Your ideas to monetize an adult website ? (22)

---

Apart from doing lead gen in real estate/legal/finance, I decided to buy websites with a stable amount of traffic. The idea is to boost their monetization and generate an almost passive income. Ideally I can grow a portfolio of websites.

I was initially focused on websites in my key verticals, but I found a cheap adult website currently monetized with a smartlink gaining around 100 USD a month. Tier-1 European geo, 40,000 unique visits / 200,000 page views per month. Not much, but to test the water, it was enough. Audience is men 18-35. Not xxx content, but men looking for escorts.

What offers would you test? I already have in mind push sub / dating popunder / cam offers.

I could do email subscriptions if anyone is interested in buying the leads. Let me know.

---

Push subs for additional monetization.

Then you can test banners if you have good spots on the page and/or in-page push, for EU geos there are good dating offers.

Is the traffic from search engines?

If yes it should be good quality traffic, in that case you can test dating rev share offers.

With good quality traffic it can be much more worth it compared to SOI/DOI.

Of course you could also add a popunder but I don´t know if this would harm your search engine rankings.

We talked about this a bit already, but let me post here in case someone is in a similar situation

Escort traffic is one of the best types for dating, so I would definitely start with that. In my experience, escort traffic leads convert to paid members pretty well so I would even consider using a high payout PPS or Revshare offer. Since most of the traffic is from one GEO, it should be easy to setup and you wouldnt even need an AD server. If the % of traffic from other GEOs is significant, you might want to setup a simple ad server and either sell the out of GEO impressions to some ad network or setup offers in other main GEOs too. You can do standard banners, but I would also test a popunder or maybe push subs as twinaxe suggested... but, if the traffic comes from google, be cautious as they tend to penalize sites with excessive usage of POPs or push subscriptions.

Cams should work pretty well with this traffic too. Apart from standard banners, you can also create a few fake profiles in the listings and send these clicks to dedicated cam landers that would feature the same model.

You can also try a few "supplemental" products, such as iStripper: https://affiliates.istripper.com/home.php Fleshlight: https://www.fleshlight.eu/pages/affiliates ... both of them are proven converters.

Escort sites also profit from listing actual escorts, but thats a bit sensitive territory and only applies to sites that are real escort directories... is the site you bought a real escort directory or just a fake setup?

You could also try to promote paid sites, but that would be just a random sale here and there with that level of traffic.

---

Yes. Almost exclusively from search engines.
When you say banners, you mean selling spot to ad networks. If so, any network to recommend?


Great. These were offers I was looking for to diversify. Will test these two. If you have others to recommend, let me know.

I discussed that with the previous owner. He tried and he wasted time to reach out. Very limited response + payment collection. I prefer to stick with affilate offers for now.

What do you mean by paid sites? Subscription-based member sites?

---

If you decide to use a network, exoclick is your best option from my experience, they yield the best CPMs. Alternatively, check ero-advertising, they can work well too and they have quite a few local EU sites in the mix so there should be enough buyers for such traffic.

You could also try promoting some sextoy stores or alternatives to fleshlight such as https://www.tenga.co.uk/pages/become-an-affiliate

Yup, there are many paid adult content sites that you could promote. Maybe try something more "innovative" such as the VR porn niche, here is one of the pioneers : https://vrporn.cash/

Quick update. I optimized the wordpress for speed from 2.5s to 0.3s. I had no time to improve pages and SEO so far nor test new ads placement.
Revenue doubled. On track to do almost 250 USD per month. Mostly with one dating smartlink.


- ClickDealer Adult dating & gaming smartlinks did not work as PopUnder. I switched to a direct casual dating offer today.
- iStripper did not convert at all.
- Still waiting approval for Fleshlight
- VRPorn is only in English, so I am going to look for a French VR.


Previous owner had an info product, which could be useful to sell again but I need to work on the copy.

Great investment so far :-)

---

iStripper needs some time to show potential, the cvr wont be spectacular but the members retain very well. It also doesnt work with all the creatives, do they still offer those animations where the girls "walks in" from the side and starts stripping on the desktop? Those used to work the best.

Glad to hear the revenue doubled, the site should pay for itself in no time this way

Livecams tend to work pretty well on popunder, have you tried this? Again, these take time to convert but some programs pay several $100s per sale so it can be worth it. You can also sell the popunders directly to some network, but there is a risk involved as you have no control over what get's displayed in the popunders.

So far so good! Keep us posted how this experiment plays out

---

Yes, they still have it, and they recommended the same. It looks good on Desktop. On mobile though, they just have a black rectangle poping up on the bottom of the screen, and it does not really look very enticing. CTR was way down vs Desktop.

Not yet tried. Any livecams to recommend? CrakRevenue suggested xlovecams and cam4.

---

Oh yes, I was afraid there might be a problem with mobile traffic. That's not an option then.

Crakrevenue has been pretty strong with cams, so I wouldn't be worried to try their cam offers, they should be solid. Alternatively, you can try the large platforms such as imlive or livejasmin or chatturbate. It might also be a good idea to try and find some local FR platform, there must be some out there.

Hey Jeremie,

If you want to try a cam offer, we own a brand and are looking for traffic world-wide. Weekly payments and can work CPA or CPL (both SOI & DOI).

Add me on Skype and let's talk @live:bigtime50_2


Thanks,
Tzachi

Hei Jeremie,

Two more ideas for you would be:
1. Turn one of your websites into a whitelabel for a decent adult dating or cam network. If you manage to get an exclusive deal with any vendors, a pay bump and revenue-share deal might make this quite worth your while.
2. Perhaps use classic and non-intrusive 1/24 frequency capped pops to slightly increase your rev on the side as well. We're always welcoming new publishers on PopCash

Hello,

If you want you can try our offer. We have some products in adult category.

Hello, I saw this thread, and it relates to me as well. I have an EMD escort website I built in Feb, and that ranks #1 in USA Google Search. It is an Escort site in Latin America. We have several girls listed for free to keep traffic high, and ofcourse we get many many messages each day from men looking to book escorts. We get about 50-100 visitors per day on average, and now I wish to monetize this site. I am wondering if I should do LiveCam offers, or other high converting offers that pay well? I have experience in traditional SEO as well as rank and rent sites, but I have no clue about affiliate marketing, nor a clue about adult affiliate. This is my first adult site, and looking for some direction. I started building some tube sites to try and get some experience there too. I wish there was an Adult Affiliate Marketing mentor or course that could help me. I joined STM a few days ago in hopes of finding both. Thank you

---

Escort traffic is know to convert extremely well with dating and livecams, so I'd say the same advice I gave to jeremie above, applies to you as well.

But 50-100 visits a day isnt a lot at all so I wouldnt expect miracles.

Since you mentioned that the people are actually reaching out to you, why dont you try to email a dating offer to them, something that relates to the Latin theme of your site.

---

Thank you Matuloo. How much traffic should be minimum? I know Adult is different for traffic... Can you please suggest what are the best sources for me to grow this site's traffic much better? Paid links, or perhaps something else, and from who can I get this from? And, who is a good, reputable source for dating products? Thanks

---

There is no minimum The more traffic you will get, the more money you will make. But of couse, the more traffic you can send to a network, the more attention you will get from them.

You mentioned that you know how to do SEO so stick to that with this site. Buying traffic to increase the visits on a site monetized with ads is not gonna bring you profits. Paid links can help, or hurt, based on where you get them from. I'd say try to look for similar sites to see if you can do some link exchanges but try to arrange AB/BC or even AB/BD exchanges, so dont just link from your site A to their site B and ask for a link back. Look for people with multiple sites and exchange links that way.

What have you done in terms of SEO so far btw, the visits are coming in even though at a low pace, so maybe just do more of what you already did?

---

Thanks Matuloo,

- I registered a high search EMD Keyword domain
- I did lots of high search keywords for on page SEO content
- I Optimized all H1,2,3 meta, alt tags, etc
- Speed optimized the site
- I had built a bunch of social signal links, like registering a bunch of social profiles, citations etc for NAP of business for branding. (This is what I have done for traditional SEO and rank and rent).
- Also the web developer I hired did some paid advertising links from the big Escort Directories and still have them, like 10 links with html banners on home page
- There are 25 Referring Domains from the escort directory type sites
- 100 nofollow links from the adult/escort directory type sites to specific webpages

I have heard that Adult SEO is nothing like traditional, and that I would have to use paid links from Adult Networks etc. So, I guess I'm a little confused on whether I just need to continue doing paid escort directories for links, or maybe there is something else better?

I saw this thread here, and wondering if this is something to look into? https://stmforum.com/forum/showthrea...14ampamp128520

This is not going to help with SEO much, if at all. All these networks sell ads on the major tube sites, and the banners/links are up only when you win the auction for a particular impression. So the google bot might find it once, then a few hours later it wont be there... I doubt such links would have any SEO benefit.

I dont think adult SEO is that different from traditional. You still need properly optimized content and you need links pointing to it. There is one thing though, all the top KWs are taken by the large tubes that have insane numbers when it comes to on page factors, such as time on site, number of pages per session, bounce rate... you can hardly compete against these with an escort listing site. But then again, you should be targeting escort specific KWs, not general "porn" related terms.

Buying links on escort directories can definitely help, but these should be solid text based links with correct anchor text linking directly to your web, without any redirect. You could also try to gain some links via outreach to website owners in the excort niche. General adult blogs could work well, if they have some escort related articles that they would link to you from.

When I was running adult websites, selling links was a significant part of my income, and I doubt this has changed. Trading links was also huge at that point and when done correctly it helped a lot.

I'm out of this part of the business so not sure what the situation is like now, but there used to be a ton of websites (thubmnail gallery posts or free site directories) where I could submit a page with some photo or video content, that was a great way of getting links too. And I've seen escort sites using this approach too, they would post something like a short story about how they found a girl on "this" escort site and had great time with her, then there were photos around the text that should present the narrative of the story. Try to check if there are still some active ones that take submissions.

If you want to build the organic traffic of your escort site, I would keep doing what you are already. Produce optimized content and look for places to get a link from

BTW: do you have access to any SEO tool, something like ahrefs? I would definitely use some to analyze some other high ranking escort sites to see where they get backlinks from and try to some in the same places.

---

Thanks Matuloo. Yeah, my system is AHREFS, KeywordCupid, Grammarly, Hemingway, and then tweaked content in Surfer SEO. I have my competitor's backlinks but they look similar to mine, and surprised I rank ahead of them on a few high search keywords, when they have so many more backlinks than me. I'm thinking because my content is better? No idea. But, yeah I will have someone help me on backlink outreach to try and propel even further on other KWs too.

---

Quick follow up on that site. I duplicated the concept on another geo. Last 30 days profit reached 500 USD, vs 120 when I bought it. The 1400 USD investment is now paid back. Traffic is very stable. I am going to promote a bit more Live Cam on popunder, because 100 USD comission could help increase even more.

A nice little experiment running on autopilot . I am going to buy bigger sites now.

---

Very nice!

I'm not sure now, but did you actually try to ad some Ad zones on the website? Escort traffic is valued very high, so the CPMs should be nice.

---

Hi For example, you can place a banner on your website and through it drive traffic to our offers and get paid for every lead
