Hello, my name is........

I've seen several ladies over the years on SC I would have loved to had the opportunity to promote.

I hear ya, have thought the same myself on more than a few occasssions, but SC just doesn't lend itself to the affiliate model.

1) By the time SC takes their cut, 50% I think but that may be wrong, there's not enough left to split with an affiliate.
2) They have no recurring memberships, unless that has changed recently. A revshare program without recurring is a pretty tough sell to affiliates.

Now here's a question for both of you....

Would there be any benefit to YOU as a TGP site owner to have galleries from a SC girl that would fit into your niche? I know it's all about making the $, but I've often wondered if a link exchange from a top model at SC would be worth it for a TGP site owner (with the huge amount of traffic we get). Just to have more content for the TGP?

Just curious, as I am not that experienced in that area...

I'd love list your TGP galleries if you were to submit them to my TGPs. About half of the galleries I list with each update are submitted by others, the rest are sponsor hosted galleries and galleries I've built promoting various sponsors. Several of my regular submitters are independent amateurs, like yourself.

I do have a few link trades with some SC sites. To be honest the amount of traffic I receive from their banner farm link pages is minimal.

My advice to you would be to break off a seperate site and befriend a couple of guys like Toby and Blue Money to start promoting your program. These guys understand your surfer and appreciate your content.

I don't know the Blue money guy, But I can vouch for Toby. And if Gonzo says Blue money is Ok, you can take that to the bank.

MadMonk and Mandy - I would make http://smokingmandy.com/ it's own pay site and nix SC.

I think your content is good enough to stand on it's own especially if you can do live cam shows with smoking. I get a TON of requests for that, but am unable to fulfill them right now.

I could do some very good promotion for you, especially when you get an affiliate program.

I rank #1 in Google for the terms 'cigar fetish' and 'cigar smoking fetish' with my pay site, http://www.cigarglamour.com/

I am #5 for 'smoking glamour gallery', #11 for 'smoking fetish stories', and a crappy #24 for 'cigar smoking women' on Google.

#3 for 'cigar smoking women' on Yahoo, #6 for 'sexy smoking' and #7 for 'women smoking cigars'.

I am #1 for 'cigar babe' and 'cigar babes' in Google with my other site, http://www.cigar-review.com/

I can help you get your pay site started and offer services for design, development, traffic, SEO, and general consulting if needed ... and if not, I will still promote your site when you have your own.

Nice photos arent they?

I keep forgetting that you do all that smoking stuff. That niche has never been too crowded. I only recall a handful of guys ever working it aggresivly.
