Add Audio Excitement
While the misuse of online audio enhancements to websites earned a bad rap early on, due to startled surfers having to quickly come up with an excuse for the sudden, late night caterwauling erupting from their computer’s sound system, as their spouse leapt from bed to investigate the source of the noisy nuisance — catching hubby in an awkward moment.

Speed Up Site Delivery With Subdomains
Adult websites tend to be fairly bloated affairs; laden with hi-resolution photographs, hi-definition videos and advanced scripting, that combined, can become a challenging and slow download across even the fastest Internet connections.

The Evolving International Market
Just how important are international sales to American porn manufacturers? “Overseas is critical,” said Peter Reynolds, whose Plaid Bag Media sells content around the world for clients that include, exclusively, Adam & Eve. “It’s a new world order and every studio has to look at every aspect of the market now and not rely on their domestic sales, as they did years ago.”

Pan-European Billing Strategies
For adult entertainment entrepreneurs seeking a broader audience, Europe is a fertile field from which an abundant crop of new business may spring.

Phone sex started it all. The idea of interacting with a live person in a one-on-one erotic exchange has kept porn lovers in a virtual state of hyper-horniness for decades.
