What's Next for the Adult Entertainment Industry?
I agree that adult bloggers need to have an open discussion about the state of the market today. It seems that free speech notwithstanding, "adult content" is getting a bum rap: many people I have spoken with about this think that the general repressed mindset is the real culprit, just look at the increase of filtering software available today with search engines bowing to the pressure and making it adult content the new "spam."
Although I am a new adult webmaster, I am quite disappointed in the quantity and quality of what's being presented: whether you are talking soft or hard core. While users with children should restrict access to the adult content that's intended for adult eyes only, the real question is: when adults search using keywords of "sex" or "porn" are they only looking for explicit photos or erotic stories? Isn't there more to adult content than this?
It seems that the adult social networking concept may be the saving grace: combining the ability for user generated content along with content provided by the webmaster. But in my opinion I think that the time may be right to step this concept up a level to an independent browser platform like Flock for instance.
I would like to get some input on this idea. Thanks to all.

I think that this depends on whether the content is professional or amateur.
Crowdsourcing and the ability for amateurs to provide content cheaply has opened up many possibilities.
Also "day trippers" who want to get off can find erotic writing, photos and videos easily, those who wish to spend more time exploring can find more rewarding material.
I don't think that something like Flock will give your really much more traffic...
I think quality is the main reason for success...
I try to combine stories and pictures, so everybody finds something for his/her needs.
It's essential for Quality Sex Bloggers to group together through theirs blogs, to list better than those
Sblogs from porn webmasters.
You raise a lot of interesting points. I never know quite where my content falls. It's such a grab bag. But I pretty much stay away from the more explicit photos, but my text can be very hard. So when I look at other self-identified sex blogs, I know I don't quite fit in. I'd love a way to find some of the higher quality blogs.
Having a nice balance between stories, education, news, pictures, videos, and general banter is a nice way to get loyal readers.
