On the whole, there are some really cool and interesting sites in the altporn genre and I think we’d all agree that there is also a great deal of hype swirling around it as well these days. So, Altporn.net is allowing me to embark on a series of articles regarding actual hard statistics, in an effort to make things a bit more clear to the people interested in having a better understanding of the reality.

This chart of Alexa ranking measurements for the top sites in the genre is designed to illustrate the relative popularity of the various core altporn membership driven sites. Alexa ranking, although not perfect, is one of the best available measures of site popularity across the entire internet. Alexa is not always precise, but it’s a pretty good ballpark measure. It’s a little tricky for those unfamilliar with it’s structure, but the explaination is really pretty easy to understand. Every site on the internet is essentially ranked in order from very most visited to very least visited, and the numbers start at one for most visited. Thus, the number one most visited site on the internet according to Alexa has an Alexa rank of 1. Currently Yahoo has an Alexa rank of 1, Microsoft MSN has a rank of 2, Google has a rank of 3, MySpace has a rank of 5, YouTube has a rank of 7… you probably get the picture.

So, without further more complicated discussion of Alexa data collection, here are the actual traffic rankings, or relative popularity, of the core sites in the genre.

If there are sites that you, as readers, feel should have been included, or should not have been included, in this altporn membership site ranking chart, let us know your suggestions.

That’s a mighty big vibrator you’ve got there girl! I’m not usually a fan of the girls on bikes genre of photography. I love hot girls, and I really enjoy great bikes, but somehow the two together in a photo tends to come off kinda cheesy most of the time. This Deviant Nation set however, actually manages to look pretty hot. So, kudos to you guys. Nice job.

Pale, red hair, and in business formal? This is unbelievably hot. We should hang out, cerah.

I actually started modeling at 14, mom put me in modeling school and I did some fashion and runway, then stopped. Went on with life and married then divorced, after my divorce my close friend and fellow model, Scylla Fisher introduced me to the altporn world and Deviant Nation. That is where I got my start and after taking just some basic photos for fun and my tattooist, I was noticed Why? I sure as hell don’t know. I thought it was fun, different and new. I am an old fashioned woman in reality, and am surprised each time I see a photo of me online. It is still strange for the thought of someone paying to look at me, it gets me all veclempt and still boggles my mind, some like me, some love me and some don’t. That is just life, And modeling is really just an illusion, all smoke and mirrors and as Oscar Wilde says “Illusion is the first of all pleasures”. I am old for the industry on average, but “The absence of flaw in beauty is itself a flaw” — Havelock Ellis, and age really means nothing but more knowledge of living.
