Lesson #01 Introduction To Free Sites

Free Site Description

A free adult site is one where surfers can access the site without paying. Because the site does not require a credit card number to enter, it is a good idea to have a warning disclaimer posted on the first page of a free adult site. A free site can offer images, stories, video clips or virtually anything that’s legal.

Advantages and Disadvantages of a Free Site

While a free site is great for those searching for porn on the internet, they may not as great for the adult webmaster. Because you will not be charging for access, any money you make off of your free page will have to come from either sponsors or from sign-ups to your own paysite.

If you do not have content (nasty pictures, stories or video) of your own to feature, you will either have to purchase it or settle for the minimal free content your sponsors provide. If you want your free site to have it's own domain name, you will have to pay for registering that name and also purchase webspace on a paid host's server.

In the old days of the adult web, many adult webmasters used free adult hosting. A free adult host would let you have your own server space but in trade, the free host would embed their own ads on all of your pages, residing on their servers. Originally, this wasn’t such a bad thing but free hosts kept making the embedded ads bigger and more intrusive. Some even got to the point where they would auto-download nasty dialers and spyware onto your surfer’s computers.

Nowadays, practically nobody likes a free-hosted page. Search engines won’t index them. TGP reviewers won’t list galleries on free hosts. Link lists won’t even bother with submitted sites on free hosting. Mind you that doesn’t mean you can’t use free adult hosting. There are several sponsors who offer free hosting for affiliates that promote their programs. However, it’s best to use these free hosting accounts to experiment and practice with the reality of hosting. Use free hosting but don’t expect to make a living from it.

The best way to make money is to register your own domain and buy your own hosting. Fortunately the cost of domain registration and web hosting is very affordable. Start out with a small, virtual account and if you need more space and more bandwidth, you can upgrade.

What Type of Free Site to Build

A free site can be anything you want it to be. If you have licensed content such as pictures, you might want your free site to resemble the homepage of a horny amateur or the collection of a porn connoisseur.

You could feature mainly video clips and market your site as a free sex cinema. If you decide to host a TGP or list site, you can save a lot of money because most of your content will be submitted to you by other webmasters. If you want to cater more to a female audience, you could layout your free site more like an e-zine or adult web portal.

The important thing to remember about a free adult site is if you want to make money from it, you have to convince your surfers into buying memberships from your sponsor. Giving free porn is a way to get a surfer to your free site. Give away too much and your visitors will blow their wad on your page instead of spending it at your sponsor's.
