Yeah ... I was asking about that because mine got shut down. I believe, according to the copy/paste email they sent me that it was because of affiliate marketing even though I had no aff links in my Tumblr blog and the links out led to more of the same content the surfer was looking at with some ads at the bottom.

Either way ... thanks.

They give you the option to share your data with them or not. Do you think they peek regardless of whether or not you check the box?

Do you really need an answer for this ? Your privacy is safe with google ? :)

I would bet on yes

Great thread and info.. From all I have read google is trying to give the best user experience and when you do a site with that in mind they seem to continue to like you. I love freeones and am on it daily they are a great model of what a site should do (just wish they would accept more of my galleries).. Also pointed out I need to look more into Barelist..

keep pumpin sir!!!

1. Freeones working with anchor text in gallery submission. Free Porn, Teen Porn etc. they were hit by a LB penalty

2. Duplicate content sitewide. I saw co.uk, .de, .eu, .net, .ch, at, ru, tw, all with the same content. Even ips were indexed completely.

3. Outbound and affilate links. Time on site and bounce rates are the big factors today. Tubes are on top because people spending time watching videos for minutes. Freeones is a. full of affiliate links, b. the bounce rate is very high because people leaving freeones with every click on a gallery, c. they have and ever had very poor content.

To be serious. The only reason why i visit freeones is to get information about a pornstar copy it and build rich content out of it.

Update: Since the month and a half I wrote our last post in this thread, our G. traffic is right back where it was before it dropped off a cliff. Within a hundred of the most we've got from them. We'll probably pass that mark next week. Hope FreeOnes is seeing the same trend.

Here is our trends on G over the past few years:

How do we get www.pornstarplatinum.com listed with you guys if we aren't already. We are right up your alley for pornstars!

Hey Peter, same with us. We have experienced consistent growth now for a dozen years. I think in a lot of cases, people hit the panic button much too quickly.

For me, a better use of our time is to focus on user experience and content production versus stressing over the algorithm-panic-du-jour. There will always be fluctuations, but things generally always go back to normal. I'd be surprised if FreeOnes has not started to see a rebound by now as well.

It looks like tey have by the various way you can track other people websites, good for them:thumbsup

Jay - Have your stuff on there, mainly on the models you have sites for. One thing I can think of off the top of my head is that the video updates you post in your mailers all have the same splash screen (poster), would really help with us putting them on the site if you had an individual image for each video.

i.e. Same splash image...

Rob - Haven't forgot what we spoke about a while back. Working on getting that all into place. Sort of morphed into a big hairy monster of a project. I'll clue you into it as I get closer to launch... will solve a lot of issues I perceive with Barelist :)

You are right. We will take that into consideration. Thanks.

Jay

BTW: Just passed our most G uniques yesterday...

Freeones? I prefer smartones!
