VAN NUYS, Calif. - Adult studio Vivid Entertainment has added a sex tape featuring former “American Idol” finalist Jessica Sierra to the lineup for Vivid Cash and Vivid Celeb.

The Jessica Sierra Superstar DVD is available for preview, preorder and video-on-demand delivery at the Jessica Sierra Superstar website, which will be launched in the Vivid Cash affiliate program on Jan. 30, the same day the DVD will be released.

“We are pleased to have Jessica fall into the Vivid Celeb lineup, and we were happy to give her another claim to fame, so to speak,” said Mike C., general manager of Vivid Cash. “Vivid is growing as a celebrity-sex-tape destination, and we know Jessica’s tape will be very successful.”

The video contains 72 minutes of footage featuring the star having hardcore sex with a man believed to be her boyfriend at the time, talking about sex while driving, flashing her breasts, taking a shower and commenting on other contestants from the fourth season of “American Idol.”

Vivid said it obtained the video from an unidentified third party.

Vivid’s roster of celebrity sex tapes includes the recent Kim K Superstar - featuring Hollywood socialite Kim Kardashian and her then-boyfriend, R&B artist Ray J - as well as videos of Pamela Anderson and Tommy Lee, Vince Neil, Tom Sizemore, hip-hop groupie Karrine Steffans aka “Superhead,” and Jennifer “Toastee” Toof, a competitor on the VH1 reality TV shows “Flavor of Love” and “Charm School.”

Hopefully we’ll see this one and many more in the future added to celebrity nude photos and videos, and sex tapes sex tapes celebrity section, it seems to be good for celebrity careers, and affiliates looking to add new name recognized content.

This American Idol girl is hot, can’t wait to see her getting it on!

Details are sketchy as of this writing, but from this article at Tech Crunch it seems that the FTC has fined Adult Friend Finder for some of the pop up ads that have been served around sites that are coming up for some vanilla search terms. We are unsure at this time as to whether or not these ads are being served by affiliates alone or if adult friend finder was itself going for some of the non adult keyword searches.

A chunk of the article from tech crunch:

Adult dating site AdultFriendFinder, rumored to have been acquired in November for $1 billion is on the wrong side of the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) with a settlement that restricts AdultFriendFinder’s promotional activities.

The FTC said in a statement that AdultFriendFinder affiliates used pop-up ads to drive traffic to the site, and exposed consumers, including children to sexual explicit images when search for terms including “flowers,” “travel,” and “vacations.” More seriously the FTC alleged that the ads were also distributed with spyware and adware.

The FTC found that “the practice of displaying graphic pop-up ads without consumer consent was unfair, and violated the FTC Act;” essentially saying that porn pop-ups are illegal.

AdultFriendFinder agreed to a settlement with the FTC which sees the company admitting no guilt in return for not displaying sexually explicit ads to consumers unless they’re looking for that sort of content (or are already on an adult site) and to cease using pop-ups. AdultFriendFinder must also force affiliates to comply with the settlement or terminate them should they not comply… more of the article and comments / discussion at Tech Crunch here.

Another big question in our mind is how in the hell is adult friend finder going to go through the tons of affiliates and the insane amount of incoming traffic to determine if people are using nude ads served for the millions of generic search terms that are out there. More to come with this story I’m sure.

I am glad to see that dating gold is moving forward with technology and not remaining stagnant like so much of our industry has been technologically the past couple of years. Sure there have been developments like HD, but that was just adapting what the big tech companies are putting out. I really enjoy seeing companies in the porn industry pushing the envelope for better tech, better usability. Certainly tagging features and blogging have had a big boom in part because of porn, but when new designs and new functionality are added by businesses that are already successful, that makes me happy. Recently AVN broke a story about some new tech from Dating Gold that is being released to select companies…

UITGEEST, Netherlands – European adult affiliate program Payserve.com has is now offering its affiliates an innovative promotional tool: free hosted galleries capable of including reciprocal links.

Reciprocal links are required by many gallery post sites as a condition for listing galleries submitted by webmasters.

The new tool from Payserve allows webmasters using FHG’s to add their own reciprocal links to the sponsor’s galleries and to filter selected galleries by niche and by site.

Affiliates can choose whether they want the recips to appear on the top or the bottom of the free hosted galleries, with a maximum number of three recips per gallery and two links for each recip.

Reciprocal links increase traffic to websites when surfers click on the links directly, and can play a major role in boosting a site’s search engine rankings, making them useful for search engine optimization.

Payserve offers affiliates 14 paysites covering various niches and pays out in Euros.

The new recip galleries are available to webmasters by clicking on “Recips” in the “Tools” menu in their Payserve account. Affiliates that are already using Payserve FHGs should make sure that when activating the recip tool, that the script does not delete any existing galleries.

This fabulous cash program has a few good web sites to promote. They have shot some of the newer bigger name porn stars and have lots of content that is offered in the tour, and in the members area. The webmaster referral fee is confusing, but none the less these are good sites to add to the mix, with an excellent template plus visual content chooser for making the free galleries.

We’ve considered promoting the big wet asses site that is featured in the braincash network. So we started this week. The site is professional with large hi rez photos on the tour. The women appeal to the mainstream as most are curvaceous with large breasts. The slick wet asses make for a professional looking porn shoot and the site looks like it would get sign ups, so we are giving it a whirl.

The brain cash network also features gay and ipod / mobile adult webmaster affiliate sites to promote..

There are more sites in the network to promote including flirty pussy which features young girls having sex with other hot girls. A teen lesbian porn site that should be an easy sell.

There are a bunhc more niche web sites within the Braincash network as well. Everything from teen porn to busty solo sites and interracial sites like lex on blondes and more. There are some squirting sites in the mix that should sell well and many more.

This is a video download site that offers more than a thousand adult DVDs for the surfer to download. I find the 4 formats and no DRM to be a major plus, it should be an easy sell to anyone who has a PSP or ipod, as they make all of the movies available in those formats.

We had a hard time with a few of the thumbnails that we wanted to promote with Bree Olson, but otherwise the gallery builder they provide does offer quick searches and they even give you links to link directly to videos themselves (hotlinking to them)

We just started promoting this one, so we don’t have more info at this time.

Jugg cash has a lot of niche sites. The tours are big and bold, and the amount of video content the surfer gets for the price of admission is a good deal.

The niche sites available through this program include

Baby Got Boobs - a big boobs mega site with a lot of variation, Mostly big boobed glamor models with large photos and all ages and ethnicities featured. Interactive voting on the different shoots is a neat option that adds surfer interactivity during the tour.

Big Boob Pass - A bunch of big tits! Lots of girls with big fucking boobs, this site has a bunch of girls, moany of them appear to be foreign, but the production value is high and the photos are sharp. The hair makeup and lighting are good and the site design is very good. The price for a monthly membership is under $30 which is a fair price point. The current promotion as of this writing gives the surfer access to all 9 sites int he big boobs network from juggcash for the same price, which is a steal.
Big Tits at school - chics with big tits getting fucked in a college classroom setting - a popular fantasy, lots of videos with different porn stars. The production quality is high and the tour sells well. I believe there are more than 500 free video galleries for the webmaster to promote within this one site alone.
Big tits at work - Big boobs, office setting. I think you can figure that out.
Mommy got boobs - Milfs are popular. Enough said.

pornstars like it big - Hot girls fucking big dicks, giving an excellent view of the pussy and ass penetration. Lots of videos in this site to promote.
Racks and Blacks - Mostly white girls with big boobs getting fucked by black guys. A popular niche!

This is a new site to me, and it looks like it will be a successful porn site for adult webmasters to promote and affiliate with. The site has a sleek design, it’s easy to set up and promote with many options. The content is killer, and I am betting that customer retention is good, and so this may be a good one to rev share with rather than choosing the pay per sign up.
