Folks, pay attention, and look at Darrell's blog. The holy grail of adult blogging (and the reason you ought to be wanting to get in on the act) is getting links and traffic from real, text-oriented noncommercial bloggers. That's traffic from outside the porn world, and though it's smarter less spendy trafic than I'd like, it's at least not exhausted from seeing a barrage of xxx advertising.

Darrell's blog comes closer than any of the other GFY efforts I've seen to being capable of getting those "non-porn blogger" links.

It's texty, the advertising is discrete, and the blogroll looks plausible.

Now, having said that, Darrell may be wondering "Forkbeard, I linked to your blog, why no return link?" Fair question.

Answer: there's still no human voice to "Justine". That's a writing issue, and I'm not enough of a writer or editor to know how to fix it. But the blog still reads more like an issue of Penthouse Forum than anything human and natural.

No slam, just one man's reaction. Your mileage may vary. And folks should pay attention, because Darrell is going at this in something very close to the right way.
Hi Forkbeard. Thanks for taking the time to look at my blog. Justine really does write the text and stories for the blog and we were trying to make it kinky with sex stuff she has done that day etc.. I guess that's why it reads like a Penthouse Forum.

Do you think it would be better if she writes about films she likes or has seen, or her views on world politics, or books she has read etc.? We did think about doing that, but thought kinky would be better. But we are happy to change direction with the chat if it would make the blog more succesful in the long run.

Any input would be appreciated.

Thanks
