Face Matching can Benefit Affiliates
By Erika Icon
YNOT – Naughty America is hoping an unconventional website will revolutionize the way people search for porn — and in the process, give affiliates another promotional tool.
Face.NaughtyAmerica.com uses facial-recognition software to match any photo with an adult performer who looks similar. Users simply visit the site and upload an image. In return, the site presents them with the five closest matches from among Naughty America’s talent. The studio’s library houses nearly 5,000 porn videos and 2,000 performers, so chances are excellent nearly any photo will return intriguing explicit matches.
Those who don’t want to or can’t use the site’s upload function may email their images to [email=face@naughtyamerica.com]face@naughtyamerica.com[/email]. There’s also a mobile interface, so snapping random hotties at bars, shopping malls, airports or any other public place is an option, as well.
Naughty America President Eddie Arenas vowed the site is safe to use. Email addresses aren’t shared with third parties, and malware and spam aren’t threats.
He also said the facial-recognition site will benefit affiliates of the Naughty Revenue program by encouraging users to visit more sites in the Naughty network. Each performer match returned by the software comes complete with links to the performer’s videos. And users return to the product over and over, according to Arenas.
“Other programs focus solely on converting and taking your traffic,” he said. “Naughty Revenue wants its affiliates to make money as well as build traffic to their websites. Our face match tool is a great example of this. It’s fun and innovative and keeps visitors coming back. Every time a user finds a hot girl on Facebook, they will think of submitting her face to our face match tool on the affiliate’s website. It’s great, and we have many more tools like this in our pipeline.”
Of course, users must agree to certain terms and conditions. They give Naughty America the display rights to images they submit. Users also agree to not say negative things about the site or the performers represented on the site.
Arenas said the company is refining the first-generation software to make it easier for affiliates to integrate the product into their marketing strategies. Naughty America also is working with partners to produce even more toys.
