Thanks!
Nice article. Niche is a word used by those who don't understand fetish. I have been marketing "niche" for over ten years now. I remember when people would look at my sites and make disparaging remarks about ugly girls, poor design etc etc. Many of them have gone. Many have moved from job to job having never really been able to market their own sites. And now many are looking for "niche" sites like they are gold in a river of tin. We still do very well in a very crappy market. Why? because we are "niche". Fetish is a word that has been expropriated by the leather and rubber gang who think that is what fetish is. So that doesn't quite work.
I would say we have a boutique business. Successful with focussed traffic. Most mainstream porn traffic fails in the boutique end of the biz because very few webmasters get it. Here is an example. Most people think this is a stocking site and only toss their version of "stocking" traffic. What do you think? If you can figure it out, you can sell it. If it needs explaining, move along there is nothing to see here. That is niche.
