Voyeurs, Porn, Art or the Internet?

The acceptable age of voyeurism?


Inspired by a babysitter he surprised in front of the bathroom mirror shooting pictures of herself with his Polaroid, the photographer Uwe Ommer decided to put together a book of erotic self-portraits by inexperienced photographers. The cast of self-portraitists includes a wide range of personalities, from students to artists, actors, stylists, dancers, models, musicians, teachers, and more...but is this art or an example of exhibitionism? Do they all secretly want to be porn stars or webgirls? The digital age of voyeurism has become a comfortably familiar staple of mas culture. The media feeds us the intimate details of tenuously famous personalities, elevating them to celebrities. Scantily-clad college students set up Web cams in their dorms and voyeurs across the world pay to watch them clean their bathroom and lounge around in bed. Do they want to expose their bodies to turn people on? Or is this exploitationism (of who)? Or is this a shout out to girls to Do It Yourself?

The Internet is a tool that connects you with businesses and people and smart businesses, communicate with their clients directly, pulling in the voyeurs and boosting their sales; they stay in front of the curve and their rivals. All this is achievable by using the Internet to its full marketing, and interaction potential. Try your hand at real search engine optimisation, look at your site and fix those broken links, update the content, sort out the keywords and phrases. Harnessing the power of the Internet to improve your website’s rank in the search engine results pages is a way to achieve your dreams. Don't be content with just having 'lookers' or 'peepers', be more positive and proactive with your time, improve and inspire, corral your visitors and steer them towards your products. Create a cage that keeps them locked into your site; tame them so they don't want to leave. Set your traps carefully and take money from your visitors.

Art history lists dozens of examples of 'fine art' that crosses the dubious line between art and pornography. Some of the most famous paintings in the world were originally little more than naughty pictures for very rich men. The act of looking or 'peeping' was undertaken for the purpose of achieving some sort of sexual excitement. The observer generally did not seek to have sexual contact with the real person being observed. Artists purposely cross the line but intellectualize it away. Peudo-artistic photography magazines produce porn and use the art tag as a disguise. Nothing changes.

OutsiderInternet .com have several hosting and managing options available. We can even help with 'search engine rankings':

Search Engines consider a number of factors when ranking websites. One important factor is 'links' from other websites each link validates your website. The more ‘clicks’, the larger the perceived trust and importance your website implies. This in theory, will increase its ranking.

Have you have found this site, by using a search engine?


Have you have found this site, by using a search engine? …. Then we have done our job correctly - our rankings or domain stratagem has worked. SEO entrepreneurialism is all about getting the major search engines to prioritize your site. It is incomprehensible how many millions of owners of websites out there want (or need) a significant ranking presence on the primary search engines. It is therefore impossible for everyone to be in the top ten search terms for their product, service or business.

You have to create a drama with your website - its content has to be dramatic and awesome. Walk into a church and soak in the imagery and mystery, then go home and try to recreate a similar experience in a website - it is not easy!

The rules that apply to terrestrial businesses still apply to the virtual word of the internet. Your website is a window for the world to look through. Marketing is the art of selling things. Getting things seen and viewed correctly is an important part of on line selling. Taking tips from the real world - retail shop displays and visualizing layouts of products and aisle layouts are the best ways to envisage an online shopping experience. Optimizing visual layouts is a key to success, the words wrapped around the images help to describe the virtual product to the viewer in the real world.
