Top 50 Solo Girl sites of All Time

[softball]

I have been thinking about this and am not quite sure what successful means. A lot of sites were there at "the beginning" and did a good business, in fact made a lot of folks rich. However, there is a whole level of sites who are journeyman websites that tick over quite profitably and fly beneath the mainstream porn radar. They are still around and doing very well. They have never been marketed on GFY so are not well known in straight porn. My inclination is that they are very successful and keep a whole lot of suppliers in business with everything from bandwidth to billing. One of my favs is Sonia Dane who has been around just a tad longer than I have but I think does well.

Yeah, you're dead on here. Most dont have affiliate programs, dont need 'em, or if they do it's just a simple ccbill canned revshare solution.

The names that immediately came to mind were Raven Riley, Tawnee Stone, Jordan Capri... combination of quality, hype, marketing, staying power, and without doubt, revenue.

50 is too many, it'll get murky after 10-20.

Danni

Carol Cox

Jennicam

Asia Carrera -- pornstar, but it runs like a solo girl or amateur site, it's all her

Cbaby at Wetlands

Tawnee Stone

Jordan Capri -- not sure i'd list any beyond those two out of lightspeed's crew in a top 10-20 list, those are the ones that really have name recognition with the casual adult surfer

Jen 'n Dave

Wifey

Janey -- i agree, throw her in there as an early MILF and also one of the first to show how they can do more than just be content in the business

Raven Riley -- strong name recognition now

Peachez -- probably most profitable career of those who started out with "non-nude" while under age. Everytime she plateaus, she'll show and do a little more

Melissa Midwest -- She walks a slippery slope, but she gets her name out there everytime the tangles with the cops.

Mandy Blake -- A nod to one of our own here. I cant think of a larger BBW site. Best of niche for sure.

Squirting Carly -- Again a nod to one of our own, same reason. She's the real deal and best of niche.

In '98 and '99 - the two top traffic sites were Asaa Carrera & Carol Cox. Don't think anyone else even came close. Both are still up today, but have no idea of the traffic.

Depends on what you mean by top 50? What criteria? Most popular? Most hits? top gross/sales? top net $$?

Funny how history is a matter of perspective.

Lucky for me, I have learned to let my brain overcome my vanity.

Another way to gauge it is how many nuts have been busted over it.

"over 12,000,000 nuts busted"...

Is that raw nuts or unique nuts?

Popularity / Income.

This is just a thread for discusssion. Im always curious about everyones perception.

Which one was your biggest girl?

[squirtingcarly]

Thanks Hell Puppy I think we do ok. I remember Buddah checking out Naughty Alysha way before we ever thought of having a site.

It would be virtually impossible to rank sales....traffic is almost as tough when talking about those no longer around or not pushed as hard. Rhetorical had a good point earlier that some of those who made damned good money most of us are not that familiar with as they didn't hang out on the boards, go to shows, etc. They just quietly shoot pics and do their webcam shows and rake in $10-20 monthly memberships that retain forever. Hell, I've had some of those myself.

Hmmm....so where do the "AI Girls" fit into all of this?

That's an interesting question. They arguably created the solo girl niche. But I cant really think of one super star girl out of the bunch. I'm sure all/most made huge bank back in the day. But I dont think any single girl over there had the name recognition of the others we've rattled off so far. I think in that case, AI was the brand not so much the girls themselves. Good plan actually, by the hub being the real franchise, the girls are very interchangeable and you can spin up a new one fast.

Exactly, we have been flying under the radar now for 8 years, and have had a very comfortable living, basically exactly what we have wanted.
