In the field of internet marketing — especially adult affiliate marketing — traffic and sales have a direct relationship. More traffic proportionately equals out to more sales. That’s just the rule of the game, and those who follow it sweep up the bucks.

I recently discovered a blog called Woody Maxim, who is now a reformed adult webmaster sharing his secrets to the non-adult internet marketing world. Woody had a good reason to quit the adult industry; it always gives me a pang of guilt when I think about my profession, and where can I discuss my work in public without some sort of shock showing from a listener? “Yes, mom, I make my living off of videotaping girls sticking things into their nasties.” Along the same line of thought, Woody wanted to clear his conscience in front of his daughter who would ask him about his work.

Anyway, Woody shares some useful points with the non-adult internet marketers. Take for example his recent post titled “Trading Traffic.” In adult affiliate marketing, we flip traffic using trade scripts as standard practice.

During the last time you were browsing a TGP or MGP (last night?), have you noticed that every once in a while a thumb takes you to an unexpected website? You clicked on a hot brunette chick slipping off her bra, but now you’re at a different portal called “Hot Dripping Bunnies.”

Usually this redirect is detectable with a mouseover to see where the target url is going, but avascript or some other programming trick is often used to disguise the links. So the unsuspecting user will be taken to a different TGP with even more pics and more ads. This is the exchange of traffic taking place right under your noses.
