“Fleshbot is on the bleeding edge of Web 2.0,” Traffic Dude’s Scott Rabinowitz told XBIZ. “We are intending to find untapped opportunities beyond conventional Internet advertising. Fleshbot is a long-term web property that can only grow. It has the capacity to roll out new formats.”

Its portfolio of work includes campaigns for Sex.com, Porn.com, SexFiles.com, Naughty.com, PornoTube.com, ANYwebcam.com, AdultSpace.com and TLAVideo.com, among others.
