Heya Fellas,
My name is Jason and I’ve been an adult webmaster for about 10 years now. Started off in the game as a sys admin for a small hosting company which sold after a few years. During that time got to know my customers and launched my first TGP, the rest is history as they say.
My Sites
I’m new to the gay area of adult so I’ve started off with a TGP (http://www.exboyfriendz.com) and an MGP (http://www.gaymoviesex.com), the formats that I’m most experienced and comfortable with. My partner and I do run some big blogs, directories, and “babe dumps (example: http://babeunion.com)” though from what I’ve seen from your guys sig links, these types of blogs/sites may not exist in the gay adult arena… may have to change that
That being said, I have yet to really make my way through the various gay networks out there, I’m working on it though :).
why i’m here
I’ve been looking for a good webmaster hangout for a few months. Every market in adult seems to have a different set of rules and variations of blogs/tgp’s/tubes. I’m not sure how I stumbled onto this board but I’m glad I have, as this looks to be “the place”. Over the years I’ve seen just about everything happen on the net and have used about every service. So if you ever need an opinion or recommendation for services or something, feel free to PM me, I’m always happy to help.
Though really why I’m here is that I’m going to be on the receiving end of that help for the most part. On the straight side of things we have 100’s of thousands in traffic a day, over here I’m a humble green horn hoping to learn how the two differ and hopefully find a way to succeed.
excuses
I’d ask for feedback on our first 2 sites, but honestly they are extremely basic. Dipping my toes in the water as it were. While we’ve been able to generate a solid 12k/day to exboyfriendz.com and it seems to be doing well, these two sites are really just so I can spend most of my time figuring out how to be successful here before investing a big chunk of my time in making a high quality blog or directory (freeones type, not a link list type, i never did get into those). Eventually as I surf around more, we’ll redesign the existing sites so they are hot bitch sexy :). But for now, we’re going with the basic layout. Let’s face it, the surfers are there for the content not some cool looking graphics. Though I’ve found that if I don’t think a site looks awesome, I won’t work on it much, so I end up spending money on making them look good, pretty much to keep myself interested in working on them :bang:
down to the biz
I’d welcome any referrals to programs that you know convert well as well as any other resource sites like GayDemon.
In the meantime, if any of you guys want to trade with my sites, i’ve left the signup forms open and you can find links on mrvids.com, they are auto approved right now until they start getting spammed by sites that aren’t on the up’n’up. And if you’re selling any banner space or links, please let me know. I would be sending direct to my TGP/MGP from the banner spot and have a script that makes the “banner” use the exact same image as my #1 thumb. So when surfers click on it, they get to my site and see that gallery that they clicked the image for, there in the banner is not misleading. I’m all about building quality traffic and I’ve found this way works pretty well in making everyone happy.
