Making the Old Seem New Again

Ever have one of those days where you just have no idea what to do? Have you done everything that you can think of, and yet you just keep muddling through the same old thing time and again?

Worry not, o weary webmaster. There are many ways of making even the most glum and boring of tasks seem brand new.

If you have a website that isn’t doing as well as it used to, check it out and compare it to something that is doing better. What are the differences that you can find?

Aside from the blatantly obvious, i.e. different niche, are there design differences? Color scheme seem a bit too bland or a bit too over the top? What about the galleries and other content? How long has it been since the last update?

Surfers need to see a bit of freshness on their chosen sites. They pay for excellence in content. If they wanted to see free stuff, they’d go TGP hunting for all the galleries that never change. No one wants to see stale stuff in the member’s area of a website.

Give your site a complete makeover. Update the galleries with fresh girls, but be sure to archive the older galleries for those folks who just have to have their fix of a certain girl. If you don’t have any stories or blogs or other text work of that nature, you might consider putting some in. Believe it or not, stories really do sell well.

Try a different color scheme. Even this small change can mean big bucks. Much like food, a website has to be attractive and appetizing to the customer. Make your surfers want to whip out their wallets. Remember, clashing colors is never a good idea. If you aren’t sure if your color scheme is a good one, ask someone’s opinion.

Take the time to check your meta tags thoroughly. Keep them relevant to the site, with the most obvious keywords being those found in your domain name. Make sure your domain is relevant to what you offer on your site. If it isn’t, there’s a good chance that you could be losing serious cash.

Have you bought any new content recently? Give that a try and give your members someone new to enjoy.

Would you buy a membership to your site? If not, why wouldn’t you? A good webmaster can identify the problems with his site by asking himself that very question. Ask a few other webmasters if they would consider it, then ask them why or why not. Very often, you will find that what you see as a problem is also what they would see as a problem.

Flash is good, but not on a gallery or a small free site. It takes too long to load on a 56k, (yes, there are a great many people who still have to use those. I know of some with 48.8 connections!), and can be too much to wait for, especially if the surfer is horny. Ignore it altogether until the member’s area, and then only offer it as interactive games or short cartoons.

If you think your site is perfect, consider adding a blog. Because of the frequent updates, search engines spider it on an almost daily basis, which will bring your site closer to the top listings. Remember, most people only look through the first two pages of listings. Get your site noticed!

There is no such thing as being “finished” with a site if you want it to make you money. Don’t fall prey to thinking that once you have it online, you’re done with it. Not so- you’ve only just begun.

Take care of yourselves! ~ Tala

How Adult Businesses Can Navigate Global Compliance Demands

The internet has made the world feel small. Case in point: Adult websites based in the U.S. are now getting letters from regulators demanding compliance with foreign laws, even if they don’t operate in those countries. Meanwhile, some U.S. website operators dealing with the patchwork of state-level age verification laws have considered incorporating offshore in the hopes of avoiding these new obligations — but even operators with no physical presence in the U.S. have been sued or threatened with claims for not following state AV laws.

Building Sustainable Revenue Without Opt-Out Cross-Sales

Over the past year, we’ve seen growing pushback from acquirers on merchants using opt-out cross-sales — also known as negative option offers. This has been especially noticeable in the U.S. In fact, one of our acquirers now declines new merchants during onboarding if an opt-out flow is detected. Existing merchants submitting new URLs with opt-out cross-sales are being asked to remove them.

How to Handle Payment Disputes Without Sacrificing Trust

You can run the best-managed and most compliant website out there, but that still doesn’t completely shield you from the risks tied to payment disputes. Buyer’s remorse, an unclear billing description or even a simple misunderstanding can lead a customer to dispute a transaction. Accumulate enough disputes, and both your reputation and revenue could be at risk.

From Compliance to Confidence: The Future of Safety in Adult Platforms

In numerous countries and U.S. states, laws now require platforms to prevent minors from accessing age-inappropriate material. But the need for safeguarding doesn’t end with age verification.

How to Switch Payment Processors Without Disrupting Business

For many merchants, the idea of switching payment processors can feel pretty overwhelming. That’s understandable. After all, downtime can stall sales, recurring subscriptions can suddenly fail, or compliance gaps can put accounts at risk. Operating in a high-risk sector like the adult industry can further amplify the stress of transition.
