or yahoo messenger web_seth

Thank you!

Your sig link redirects to a fleshlight page?

webseth · 07-13-2010, 06:51 AM

the fleshlight redirect is a geoblock and it's pretty narrow actually so thats unlucky

ez12 · 07-13-2010, 10:16 AM

After reading your story I was quite interested, but I got redirected to the fleshlights as well

Perhaps it would convert better if you wouldn't redirect 99% of your traffic to the fleshlights..

Just a thought

webseth · 07-13-2010, 10:55 AM

hah that's double unlucky -- where are you guys from that are being redirected? please if youre interested, hit me up on icq and i can put an exception in the filter and discuss from there

Interesting site seth.

Try posting this in the main fucking around forum. It is a lot busier than here.

Good luck.

I'd like to bump this thread, i've updated the site (in sig) trying to get a more mainstream edge to it -- still eager to get some webmasters on board with me to get some promotion through blogs, articles, and other mainstream avenues
