Perhaps you've heard. Love is in the air.
In America, the credit card-bearing masses have begun to feel true need for human companionship. The collective consciences became aware of life's fragility this last September. They gained the insight usually reserved for individuals who've faced the death of loved ones.
As far as shocking, inexplicable violence is concerned, America was free of that kind from outside forces. Our inner violence was prevalent, but no where near as prevalent as it is in other countries. The last time America had to face anything resembling the events of last September was World War 2. The result of those times is a generation we refer to as boomers because their parents added greatly to the American population.
Sex is hot, but love is hotter.
Despite the tabloid horror stories, countless citizens of this world have met, courted and married as a result of Internet communication. People do meet each other and they do hook up and sometimes, it works out well. Matchmaking is a very old practice. Taking a fee to introduce people to each other translates perfectly to the Internet.

"Adult Internet entertainment is one degree away from Online Matchmaking. You can sell smut. Of course you can sell love." |
But we sell porn dammit! Yeah, we do. I also believe we supply a lot of lonely people a little warmth and life. I know porn has kept me from jumping into bed with Mr. Anybody. Mr. Anybody used to be fun in the pre-AIDS days. Mr. Anybody was my man back in the day, but he no longer interests me.
Adult Internet entertainment is one degree away from Online Matchmaking. You can sell smut. Of course you can sell love. You are in a great position as an adult webmaster or site owner to gather the traffic and market your banners. You know how to get the visitors to your site; all you have to do is make them click.
Matchmaking/Dating sponsors usually have you promote a free membership to your surfers. The basic membership is free for your surfer and there's no hidden fee. Your surfer can then browse the site.
Matchmaking sites are usually databases of member profiles. Some personal questionnaires for these members are painstakingly detailed. The surfer can scan the profiles but must pay to make actual contact with a member. That cost is most times packaged as a premium-type membership. The sell is subtle because real people populate these sites.
I've joined with some of these sites in the past myself. Mostly because I was working for or with the company that owned them. I've received bunches of emails from my member profiles. I know I get the response because I am a girl. I also know men spend money to email women they see on the net.

Try flying the banner to an online dating service on your porn site. You could even build a non-adult site that has a love and dating theme. You could then put links to it on your hardcore site with any legal text you want. You then put them in a virtual space that is totally concentrated on companionship. You can market the free membership. You could build a site for women. Dating sponsors have been known to payout higher commissions for new female members.
There are some good adult-friendly dating sponsors that pay you to bring them premium members. Some pay per click and some even pay recurring. Not all are adult friendly and you should always read the Terms of Service of any affiliate sponsor's program. Three that have proven to be reputable are:
Match.Com
(http://affiliates.match.com)
While this is a non-adult affiliate, they deserve mention because they are the pioneers of online dating. While they will accept no links TO pornography, that doesn't mean they won't accept links FROM pornography!
Adult Friend Finder
(http://www.adultfriendfinder.com)
These guys
have a cornucopia of programs to promote. The have adult personals, non-adult, gay, senior citizens, you name it. They pay more for new female memberships sold and have a great click thru program.
Date.Com
(http://www.date.com/affiliates.html)
Adult friendly with a
$25.00 premium membership these guys have a nice, clean site.
In these times of fear, it's nice to know that people still want contact. I'd rather sell love than fear any day.
