System Update: Today’s To-Do List for a Changing Market
Have a list. Check it twice. No, this isn’t a discussion about holiday songs or traditions. Rather, it is an examination about the importance of keeping up with the market and how the addition (or absence) of some commonly used e-commerce features can impact everything from consumer trust and acceptance to increased sales for your business. There are several items you need in order to optimally operate and analyze your business while continually driving results, and more are coming out all the time as both the markets and consumers keep evolving. Sure, it can be tricky to keep up with all of the updates and changes, especially since the first priority is actually running your business! Without a mental checklist of sorts, you never know what your business may be missing out on or which ecommerce features can help push results.

A Look at the Evolution of the Mobile Adult Internet
As we approach a decade of (usable) mobile Internet access, it is worthwhile to explore the history of this dynamic adult entertainment market segment, as well as its current and future profit potential.

I know that some of my mobile mates are already getting jaded with hearing me go on about augmented reality and its potential to create the same commercial impact for adult entertainment as the World Wide Web did back in the days.

Dev Depot: Make Better Decisions With A/B Testing
When it comes to optimizing your adult website’s user experience, traffic and revenue streams, nothing can take the place of formalized testing: comparing one specific approach to another by splitting visitors between two variations of a particular element; such as images, design features or call to action, in order to determine which is the most profitable. It is not something that a webmaster can effectively do manually, however, due in part to issues such as fluctuations in traffic sources, which will prevent a “try this one day, try that another day” approach from obtaining reliable results.
Adult Site Faux Pas: A Look at Common Paysite Mistakes
Looking at paysites I’m surprised that a lot of them are still operational and that they’re selling at all. It has nothing to do with the economy or the tubes or piracy.
