Can I monetize this sort of website with CPA?

Hi, I have a 'pictures of normal beautiful women' website and big Facebook page that has a lot of pictures of attractive woman shot candid-style on the street (I own all copyrights). There's no overt sexualization of the subjects, or invasion of privacy but I believe the visitors considers it pornographic material for their 'fetish' - but it is literally just pictures of random woman wearing normal clothes in public, all shot legally.

The site is pretty popular but I can't make much money from it using ads and I'd really like to try a content locker from CPAlead or similar on the images. Do you think I would get banned for this? Has anybody successfully used similar incentives? I'd rather use surveys or other traditional CPA stuff than any adult offers, as the visitors don't have a taste for regular pornography, clearly.

Thank you for any help,

    Dating ads aren't really the direction I want to head with this site. At the moment it doesn't use any sexual references at all (uses beautiful instead of hot, etc.) and I'd like to keep all the advertising sexually neutral.

    That's why I'm wondering about content lockers and CPA, I have very small conversions from Clickbank banners and think my content is desired enough that a content locker would be effective.

    Basically my question is this: would CPA networks who offer content lockers see this sort of incentive to be as bad as 'regular' porn incentives or would they accept it as a similar concept to 'fill out this survey to see pictures of pretty cats' type incentives?

    Thank you,

    What kind of specific content do you plan on locking?
    Just pictures of the women?

      I'm thinking of having the video downloads/streams locked. The pictures are mostly screencaps of the videos. It still will not have any overtly sexual content, but clearly the only reason people would want to watch them is because they consider it sexual. Would I be taking a risk locking this sort of content using CPA Lead or similar?

        Well from the way you describe it, my personal opinion is that it won't convert well. There is little to no incentive to unlock the content in my opinion.

    If your site has content related to ExBack / Dating niche, I don't see your account getting banned for such weird reasons.

    If you want to monetize your so-called pornographic pics of women, you should look out for CPA networks that allows adult material and with content locker or gateway link shortener (which cannot be bypassed easily by the viewers).

    Both Adscendmedia and BlamAds have gateway link shorteners, but I don't think they accept adult material (even if its copyright).

    The only niche that matches your site is dating.

    BTW, dating niche has nothing to do with sexual orientation.

    Yes, I agree with fellow warriors. Try some of the dating offers on neverblue or maxbounty. Look at the epc and if it's reasonably high, add the banners on your site.

      If your site doesn't contains any Adult pictures then you can of course monetize you site with CPA offers. You can promote dating or fashion related offers on your site.

    Since its pretty popular as you say...and visitors don't have a taste for regular porno...
    I think you try to test at least 3 traditional CPA offers like gift cards and see what converts most from that site. Testing is what you need. You may want also to advertise your fanpage and target a certain demographic like maybe males aging 18-34 then see which offers converts well for them and then keep what works.

    Good luck.

    Dating and 'get some abs' style weight loss offers would probably do well.
