I still have them but they have been removed from the IntenseCash program so we could concentrate on gay sites. The straight sites were just way too many niches to deal with. There is about 35 sites.

Ah, I was talking about straight sites featuring men and women. I still think having a "straight" guy on a site for gay men is still considered a gay site because that is the audience you are going for. But maybe that's just me, heh heh. :)

Grrrrr. Don't make me bitch-slap you, Lee! :)

I KNOW it's "gay niche" content; I was just including it as an example of how gay webmasters are "branching out." I'm sure that there are probably straight guys who watch the Jake Cruise stuff and get off on that as well. It's probably coming in very, um, "handy" for bi-curious guys. :)

Branching out how?

I dont see how promoting an oversaturated niche can be considered 'branching out' its nothing new and to me, i give it a likeness to the twink niche, all and sundry promotes straight guys sites, to some extent these days.

So far as marketing it to bicurious guys, there are better ways to convert that traffic but, more about that in a couple of days time ;) ;)

Well I'm straight but I have some gay traffic for different gay ethnicities. I have not really found it to be that difficult, but then again I'm not targeting twinks or the like which I think would be a tougher sell.

I just found my way basically by reading GWW, reading gay sex stories for the niche which is where I get a lot of ideas for sales text and the actual thing that turns the surfers on, and by reading review sites to see who has what sites and how they are.

So I don't think there's any reason a gay webmaster couldn't do the opposite of what I did, and I have some friends who are doing just that. IMO it really boils down to whether you're willing to understand/research a niche that doesn't turn you on personally...and a lot of that is just not being uptight and being open-minded about it (at least from a straight perspective).
