I’ve been slowly trying to break into mainstream websites lately; first with Gamer Hero, the website that I run with my boyfriend - it’s basically an outlet for him to talk about anything and everything related to (obviously) gaming. The second mainstream website I launched was Posh Vice, a shopping website dedicated more to unique finds, sort of up the vein of Daily Candy and Outblush. I’ve had these two websites up for about a month each, and while they each get the occasional spike in traffic due to social linking sites, for the most part they’ve not yet been very successful. I realized, perhaps too late, that I don’t really know any way to get traffic to a mainstream site other than search engine. With adult it’s easy - there are hundreds of link dumps and babelogs where you can submit your galleries. With mainstream… I don’t know yet. I don’t really have any contacts or “mentors” like I did when getting started in adult, either. I’m just sort of haphazardly diving in!
I launched my third mainstream website today, the spinoff Posh Freebies. The name is rather self-explanatory; it’s dedicated to freebies, coupons, free trials, and other such deals that can be found online. I have high hopes for this one, as the affiliate program that I’m using is really good and very promising. I’m hoping that I can build up some good link trades & word of mouth. Wish me luck.
