TRAFFIC! TRAFFIC! TRAFFIC! Quite an ugly word when it comes to being stuck in the traffic jam, in the center of a big city; it can also turn into one of the loveliest words when referring to all the people that visit our Web sites. After all, which would be the use of a web site that nobody sees? Create the world's most visited site and you'll get incredibly richer as days go by. It's essential to create traffic for your own web pages, especially in a highly competitive sector such as adult sites. So much traffic, so much profit. Little traffic will only bring you down. In this page we'll show you a few ways to increase the traffic of your own site.

What does traffic's quality mean? If this is the question that you have in your mind right now, then these lines will be very useful for you. Traffic on Internet is not always the same. That's why you need to learn as soon as possible how to distinguish between Good Traffic and Bad Traffic, especially in a field such as adult sites. The difference is that Good Traffic generates sales, while Bad Traffic only makes you spend a great deal of expensive bandwidth. How can you distinguish between the two? This is what we'll see in the next paragraphs.

The SEARCH ENGINES are some of the best existing traffic sources. Web professionals know that nowadays is getting more and more difficult to find exactly what you are looking for through the search engines. When it comes to sexual sites, any search has a completely random result. Whoever uses the search engines, trying to find sex on the Internet, is most probably a beginner in this field. That's why he knows none of the many ways to find free sex on the Internet and therefore he uses the worst possible way to find it: the search engines. Almost all the sexual content sites indexed in the search engines are nothing but "traps" trying to lead the possible client to a payment site. So, whoever is looking for sex using search engines will probably find only payment sites and will see for himself that he will not get anything to see without a credit card. The reason why the traffic coming from the search engines is considered to be one of the best is that sooner or later these people will sign up somewhere.

Receiving traffic from the search engines is not as easy as it used to be. Nowadays the competition for showing up is continuously increasing, while the search engines can no longer cope with it. The waiting time before having your pages being indexed by the search engines increases year after year, month after month, and the search engines are now equipped with all the possibly imaginable filters to fight the trap pages of the adult sites. Of course, all the engines have their rules, their strong points and their weak ones. Later on, we'll continue to develop on this page more detailed files for each of all the big search engines. Meanwhile, we present a more generic approach.

There was a time when it was enough to hide in your page the wanted keywords, repeated hundreds or thousand of times in order to show up in the top lists of the search engines. Nowadays this technique is more than useless as far as the majority of the search engines are concerned. The engines don't index words which are repeated too often any more in a document, nor pages recognized as traps. The only way to cheat on a good search engine is to pretend that you don't want to cheat it. That involves creating pages that look as normal as possible. The fact that these pages are more or less useful is of no importance.

Handle with care also the META TAGS of your pages. These refer to those sections of the page that cannot be seen in a browser. In these sections, information is stored for the search engines. Generally this information is the first thing that a potential visitor perceives of your site because those phrases are listed after a search with the engine. Don't exaggerate with the key words! Altavista, for example, in the META TAGS of the key words it doesn't index more than 1024 characters. By putting more you're only risk to be excluded.

To be listed in the search engines you need first to submit your sites to them. It's a long and boring work, but it can also be done automatically. There is specialized software that superposes your pages to thousands and thousands of search engines and public or private link lists. With a few dollars, you buy the software and you'll soon realize its advantage and the saving you are making by using it. Yes, you are saving money, because even your work has a cost and a value. Being able to automize it, you'll be able to dedicate your time to other kind of works. The best program of this kind is SUBMITWOLF. I know what some of you are probably thinking: "I'm going to make myself a nice Internet search for a pirate copy or a serial number". Go ahead, if that makes you feel smart. But let me tell you that in the long run this will turn to be a lost time. Every five minutes the search engines and the links indexes change their way of submitting URLS. This is why only by having a legally paid version will you be able to make use of the necessary and continuous updates of the data base of the engines, allowing you to continue using the program with the efficiency required by your work. You'll find around the web also a lot of offers of the type "we submit your links to +40.000 search engines for X dollars ". Well, these people all use programs of the type SUBMITWOLF, reason for which it's the most stupid trade you could ever do. Why paying for a single submission when, with the software installed on your computer you can make the same thing every time you want to. (and if you really want to, you can afterwards offer the others the same services on payment)

We have talked about the best kind of traffic, now let's talk about the worst kind, which is probably the one generated by TGP (Thumbnail Gallery Post). These are sites specialized in listing the free images galleries (AMPLAND, ADULTBUFFET, ecc.). You publish a gallery of free pictures and they put you on their list of sites. For a few days your site will be accessed so many times that your server might be submitted to a rough test (and you will spend a lot of money on bandwith). The fact is this traffic will invade your site, move around sucking one gigabyte after the other, but without buying anything or clicking on any banner. The numerous visitors of these kind of sites have already found their mine of free porno sites. Why should they pay to see others? But then again, someone may ask: if this isn't a profitable business, then why do these TGP still exist? Because in the end even this may turn out to be useful. From the mass of visitors, sometimes it would pop up one willing to spend money for seeing better stuff. This phenomenon is also due to the fact that TGP's free galleries are usually intended to be of a quite scarce quality.

If you don't know what Adult Verification Systems (AVS) are, we are explaining it to you on this other page. Apart from generating profit, the AVS can also prove to be extremely useful in generating traffic.

What actually happens when you create a site that you protect with one (or more) AVS? What it happens is that your site is included in the listings that your AVS offers to its members who are looking for things to see. And if your site is listed in a good place it's possible that somebody might find it, one of the reason being the fact that nowadays there are many who register to AVS. ADULT CHECKalone counts more than a million members. Having an Adult Check ID, the members can freely navigate through other 100.000 sites protected by this AVS. Naturally, ADULT CHECK has already arranged the 100.000 by different categories and subcategories, so that every client could easily find what he likes best. The result is that the sites protected by the AVS receive a certain quantity of traffic from the AVS itself. Now the question is wheather this Traffic is Good or Bad. The answer is not so simple. What makes an AVS traffic to be considered as Bad Traffic is the fact that the visitors, having their code, already have free access to seeing thousands and thousands of protected sites. Why should they pay to see more? On the other hand, the thing that makes the traffic coming from the AVS be seen as Good Traffic is that the AVS clients are exclusivly people who have credit card and who have already used it for entering an adult circuit. If they have already used it, sooner or later they will do it again. Besides, AVS protected sites are generally quite scarse in their content too. Just a little better than TGP, however they will rather soon become boring too.

And so the surfer coming from the AVS will sign up even to some professional sites. And that's how you make profit (or make profit again). If you decide to exploit the potential traffic coming from the AVS, you can create a site and protect it with as many AVS as possible. But in this case you'll earn less from the AVS signup commissions (every AVS pays lower commissions for a non excusively protected site) and as a matter of fact you'll even globally receive less signups (the more AVS you use, the bigger the probability that the visitor already has the code of one of these). In exchange, you will receive more traffic in the protected pages due to the fact that all the AVS that you use will have listed your site in their listings of protected sites.

An old method, always good for generating traffic for your own sites is that of registering to any TOPLIST. A toplist is actually a page where different sites are listed in a table, taking into account the number of accesses sent back to TOPLIST by these sites. Indeed, it's a big mess that usually works, giving back to the webmasters even more traffic. If you want to make an experiment, one of the most popular lists of Italy is no doubt TOP100ITALIA.COM.

Although one of the easiest systems, for different reasons, it's hardly convenient. First of all, it requires a constant work. While submitting a page to the search engines is a work that you only do once, putting an announcement on the newsgroups is an activity that requires a lot of time and repeated effort. Secondly, it's easy ending up in the so-called SPAMMING, which is something very little praised in the Web community. In fact, if you promote your site on the inappropriate newsgroups, possibly someone will complain, generating problems for you with your provider. The worst scenario would be your Hosting Provider kicking you out of its server. And, if afterwards it occurs to you the idea of publishing the links of your sponsors directly on the newsgroups, you can immediately say farewell even to your relation with the sponsors. All the sponsors strongly prohibit this kind of promotion and they immediately realize it if someone is sending accesses in this way. In the conclusion, if you want to get traffic from the newsgroups, do it, but with attention and precautions. Don't go out of the newsgroup's theme. Don't step out of line. And maybe let first the traffic rebound on a free host :-)

The quality of traffic coming from the newsgroups as far as the adult sites are concerned it is not very good. Those who have learned how to go around with newsgroups, have discovered an almost endless source of porno pics of all kind and most often of good quality, too. That's again the point. Why would they have to pay to see something else? And even the answer is always the same: to change a little bit. In the long run, curiosity and exploring spirit can beat a rational analysis of the situation. More, on the newsgroups you cannot find interactive videochat, live sex shows, porno video streaming feeds...

A different way of receiving traffic is to buy it. The web is full of sites specialized in buying and reselling traffic. We will soon publish a specific guide. Turning to this method is advisable only for those who already have precise knowledge of how much their sites are able to generate on the basis of a certain quantity of traffic. Otherwise, you risk to pay the traffic much more than this traffic will bring you back in terms of revenues. Therefore, buying traffic can prove to be either the best or the worst of your choices. A precise marketing plan based on a solid experience is needed before going in this direction without taking too many risks. Or, you may dare to try, and risk…!
