Pornography - Where the real money is?

May 13, 2007 | Comments (6) | Filed under: Marketing

I came across this video last Wednesday from Digg, and I thought it was an amazing little bit of link bait. It basically goes through a bunch of statistics on the web based porn industry in a very provocative manner :). It’s a non-pornographic video, but it might be border line non-work safe…

Anyway, with statistics presented such as:

  1. $2.84 billion in revenue was generated from U.S. porn sites in 2006
  2. $89 per second is spent on porn
  3. 260 new porn sites go online everyday

It’s hard to deny the money making potential. I’m not advocating anyone jump into the pornographic website game, I’m certainly not in it myself, but it is truly a profitable avenue for anyone who is up to it. You might just have to make up another job to tell your family what you do :)

It is sad to know that porn has this spectacular numbers, I am thinking about to start working on it :)
Good Video anyway!

Well, when MXN bought porn.com domain name for 9 million, it shows how much money they’re expecting from the field.

Yeah, I am actually surprised they got it for just 9 million. Seems small in the scheme of things. I read that the porn.com domain alone gets hundreds of thousands of unique visitors a month from direct type in alone. That is absolutely amazing, its like built in traffic.
