This niche has also been successful in driving 12% more female sign ups than any other niche. We recommend trying the niche with dedicated sites for each interest to maximise your revenue in this niche. Speak to your account manager to get more details.

We have also been working with the bisexual niche and have shown success through the testing of male and female landers. The landers are optimised through keywords, imagery and web copy. This test has shown that in the UK: 70%, Canada: 77.5% and Australia:92% of registrations are on the male optimised lander. Using this insight, we have been targeting the gay male market through bisexual landers. We have seen success with this approach achieving an upgrade rate of 6.2%.
