Did anyone else see this commercial on during the halftime show of the super bowl.  It is for a website we had not heard of previously.  The website, AshleyMadison.comis a website that is a dating website to help facilitate people in finding a partner for an extramarital affair.  The website even offers a money back gaurantee if they can’t find you a partner.

Now the website is not without contraversy, as it was banned from the coverage in Canada, but it brings up an interesting thought.  If society can except blatant advertising for adultery promoting websites, what would the reaction be for advertising for swinger websites.

Do you think SDC.com could next year get an ad to run advertising their services?  So we are probably still a few years from that, it does illustrate the odd dichotomy of views society has on cheating spouses versus loyal spouses with multiple sex partners.

This is a topic we addressed before with this post last year!

I had a great conversation on Friday with John (of Swingercast) who is a fellow legitimate adult webmaster and also has become  a friend. …and not just because we got in bed with him and his wife either!

We spoke for probably about an hour about several major topics from “What the hell is happening over at Swingfest” to Google and it’s latest treatment to our websites.

One of the best conversations that came up was discussion about creating a group of legitimate adult webmasters to come together as a group to discuss challenges and strategies facing our businesses.

You see, as a webmaster who happens to have a website that carries a focus on any adult related activity or discussion, it becomes exponentially more difficult and requires much more persistance to have a successful online presence. The reason is the complete saturation of the “keywords” surfers choose to locate us in the search engines with deceptive, spam filled,  and low quality porn sites.

There are literally millions of those websites that Gentlenibbles.com and other legitimate websites compete with on a daily basis to try and move closer to the front page of search results in the major search engines. It is not only the numbers that put the odds against legitimate websites, but the organization and practices of these “crap” website’s webmasters further complicate the process.

Goolge, as great as they are, really seem to have it completely backwards when it comes to “adult” keywords and the bad guys seem to be the ones that have found a way to cheat the system.

….ok enough rambling

The idea of getting a large group of legitimate website owners is very appealing for several reasons.

  1. Shared knowledge is a very powerful thing!
  2. Group Strategy is way more powerful than individual efforts.
  3. Getting to know a community of peers is fun and rewarding.
  4. As a group maybe we can get the attention of some of the major players in the Search Engine World to take notice of a flawed system and help us find ways to fix it!
  5. Most Importantly- Hopefully some of them are pretty damn sexy!

So now I am trying to work on a list of these legitimate webmasters so we can get their opinions as well as come up with a name for our little group.  Here are some thoughts

  • ALAW -Association of Legitimate Adult Webmasters
  • SEAW -Society of Ethical Adult Webmasters

I have a couple of others as well.  The point is I would like to come up with something catchy.  If I could come up with something where the acronym spelled something catchy or fitting that would be cool as well. 

If you are a webmaster and would like to be included on the list or have a good idea to share leave us a comment or send us an email to thenibblers@gentlenibbles.com.

I really have not progressed in the arena of responsibility since my High School Days! I am the worlds worst procrastinator when it comes to doing anything I should be doing. I have a major presentation for work due first thing tomorrow morning!

I purposely set aside Friday to get it, as well as my expenses, done! Well we are now within about five hours of the Super Bowl and I have not started either! Which means I need to really bust ass over the next five hours, skip the super bowl, or stay up until the wee hours of the morning.

I can almost guarantee it will the the latter of those three choices. Don’t get me wrong i am highly regarded as a hard worker by my colleagues, and boss. They just don’t know how bad I put things off before getting them done!

The good news is that when I am procrastinating I am usually working on other projects, unfortunately those are projects I enjoy (gentlenibbles.com) and not the ones I get paid for.

So I am now going to turn up Itunes, shut the office door, and get to work!!! The question is what am I going to work on? ;)
