It is the first of the month and we are again toying with the idea of removing all our anime galleries completely. The niche converts, without question, but as anime becomes more mainstream and 'search' keywords become 'wider' every month seems to bring either a complaint or a 'what if' idiot with a search fear. (
to quote a friend of mine (Candy) "(There is) a huge reference to many of today's popular cartoon's. There is a high likely hood that a search for a disney cartoon can bring some unwanted visitors-- )
In addition, we have received complaints/concerns about the 'implied' age of some of the toons featured and the thought of 2257 hovering over our shoulders 'feels' more likely daily.
We have stopped 'pushing' anime for the last 4 months just leaving the links to the galleries there with no real promotion but, in essence, that is just wasting space. We have looked at promoting just 'American' toons but, frankly, compared to the hentai the quality is just not there.
I love the niche, both professionaly and personally, but, I must admit, getting traffic hunting mickey mouse scares me.
Any thoughts? Any ideas on how anime could be marketed without the risk of 'cross-over' clicks? I am open to suggestions and looking for info.
