Filtering traffic to increase sales
Several subjects have come up lately on different boards that are actually related somewhat. These are the question of how best to use the sidebars of feeder blogs, how to drive traffic from a feeder to your main blog, and what is the difference between quality traffic and just traffic.
The three subjects are very much related. Regular traffic is what lands on your feeder blogs to begin with. You use your sidebars to drive that traffic to your main blogs. The more you can "filter" that traffic before it reaches your main blogs determines the "quality" level of the traffic.
As serious surfers (read "possible buyers") become harder to get to your blogs just how you filter your traffic becomes more important. The "tighter" you can make the filtering process the better chance of a sale you have. Some people call this the "Lesbian Midget" theory. Lesbian surfers don’t really buy that much and do not remain around for rebills very often. You might get lucky every once and awhile but, on average, the lesbian niche has become pretty much a "look and see" niche. Unless you can work that traffic down to specific lesbian niches–such as "Lesbian Midget" (and yes I used to promote a Lesbian Midget site) you generally will not see good numbers. Lesbian traffic that is driven to sub and micro niches converts much better than general lesbian traffic.
Filtering is nothing more than getting the surfer to the most micro-niched sponsor site that the surfer’s "general" tastes allow.
So filtering is the first part of the answer to the three subject questions (sidebars, driving feeder traffic, and quality traffic).
I have an extensive filtering network. It was built on a plan and it works for me. I know some other blogmasters it works for and I know some it does not work for. It’s no great secret though. It is simply playing the numbers game (which is what sales really is).
15 Feeder Blogs that are general in nature. Just about any general niche selection can bring you to one of these. Each feeder blog contains links to 8 niche specific blogs (8 because I work with 8 generalized niches).
8 Niche blogs (teen, hardcore, Asian, ethnic, SoloGirls, fetish, high class babes, misc). Each of these blogs contains links to at least 6 sub-niche blogs. Let’s use ethnic as an example. The ethnic niche blog will have links to Latina, Ebony, Euro, Russian, UK, and American sub-niche blogs.
48 sub-niche blogs (minimum of six for each niche blog). Each sub-niche will have links to at least 5 micro-niched blogs. We started looking at ethnic now we continue with a look at Ebony. The Ebony sub-niche blog will have links on it to micro-ebony niches (ebony solo girls, ebony hardcore, ebony lesbians, ebony BBWs, ebony interracial). Micro-niches can be broken down into micro-micro-niches as well (example–ebony solo girls can have links leading to ebony porn stars, ebony solo amateurs, ect).
240 + micro niche blogs. If possible these need to have no more than 3 paysites represented on them (one is better).
That is my base traffic system. A minimum of 311 blogs to set it up. And to that 311 you keep adding more sub and micro niches as needed. (I have 380 blogs now and will be at 400 by June).
With that number of blogs you control the outbound links to such an extent that 95% of them belong to you (or your sponsors). This means that you have a 95% chance of filtering the surfer deeper into the niche net without him being able to escape unless he closes his browser. This means you have him locked where there is a good chance he will filter himself into something that he really likes. When the surfer finaly sees something he likes you have a good chance of closing the sale. In effect you have taken general traffic and created quality traffic out of it.
And if you do not have 311 blogs to work with? Build your empire niche by niche. In the above example you could have 10 feeder blogs leading to 1 ebony niche blog leading to 6 ebony sub-niche blogs. You could start the process with 17 blogs and add the micro-niche blogs as you get time. Or 5 feeders, 1 niche and 3 sub-niches. 9 blogs. The point is to filter your traffic as much as YOUR empire allows. The more you filter the traffic the better chance of a sale you have.
Can’t handle 17 blogs at once? Of course you can. And YES this is a shameless plug. Using a feed service like ours you can build 17 blogs and have them posting for a year or more in less than 24 hours.
Once you have a way to filter your traffic then driving that trafic to where you need it to be is easy. Sidebars make it fun as well. They are the next topic.

What to do when a sponsor doesn’t want to pay you?
I made enough sales for a payout but never got any money.
I tried to contact them via e-mail (because that’s the only contact info they have available on their site) but they never replied!
The sponsor is DeniseMasinoVIP.com | The Affilate Program
So what should I do now?

DAMN YOU PORN TUBES!!!!! – Experts Warn Internet Is Running Out of Bandwidth
Damn you porn tubes…..damn you!!!!!
Interesting article, let it die a quick death if it’s already been around once.
http://technology.timesonline.co.uk/…cle6169488.ece
Quote: Internet users face regular “brownouts” that will freeze their computers as capacity runs out in cyberspace, according to research to be published later this year.
Experts predict that consumer demand, already growing at 60 per cent a year, will start to exceed supply from as early as next year because of more people working online and the soaring popularity of bandwidth-hungry websites such as YouTube and services such as the BBC’s iPlayer.
It will initially lead to computers being disrupted and going offline for several minutes at a time. From 2012, however, PCs and laptops are likely to operate at a much reduced speed, rendering the internet an “unreliable toy”.
When Sir Tim Berners-Lee, the British scientist, wrote the code that transformed a private computer network into the world wide web in 1989, the internet appeared to be a limitless resource. However, a report being compiled by Nemertes Research, a respected American think-tank, will warn that the web has reached a critical point and that even the recession has failed to stave off impending problems.

“With more people working or looking for work from home, or using their PCs more for cheap entertainment, demand could double in 2009,” said Ted Ritter, a Nemertes analyst. “At best, we see the [economic] slowdown delaying the fractures for maybe a year.”
In America, telecoms companies are spending ?40 billion a year upgrading cables and supercomputers to increase capacity, while in Britain proposals to replace copper cabling across part of the network with fibreoptic wires would cost at least ?5 billion.
Yet sites such as YouTube, the video-sharing service launched in 2005, which has exploded in popularity, can throw the most ambitious plans into disarray.
The amount of traffic generated each month by YouTube is now equivalent to the amount of traffic generated across the entire internet in all of 2000.
The extent of its popularity is indicated by the 100 million people who have logged on to the site to see the talent show contestant Susan Boyle in the past three weeks.
Another so-called “net bomb” being studied by Nemertes is BBC iPlayer, which allows viewers to watch high-definition television on their computers. In February there were more than 35 million requests for shows and iPlayer now accounts for 5 per cent of all UK internet traffic.
Analysts express such traffic in exabytes – a quintillion (or a million trillion) bytes or units of computer data. One exabyte is equivalent to 50,000 years’ worth of DVD-quality data.
Monthly traffic across the internet is running at about eight exabytes. A recent study by the University of Minnesota estimated that traffic was growing by at least 60 per cent a year, although that did not take into account plans for greater internet access in China and India.
While the net itself will ultimately survive, Ritter said that waves of disruption would begin to emerge next year, when computers would jitter and freeze. This would be followed by “brownouts” – a combination of temporary freezing and computers being reduced to a slow speed.
Ritter’s report will warn that an unreliable internet is merely a toy. “For business purposes, such as delivering medical records between hospitals in real time, it’s useless,” he said.
“Today people know how home computers slow down when the kids get back from school and start playing games, but by 2012 that traffic jam could last all day long.”
Engineers are already preparing for the worst. While some are planning a lightning-fast parallel network called “the grid”, others are building “caches”, private computer stations where popular entertainments are stored on local PCs rather than sent through the global backbone.
Telephone companies want to recoup escalating costs by increasing prices for “net hogs” who use more than their share of capacity.
