There's little time for sentimentality in the adult Internet business. We're all too busy making site after site, page after page, gallery after gallery. The solid truth is that the average newbie will have to make a buttload of websites in order to make any money. You'll build hubs and create tiny little spoke sites to those hubs. You'll make hundreds of galleries for TGPs and MPGs and you'll have to create a centralized domain in order to host them and pass TGP review. You might get into the AVS game and upload a mess of three-page sites designed to sell access to porn. Yes. You will build many many sites and as you do, you will become less emotionally attached to your creations.

We all know the glowing feeling of pride felt when we upload our very first adult sites. On the other hand, veteran webmasters cringe when remembering just how crappy those original sites were. This is a profession where you learn as you go. Absolutely no one starts out as an expert in Internet porn.

"Despite your neglect, those pages still get traffic. They still have the potential to bring in new surfers and welcome repeat surfers. Those old pages are like fruit on the vine just waiting to be JUICED."

When you ask for a critique on your very first porn site, and you receive negative feedback, you don't just quit the biz and give up the dream, do you? No. You trudge ahead. You take the suggestions given and you try again. This is the natural progression where you begin to stop thinking of your websites as children and start thinking of them as marketing platforms. You move on. You get better. Sites are built. submitted and forgotten.

You keep your older pages online but when did you last go back for a visit? When have you taken the time to review your growth as a webmaster? Remember those crazy, web-changing ideas you had in the beginning? Were the ideas crazy or was it possible you simply didn't know how to articulate your vision? What about now? Are you ready to realize your extraordinary idea or have you become too cautious when it comes to risk? Have you finally discovered a formula for success and now build all your sites according to that formula? Are you getting bored with the same old design and sponsors? Have your sales started to level off? Are you in a rut? Would you like to try something new but aren't really up for a from-scratch effort? Then you're in luck. Your old sites are calling. They want some JUICE.

Your existing sites are your assets. They are part of your net worth. They also represent your past expenditures. Each page is evidence of time and money invested. If your individual websites were real life venues, you would be monitoring them and maintaining them regularly. You would be dealing in a world where repeat business is vital to long term success and therefore, so is continuous oversight.

The sacrifice isn't as urgent on the web. The adult webmaster is told to "build them and forget them". We are encouraged to create new site after new site, new page after new page. The fact remains that your old sites, your forgotten pages, have continuous value. Your little two-page, three-gallery site made a bunch of money when it was first listed on that high traffic TOP LIST. How long after did you forget it? How many sites have you built since then? How many 'forgotten' pages have you amassed over the years that you've been doing this? Despite your neglect, those pages still get traffic. They still have the potential to bring in new surfers and welcome repeat surfers. Those old pages are like fruit on the vine just waiting to be JUICED.

If you have indeed, perfected your own magic formula for making money with a porn site, chances are there are old pages that you built, still online, that were created in your pre-fabulous period. What's the harm in snazzing up an old logo or tightening up a tired layout?

Maybe you've got an aged page that looks fine but the sponsor banners could use an update. Perhaps you made a site with a relatively generic theme where you could simply switch out used-up content for fresh images. However you do it, do it. We're not talking about reinvention here. We're talking about improvement. If your old page is still raking in the dollars then don't change a thing. If it isn't, then inject it with some JUICE.

That goes for old TGP and MGP galleries too. If you don't know this already, never ever change a gallery page once it's been listed. TGP and MGP site owners tend to host your links infinitely within archives of back-dated listings. If you alter an existing gallery, expect to be blacklisted. So, remember, when it comes to galleries, NO JUICE.

Giving fresh JUICE to an old site isn't sentimentality. It's good business. Why spend money on new content and new domains when you already own sites that could use a little love? Make all the new pages you want, just don't forget ones you already possess. Take the time to nurture your whole orchard. Take the time to give your old sites some JUICE.
