Porn Sites Are Big Business

Porn brings in a huge amount of traffic, which equates to a lot of revenue for the site owners. It's been said a few times that if you want a profitable web site that runs almost on its own and delivers lots of cash, create a porn site.

According to a report on the Techcrunch website, 89 percent of the porn that is available on the internet is American made. That report also shows $89 dollars is being spent on porn every second, and that report came out in 2007, so it's no wonder that that amount per second is now $3, 075 per second in 2010.

Most of the stats in the web sites, which are listed below in the resources section, are conflicting in reports as to the fact about who views more porn: men or women. That fact alone tells us adults of both sexes view all that porn. Sex sells and people are curious about how to perform acts or simply wish to view different sexual acts in order to fulfill their needs.

Where is most of this porn being bought? Well according to a 2006 report on the Family Safe Media web site, China, South Korea, Japan, and the United States are the top viewers, which represent 85 billion dollars of the 96 billion dollars, which were spent that year. This revenue comes from magazine, web site subscriptions as well as other services while sell sexual material. It is noted however that these porn sales stats change frequently year to year.

The top keyword searches to find this information would be no surprise to many people and these terms include, sex, adult dating, sex toys, free sex, XXX, cyber sex and more. The cost per click of some of these search terms range from .30 to 5.24, which shows that it is indeed, a good web-based business to get into. However since the sale of sexually explicit material is illegal in most areas, this could get a person in trouble with the law. Before a person gets into this type of get rich quick business, they need to check out the local laws in regards to the sex trade.
