I’ve always liked that word. If I were to collect all my Cozy articles and instruct a find & replace tool to look for it, my guess is there would be a plethora of instances when I’ve used the word plethora.

Plethora. It sounds like an ornate, exotic bird, whose shimmering feathers were envied by the gods. It means an overabundance. An excess of excess. Not just many but too many.
Today’s adult sponsors furnish a plethora of promotional content to affiliates. I know some sponsors that offer so much free stuff that I’ll likely die of old age before I run out of it. I could fill a hundred mini free sites with sponsor content and that’s a good thing.
Used to be that the amount of content sponsors proffered to webmasters was the opposite of a plethora.
I remember when hosted galleries were non-existent and affiliates were forced to host full-size sponsor pics on individual HTML pages. These days, you’d be hard-pressed to find a sponsor that doesn’t have webmaster content. I’m completely in favor of using the hell out of your sponsor’s content. That’s what it’s for.
However, while sponsor content is overabundant, there are drawbacks to using it. The main one being that it’s sponsor content.
While it’s true that most sponsor content is a million times better than the stuff from 2001, it still has its limitations. TGPs, MGPs and adult directories will have nothing to do with you if you submit a page or site filled with sponsor content. If your goal is to grow a following, you’ll have to take some pretty elaborate steps to keep your regular visitors from figuring out your ruse. Porn surfers will accept a certain amount of advertising in order to view the free samples but when everything looks and reads as if it were a commercial, visitors leave. Your audience wants a little originality and as awesome as sponsor content is, there’s a hundred to a thousand other webmasters displaying the very same images and video clips as you.
There is a solution to the dilemma of sponsor content and that solution is PAID CONTENT.

Ah, don’t be frightened. Pay content should never be scary. Whatever your niche, whatever your financial situation, you will find a PLETHORA of content to use on your free site, your thumbnail gallery or adult blog. Straight. Gay. Hardcore. Softcore. Solo.

When you use paid content on your site, you are freed from the bonds of your sponsor. It’s not that sponsor content rules are crazy oppressive, it’s just that if you’re going to shell out good money for your own domain and your own hosting you should have to choice to post whatever the heck you want on your own darned site. You deserve to garner regular surfers instead of one-time, freeloaders.
Pay content allows you the ability to offer a unique voice in the adult Internet. Pay content sets your domain above feeder sites and glorified tour pages. Not to mention that paid content is an absolute necessity for those of you that choose to build galleries and mini sites for TGPs, MGPs and adult directories.
The variety of pay content makes for unlimited ways you can use it to your advantage. You can buy bulk galleries and clips for almost no money or you can spend medium dollars on perfectly wonderful sets that are pic-of-the-day worthy. You can make your humble free site look pretty pimpin’ with just a few well-placed pay images. You can update for weeks off just one value-priced pic set.
Content providers are just waiting for you to come over and browse their stores. Some specialize in certain niches. Others are kitchen-sink warehouses of porn. Whichever provider your choose, they should include proper 2257 documentation with your purchase/license. Some want you to register in order to browse, others host and open door. You’ll find providers that sell tons of pics for literal pennies. You’ll find others who would be more than happy to create exclusive content for top dollar.

There is a plethora of sponsor content and that is good. There is a plethora of pay content and that is better.
