When it comes to converting niche traffic, you gotta know your niche thoroughly. Teen "niche" Big tits "niche" etc. etc. etc. are really mainstream porn and not niche at all. Calling them niche is like calling the porn business a niche in the entertainment business. Niche is something very, very specific. You can be staring it in the face and miss it. When the affcianado of a niche sees it. His credit card slides smoothly out of his wallet because he can't help himself. If you have thousands of people competing for the business, it is hardly a niche.
I think a more appropriate term is boutique. Low traffic volume, large profit margins and great conversions. Marketing niche traffic is best done by someone who is an enthusiast. It is quite simple. In the niche business there are tons of free sites....really free...like they make no money...who will send you focussed traffic at no cost at all. What could be better?
Someone on this board once said if you even use the word mainstream, then you probably are a pornographer. Mainstream webmasters are just...well...webmasters.
In the niche business, the word niche is never used.
Most mainstream porn webmasters do a bad job at niche marketing because they have no idea how to do it. Just throwing huge volumes of traffic at it just doesn't work.
Oh yeah, and this is a great thread.
