I would suggest you to use Google Analytics to track the traffic on your website. It is hard to say how much traffic you need to generate sales from your new site.

Generally, the smaller the niche, the easier it will be to convert your visitors also the better traffic source you have, the easier it is to get many sales. So if you get a lot of organic traffic from the Google, you will make more sales and a way more money than if your main traffic source would be a social media.

If the search engine sites are your main traffic source, you can expect to get a one sale for every 300 visitors that click on your affiliate link but keep in mind that every porn surfer is different and every site is different so that is why it is so hard to tell you an exact number.

Test different promotional tools, use different banners and also use different calls to action.

I think it’s important to make the distinction between several different things.

The example given is obviously not a good one, we all agree on that.
That kind of post is only going to harm everyone involved. Some seem to think that it’s only the one being linked to who might suffer a penalty, but both can be penalised for a spammy post like that.

Links in sidebars are also a no-no these days. Unless it’s a part of your circle of sites and they’re connected clearly and thoroughly.
If you run a business with three different sites that are all connected in some way there are probably signals to show this (such as regular linking patterns joining them, business addresses, domain registration details etc) but if you’re just listing a group of random sites in the sidebar without much evidence to show they’re related to you for valid reasons then you’re likely only harming them and yourself.

The only way to really offer anyone a link of worth these days is to include them in a natural, comprehensive post of relevant content. It doesn’t matter too much if money changes hands, there is no way for Google to know if you’ve come to an agreement. And, really, it’s none of their business anyway.

It’s entirely reasonable for someone to buy a link but this should only be done when it makes sense, surrounded by good, relevant content and in a post or page that actually offers the reader something.

Links are still vital for SEO, but they need to be good quality.

Ideally, if you’re buying any links, you want them from a reputable site willing to write a detailed and relevant post. It’s even better if they link out to other sources too, such as news sites or wiki’s. You should only seek to be linked out to in a paragraph surrounded by relevant words, unless you are the sole focus of the piece.

That’s my opinion on it. Without knowing what Google does and thinks behind closed doors we’re all forced to come to our own conclusions.

I presume they all have a different domain name. If so..

Do not worry about different IPs etc. Majority of websites are on shared hosting with the same IPs so it is quite a natural thing. Plus there is no real or measurable benefit of trying to hide that they have the same owner. Besides, you probably use the same analytics account for them all, or same details elsewhere..

However, if you run a non-porn site and porn sites, then yes you might want to be on the safe side and use different IPs for the two types. But not for SEO reasons.

No, I think you should send it to everyone. It will show the non-paying members that you are a good site owner and you care. It may make them think about joining because they now know they are not going to be jerked around.

You might also include a special offer for the non-payers that if they join in the next three days, they will also get a second month free. I would put a 3 or 5 day expiry on it, it increases the “urgency” to join.

OK, I may contact you soon when I find some free time.
