After my little experiment in the internet porn business, I have shut down my domain and website due to lack of interest.

I started my internet porn website less than a year ago, first launching it sometime back in March/April.  It was a get rich quick scheme.  Well, to be honest, I never thought getting rich from it would be a quick process.  It was more of a “generate money independently” scheme.  I hate working for other people.

Anyways, the gist of my operation is to act as a middle-man and get referrals to porn sites.  In return, I get 50% of the subscription for the initial payment and for all subsequent subscription payments.  Sounds pretty sweet hey? It is for the most part.

I admit that I watch smut.  Yes, like many other men out there, I take pleasure in the viewing of beautiful naked women.  So why not take something that I enjoy, and have it generate money for me?

For one thing, the demand for porn is something that will never decrease.  Men will always want it, in large quantities, in all varieties and types.  The internet is an amazing method of distribution too, as I wouldn’t have to sell physical copies of porn.  Meaning I’d never have to invest much in the business.

All I had to do to setup “shop”, was to build a website, grab the free teaser porn from the major porn distributors, and advertise my site.  Those who goto my site will hopefully like the first few sample photos enough to pay for more of it and get a subscription.

Of course, the hurdle of it all is the advertising bit and the fact that the internet is over-saturated with porn.  There are millions of other sites just like mine, and it takes quite a bit of effort to push traffic to my site.  I had devised all sorts of schemes to write automated programs and web-bots to scour the net to spam my site.  I had some pretty neat ideas, and employing them would definitely push me above the rest of the smut-mongers out there.  I’d use my comp. sci. abilities for the nefarious business of selling pornography.

The first phase of my program was to automate the updates to my website.  I wrote a little script that would pull from a cache of pre-packaged photo-shoots and it would automatically update my site every day with a new girl.  Of course, I’d have to find and package those photos… but having the automated script saved me oodles of time.

The next hurdle is the constant maintenance of the site. Guys have short attention span, and they want to wank to as many different pictures of women as possible.  So the site has to be constantly updated, almost daily, to get return traffic and new traffic.  This means that I have to sift through tons of crappy smut to post to my site as good smut.   Now being a fellow porn watcher, you would think that I wouldn’t have any problems with this, but when it becomes a chore it grows tiresome quite quickly.

So, I eventually lost interest in running the site.  What didn’t help too, was the fact that I had graduated from University and got a real job, where I quickly found that I actually enjoy computing and should probably better spend my time developing a skill… rather than maintaining an empire of pornography.

SxxyGirls.com had doubled my initial investment of $30.  As I write this, it is also the first hit on Google when you query sxxygirls (surprise!), but also is listed on a ton of other sites that refer to it.  It also shows up when query the names of some of the lovely beauties that I had posted up on the site.  If anything, the site gave me a better understanding of what it takes to increase your site’s Google page rank.

In the end, I ask “was it worth it?”  Sure, I enjoyed learning about the world of internet pornography.  There is surprisingly a lot to learn about it, and it is an interesting venture to be in.  It just wasn’t my cup of tea.
