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.

Michelle Aston is one of the most fun new stars of the AltPorn world. She not only has fantastic tattoo work and frequently changing punky hairstyles, but she’s truly an alternative girl on the inside as well. You can learn a lot about her reading the interview she has on her new site and we completely recommend taking the time to check it out. She’s a very interesting and very sexy woman. Her site has a really eclectic mix of sexy and artistic content to look at as well. People seem to call her a MILF, but I’m not sure I see it. She just looks like a hot woman I’d want to hang out with and do cool art scene things with. This series was shot by Bob Coulter. I really like his outdoor work a lot.

At what point is it ok for a site to make their name become part of the girl’s name? Is it a certain number of sets and/or videos? Is it only ok for the first one she was on? The last one she was on? Is it exclusivity? What happens if she then appears on another site? Does she get a divorce and change her name? Some sites seem to feel like their girls really belong to them, and some even seem to have contracts that amount to just that. Others simply pressure girls with threats of disinclusion and hostility. A surprising number of girls even take on certain site names and site initials in their MySpace profile names and other social network services. I’ve even had girls introduce themselves to me, using their site surname. “Hi, I’m Becky Starbucks” That would be weird, so why has it become such a trend in Alt? Some sites are more pushy about this than others and some don’t seem to do it at all. Isn’t branding a girl with a product name kind of the opposite of what this is all supposed to be about? A girl could be Penthouse Pet of the Year, but nobody would expect her to go around calling herselve Ivana Penthouse. What’s up with that? When should it be ok?

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.

I really can no longer look at Nico’s adorable little face without visions of her playfully rough BurningAngel sex scene where she antagonizes Tommy Pistol into abusing her with his cock. Seeing him slap her face and rudely fuck her cute mouth as she drools and gags and then aggressively push his cock up her nice full round ass, gripping her tiny waist and pulling her body onto him till she squeals in delight. Well, it left an impression, violating her otherwise innocent impression on me. BurningAngel has some of the hottest video around right now. This set is really cute too, but I just can’t get that hot BA video out of my head.

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.

It’s time for our mid month QuantCast installment of our ongoing AltPorn A List traffic and popularity analysis study. QuantCast has been doing fairly constant improvements to their data gathering and reporting technology and it’s getting to a pretty impressive stage at this point. From our experience, looking at the stats we have available to us, I’m starting to trust their measures even more than Alexa lately. But, we still feel that the more sources of data you have, the better picture you will be able to create when it comes to understanding where things are really at.

Over the last month, we went ahead and added the QuantCast measuring code to our own site, AltPorn.net and had ourselves qualified as a quantified publisher, which gives a much more direct and more accurate measure of traffic for analysis. We added ourselves to the chart, just for good measure, and based on other logs and stats I have access too, it seems that QuantCast is still in the neighborhood of about 15 to 20 percent low. However, that’s not a bad margin of error comparing traffic analysis tools to internal stats and logs. It looks like Deviant Nation has done the same and embedded their QuantCast measuring tool to their site as well, as they are now also listed as a Quantified Publisher. It also seems to have popped them up a number of spots to a more accurate accounting of their position. I do find it interesting that as a Quantified Publisher, our rank for APN is lower than NaughtyFlipside, but our Estimated Monthly Visitors is actually 14,000 visitors higher, with a similar ranking anomaly occurring for Deviant Nation, who would fall in position nine, rather than thirteen, if we sorted by estimated visitors.

Movers and shakers, NaughtyFlipside moved up six positions, although this is to be expected with a brand new site from an established pro adult company like Naughty America. BlueBlood’s BarelyEvil took the number two spot, so Blue Blood still has three sites in the top five. According to the QuantCast charts, CrazyBabe traffic seems to be very volatile, coming in huge bursts and then dropping back off, so they move around a bit in position, but they seem to be settling a bit for the time being. Although GodsGirls did improve their traffic slightly, they still fell a couple spots, being edged out by the gains of EroticBPM and NaughtyFlipside. We consider inserting ourselves in the chart to be a little artificial, so I won’t ding them for falling the full three spots listed on the chart below. Otherwise, sites at the back end of the chart do seem to be having trouble keeping up with the leaders.
