This just goes to show that sometimes you can overthink things when you’re dealing with Google.
My latest blog venture started about 17 days ago. As I usually do, I thought about a keyword phrase to target and eventually decided on the phrase "Mexican Porn". I went ahead and bought three domains "mexican-porn" for .net, .org and .info. I figured I would create one main blog on the .net and the other two I would try my hand at splogging and create feeder splogs that also strengthened the backlinks on my main blog.
I was now ready to pursue my objective of conquering the world of Mexican Porn and began to create my new blog. I pulled all the stops including writing tons of new posts making sure to keep the keyword density between five and six percent for my keywords, "Mexican" and "Porn". After getting my blog where I wanted it, I submitted it to all the ABC Blog Directories I could think of, added some linkbacks, registered to the search engines and feedburner, created sitemaps and everything else I could possibly think of to help this blog along
After all the time and effort I put into that blog I was now finally ready to tinker around with a splog. So, I got on the .org domain I had purchased and began starting a splog called "Mexican Teen Porn". I installed a theme, added a couple of feeds and linked the blog to my other blogs. Then I completely left it alone. I didn’t optimize this blog at all. Hell, I didn’t even register it to any SE’s. It was basically just left there as an experiment to see if the feed program I was using was working okay.
So, it’s been about two weeks since I did all that. It took longer than usual for my main blog to get indexed, but it finally did. I’ve been checking lately to see how well I was indexed for my two keywords I set out for and I was not even close (as expected since the blog is brand new).
Then low and behold, today Google has PR update so I pull up all my sites to see what’s changed and sure enough my new Mexican Porn blog is now a whopping PR2. "Awesome!" I thought. Surely that must have had some effect on my placing on google, so I typed in the keywords "mexican porn" and started to look for my site. I get to page 6 and there it was at the very top! Only, it’s not my main blog. It’s my fucking splog!!! I’m thinking to myself "wtf? …well, okay. Surely my main blog is right behind it then" so I continue searching…
and searching…
and searching…
and then FINALLY in the middle of page 24 between two pages that had nothing to do with the subject I find my blog. My recently turned PR2, HANDWRITTEN blog that has been dedicated to the topic of Mexican Porn and has been "optimized" for those specific keywords is now sitting in the middle of page 24 between two completely insignificant pages. While my splog, which I spent maybe 2 hours on and forgot about is already enjoying a page 6 ranking.
All I can say is…
Wow, I suck! LOL

What a shock I had this week, a friend of mine told me to look at a clip on RedTube. It was a 24 minute video of live chat, strip, masturbation and fingering for a model that usually costs $3.74 per minute to take private.
When I checked with Streammate about the origin of the video, they replied
"Thanks for your message. The video in question is being used as a promotion for an authorized reseller of streamate.com." Of course, i replied…
I can only say I’m surprised. If you mean to tell me that you allow 24 minutes of stripping, nude masturbation and fingering to be copied from yours, or any other webcam site?
That leads to the question - "How the heck is an Affiliate supposed to sell your Pay Per Minute program if you allow it to be copied and displayed for free?"I went through the site and found quite a few more. No wonder my sales for Streammate are sucking wind. "Why pay for the cow if you can get the milk for free."
Obviously, theres no need for me to market that program any longer.

We are heading out to vegas next month, the 6-11 to have some fun and shoot some content. It is amazing the amount of models that are in Vegas looking for work. I ran an ad here in town (Phx) last week on craigs list, got 3 replies so far. I decided to run an ad today in Vegas and in about 5 hours or less I have had 22 replies.
Looks like we are going to be busy….Vegas rocks

If that bailout doesn’t pass to bring liquidity back to the credit markets…
We’re going back to stone age folks.
Now I am not a fan of the tax payer footing the bill.. although I completely disagree with it being called a “bailout” as its an investment the fed is making on the tax payers behalf… but regardless…the alternative is absolute catastrophe.
If the bill doesn’t pass this weekend….
all hell is going to break loose next week and the consequences for the economy in the long run is 1000s of companies going belly up as the debt markets will be completely illiquid. Ted spreads will be bigger than we’ve ever seen… just brutal!
I for one am sh!t scared at the moment!

Who do you think will go out of business or sell their position before January 1st?
Place your bets here…
I think some big guys are going to get out and go mainstream, especially with Visa about to pull a clusterfuck on the industry.
…..Oh and if you own a big TGP/MGP site and want to get out the business and you have decent traffic (100k U.V.+ a day) hit me up, I may just help you retire….

Signups are like a roller coaster here (up and down from day to day), but overall it looks a bit lower (3-6%).
Anyone want to share their point of view after taking a look at their stats?
