| Heres a quick breakdown for those of you unfamiliar with content providers. Content providers are business-to-business providers of pictures, movies, games, or anything that would typically go in an adult webmasters member area. A majority of adult-oriented websites use content providers to obtain such materials, as the only alternative is shooting pictures and movies on ones own which is very costly and inefficient for most firms. If you are planning a widespread distribution of materials that youve created yourself or if you have a particularly popular amateur whose content you would prefer to maintain rights over, producing your own content may be a viable solution. Even if this is the case, however, it is wise to supplement the materials youve created with purchased content in order to compete in the adult industry as member areas become increasingly larger.
Content providers are springing up left and right as the mature adult arena becomes more and more competitive, contributing to the complexity of choosing which content system best suits your needs. There are many factors to consider once youve made the decision to buy content for your website. Important considerations include the content providers specialty niches, the response time involved when dealing with the provider, the types of membership benefits and updates the content provider offers, the legality of the models involved in producing the content, and the membership fees and commission systems currently in place are all important. It is critical that you assess the niche that you are targeting; identify the type of content you are after by matching content materials to your keywords. An equally important consideration is that of your constraints; it is crucial to consider the money you have available to spend, the timeframes in which you will be working, and the time commitment involved in the laborious process of maintaining your site. Depending upon your particular needs, you may be searching for any variety of small series or bulk packages. Following is a short review of the important characteristics exhibited by a few of the major content providers weve worked with:
