      Most blogs look a like and have that standard WP lay out. Most of those blogs make zero to none revenue. So if you want to start a blog you need to be original in design, niche and content. Perhaps than you stand a fighting chance..

        How do you know this? I make blogs with a very plain simple layout and they make sales, I don't even update them that often. Granted I don't use WP though.

          Is unprotected sex still a good idea? Not always, it depends who Vagina you stick it in. Same goes for blogs.

          To answer your question it's VERY FUCKING HARD to get past month #2 on your members sub using a blog.. Best to stick with PPS and have your content King.

              there are just soooooo many blogs.

              99.999999% look rubbish.

              even the ok ones load so slow.

              in fact its worse with the popular blogs. i find it takes ages for a page to load.

                It's pretty easy to get mainstream traffic to a porn blog. Use a non porn name for the site and talk about popular mainstream topics almost all the time. Lace your site with porn and you'll win.

                  is there anyway to do sex topic blogs like this without being seen as porn?

                    there are so many amazing themes out there, so many different ways things can be implemented, be it site structure, use of plugins etc...

                    take a look at some mainstream wp site showcases and use them as inspiration, not some rss fed pos splog

                      The posts would have to be purely about mainstream topics. Example, I've been talking about Bin Laden on mine, as well as the iPhone tracking issue.

                        Do amazing themes make more sales? Not being argumentative, I'd genuinely like to know.

                          Just start pumping them out on free hosts. Then look at the ones that work and buy domains for these.

                            Focus on luring in mainstream, it's the future.

                              Amazing is not the word. A clever theme is much more effective. Most webmasters do not have a clue how to blog for adult.

                                I've discovered that it doesn't mind if you have a custom design or a free template. Surfers don't care too much about design, they care about content. It's us who care about design, not the surfers.

                                      Surfers yes, bookmarkers no. Not really about the design though, but the ease of access to content/UI.

                                        Blogs are good; templates should be customized but as Rochard said content is what really matters.

                                        I use really minimal designs and make them even lighter so the load is faster.

                                        Also, you don't want to use too many scripts (ads, picture of the day etc.) because they can mess with pageloads.

                                          by amazing I do not necessarily mean the design or look but above all the usability

                                          If I have to click to see each image in full, if fonts are ugly and hard to read, if the navigation is complicated without a clear structure etc... then very likely the theme has missed the point and surfers are not going to hang around for long

                                          I have plenty of shitty looking sites too that have great usability, putting the content at the forefront of what the surfer takes in...

                                          instead of pagination try endless scroll, and work your pitch around that

                                            Yes, blogs still are good for me. But nowadays they are not as good as they used to be unfortunately.

                                                  zero to no revenue, why make them then?

                                                  most of the ones I make do a min of 1k revenue a month.

                                                    There are other reasons to build blogs besides making sales too.

                                                      I've found that most of my blogs that has the lowest bounce rate, are the ones installed with the old default theme. Go figure.
