I've run thru the whole Mainstream category here. If you're hiding your mainstream sites because you get too many requests to link your mainstream sites to porn sites, feel free to PM me a list of your mainstream sites or niches you are looking to link up.
VRocks - is Tradespun still going? I saw the site was up but wasn't sure if anyone is active there anymore...
I'm sorry but IMO putting links in your sidebars to other mainstream sites and getting links from other mainstream sites from simple text links to your mainstream site hurts you more than helps you. In fact it's a trick some use to actually lower a site ranking.
The only links that will help a mainstream site from another site is links in content.
Tradespun => Trafficspun is still going. Problem is that most people in mainstream are afraid of letting others know what they do.
In adult you want your site to reach Alexa 1000 or less. You want someone to mention it on Howard Stern. You want it out there.
In mainstream most people don't want anyone to know about their site as a brand. They want only Google to know it exists and serve it up high in the SERPs. So mainstream wise there is very little activity since nobody wants anyone to know how they are making money. Here everyone is active all day long. They want people to know about their sites. They couldn't give a fuck if you try to copy their business plan.
Did I just do something for you? Consider making a donation to LinkSpun!
I am willing to trade a small number of tight relevant niche links, but really contextual links really are better.
Make Money in mainstream! I have been doing so since 1994 and can teach you about the huge differences between mainstream and adult. Mainstream marketing
