Traffic sources

  • January 8, 2009

Ok,
The following link lists all the top social bookmarking sites
http://www.ebizmba.com/articles/social30
Now it seems to me on alot of these sites we can create a profile and within our profile add links to our blogs. Although we cannot really participate in these social sites as we are promoting porn and this is usually against the TOS.
So i assume the purpose is via our profiles being present on all these high ranked sites we add backlinks to our blogs in the hope that SEO will pick them up.
So we are not expecting traffic to come from these sites themselves, just that we have scattered more backlinks to our blogs across the internet?
Is this correct? And is it worth it?

Linking to blog posts - duplicate content

  • November 2, 2008

Probably an unnecessary question, but I still wonder whether it won’t be rated as duplicate content if a link uses the same phrase as the blog post you link to? As it is with myfeedlist or feedburner for example.

Less people are searching for porn?

  • September 21, 2008

Here’s an interesting article about the new book "Click: What Millions of People are Doing Online and Why It Matters".
I read a review for this book a few weeks back and wondered if any research was done on adult search trends. It looks like they did come to some findings about porn searches:
From this article in Reuters:
Quote: Social networking sites are the hottest attraction on the Internet, dethroning pornography and highlighting a major change in how people communicate, according to a web guru.

Tancer, general manager of global research at Hitwise, an Internet tracking company, said one of the major shifts in Internet use in the past decade had been the fall off in interest in pornography or adult entertainment sites.
He said surfing for porn had dropped to about 10 percent of searches from 20 percent a decade ago, and the hottest Internet searches now are for social networking sites.
"As social networking traffic has increased, visits to porn sites have decreased," said Tancer, indicated that the 18-24 year old age group particularly was searching less for porn.
"My theory is that young users spend so much time on social networks that they don’t have time to look at adult sites." Vote for this story

Length of subdomain?

  • August 25, 2008

Hello everyone! I love AWG. It’s just like living in a small community, everyone is so friendly and willing to help out.
Anyhow, I’m looking for some advice on a character limit for a subdomain. I have one in mind that consists of 26 characters. When I look at it, it looks too long, so I figured I better get the experts opinion before putting it in stone.

Linking to a forum to promote a blog

  • July 28, 2008

This may be a totally weird question since I’m new to all this, but I have a blog that is in a rather nichey area (enemas) and I know that there are people out there totally into this particular activity. However, as easy as it might seem at first glance, it’s difficult to really promote my blog on other people’s forums without being accused of spamming and the usual stuff. Do any of you use external forums (free) that you link your blog to, to serve as a communications forum/promo tool for your blog? Especially if youre trying to reach a specific community who would spread the word about your blog? Or is this a waste of time that would drain precious time away from updating/running the blog itself. Forums are a pain (need to be moderated, etc) and constantly monitored. Are there any good free adult forum hosting services to set up a simple, easy to use forum that I could link one of my blogs to? Again, hope this isn’t a totally dumb question but just trying to form some type of community out there in cyberspace that I think would lead to sales/interest….thanks again for your help/ideas on this…

The Future of Internet Porn?

  • July 22, 2008

With all these tube sites that give surfers virtually unlimited porn, along with sites like myfreepaysite.com, which gives members tons of content in exchange for an email address, I worry that we’re all on the losing side of a trend in which we try to get people to pay for porn that they simply no longer have to pay for.
Logic would dictate that we grasp onto our niches, knowing that people will still pay for material not readily accessible. But, it won’t be long before the youporns and redtubes become shemaletubes, etc. offering niche material. Paysites are stuggling with this new landscape, and unless something is done about shady tubesites, we are all asking something of surfers that is unrealistic: "please pay for your porno?"
So, the question I’m asking is how do we adapt? Rather than being on the losing side of a downward trend, and rather than creating blogs for ever-increasing, yet limited, niches, like "Pregos with strapons who fuck trannies in barns," how can we adjust to a new reality where full scenes and full movies are available to surfers completely free?

The top 4 Glamour sponsors

  • July 22, 2008

Just a few words concerning the "big 4" of Super Model Glamour sites. The below info is complied strickly from my personal experiences and observations concerning these sponsors.
Let’s look at the "Quality Super Model Babe" sponsors. (I use all four of the top four).
You have:
Met-Art
MPL Studio Cash
Bumble Cash (M&B Girls)
Medium Pimpin (Glamour Models Gone Bad)
(There are others [Playboy,Hustler,Penthouse] but they just do not have the click pulling power of the top four.)
Content quality is damn near the same on all of them. They spend some bucks on thier product and none of the girls look bad at all. From the surfer’s point of view—it’s all quality pink on the inside.
But there are some differences from the WM point of view.
Met-Art. Over exposed is just too tame a phrase.Google Met-Art galleries and you get 2,410,000 to choose from. That’s a lot. And a good half or more of the Met-Art sites out there never get listed. And the site is not what it once was. Pressure and 2257 forced a lot of the material out and the marketing concept to change. A few people do very good with Met-Art. A few. Most just send clicks for nothing. Someone once described Met-Art to me this way–"It’s the sponsor that everyone hooks up with when they first get into the business because it is the safest looking naughty product out there." I agree with that.
Here is a typical Met-Art gallery.Over 7 years with Met-Art I have managed to gather 4 sales. I do not push them hard (never had) simply because everybody else is pushing them hard. I do have a blog dedicated to Met-Art that sees one new post a day with a new gallery–but it is the blog that gets looked at closely every quarter with the view of shutting it down or changing it’s focus.
MPL Studio Cash. Not nearly as over exposed but also not nearly as quality packed. Sort of like the difference between a Dillard’s Store and A Sear’s. Both have pretty much the same thing but the quality is just a bit off. And to me that difference is what keeps MP Studios from converting much better than it does.Also not helping is that design wise the two tend to be almost mirror images. When you see an MPL gallery you are sub-consciously looking at a Met-Art gallery.
Here is a typical MPL Studios gallery. 5 years with MPL has netted 7 sales. That’s 5 years of sporadic promotion. I started using them for galleries I was submitting to TGPs. But it didn’t take long to notice that every time a new gallery came out a few hundred people were submitting it the same place I was. What I have NOT done is try a blog dedicated to MPL. That night work if you could get past the Met-Art complex thing.
Bumble Cash. The primary marketing site for Bumble Cash is Mac & Bumbles. Definately different from the first two in that M&B features pornstars along with exclusive girls. They seem to have a more modern feel to their sites and they do appeal to a younger surfer (18 to 26 I believe is the target range). It seems to work well for them. An added plus is that M&B is way UNDER used on the net in general and especially in blogs. Even though some of the girls are industry standards the content is new to a lot of blogwhackers. In addition to that–M&B uses mainly American girls—not European.
Here is a typical M&B gallery. You can easily see the difference in the gallery samples and also the marketing concepts employed. My M&B blog will produce a 4 figure income yearly and a lot of the conversions are "quarterly" which pay out at 45.00. I have been with Bumble Cash for 6 years and it has been profitable all the way.
Medium Pimpin. Originally known as "Glamour Models Gone Bad" featuring a site of that name and one called Amateurs Gone Bad. The original concept was girls who went west to be "stars" and ended up being porn feed. Really successful. They have since morphed into Medium Pimpin and have added 14 more sites over the last few years (most of them solo-girl type). The majority of their content is American Girls and the quality is equal to that of the other three mentioned here. Medium Pimpin is a bit more Hardcore based though. Where the others focus on basically grace and beauty Pimpin will focus on sex with the grace and beauty there as a prop.
Here is a typical Medium Pimpin gallery. I have been with them for 6 years and usually pull 6 to 10 sales a year. This is another sponsor that is way underused in blogs and I think a blog dedicated to each of their sites would work well.
Anybody wanting a link to these sponsors just say so and I will post one here. Sub-affiliate help is available of course.
