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.
