Podnography, Publicity and Why Alex Nesbitt Should Read SugarBank Before Shooting His Damn Mouth Off

Is the demo hands on?

A few weeks ago, when only the people I shouted at while I was drunk knew what was in this blog, I asked where all the sexy podcasts were. I said there should be a huge market for what I called ‘Podnography’.

Since then a business consultant - Alex Nesbitt - has made headlines saying exactly what I did (wanker) and last week Apple released a version of iTunes that makes listening to podcasts easy.

I still think podcasting’s not as important as people are saying it is. Podcasts are just MP3’s and they’re not going to make ‘radio’ democratic. Who’d choose to listen to ‘Farm Stories with Inbred Ollie’ over the Stern Show?

However, sex isn’t well served by mainstream (Clear Channel) radio and there are a lot of people who’d make a sexy podcast but wouldn’t strip for the camera. That’s why as recording audio gets easier, increasing numbers of people are likely to make podcasts of their sexblogs, sexploits and general naughtiness.

Sexy podcasts can compete against radio in a way that amateur music and talk shows can’t. There’s a space for podnography and I continue to predict that they will boom as a new adult entertainment niche. Hear that Mr. Business Consultant? I predict it - not you fucko.

So why hasn’t it happened yet?

There are two problems. First is the whole podcasting name. Podcasting’s just posting MP3’s to your blog. Podcasting makes it sound complicated and, given that the adult world has only recently discovered blogging, podcasting’s about a year off making sense to most adult webmasters.

Secondly finding content on sexblogs is hard. There are a few blogs, Fleshbot springs to mind, which offer links to sexblogs and websites but they have to be very picky in what they present. If you have a lot of traffic you can trade it for exposure on a links list, but what if you don’t?

If you try to use search tools like Technorati you have to hope you’re searching for the right tag or keyword. Google and Yahoo aren’t entirely comprehensive, and again, you have to search for phrases you think might ‘hit’ the types of blog you want.

I’ve been thinking hard about the problem and I’m pretty sure I’ve found the answer. I’ve come up with an easy way to let a large audience know about any post, at any sexblog.

It’s entirely democratic, it’s free, it doesn’t require you to send any traffic anywhere. Small blogs will have just as much coverage as big blogs and inclusion is guaranteed. It’s anonymous and it won’t require any kind of registration. The only restriction will be my own ruthless weeding out of irrelevant spam. The more you use it the more people will find your blog.

I can start doing it next week and it all hinges on the traffic coming from TGP.com (if you don’t know why TGP.com is such a killer URL read this). If it’s popular the owners of the TGP.com domain will let me do it permanently. If not - it’s a chance to get a lot of easy traffic for 3-4 weeks until I start writing about why it didn’t work.

If you write any type of blog dealing with sex, babes, porn or whatever (just keep it legal donkey-rapists) send me an email and let me know. Make sure you include a link to your blog so I can check it out. This idea will only work for blogs I’m afraid so no regular websites please.

Next week, when I’ve worked out who’s interested in getting involved I’ll show you what I’ve come up with. It’s simple but really clever too. Prepare to have your mind mother-fucking blown man.
