Everything you wanted to know about blogs...

Theres been a ton of posts on here lately about blogs.

Whats the big deal with blogs?

Why do people like them so much?

Is it all buzz /fad or will it be around for awhile?

Do search engines really like them more?

Ive been working blogs as an experiment turned career for a year. And im prepared to answer any questions that i have the answer for regarding blogs. If i cant answer (cause i dont know) I ask the other loggers to chime in with advice.

What are good sources of traffic for mainstream and/or adult blogs? I have a blog that got picked up by a bunch of popular sites recently but now the traffic is dropping back off. I'd like to build it up and keep it steady.

HAHA ok here we go .. BLOG is actually short for weblog, basically an online journal of sorts. Webmasters/People can post there thoughts and links as easily as i posted this (actually easier). They were initially used by writers and press, but with the advent of popular tools like www.blogger.com, regular people could set up a website and update it with whatever they wanted...Basically a CMS.

GENERALLY blogs gather momentum and grow fairly fast simply by linking to other blogs. Many blogs list refers (yes the beginning of ref spam) so when surfers from your site hit the other blogs you end up with surfers back.

The thing with blogs is they create FANS out of your surfers. Bookmarkers are usually plenty, they come back to see the latest, especially if its updated daily or more.

ADULT BLOGS offer even more ways to generate traffic. I have many blogs running a bank of galleries (www.remotethumbs.com) with trade scripts sending to the came niche tgp's and mgp's. Toplists and linklists also will most often link up with you.

You can capitalize on the adult link/trades as well as the blog links..(blogroll and similar) AND the SE traffic. Blogs are fairly easy for the aspiring se guru to mold into traffic/sales machines. Ever see a 2k a day tgp make $400-$500 a week?? (with no popups or installs) heh If you havent you wont be seeing this one either.

Here's question for you
Say I want to start some blogs but I don't want to spenf time writing my own daily rant. I have no problem sending them some traffic to help them grow initially. The question is are there enough adult blogs that make content available in RSS?

The EASIEST way to start and see how blogs run is to use blogger.com. Sign up for an account, then click set up blog. Then you can either use blogspot free hosting or add your own domain and variables (obviously recommended) You then pick a template click done and your bloggin. I usually take the time to do my own html and just use the blog script variables in it. But with the available templates out there (estimate 40-50k) you can surely find one you like and add your banners, galleries, friends whatever you like.

In Settings you can edit alot of features on the blog to do differant things. Be sure to name your pages wisely and set up post pages (every post creates a page).

Simple example
Sexy Balloon

It was set up (with a generic template i had made) a few links added to it to get spidered the first time (why submit when its faster naturally) then i pretty much forgot about it. Its on my plate of things to do or get rid of..lol

BUT its a good example of what you want to do at the start. And how to start easily was answered post above or two.

There is blog directories, blog search engines and also blog toplists. Almost all of them list adult categories.

Also rss/xml feed search sites will list them. Maybe you need to set a directory.

If you are looking to blog. I suggesting buying http://www.movabletype.org or using a free one http://nucleuscms.org/

An example with Nucleuscms is overthemark.com/seoblog

It is pretty clean, can do archives, can insert images, does have seo friendly url's, etc..

I definitely understand the advantages of the weblog over other sites. For instance, this one of mine that got some attention recently made me about $500 on ~12K of traffic. Not too shabby.

Have you ever purchased traffic to jump-start trades from a blog? If so, from whom?

The blogging is just a little side-thing I am playing with but I would like to expand into making more serious money with blogs. What do you find to be the best revenue-generators for adult blogs? Because of the theme of the blog, I am using iFriends on the one I was talking about earlier in the post. I also understand that AdSense can make some decent coin but then you need to select a topic that has a lot of paid links for your surfers to click on.

Some adult blogging tips recently went by on Spanking Blog (which is number one in the Google search results for keyword "spanking", beating out even spanking.com). These are long, but if you aren't friendly with the written word blogs probably aren't gonna be your cuppa tea anyway. Some of these tips aren't for fast buck artists or purely commercial ventures, but they are all interesting:
Quote:
DO: Do blog every day. This doesn't mean you can't miss a day. It just means that, week in and week out, your visitors should find something new every time they come to your site -- so they'll make it part of their daily routine.

DO: Do stick to your theme. If you start, say, footfetishblog.com, then make sure you blog about feet 99 times out of a hundred. Your personal life, insofar as it pertains to feet, is on-topic. Six entries in a row about how your job sucks (unless you sell shoes or do pedicures) probably are not on topic. Too many BDSM-themed blogs degenerate into angst-ridden personal diaries of emotional pain when the people involved are having relationship problems. Resist the temptation to go down that road; it's boring to everyone but you and your closest blog-friends. If you haven't had any hot footjobs lately, don't blog about the lack; instead, for your daily post find somebody on the internet who is having hot foot fun and link to them.

DO: Do make sure you love your theme. If you don't, you'll be bored blogging about it every day. Next thing you know, it will be six weeks since you've posted.

DO: Do plan for the long haul. When you blog, you are building a personal brand. That takes time. If you can't see yourself maintaining your blog in three years, why go to all that effort?

DO: Do make sure you own and control every aspect of your blog. Buy your own domain. Pay for your own hosting, especially for any images you are putting up. (All free image hosting services suck unwashed donkey.) Make sure you control your blog software and that nobody else has a right to syndicate or profit from the text on your blog.

DON'T: Don't use a "blogging service" -- you don't need it, and if your blog is on someone else's domain, you don't really own it. What if they go bankrupt and close their doors? Where is your blog then? Much better to have it on your domain, which you can move to a new host in a few hours if trouble strikes. Or what if your blogging service starts running ugly ads beside your blog posts? Sure, they don't do that now -- but who knows what they'll do after an IPO, two mergers, and a corporate acquisition?

Do: Do blog for the search engines. Which is to say, blog for people who don't know what a blog is, but who would enjoy finding you when they type your theme words into a search engine. How do you do that? It's easy. Get a domain name that incorporates your theme words. If footfetishblog.com is taken, try footfetishes.com or foot-fetish-blog.com or footblog.com or whatever. Make sure "foot fetish" appears in your page title and in your blog title or subtitle. Use HTML the way it was designed; make sure your blog entry titles are surrounded by header tags, and (where possible) make sure they have good keywords. All other things being equal, tomorrow's post will get more search engine visitors over time if you title it "Pretty Feet On The Stairs" than if you title it "I'm Drooling On My Monitor". Google "honest search engine optimization" and follow the advice you'll find.

Do: Do participate in the blogging community. Read the blogs on your blogroll. Blog about what they say, if you have something to add. Leave comments on the blogs you read. This is actually the best way to attract readers when you are just starting out -- people will read your comments and, if they like what you say, they will click through to your blog. The blogger on whose blog you comment will surely click through, and may link you if he or she (a) likes what you are doing and (b) is flattered to discover you are already linking to them. Note well: Leaving stupid comments, or empty "LOL" or "I like this" comments, will not have the same result; people will (rightly) take you for a comment spammer, and will ignore you or delete your comments.

Do: Do have a blogroll. I shouldn't have to say this -- it's included in the previous paragraph. But I do have to say it. I get tons of link requests from "bloggers" who don't link to anybody. They use blog software, and they write something every day, but they don't participate in the blogging community. They don't link to anyone and they don't have a blog roll. I don't understand this mentality. I mean, why would you ask other people to link to you, if you can't be bothered to link to anyone else? I actually know of a fairly good spanking "blog" that does this. They've asked me to link them up, and I'd put them up in the "Spanking Blogs" section in a hot minute -- if only they would participate in the community. But as it is, they want to suck traffic in and not share any back out. Go figure. No matter how good you are, you're never that good.

Do: Do link generously and profligately. When in doubt, link. Link whenever you think your readers would like to visit the site you are linking.

Don't: Don't worry about link backs. If you like a site well enough to link to it, link to it. If you wouldn't link to a site unless they gave you a return link, that means you don't think it has value for your surfers. Which means, it still doesn't, after the backlink. Forget about backlinks. Link for your surfers. You'll be surprised how often you get a backlink anyway.

Do: Do be very wary of negotiated link exchanges. If somebody has already linked to you, and emails you to ask for a return link, try to give their site a fair look. It's polite to reciprocate, but not fair to your surfers if the site sucks. However, if someone emails you about an "exchange of links", but hasn't put your own link up yet, they are telling you "I don't think your site is good enough to link to, but I'll do it anyway if you'll link to me first." Screw that. Half the time, even if you do put up the link, they never reciprocate. But the important point is: they don't respect you enough to link to you. They only want your return link. Again, screw that.

Don't: Don't feel you have to respond to all the link exchange results you will get (and you will eventually start getting dozens every day). First of all, most of them will be automated spams. Do you feel the need to be polite to the electronic robot who telephones you during dinner to sell you car insurance? Me, I just hang up. Second, for your own sanity, you must resist the temptation to try and answer every link request, even the ones that are obviously from humans. Much of the time you would be saying "no" -- and it's incredibly difficult and time-consuming to write polite rejection letters. If you can't say something nice, it's politer and easier to say nothing at all.

Don't: Don't fall into the trap of thinking traffic doesn't matter. It does. Remember, you are building a personal brand, even if you never hope to make a dime from it. That means you want readers, and you want exposure. Again, why bother to blog if nobody reads? It's a lot of time and energy; for most people, the rewards for that include positive feedback from as many real people as possible. Also, if you are blogging about adult topics, the traffic you'll earn has a substantial economic value, because you could sell ads whether you choose to, or not. Eventually, people will start offering you money for your blog and your domain name. There are also practical benefits to having lots of traffic. If you link someone, and their server stats go through the roof, they are more inclined to link back to you.

Don't: Don't advertise at first, even if you eventually decide to do so in order to cover your hosting costs or to make beer money. Blog advertising is very tricky. When in doubt, think twice. Make sure your ads don't overwhelm your blog. You don't want to resemble those plastic commercial "porn blog" horrors exemplified by, say, analsexblog.com. (No link; if you go visit, you'll see why not. Ugh.) If you point your readers to a pay site, be honest. Don't say something empty and plastic and implausible, like "This is the best foot fetish site ever!" Instead, say something real, such as "I like this pay site because the blonde girl that models for them has the prettiest toes -- I'd lick peanut butter off of them all day." (Don't say that, either, unless you actually would.) In the long run, if you are popular, you won't be able to pay for bandwidth without some ads. But don't worry about advertising for the first six months or a year. At first, you won't have enough traffic to make it worth wasting screen space on the ads. Also, many bloggers have a leftish horror of potential profit -- they'll make snide remarks, and not link you, if they spot an advertisement. So you might as well wait until you have plenty of traffic -- leaving ads out of the equation will make it easier to grow at first.

The blogging is just a little side-thing I am playing with but I would like to expand into making more serious money with blogs. What do you find to be the best revenue-generators for adult blogs? Because of the theme of the blog, I am using iFriends on the one I was talking about earlier in the post. I also understand that AdSense can make some decent coin but then you need to select a topic that has a lot of paid links for your surfers to click on.

As far as purchasing traffic. I think your better off having some paid hardlinks on high traffic sites, atleast clicked traffic. Or add your recip to the daily gallery batch (if you do them) And spend some time making the sites SE friendly. I think most importantly is to update frequently, post everyday, if you cant get a webmaster to post his own links etc, build a solid base of quality content pages.

Im just getting into mainstream blogs lately but i see the earning potential with adwords and other similar programs. I think the more specific the blog can be the better its gonna do, and the more its gonna retain its traffic and convert it also.

They are becoming more and more popular with surfers now, its a good time to focus on making them bookmarkers, many are gonna be looking for blogs to read and watch, just cause its the buzz.

I think the mindset of the average smut monger is not gonna be grounds to become a successful blogger and cut a good profit out of one's sites.

You have to be constantly reminded that bloggers are a different breed of surfers. Quality content is a must, and updated. No need for 30+ updates a day, but make the reader's time worthwhile and... most importantly... don't just flood them with gallery links. Otherwise you can just call your site a TGP.

I have a blog that even though I don't post as many sexual stories or photos as I have in the past, still has over 1,200 registered viewers and gets upwards of 40,000 hits per month... and that's without any advertising or pushing....

The key with blogging is quality. I run a few blog that I update maybe once/week. And visiters are bookmarking/staying around. Bloggers are FAR more loyal than tgp surfers. And true, there is some money in blogging, if you go niche...

Quality is definately the word. And what you say about bookmarkers is %100 true. Blogs develope a FAN base...thats 10 times better then a bookmarker.

SO im back at my desk....quiz away!

What blogging software do you think the easiest to customize as far as look and feel go? They all use some sort of theme/template system (the major ones, anyway). I've found that it's difficult to find designers to do custom themes for blog software. I've even offered serious money, and it seems like designers aren't interested. There are tons of posts in blog software support forums wanting custom themes, and rarely does anyone take the jobs. Maybe it's because creating themes is a mix of graphic design and programming in most cases.

Editing the CSS is pretty easy, but doing things like adding a left column or splitting an existing column into two can be pretty hard with some blog software.

It's ok to grab a public domain theme and slap it on your site, but you'll look like 100 other sites..

Also, what do you think of these domain names?

blognudes.com
dailydirtblog.com
hardassblog.com
nudeartblog.com
nudesblog.com
openbsdblog.com
optimizeblog.com
ownedblog.com
psycheblog.com
scummyblog.com
serpsblog.com
sleazyblog.com
vbblog.com
vbdotnetblog.com
bigpimpblog.com
bigpimpinblog.com
gigoloblog.com
guidoblog.com

I use b2Evolution for one of my sites. It's super easy to install and run, and has some unique features, like setting up multiple blogs, etc. Sort of like "sub-blogs" or blogs within a blog. However, it's a little limited in other areas. http://www.genitalhelp.com if anyone wants to see it. yeah - the domain name sucks

IMO, MovableType is the best, not only because of the large support base, good spam/comment options, but because it is one of the few blog systems that automatically applies mod_rewrite to URLs (keyword-rich URLs at that, too).

Can you find a niche within the teen genre? "Teen" is probably the most competetive genre in the adult industry - that or "amateur". It would be hard to be heard through all the noise.
