What’s the Best Way to Drive Traffic to a Porn Site?
Like any webpage, pornography websites are indexed by search engines like Google.com. Porn and adult websites use search engine optimization to rank higher than competing content platforms.
An SEO strategy specific to adult industry content doesn’t have to be complicated. Despite what some in the industry say, search engine optimization is a universal process in several industries. The only difference across these industries is the keywords, the search volumes, and the behaviors of users. In this blog post, Adult Site Broker discusses some of the best strategies to drive new web traffic to a porn tube or adult content site you own. It’s not as complicated as you would think.
SEO is just one way to drive web traffic to your porn site. Also, this blog post touches upon social media marketing, paid advertising, and software that supports your efforts to drive web traffic.
Search Engine Optimization
To begin, you do need to understand some basics. In general, search engine optimization (SEO) is the practice of optimizing a website or web page to rank higher in the search engine results pages (SERPs). The goal of SEO is to increase visibility and drive organic and paid traffic to a website from a search engine based on a set of strategies and fundamental principles that can be applied to websites of all kinds. Search engine optimization, as a practice, is agnostic to web content or the industry this content covers. SEO practices can be applied to short- and long-form text, images, and videos.
The higher the website ranks in SERPs, the more likely a user will click on the link. This serves as a traffic delivery medium, especially when a large chunk of adult website web traffic comes from the likes of Google and other search engines. Being that Google is by far the world’s largest and most visited search engine, SEO professionals (regardless of industry) rely on Google’s search engine optimization and SERP guidelines for websites as an intersectoral standard for any web presence.
The Basics of SEO Applied to Adult Websites
This section will discuss some of the basics of SEO applied to adult websites. Six basic search engine optimization strategies can be implemented for web traffic.
- The first strategy is keyword research. Keywords are the foundation of an SEO campaign. Most web searchers use specific terms and keyphrases to find what they’re looking for. Once identified, they need to be integrated into website content in a user-friendly way. Keyword research is done through SEO software like SEM Rush or Moz. Keyword research is typically done through SEO software.
- The second strategy is to engage in on-page optimization. Adult sites can be optimized through a variety of on-page optimization strategies. This includes meta tags, headings, and optimized content. This content optimization would consist of using alt-text (e.g., a nude photo of a porn star featured on your membership website) on web images and videos (e.g., a content creator’s sex clip uploaded to a tube site) through SEO keywords in titles, etc.
- The third strategy is to develop a content creation pipeline. For instance, Pornhub has a strong SEO strategy surrounding its insights blog. They create a variety of written and visual content relevant to their target audiences, base this content on the SEO terms that are popular with their target audiences, and work to provide some value to the audience.
- The link-building strategy is the fourth. Link building is a means to link from other sites with similar content to your site to demonstrate domain authority and relevance in the search engine results pages. Adult websites can build links through advertisements, sponsored posts, directory listings, removing broken links, and social media. This is a no-brainer for some tube sites that have creator programs. The creator programs allow their creators to generate referral links to drive traffic from vanilla and niche social media websites.
- Mobile optimization is the fifth strategy. This is also a no-brainer. In our modern world, the vast majority of web traffic to porn websites comes from mobile phones and tablets.
- The sixth strategy is technical optimization. This includes fixing broken links, improving site speed, and addressing technical issues affecting a search engine ranking on Google.com.
Other Traffic Solutions
There are other means to drive traffic to your porn site. The information we shared with you on SEO is about driving organic traffic. Sometimes, you can juice the volume of traffic by paying for it.
Google Ads (with a caveat)
Google Ads is a paid advertising solution that doesn’t necessarily have the same results as SEO and the organic traffic it brings in. Google Ads can display your adult site’s ads to potential users and membership site customers (for example) as the same users search your specific keywords. But, Google Ads is challenging to build traffic on. Google’s policy is to suspend any Google Ads account upon detection and without prior warning for violating its inappropriate content policy. However, some adult entertainment sites have been successful. These websites include niche dating platforms, among others. Adult Site Broker uses Google Ads for traffic.
Adult Web Traffic Platforms
The best solution for paid marketing of adult websites is to deploy solutions like traffic providers and adult ad networks. Advertising networks specializing in adult entertainment connect website owners and advertisers. Traffic Junky is one of the best adult advertising networks specializing in various geographical jurisdictions for thousands of websites. This is standard practice in adult entertainment to advertise cam sites, tube sites, membership sites, and niche dating sites on other adult sites that regularly bring in millions of daily users through organic search engine results.
Affiliates
Affiliate marketing also drives traffic to adult websites. Adult Site Broker has written a lot on affiliate marketing and even engages in it through our ASB Cash program. A porn affiliate program is a marketing program where you earn money to promote a company. It is generally accepted that the best porn affiliate programs work by helping companies to market their content and products online in exchange for a portion of the sales from your referrals, or a flat price for a click or for a sale. There’s an inadvertent benefit of affiliate traffic, backlinking, and a variety of other benefits that come from similar web traffic strategies.
