Flickr is #1 because of soft porn. Suddenly I want to visit more often
Despite the perception of Flickr as a high-brow photo sharing site, much of its popularity can be attributed to searches for soft porn.
The interesting (and obvious) thing about this is that, well, people like porn — it’s helped Flickr grow to the size it is today. (To paraphrase Dr. Cox from Scrubs, if all the porn disappeared from the Internet, all the Internet would be is one site and it would be called, “Bring back the porn”.) Still, despite the surge in traffic I’m sure I’d see, I have little desire to turn Babe Vs Babe into a porn site… there are already plenty of those out there.

I could not agree more about the “softcore flickr” approach. Babe vs Babe does a great job at keeping ahead of these so-called adult sites by an approach that is continuously fresh and interesting.I must admit that of the 4 sites plus that I run,the one (which shall remain nameless in the interest of non-self promotion) that gets the most amazing traffic employs the best of flickr finds.Hopefully more of these flickr angels will post their own photos here at Babe vs Babe and I for one will be this site’s biggest fan.

Thanks Friarfox, I’m glad you like the site. I have lots more ideas of where I can go with the site, but with the latest changes, I think I’ve got something that’s fun and interesting enough (for now)… right now my primary goal is to have more girls and guys sign up and post themselves. You wouldn’t be the only one who would enjoy seeing more Flickr angels (or angels from anywhere, for that matter) post their photos here.
