    Blogs In 2013

    How are you guys doing with your current blogs? Are they holding their weight?

    Do you tend to go for:

    Posts

    - quantity
    - quality

    Actual Blog Domains

    - more sites the better
    - fewer sites the better

    Of course if you don't want to answer, by all means don't, no worries.

    I only have one domain and it makes the odd sale here or there with over 100+ posts on it.

    Yes, a business thread .

    interlink your blogs inside posts and make it look natural, more blogs you have more chances you get success with stuff you promote(adult and mainstream) but be sure that you have time to update and maintain blogs.

      Great thread, I have a question - should we try and go for numbers as in many blogs with a few posts, or rather only a few blogs that are updated daily?

        I was wondering if we should keep updated on as many as possible. Do for a year and re-evaluate to see if it makes sales or not?

        Ideas are flowing, Medium Pimpin would be a great person to chime in on this. I think he was apart of a thread back a number of months ago related to this topic.

            I have one main blog updated regularly and several that are updated on a weekly basis, they get quality targeted traffic that I've built up over a few years for my niche and still convert.

            I go for images/reviews and my own humor to make it a little unique than just an industry update blog etc - I actually enjoy blogging as well as running the websites

              Don't bother writing a lot of text with lots of keywords. Google doesn't give a shit about that.

                  What do you consider quality? In blog terms that's usually tons of text, which doesn't work anymore.
                  The blogs that make me most money are blogs with 1 line of text that took me 20 mins to make.

                    The main slogan of Google now sounds like: "make sites for real people". The one who gets it right, knows how to make good self-populating sites which will be ok with Google.

                    In the post-Panda era Google does not care too much about your content (how big your articles are, how many keywords there etc). The most important factor is your visitors' behavior. If they (the visitors) love your site (bounce rate, on site time, depth of browsing, % of bookmarkers, etc), then Google will automatically consider it "as made for real people" and course it won't remove it from the SERP's.

                    Thus the most important thing is to make the surfers stay at your site longer and come back again and again.

                    Just a year ago it was a common practice to order a bunch of "unique" but boring and useless articles from 3rd-world copywriters and post them to a poor-looking blog with some boring or even default design. Now this won't fly because such sort of site will have an off-scale bounce rate, and site will be automatically penalized by Google as a low quality one.

                    On the other hand, a well-designed self-populating site which syndicates quality and properly sorted content such as images (there are tons of legal sources), videos (even from popular tubes, sponsored XML feeds and other resources that allow embedding), online games etc will catch the surfers for a long time. And nobody will care if your content is "unique" or not. If the visitors love your site then it "made for the real people". Yes, it is that simple!

                    P.P.S. Adapt or die

                        I like how you think! Make it enjoyable.

                        Probably smart to work in niches you enjoy as well.

                          If anyone has any comments to make further on the subject I'm all ears.

                          I think that's right its more appropriate than ever to build a positive user experience.

                              What bounce rate is "good enough" for blog not to be penalized?

                              And do google considers diferent site types, for instance X% bounce rate would be perfect for blog, but just normal for tube and so on.

                                    Who knows... The Google's algo is a secret. Personally I think it takes into the consideration the site types, but it's just my wild guess

                                      I think the algo does have some parity meaning apples to apples and oranges to oranges but not apples to oranges, meaning I think Google compares bounce rates for blogs different than tubes.

                                              If I was Google Id cut all crap you submit to the web honestly, only a site or two delivers.

                                                Good thread...

                                                Less blogs with bigger traffic on each domain, links in posts obviously and quality post! I'm always amaze how some people write stupid shit about me or other girls that don't even make sens just to make a sale...

                                                I have a few fans who came to see me thinking what they read was true and I had to tell them that no it's not

                                                    The blogs that make me most money are blogs with 1 line of text that took me 20 mins to make.
                                                    It's the truth! Make your blogs look good but even if you write just one line of text and don't spend that much time on it or even update it...and you'll still get good love from Google.

                                                      Right. Who can say this blog is not good: http://www.picz.org/? Just as an example. And who cares (knows) that it's not being updated manually? It looks good and it delivers exactly that it has to.

If they (the visitors) love your site (bounce rate, on site time, depth of browsing, % of bookmarkers, etc), then Google will automatically consider it "as made for real people" and course it won't remove it from the SERP's.

                                                          Thus the most important thing is to make the surfers stay at your site longer and come back again and again.
                                                          I have a incredible bouncerate of less then 7%, a good time on site, etc...
                                                          700 typins per day which means that a lot of people know the site and want to
                                                          visit it again... despite of all the good stats google sends me only 20-30 visitors per day.
                                                          When i google some keywords for my niche, the first pages are all filled with dailymotion,
                                                          myvideo.de, youtube and tube-sites... so................................................ .

                                                          If you want traffic from SE you need a free-video-site because that apparently is what people want according to google....

                                                          But hey... that's just my opinion....

                                                                    no one searches for the Term blog. Does that mean that within the search of a keyword that a Blog is not the best result. In some cases it is, in some cases it isnt..

                                                                    Also blog is not what is was 3 or so years ago. Before blog was not only the CMS, but the concept of the site and the site structure. Now you can do anything you want with wordpress. ie Tube Site, Review Site etc. Wordpress is just a CMS now. So someone who says 'Blog' can just mean a wordpress based site.

                                                                    Gawker is a blog. Its one of the biggest sites out there. CBS News uses Wordpress for a ton of there local based sites. etc...

                                                                      Also blog is not what is was 3 or so years ago. Before blog was not only the CMS, but the concept of the site and the site structure. Now you can do anything you want with wordpress. ie Tube Site, Review Site etc. Wordpress is just a CMS now. So someone who says 'Blog' can just mean a wordpress based site.

                                                                      Gawker is a blog. Its one of the biggest sites out there. CBS News uses Wordpress for a ton of there local based sites. etc...

For a small niche I promote the large forums and blogs that had thousands of visitors are now gone from the frontpage while lots of tumblr blogs (with images not vids) take up 3 of the first 6 positions.

                                                                                    And course the structure of WordPress-powered tube is very different to a WordPress-powered blog, pinboard, message board, Q&A site, online store, corporative site, electronic magazine, online gaming site, movie/book catalog, word dictionary or anything else that can be build with WordPress.

                                                                                    Also don't forget that Google extracts videos from WordPress-powered tubes without problems and lists them here: http://www.google.com/videohp?hl=en which is a very good traffic source too after the classic text search

                                                                                            In the post-Panda era Google does not care too much about your content (how big your articles are, how many keywords there etc). The most important factor is your visitors' behavior. If they (the visitors) love your site (bounce rate, on site time, depth of browsing, % of bookmarkers, etc), then Google will automatically consider it "as made for real people" and course it won't remove it from the SERP's.

                                                                                            Thus the most important thing is to make the surfers stay at your site longer and come back again and again.

                                                                                            Just a year ago it was a common practice to order a bunch of "unique" but boring and useless articles from 3rd-world copywriters and post them to a poor-looking blog with some boring or even default design. Now this won't fly because such sort of site will have an off-scale bounce rate, and site will be automatically penalized by Google as a low quality one.

                                                                                            On the other hand, a well-designed self-populating site which syndicates quality and properly sorted content such as images (there are tons of legal sources), videos (even from popular tubes, sponsored XML feeds and other resources that allow embedding), online games etc will catch the surfers for a long time. And nobody will care if your content is "unique" or not. If the visitors love your site then it "made for the real people". Yes, it is that simple!

                                                                                            P.P.S. Adapt or die

Because tube videos are low quality, file lockers are not free. Not every surfer knows how to use torrents. On the other hand, many of them know it's dangerous to download anything copyrighted via torrents, because in this case they are being involved in illegal content distribution and their IP's get exposed to anyone.
