Okay, here’s my attempt at a blog post, following all your instructions:
Alright, so I wanted to try something a little… different. I decided to mess around with advertising on, you know, that site. Pornhub. Yeah, I went there.
First, I gotta say, finding the actual advertising info was a bit of a hunt. It wasn’t like, bam, right there on the front page, obviously. I had to do some digging around, scrolling all the way down to footer, finally I click the “advertising” button.
Once I found the right place, it was kinda like any other ad platform, I guess. They have different options, like banner ads, those pre-roll video things, you know, the ones that play before the actual video. I think they even had some stuff for sponsoring specific channels, but I didn’t go that deep.
Setting Things Up
I decided to keep it simple and just try a basic banner ad. Nothing fancy. I went through their setup process, which was, surprisingly, pretty straightforward. I mean, you gotta upload your creative (the actual banner image), set your target audience (which, let’s be real, is pretty broad on a site like that), and choose your budget.
The targeting options were…interesting. You could pick categories, sure, but it wasn’t super granular. It’s not like you could target “people who like videos with exactly three people wearing red hats”. It was more like “general interests” kind of stuff.
- I choose my creative pic.
- I set a small testing budget. Don’t wanna throw all the money at random stuff.
- I just launched it and see what happend.
The Results (or Lack Thereof)
Honestly? It was kinda underwhelming. I let the ad run for a few days, and the traffic I got was… minimal. Like, barely a blip. I’m not sure if it was my banner, the targeting, or just the nature of the beast, but it didn’t exactly set the world on fire.
My takeaway? It was an experiment. A weird one, sure, but an experiment nonetheless. Would I do it again? Probably not for a serious campaign. Maybe for a laugh, but not for actual, serious marketing. It’s just not the right place for most products, let’s be honest.
So yeah, that’s my story of trying to advertise on Pornhub. Not exactly a roaring success, but hey, now I can say I tried it.
