Getting More Sales From Your Old Blog Posts by Caligari

What's that you ask? How do I get more sales from old blog posts? They're dead and gone right?

Wrong!

This thread is intended to show how both newbies and veterans alike can milk those sweet extra sales from your older blog posts by RECYCLING.

Sure recycling is good for the earth, but it's also good for porn.

We are going to start off with our fictional blog mysuperpornblog dot com

With this blog you have made some good sales in the past and of course you have bookmarked or catalogued the posts/galleries from whence sales came from right?

If not you need to do this. It may sound very basic but you'd be surprised at how many webmasters don't take the time to build a list of their successful sale generating blog posts and their associated galleries.

So you just made a few sales with mysuperpornblog dot com/big-tit-girls-jogging.html and you think you have a winning blog post you can generate more sales from.

Do NOT jump the gun and simply copy this post and put it on other blogs. You will risk the rather of content duplication which could affect your SE rankings.

Instead, copy that blog post and MORPH IT into another blog post on another blog. This means re-saving the image/video and naming it something else and at the very least re-writing the blog post with different keywords and phrases throughout as well as giving the post a new title based upon the new keywords you are using.

so now you have another blog which has a post called
[url]myotherpornblog dot com/huge-breasted-babes-running.html

By doing this you should have a sufficiently different post you can now use to see if you can score yet more sales with essentially the same post.

BUT-

What if you have a proven winning post that you want to use again on the SAME blog because you know you will generate more sales from that blog?

Patience! Don't post it again in a week, you need to bide your time to re-post that sweet money maker on the same blog.

I personally wait a good 4 to 6 weeks before going back to my LIST of sales generating blog posts in order to re-post on the very same blog, and once again I re-name the image/video and change the keywords, phrases and title before reposting.

So on the very same blog you will have your new RECYCLED post called mysuperpornblog dot com/giant-hooters-bouncing.html

But none of this produces any new sales like you said? It's possible that the original successful post was perfectly worded with the perfect image and you need to re-post it the same as before to get results.

Then comes plan B- Post the exact same entry over again but give it more than 6 weeks before you do so and make sure you alter the title a little and change the image/video name again. Putting it in a different CATEGORY on the blog is also a good idea.

And that's it.

But in summary, if you are going to do some blog post recycling you need to -

A)make a comprehensive list/bookmarks of all the successful selling posts/galleries from your sponsors.
B)alter those posts sufficiently to avoid SE penalites (title,image/video,keywords,phrases)
C)recycle to other blogs in your network first
D)Spread them apart with TIME. You have to be patient, especially if you want to re-post on the same blog which has the original post.

That concludes this GFY educational post. Please post questions or reasons why I might be full of it;)

.

Few more replies and you will have an Ipad, good luck.

Good points, especially in regards to keeping a solid list of successful posts, but why not just make a series of related posts that link to the money post? Doing so ensures that the money post will be crawled at a greater frequency and relevant anchor text helps it fare better in search. You can also make a series of slight changes to the money post to achieve the same effect. Add a comma week one, take it out week 2, repeat.

ipad on the way.

Valid point, but here is the problem. You want to be as direct as possible connecting to that gallery/paysite, so if you make yet another post linking to the post which links to a gallery which links to paysite...well you can see where i am going with this.

The less links to the destination the better, which is why i prefer re-using old money making posts directly on blogs.

I don't get it.

why don't you just recycle the money making posts back to the front of the page yo?

Change the published date, bammmmmmmmmmmm son.

ah...but if you just change the publishing date you only have ONE money making post on your blog...better to make a re-post and tweak it so you have TWO money making posts going to the same gallery/sponsor that's making you bank:)

Please make your next educational thread about how to make the interwebs.

I'm here to help, if you have questions fire away.

You'll have to consult with Al Gore about that;)

.

Once again it's not about taking the easiest way, because you risk damage to SE rankings. You want to recycle that $$$ blog post and make it appear as "new"...

Changing the date so it goes to the front page is not a good idea as it could damage SE rankings and it also leaves you with only ONE of those blog posts on your blog or blog network...
Blog Post Recycling will give you 2 or 3 or...etc.

.

nice post!

Thanks! If you have any questions lmk:thumbsup

.

Plan B doesn't sound like a good idea. You change the title and image but the post body is the same, and Panda isn't too keen on that.

What morphing tool do you use?

You are correct. Plan B is when all else fails and you're attempts at re-posting have failed to deliver more $.
Then you are left with the decision as to anger the google gods or go for it and repost that thing practically verbatim.
The one thing I weigh in this case is the blog itself. Is the blog still ranking or has google knocked it down a few pages?
If you've lost your rank but you now have many subscribers because of the previous traffic then I say go for it. Re-post that puppy nearly verbatim because google has already tossed you out of your high ranking position yet you still have alot of those google eyes on your blog...

Morphing tool-wise I only use Cyber SEO, but none of what I am talking about here applies to using that and I would NEVER use a morphing tool to repost a post across blogs which are ranking highly on google.
In this case it is worth the extra 5 minutes to re-do the post BY HAND to make sure everything is the way you want it.

I see, it looked like you were suggesting a morphing too when you said "MORPH IT into another blog post on another blog". Perhaps the more appropriate word is 'rewrite' or 'rearrange' the post. ;)

Nevermind, now I see you suggest rewriting it.

That's fair enough, I was using it as a verb "to change" but in reality many people instantly think of MORPHING software, so it is important to note I am not referring to morphing software and do NOT recommend it for doing blog post recycling.

.

Good post.

Thanks. Anyone with ?'s fire away...

.

and btw, i am not saying "do not use morphing software" because I do use Cyber SEO for loading blogs with XML feeds from sponsors.

You can also use CyberSEO for loading videos to your WP tube blogs with morphing...

.

bumpin for bloggas;)

.

I haven't made any blogs yet, but this is motivating.

Totally agree with how you schedule the re-post of your best converting ideas to
protect you SE rankings.

I kind of missed the "blog boat". But clearly it's a good method.
It's more refined than slamming a bunch of stuff on a tube and that is probably
a good thing for conversions.

You've got me thinking!!

:Graucho

Thanks for the comments!
While it is true that most blogs that rank well need more time and effort as opposed to automation, i find that good handwritten blogs pay off again and again so it's worth it.

Please shoot me an email or post here if you have any more questions:)

.

Just a quick FYI
You can apply this to WP tubes as well-
If you do WP tubes you can apply the same idea. Simply create a list of the tube posts that are making sales and re-generate them with different titles, text and even change the name of the video file/thumbnail if you're hosting them.

You might even try changing the thumbnail to a different pic to change things up a bit although in some cases it is that original thumb that entices the surfer to click in the first place...

.

I'm giving my blog post recycling toot one more year end trip around the block, so if anyone has questions or comments post away...

.

Just write a new post, referencing back to the original post with the anchor text you are targeting. Accept the comment / trackback on the original post. No need to copy. Bad habit.

Exactly as I said in my toot, if you actually read it;)

If everything I said is what you said, consider it the Cliff's Notes version .

An example of what I do.

Hey Cliff Notes is an art form unto itself :pimp

.

Actually now that I'm thinking about it, I would never, ever reference the original post nor allow comments/trackbacks of the new post on the original. You risk a content duplication flag which is exactly what you don't want to do, and otherwise it's entirely unnecessary.

The idea is to recreate the post closely aligned with the original so it triggers the same selling pattern but remains as a legitimate stand alone post.

.

Totally disagree with you. I put it into practice, I watch it work. A trackback is not dupe content. Look at the two posts in my example. You don't think either is a stand alone post?

But what is the purpose other than risking a duplicate content flag?
I personally prefer organic comments/trackbacks, and in my experience neither are crucial at all to a blog ranking well, so putting this to use on a "duplicate" post seems like a waste of time.

On the other hand, if it works for you and you haven't encountered problems then that's fine. I just don't see the need for it, or perhaps you can explain the need for it?

and btw i did look at your posts and i think we are talking about two entirely different things.
your post references the previous year of the drag races right? that does make sense because it's a tie in to the same event...

but for making "duplicate" posts i am not talking about referencing anything because nothing should be referenced. it is a completely different animal. apples and oranges.

.

First off, there is absolutely zero possibility of a dupe content flag. Your morphing carries a lot more risk, IMO.

As far as the need? I am going to use my real world example, so it won't be porn related. Well, suppose I want to rank for webmaster events? I have an adult webmaster events page. But it needs some juice if I want that #1 or 2 spot, so I add a post mentioning upcoming webmaster events and it gives me the benefit on both "webmaster events" and "upcoming adult webmaster events."

Now, if your traffic is all bookmark, then I would probably go ahead with your method.

Your example is well taken but of course this GFY forum is adult related, so my thread has everything to do with adult and nothing to do with the real world;)

I'm glad you brought this up because now I am making a specific set of examples to illustrate exactly what I am talking about and will post them here shortly.

.

I did the exact same thing with WhiteCheech.com when it was a porn site. I ranked for any solo chick I wanted. But I look forward to seeing your example.

Okay here are the examples.
Keep in mind I just made these and they are for illustrational purposes only.
The links are fake and the only things to look at are-
1)The Title
2)The Picture
3)the blog text

My original blog post- http://bigtitamateurs.sensualwriter....-huge-breasts/
My "duplicate" blog post- http://naturaltitties.sexusblog.com/...eal-milf-tits/

The first example is the one I am making sales off of, so I want to "duplicate" that blog post on another blog and see if i can make more sales.

So I use the exact same pic and rename it. I use a different title and different text but keep a very similar feel to the post i.e. big tits, amateur, karen is a milf etc.

So you can see that connecting these two posts in anyway is a very bad move because they are essentially the same post....yet different:)

this thread fucking sucked balls

One other thing to keep in mind is that when you are doing the "duplicate" post, you are linking to the same gallery but you can also link it differently.

For example, you might have options for "encoded" and "unencoded" links so you can use encoded for the original post and unencoded for your duplicate post.

I have literally duplicated one post 6 times, 3x with encoded and 3x with unencoded and no problems, as long as the main three things are addressed-
1)The Title
2)The Picture
3)the blog text
If those are all reasonably different every time you should have no problems "re-posting."

.

You think the fact she had a drink first was what made the sales? That is why you mentioned it again?

:1orglaugh yes, i think that clinched it.

really i don't know, but when i duplicate the posts i try to maintain the same kind of storyline across the board because something is working and sometimes it's what is being written and not what is being seen.

sorry tube peoples, it's just the truth.
