Adult Affiliate Program

Your best bet is to go with something a little softer. There are many sub-topics of sex that can be sold just as easily. If you use the word sex in any way, forget about ever doing Adwords and real marketing. Trust me, I have a domain, with the word "Sex" in it and it has been nothing but a pain to promote. I though the same thing, that it would just take off, but it's rather time consuming and difficult. Hope that helps.

Hello,

I took a look at your site as I have discussed a site/blog as an avenue. A friend of mine is quite a good writer and she already gets lots of hits on her forum pages. Anyways, looking at your site and I think it has a lot of great info. I also like the color choice. As a new visitor, this is the constructive feedback:
- It seems hard to navigate through parts of the site. I went to the store, but couldn't get back to the Home page.
- Not all of the title tags are optimized.
- The home page does not have a visual anchor. Maybe take it down to one, wide column of text?
- The blog posts are a bit long and don't seem real. You could also do some occasional sales by placing links in your blog.
- Signing up for the newsletter is not an option from the home page (if it is, it's hard to find).
- I think the prices and products are great - I just need a reason to purchase, to feel connected, feel like I need to purchase your items, there is not a call to action or sense of urgency.

I hope my feedback helps.

Just to update you... I bought some PPC and had an immediate increase in traffic but still not many sales. I have had critics say there was way too much text on home page but not enough to make folks interested in going deeper into the site. I am currently adding some provocative pictures spread among all that text. Folks will be able to click on the pictures and go straight to the product page in the "store" area. I should have it complete by the 3rd of March if yaw'll take a look and give me some more feedback, I'd really appreciate it.. I also wrote a report 10 Tips to a Better Sexlife & Relationship that is on an autoresponder when folks register for my newsletter. Problem is, they are getting the free report but not clicking on the link to authorize me to send newsletters per the CAN SPAM Act. I am using get response. Does anyone have experience with this? Will it take two autoresponders? One to sign up with a response to "click this link to authorize me to send further info... Then - sending the report? Seems kinda convoluted but it may be the only way to get a list going... What do you think?

Hi, Dudeverve. I appreciate your research on my behalf. I tried PPC but not the keywords you used. I used: lingerie, corset, bustier, thong, sexy shoes, sexy dresses, romantic games... Traffic climbed high and fast but I only made a couple of sales for my $200 PPC investment... Perhaps if I tried - buy lingerie, shop for corset,... that sort of keyphrase and did a PPC on those, I'd get less traffic but at least it would be quality and more targeted. I have never seen this discussed anywhere but it seems logical. The 89 cent cost for love and sex is out of my price range. I was paying 7 - 15 cents for the keywords I used in my earlier PPC.

I have just rebuilt my landing page adding pictures of models in lingerie. The pictures are clickable so as to draw folks deeper into the site (hopefully) and the optin has been redesigned to be more esthetically pleasing and to work better with the page design. Feedback on new design would be appreciated.

Now to complicate things further, I am going to change hosting providers from godaddy to Hostgater. Godaddy was just costing me too much money. I have been with them for years and really like their customer service but after checking out Hostgator, it looks like I can get similar services for much much less. (No, I am not a Hostgator affiliate - smile). I am worried that my site may be down a few days as I make the transfer. I suppose now is better than after I have lots of steady traffic.

Again, thanks for your help and suggestions

You are a big help! I read somewhere that 3rd position was actually better than 1st. Some convoluted reason about folks wanting to look further than first site they come to before making a buy decision...
