do you promote a product or service? than why not treat it like a brick and mortar business? I read in here on how to get traffic to a mainstream site or even a adult site. have you ever considered marketing other than online? Fist thing to do is get the 1-5000 ratio out of your head, large numbers mean nothing if you target possible consumers product specific.
example One of our main products is
Non pierced nipple decorations not hardcore but not mainstream so we target Mature consumers with the motto "forget reality live your fantasy. people who might be tired of the "ole in and out" in missionary position, we offer a alternative to boring sex for the open mind. therefore we run ads in local underground papers, tattoo body jewelry stores, flyers and business cards with just our website listed and our logo. We distribute in clubs, leave on tables in restaurants anywhere and everywhere...... we keep it more G rated by promoting our mainstream site which is mainly our
ebay store in even more places where "the wrong visitors " is a concern with a round about link up to our more mature and vis a versa.
think of You business as a brick and mortar shop with your invertory in cyberspace waiting to be shipped.......
in the old days "porn" was found in the back of hustler and such......900 numbers were handed out in cards on the vegas strip...... turn of you PC and promote..... when a co worker talks of buying hs wife a teddy outfit hand him your card....... promote your business and hand a card with it...... 10 customers who want what you have are better than 10k tgp surfers........
