Online porn created new trends, and the world of porn very much drove the evolution of online video I would say.“When video came out, porn was the first one there, porn kept video growing like crazy,” says adult film director Richard DeMontfort.Now it became a multi-billion dollar industry. How? Why? Do you think it is because of the average new genders thirst for porn? The concept Sex Sells works? Opinions may vary, but the goal is same here become viral and generate bucks. Porn marketers, though unethical, are brilliant enough to survive in this world.Just to make things clear, my interest here isn’t in the world of porn. The sites and videos I have seen are only for survey and business model purposes.Pornography Time Statistics (2011)Every second $3,075.64 is being spent on pornography.Every second 28,258 internet users are viewing pornography.Every second 372 internet users are typing adult search terms into search engines.Every 39 minutes A new pornographic video is being created in the United States.1. Offering Fewer Choices Actually Increases ClicksHaving lots of options and links will confuse your users, make them leave soon. Have you noticed the tours some porn sites offer? Have you ever been on a tour? If it begins with a good note, then its difficult to stop. Theyll display the content first and then other options.Lesson: The primary goal of your blog is to convert a visitor into a reader. Dont provide your visitors too much of options, they will get confused and leave your blog soon. Try to make them concentrate on your blog posts.Most of the blogs offer links on every page, like recent and popular posts, recent comments, categories, blogroll, etc. You can avoid them, providing fewer choices increases clicks. You can also provide a simple tour of your blog, or allocate a section that displays the best content you love to show your readers.2. Provide Consistent Stream Of Content. Be Terrific.What makes a porn site successful? Yes, you are right great content. They provide new content (i.e., videos, images, so on) every day that encourage users to visit daily. Posting frequency is important here.Lesson: You need to provide a consistent stream of content if you want to build a following for your blog. Update your blog regularly with Quality Content. Content is the king, so make sure your readers can enjoy it. Your blog needs more content on your blog to get enough traffic and attr action.

Avoid Opening New Windows In Response To Closing Main WindowUsing target=_blank is one of the best ways to keep the visitors stay on their site. It should be up to every user in which window he or she should open the link and whether it should be opened at all. If you click any link on a porn site, it will open a new window without closing the current one. The parent site will still be online. Also don’t open supplementary windows.If you still need to open a brand new window, then let it pop up in response to some actions by the user. For example, when a user clicks on the Categories link. At any cause, a new window should not open unless it is unavoidable. The user should always be able to press the back button, and there should be anything preventing him.5. Using Teaser Content To Tempt Readers/UsersTeaser content is similar to previews and trailers. If they are seductive erotic, then users may make their next move. All the major porn membership websi tes are using such teaser content to tempt their visitors and then convert them into subscribers.You can also use some attractive thumbnail images to look compelling.Bloggers can do the same by creating appealing titles and showing post excerpts. Use Sexy title to grab readers attention. In Social Media, titles play the game, not the content.Example : HOW TO: Get Beautiful Female Models To Promote Your Brand For 5$Even though I was reviewing a site named Fiverr here, I changed the title completely which urges the viewers to read.6. Low Priced Trial PeriodsAlmost all the popular porn websites are allowing you to become a fully powered member of their site for just $1. By this, you can download as much as you want, cancel the subscription anytime you want. But after three days you are going to start getting billed monthly. They offer them a three-day $1 trial that rebills at $29.99 per month when they get to the order page.Lesson: If you have any paid subscription method or selling eB ooks for discount price, then you can follow this trick in a ethical way, and not like the one mentioned above.Resources You Can Check: Explode Your E-Mail List With Pre-Filled Subscription FormHOW TO: Customize Feedburner Confirmation Email BodyCreate Your Own SMS Subscription Using Google Labs7. Successful Online Marketing Content DistributionI came across this excellent video cum presentation by Ed Celis titled Seven Things You Can Learn From Porn if you are a Digital Marketer on Vimeo. The video contains no adult content and is not intended to promote the porn industry, so its safe for viewing by anyone. It is primarily a video presentation with tips for successful online marketing and content distribution with samples taken from the adult industry. The video runs 21 minutes in length and worth your time if you are an online or digital marketer.The 7 main points from his presentation are:Content drives tech (and not the other way around)Recycle (thats good for business)Packagin g matters, a lotOwn your club, shop, portal or channelMove fast!Perception is (often) the larger element of your productSpecialty content sellsResources You Should Check: 3 Effective Marketing Tips For Bloggers4 Tips To Design Perfect Site For Boosting Your Internet Marketing Efforts8. Realizing The Potential For Long Tail KeywordsIf you are not aware of Long Tail Keywords, they are a type of keyword phrase that has, at least, three and sometimes as many as five words in the phrase. They are used when a blog wants to refine search terms to the page, as well as when the searcher is looking for something rather specific.I mentioned some excerpts from SEOmoz below,Most people use long tail keywords as an afterthought, or just assume these things will come naturally. The porn world, though, actually INVESTIGATES these long tails, then expands off them. They have the unique reality of a lot of really weird people out there, who will search for specific things. Right now, according to Wor dze, the most popular search featuring the word grandma is grandma sex, with an estimated 16,148 searches per month. From there, there is a decent variety of long tails including things like Filipino grandma sex. For the phrase teen sex, there are over 1000 recorded long tails that Wordze has, and in my experience, it misses A LOT (it only shows things with substantial search volume).Resources You Can Check: HOW TO: Check Keyword Density Using Google ToolbarHOW TO: Check Your Position On Google For A Particular Keyword9. Porn Spamming: Titillate your readersEvery day before going to the Inbox, Ill check the SPAM folder, and the headlines in my spam folder make for entertaining reading, but I know it is not worthy enough. But trust me, porn spam gets attention, unfortunately.Both the Internet Marketers and the Porn Spammers have one goal in their minds, To make them open your mail, no big deal here. But the tactics they implement plays a significant role.You can offer them (targets) exclusive access, free downloads, useful tips or other stuff that will benefit both the parties. You dont need to SPAM to grab their attention, even dont need to have any Porn content.Spammers dont care if 99% of their recipients arent interested in what they are promoting, but as Internet Marketers, we care.Some Tips To Improve Your Tactics:Short and Sweet: Your email messages should be short and get to the point immediately. You can make use of the subject header and grab the readers attention quickly. If that clicks, then having your content read is possible.Avoid Bulk Mailings: Spammers do that and you should not. Use subscribers name to build trust.Provide valuable Content: Nothing special, good content clicks often.READ5 Things Which Can Help You Make Career In Blogging10. Personal Branding Brand ManagementPersonal branding is nothing but the process whereby people and their careers are marked as brands. Brand management is the application of marketing techniques to a particu lar product, product line, or brand.The aim of personal branding and brand management is to make your name synonymous with a particular phrase. They even use Social Media to take their branding to next level.For a porn star like Jenna Jameson (hmm.. :|) or some other intercourse star that is effortless.Want to Enhance your brand? Give something to remember you by!Well, Pornstars can give, you cant. To get your credit card details, they may flash their assets through some odd short video clips or as an image. Well, it is somewhat similar to the loss leader trick (old trick!).The loss leader strategy is more than just a nifty business trick it is a successful strategy if executed properly.A classic example is that of razor blades. Companies like Gillette mostly give their razor units away for free, knowing that customers will have to buy their replacement blades, which is where the company makes all of its profit. (Definition via Investopedia)Here Im going to consider SEO Book and SE O Egghead as the two examples in the SEO (Search Engine Optimization) SEM (Search Engine Marketing) business world.They both give away tons of knowledge, insights and tricks of their trade daily.By this, they are building a brand and also, at the same time managing that brand even further by way of driving the visitor towards their books, which reinforces their authority.11. Credit Card Tactics: Enable Buying DecisionInternet Marketers and Bloggers still use this trick to grab customers attention. Moreover, it also makes easier for consumers to make a buying decision.Consider this incident for example (of course, for instance only, ahem!)You are visiting a porn website, and you are attracted towards a short ( sexy) clip of your favourite porn actress (hmm, why not Brianna Banks?). Now obviously you are interested in seeing the full clip, but before you can view the entire clip, you need to cross one quick step.Now you are asked for your credit card details (and you gave it, damn) s ince there are several reasons for asking them. Maybe they wanted to verify that you are above 18 years old, or they are giving $1 trial offer for the first few days of access. Now you are viewing the full-length video. Bingo!But the fact is, after one month you will get your credit card bill, and your soul wont know the charges (yet). Now that will be great for the porn sites and dangerous for unsuspecting consumers.How you can implement this?If you are selling your WordPress theme or eBook, you can implement the same concept with some different things.Reveal before itself that if they don’t cancel in a few days their card will be billed.Create a Great Product. Make products that make people happy. Also after the sale, do what you can to take care of your customer.Offer refunds quickly. If they are not interested in your product, then offer refunds. Instead of fighting with them, you can get two new customers at that time.12. Fusion Marketing: Just Adapt and AdjustIll start with an example of this one, you are downloading your favourite song from Rapidshare, and unfortunately, the downloaded file is a small porn clip with a URL to visit the main site. It is just a matter of preference, whether people will see it or not. I recommend not to try this one with dark intention. Ill tell you how to adapt and adjust.Using Fusion Marketing, you still give people what they are asking for, thats the highlight. We are talking about legitimate Fusion Marketing, not porn oriented.A Fusion Marketer will give you what you want and also at the same time ride along with his marketing message, i.e., the advertisement.Example (Real World) : Seeing movies advertised on the cups of soft drinks served at KFC. Yep, we call that as Fusion Marketing.Porn Marketers use Fusion Marketing in a wrong way, in other words, they use Bait-and-switch method. This irritates the customers a lot. Bait-and-switch is a form of fraud, most commonly used in retail sales but also applicable to other contexts. First, customers are baited by advertising for a product or service at a low price; second, the customers discover that the advertised good is not available and are switched to a costlier product.13. Thumbnail Gallery Post (TGP) Tactics ExplainedA thumbnail gallery post (TGP) is a common type of ad-driven website that provides links to free Internet pornography. TGPs employ a variety of schemes to trade traffic with other TGPs; signing up for these trades is usually easy and free for other TGP owners. Perhaps the most fundamental business is to link to other TGP sites.TGP is a huge representation of small pictures, by clicking it you will get a larger picture or movie later.But actually, you have little chance (say 30%) of getting a video/picture and a 70% chance of getting shot over to another TGP either owned by the same person or made in a traffic exchange program.What is the advantage of this?Simple, they allow the users to target their content. In pornography, the con tent is great, people can be looking for different results. Within a TGP, the user clicks on an image and that takes him to another gallery (with same gorgeous ladies pics).This process may continue for some time and during that duration, the user can be taken to more and more targeted sites and advertising based on his or her choices.Reality Example: TGP tactic can be compared with rigorous categorization.Consider an online store for instance, they dont have a electronics section, so they make the user to go through every gadget they have. The path goes similar to this one :Electronics -> Computers -> Hard Drives -> SanDisk -> 1TBSo why did they broke their categories into several subcategories? Suppose if you own an online electronics store and your customers are looking at hard drives, and then probably you know that showing them the parallel cables or external cases is probably a good option, much similar to the suggestion options in retail stores.They are allowing the user to f ind everything more easily and at the same time, they know what ads to show them too.14. Unique Design: Stays on the Visitors mind foreverOut of the 20 porn sites, I visited, almost each and every site has a unique design and stays on my mind. Users can quickly figure out the sites name by seeing the layout. Talking about the logo, it is too perfect, never thought branding would be so popular in Porn World.Most of the porn sites have an excellent and unique design; it stays in the visitors mind forever. They even used their logo in some of the videos, kind of watermarked at the bottom.Some Resources You Can Check: Why Use A WordPress Theme Framework For Your Blog?Choosing A Top Grade Theme For Your Blog25+ Free Awesome Thesis Skins That Dont Suck5 Simple Steps To An Original Blog Design15. Using Porn 2.0 to Discount the Saturated MarketSaturated Market is used to describe a situation in which a product has become distributed within a market. Before the bloggers and internet marketer s, the porn industry realized that relying entirely on Google was a bad idea, so they moved on to other sectors.Almost 50% of the porn sites are now YouTube styled, and they dont need any ranking to survive, they just need lots of traffic, traffic and traffic. I checked out a video that has 4 million views. ?? So they not only allowed services like Google Images/Yahoo Video to access their content, but they expanded their target.YouTube powers almost every video tutorial on the web, but that doesnt mean YouTube is the only video-sharing site. Try to reach the maximum level of promotion (not talking about spam here).Next time, if you are going to create a YouTube video, also consider Yahoo! video and Dailymotion. Even though their rating is low compared to YouTube, these will bring you additional traffic.16. Learn How To Profit In An Environment Where Piracy Is RampantPorn Industry is the only industry that profits in an environment where piracy is violent and furious. Despite this c opyright infringement, they have filed no lawsuits over it. Interestingly they even tolerated file sharing and also encouraged them by distributing free samples.This is quite opposite to the Music and Movie industries that have filed thousands of lawsuits against both file-sharing companies and individual sharers.How They Profit Even Under Such Circumstances? Here are the two things Porn Industry does to get the advantage. These are simple enough to implement in other sectors.Provide Watermarked Content: Good one! Even if your content is copied and pirated, they are indirectly helping you to advertise your brand. Just watermark your content (videos, images, etc.) with your brands logo.Update With New Content: Porn sites mostly update either weekly or monthly with new content and when the old content hits the file sharing networks it will be already out of date. If people enjoy the content they download for free and also wish to keep it up to date, and then they will pay the monthly fee.Well, once again, let me remove the things, I wrote this article because porn can still be used as a bad example and we can indeed learn from it, which you witnessed above. So adjust and adapt. Thanks.
