If you missed this week’s ABC special on “The Outsiders” bemoaning the plight of porn stars you probably don’t know what all this fuss is about. My last post about the show took the form of advice to Sophia Lynn, struggling porn stars and those wanting to become starlets.

This morning I overheard my co-workers talk about another starlet featured in the show, and it reminded me of the old adage…”there’s no such thing as bad press.” Sunny Lane was so adorable in the series, and she never went to the place that Sophia did. They even interviewed her almost overly-supportive parents and tried their best to paint this family in a negative light. But you see, you can’t stop porn, pornographers, adult business owners and especially….those of us who consume porn. The negative spin they put on the story did not have a negative effect on sales of Sunny Lane products. In fact, Gamelink is her store partner, and her sales went through the roof!

[Now, if you haven’t seen what Sunny Lane left on the casting couch yet, you gotta see this to know the secret to getting featured on prime time. But that’s a whole other blog post.]

The cool thing about this story is that not only Sunny and her parents benefit, but any of our affiliates can benefit from the bad press the adult biz got on prime time this week. Here’s how: go to google and set up an alert for keywords porn, porn star, and related keywords. Have it email you an alert whenever these keywords are searched for, and use the option “as it happens.”

If there is a specific pornstar mentioned in an article or other media, you can take advantage of that press, good or bad. The key is to post one of the first blogs that mentions that star just afterwards, with a direct link to their titles in Gamelink’s extensive VOD, VHS, or DVD catalog. The link above is an example of deep linking to our exclusive editorial content about a star like Sunny.
