Is it too late to start my own PPC program?

Is it too late to start a PPC program? If not, what features do you look for in a new sponsor?

Program for what?

 

[sknydave]

I had a few ideas of creating a PPC program for adult sites. I ran into a snag when I realized it would be a bit difficult for the script to crawl a page full of porn images when deciding what targeted ads to display. Maybe I'll create something like ypn with categorized ads

@skyndave

i thought ypn was contextual

good luck getting it to display anything related to whats on your page without using the targeting categories

Do you have bags of money laying around?

I don't use the targeting categories on YPN and my ads are all relative to my content.

You can do it on niche/subniche formats. Basically a targetted FHG gallery system.

You are in the minority

Cheap clicks and not too much click fraud

Do something creative that is useful to everyone that the current ones don't do and you'll be up there with google well until they copy it.

I always wondered why this didnt exist. But there is actually a program just like it. But you dont get charged money. I think a lot of porn sites run on link exchanges. The more you send in traffic, the higher you are on reciprocal sites. www.PureSexMovies.com runs off of this. As well as all other big sites like it.

It's a good idea, but think about how much fraud you will have to deal with. Adult webmasters are always at the pioneering forefront of internet marketing and technology, but holy shit, they are also some of the scammiest bastards alive.

Plus AdBrite already has an adult contextual ads system for almost 2 years I think. But hey, there's always room for one more!

Yeah.. I guess I could always give it a shot but indeed, fraud would be a total pain in my ass. I sure as hell won't survive a class-action lawsuit like Google and Yahoo!
