Continuing in our Alexa edition of the AltPorn A-List Traffic and Popularity Study, the December numbers are fairly similar to the November numbers. DeviantNation and BlueBlood’s GothicSluts have knocked the waning former number two site NaughtyFlipside out of it’s position and taken the number two and three spots again. GodsGirls seems to have moved up over BlueBlood’s RubberDollies, and a handfull of the bottom rung sites have moved up as FatalBeauty closed shop from the number seventeen slot.

Whoa! Some thing are shakin’ in this month’s AltPorn A-List Traffic and Site Popularity study, QuantCast edition. Both BlueBlood’s old school pre-SG alt sites BarelyEvil and GothicSluts have beaten out long time pole position holder SuicideGirls, which dropped to position three, as well as Bob Coulter’s popular CrazyBabe site, which dropped two spots as well. NaughtyFlipside has taken a significant dip, which just goes to show what happens when you don’t do updates for two months. DeviantNation enjoys a bit of a bump up, rising four spots, along with BellaVendetta which also rose four spots. We welcome the addition of new AltPorn sites PunkGrl and LazerBuny to the QuantCast tracking chart this month, and have removed FatalBeauty, as it has just recently closed.

The November AltPorn A List Alexa numbers are in. It looks like BlueBlood’s GothicSluts jumped up a couple spots during the month of October, rising above Bob Coulter’s CrazyBabe and BlueBlood’s BarelyEvil. DeviantNation’s numbers are still a bit inexplicable, given that Alexa is the only traffic and popularity measuring tool that seems to have them ranked anywhere near this high. If someone can find another reliable measure, let us know. RazorDolls seems to have risen above EroticBPM this past month as well. We’ve added newcomers PunkGrl and LazerBunny to the mix and we’re debating the inclusion of NaughtyFlipside. We had high hopes when they launched, but their updates seem to really miss the mark when it comes to this genre and they have not had a new update since late September. Their AltPorn content just seems really costumed and although this is more acceptable in the AltPorn video market, we kind of expect the A List sites to be based a little more on reality. Hot girl with nice body mods does really sexy things on video sounds good, but following the badly scripted exploits of a fake band in awful makeup and worse clothes just doesn’t seem to fit the spirit. It might appeal to people just fine, but we’d like to encourage a more real life approach with our AltPorn A List sites. Not everyone here agrees. What do you think? Let us know.

Spurred partially by ‘Satan’ calling the QuantCast AltPorn A-List rankings reporting into question, but mostly because the more data sources we’re collecting from, the better, I’ve decided to add an additional reputable traffic and site popularity measuring tool to the study. Now we survey data from Alexa, QuantCast, and Compete.com, in order to give the most accurate reporting on AltPorn genre site popularity and traffic available from unbiased third party sources.

Interestingly enough, even though the Compete.com estimated monthly visitors seems to be a little off from the QuantCast estimates, the sites stack up remarkably similar in rankings. A few sites which are closely ranked switch places from chart to chart, but for the most part, we’re getting a fairly consistent snapshot of the state of multi-girl Alt genre site traffic and popularity. Compete.com offers another set of interesting data points, revealing individual site trends, measured on a monthly and yearly basis. This gives an idea of which sites are up or down from their previous month and year.

Blame the goblins, our October QuantCast AltPorn A-List rankings report is a day or two late in posting. Near the top, BlueBlood’s GothicSluts swapped spots with their BarelyEvil site. NaughtyFlipside continues it’s rise in traffic and popularity, up from about midlist. And NoFauxxx gets a bump up from it’s previous bottom spot.

There are no big changes discovered for the October Alexa installment of our AltPorn A-List Traffic and Popularity Study. The Alexa rankings are holding pretty steady with only a couple sites swapping places in ranking. No big jumps or falls to report this month. We still have not figured out the mystery explaining why Deviant Nation’s Alexa rank is near the top of the chart while their certified Quantcast still remains near the bottom of the chart. There is some reemerging debate here about how qualified Naughty Flipside really is, given that their content, although still frequently hot, kind of misses the mark when it comes to authentic AltPorn. It seems a little more Alt as Halloween costume, but then again a lot of the adult video industry ‘AltPorn’ comes across that was to some of us. The jury is still out on that one.

The leaves are starting to change and Fall appears to be here, and it’s time for our September QuantCast AltPorn A-List rankings report. Although there is no real massive shakeup, there has been some movement. Biggest winners this month are BrokenDollz, Blue Blood’s news and community site, and Fatal-Beauties.com (which is actually Blue Blood’s promotional site for FatalBeauty, through Blue Blood’s SpookyCash site promotional program.) Each of these sites gained three spots in the general monthly QuantCast AltPorn A-List rankings since last month. Also of note, CrazyBabe got another spike in traffic and moved into the second position again.

QuantCast seems to have made adjustments to eliminate the traffic/rankings anomaly we noticed last month, where actual quantified publishers such as AltPorn.net and Deviant Nation took a hit in rankings that seemed to be out of line with our estimated monthly traffic (EMV), but it looks like the result is that they may have simply lowered the estimate. We’re still scratching our heads on that.

The September 1st installment of our AltPorn A-List Traffic and popularity study brings us almost no change in Alexa rankings for the top twenty AltPorn sites, other than NaughtyFlipside jumping up four spots. Otherwise, everything is pretty much in the same position it was last month. We’ve recently included AltPorn.net in the traffic measurement charts for good measure, so although it looks like everything below that new entry slipped a spot, it’s really only due to the new entry. So, it would appear, according to Alexa anyway, that things are holding pretty much steady in the AltPorn site world. It will be interesting to see if the same pattern holds true with the other measures we are adding to the mix of analysis tools.

Here are the statistics for the August installment of our continuing AltPorn A-List Alexa traffic ranking study. Big winners this month are NaughtyFlipside, moving up seven spots, followed by Blue Blood’s punk site BarelyEvil, which rose a couple of spots. Entering the list at healthy spot number eight is Blue Blood’s fetish/alt latex site RubberDollies. Most everything else stayed steady or slid a bit. PunkPinups surprisingly seems to have fallen to the bottom of the list, despite what seems to be a fair amount of effort on their part.

It’s that time of the month again. Another installment of our famous Altporn ‘A’ List Alexa study. We dropped a couple sites from the list, since they seem to be no longer active, and added a couple new ones in their place, so welcome NaughtyFlipside.com and PunkPinups.com. We had a bit of a debate about adding the NaughtyFlipside site, since on the surface it appears to be a little less independent that some of the sites we traditionally cover might seem to be, but then decided that might be a bad set of rocks to start throwing in the proverbial glass house. Let’s just say it’s hard to nail down what exactly counts as really independent these days. A few sites we cover are very much doing it on their own and some of the others, well, not so much. So, for now, we’ve decided that quality of content and genre appropriateness is what counts for the purpose of this monthly study anyway. What are your thoughts? We’re always open to hearing constructive points of view from our readers.
