Sorry for the lack of updates. My brain and time has been immersed into my side business. Yes, my porn site.

I’ve been kind of reluctant to post about my new little project, but I might as well get on with it since it is taking up a lot of my time.

I finally got around to getting it up and running, releasing it live on Tuesday. Traffic has been rolling in as I’m starting to understand how the “biz” works, and how to be good at it.

Tuesday I pulled in 24 unique hits to my site!

Wednesday: 428

Thursday: 290

Friday: 800

Today I expect 11000 unique hits to come through, as I’ve discovered a gold mine in garnering traffic.
All in all, I’ll have about 13000 hits by the end of the night in total since I’ve been up. And with that large number I’ll have amassed a grand total of $0.00 for my effort.

I knew getting into to this wouldn’t be easy, but the more I uncover about the business the more I realize that it’s a lot harder than I thought it would be. At the same time, if I work my way up I’m sure things will pay off. It probably won’t be until my site hits 50k in traffic that I’ll make my very first sale.

Being a free porn webmaster earns a lot of the top dogs in the business half a million a year in sales. I’d love to reach that point sometime, but I know it’s not going to happen overnight. Most who get into this business don’t make much with it, and those that do make it have to pay their dues. Some of the webmasters I’ve been talking to took them 11 months before they made their very first dollar from internet porn.
I guess here’s a rundown of what I do:

I’m running what’s called a “babeblog”. It’s a blog like this, except everyday I make a blog post with a dozen or so pictures for free. I get the pictures from a sponsor, who gives me the content to market. If a visitor likes what he sees on my site, he’ll click the link to purchase a membership with my sponsor site. I get 50% of what my sponsor is charging plus 50% of the “rebills”. That is, if Joe Schmoe buys smut through me and keeps his account for a year, I get half of the revenue of what he pays for the year.

Sounds simple enough doesn’t it? The tricky part is to actually market the site and gather visitors. The internet porn industry is much larger than the games industry and pulls in a dozen or two billion dollars a year… however, there’re probably more than that number of porn sites out there. Worse yet, I have to convince my visitors that the content I’m fronting is worth the money, and we all know how hard it is to pull a shiny penny from someone over the internet.

The act of gathering traffic is a lot more sophisticated than it seems. There are really complex systems out there that monitor and redirect traffic. I guess for me to be successful, I’ll have to investigate deeply how it all works.

The ace up my sleeve: my m4d computing science skills! Yes, all those fancy algorithms and techniques I thought I’d never apply are actually very applicable for this business. I have to find ways to pull users to my site to look at content they want to look at. This involves all sorts of filtering algorithms, but also I have to figure out how Google’s pagerank system works to capitalize on Search Engine hits. Google is king of the internet, and even more so in the porn industry. If you type in “Teen Girls” into Google, the very first site that comes up is a porn site that pulls in more than a million a year.

I just want my own piece of that huge pie!

PS: No, I will not list the URL to my site!
