I’d like to address incorrect assertions about the recent QuantCast statistical addition to our regular Alexa traffic and site popularity study. “Anony Mouse” has not so boldly anonymously called the data gathered into question, asserting that the Blue Blood statistics were somehow aggregated in some way as to appear as though their overall footprint in this genre is very large. What puzzles me about this accusation is that the statistics are right there for anybody to look up. There was absolutely no aggregation of the data of the rankings in any way and there is nothing hidden from public fact checking.

“Why would you aggregate Blueblood’s sites together and somehow miss the fact that many sites on your list are also part of other companie’s holdings, such as Naughty America, Gods Girls, EroticBPM, etc, etc…” - Anony Mouse

Blue Blood’s overall footprint in this genre is in fact very large, larger than I had previously realized. So, if I had aggregated the statistics and rolled together Blue Blood ranking statistics, their actual QuantCast rank would have been on the very top of the chart, ringing in at precisely 4,465, with an impressive estimated monthly traffic (EMV) result of 379,471. But, that’s not how the study was done. If it had been, Blue Blood would in fact have topped the chart, being sizably more popular that SuicideGirls.com even.

It is also clear that Anony Mouse doesn’t understand what a networked membership site really is, so I think it’s best to explain. A membership in Naughty Flipside actually also automatically gets the member additional access to every site in the Naughty America family of sites, such as Naughty Office, Naughty Bookworms, My Friends Hot Mom, etc. Thus, it is a network membership site. However, Naughty Flipside is the only site that Naughty America does that really truly fits in the AltPorn genre. Some people here at AltPorn.net do enjoy some of the nerdy girl content on Naughty America’s Naughty Bookworms, but it’s not something we’d consider totally in the AltPorn genre. These rankings are done on a site by site basis, for each site being measured, not the overall network.

GodsGirls’ parent company NicheBucks, on the other hand, doesn’t even include GodsGirls in their affiliate program, let alone their network of sites. So, as a member, you would not get any additional membership to AuntJudys.com, OlderWomen.com, BigOlderWomen.com, OfficeGals.com, Twinks.com, or even FullBush.com. So, even if we were measuring the traffic and popularity of networked membership sites, instead of the individual sites we actually are measuring, counting the overall NicheBucks site portfolio wouldn’t make any sense.

Business wise, EroticBPM, formerly RaverPorn could be considered to be connected to the Spiceplay site, which was also in our study until it went on hiatus, as well as FatalBeauty for that matter, but they too are not networked as far as membership goes. This still does mean that Killshot could be considered to have a decently large footprint within this genre though.

Although they are still counted and measured individually, Blue Blood does actually network the memberships for each of their sites listed in this AltPorn multi-girl site study. The statistics were not aggregated in any way, but a membership in any one of their sites on that chart, such as Blue Blood or BarelyEvil automatically grants access to all their other sites on the chart, such as RubberDollies and GothicSluts. The four sites they have on that chart don’t even comprise all their alt-site properties, but all their sites are in this genre. I just happened to mention in my last post that Blue Blood seemed to be pretty big, and really, they clearly are. Nothing was skewed or spun or aggregated or fudged at all.

Just under the wire, here is this month’s Altporn ‘A’ List Alexa chart. Of note this month, DeviantNation continues it’s rise up the charts, slipping past CrazyBabe. EroticBPM is up a few spots. CityKittie is looking pretty dead and SpicePlay is still closed up under redesign.

Here is the AltPorn History Timeline. AltPorn.net has isolated the domain registration dates as the logical earliest starting point for sites, as well as the Archive.org records as the latest third party documented historical record, in order to best establish a range within which sites could have logically launched. Then we contacted site owners and operators to nail down official dates within that range. This is the most complete and most accurate AltPorn genre historical timeline available and we hope you find it as interesting and even entertaining as we do.

* Archive.org info for paid membership sites reflects the first available record of the existance of the join page and/or actual members area navigation. This reflects a sites actual ability to serve memberships to the public.

** In cases of no reply from site staff, owners, or operators, the launch date refelects the earliest record of a join page and/or actual members area navigation on Archive.org

SpicePlay has always been an interesting experiment. It has one of the most unique structures in the Alt site arena. It has it’s own sort of economy, where members get credits and use them to view just what they like and the people in the pictures get paid based on sort of how much their sets made in credit sales. They also have a very interesting flash based image series viewer and all sorts of unique community interaction features.

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.

I believe the cheesy pickup line “Hey baby, nice cans!” is appropriate to use at this juncture.

Have you ever wondered how beautiful women listen to music? Well it is EXACTLY like this. And no one had better try to convince me it isn’t. Also, I love Maya’s kitty.

I have been looking forward to Jensfading’s first set for a while. Who can blame me? Look at that adorable smile, that pixieish sweeping do, that ripe ass you wanna plow that cute little bottom! She’s gonna be a star, I tell ya!

Jensfading is here! And she looks like such a cute little pixie, how could you not love her?

You know what? I love Glitterhips. You know what else? I think she is gorgeous. I think she is an incredibly, incredibly attractive person. *smooch* The only thing I am worried about? Gettin’ a boner!

Broken cameras, delayed flights, traffic jams, one way streets and rain. At every turn evil forces were trying to prevent this shoot from happening, but we prevailed and today the long awaited photos of Glitterhips are here!

Fleshbot recently did their Top 10 Hotties of 2005 (including our friend Victoria Lane), but I think they forgot someone. Maya Lofgren is not only the prettiest Swede in altporn, but one of a handful of models who are truly special. She’s on my top 10 list every year. 8)

The prettiest swede in altporn has returned to spiceplay sporting some new ink since we last saw her. More Maya photos are always a good thing.

Face is turning into one of my fav models. She’s just terribly cute, and I love her black slip, fishnets, and pearls. Gorgeous, gorgeous girl.

I would love to look in my closet one day and see Face there. :)
