You'll hear me refer to "psychology" a lot especially if someone asks me to review their tour. That's what I'm talking about, you have to get inside that surfers head and know how they think. And when i see a cookie cutter tour, I just roll my eyes and dont bother to send a single click.

Best recent innovation I can think of? Geo-targetted ads.

Why? Psychology.

Whether it's a dating site, cam site or whatever, it tickles what I jokingly call the "availability gene" in the male. If the girl is close, there's a better chance you might actually meet her. "Hot blonde" isn't near as appealing as "Hot blonde down the street". Amateur sites have known this for ages, it's the "real girl" appeal versus "glam model".....the glam model is just a model, thus more inaccessible. Amateur girls like Carol Cox who have parties and invite surfers, do huge bank.

On the other end, wanna take a solo girl site and see your sales cut in half? Let her put in her blog that she just got married.

And the worst thing you can do is totally lose site of your ability to surf your own sites with the eyes of your would be customers. Some of the large companies in this industry have done this. I shake my head when I see them coming up with nifty new twists on their sites but their programmers have done a minimal job and gone home leaving bugs in place that drive surfers crazy. It's flushing money down the toilet.

Ya I forgot bout the GEO thing. Thats gotta be the biggest idea in a long time It's absolutely a zoom right in your face thing people notice on web pages right off the bat, A really great creation.
But I still feel everyone is zoned into the web still to much, And to a point in certain areas we're heading in the wrong direction in a sense. Like GonZo mentioned earlier about .mobi's, actually it's a great innovation, but not for porn. I mean who the fuck is gonna watch dirty clips or movies while on the bus to work or wherever. that mobile crap is for a younger generation who are more into ringtones and cool screensavers and other gadgets. but it's not the place for adult content.
New ideas are out there. but all the pieces haven't been put together yet for Adult content world yet. The pornotube? there's no real shit to be made there. it's fallen into the "To much Free stuff again" category. That's exactly one of the biggest problems in Adult Industry is that innovation is so bad that they can't come up with any creative ideas, So they figure the next best thing to do is just give porn all away since no one can thing of anything better to do to promote it thats sad man.
