Well, my dA experience has told me ...well, volumes.
Over the past few months I have put a lot more energy into my 'alternate' dA site: www.theRopes.deviantart.com
which has a decidedly more adult approach, mixed with many of the same images seen on this site.
Results?
Pretty obvious; sex sells!
After a Daily Deviation for one image, I got more pageviews in ONE HOUR than total for this site ...since February 07.
Not surprised..just kind of disappointed.
I trust you are well and happy.
