Hey there everyone,

I'm a new adult webmaster I want to introduce myself and ask you all a ton of questions about the business! Sorry in advance for this text wall!

The idea to start in the biz started a few weeks ago, when I realized that liking porn and knowing my web/tech stuff could be a good start to become an adult web master. So a few weeks ago I started with the development of my own porn blog named "Geeks Love Porn". By now I've filled my blog with about 50 articles from a two sponsors (Brazzers and BangBros), but I'm planning to add many more sponsors before the actual launch. The articles are generated from spidered content, hand picked images and a manually created 1 minute HQ movie trailers.

It was relatively easy for me to make some nifty tools, an ok blog and all the other stuff we geeks are good at, but now that I've arrived at the point where my tech stuff is starting to get done, I'm having some trouble working on the business aspect of the whole blog thing. Promotion, picking the right sponsors, picking a specific niche, etc. My global question, which I will describe in more detail later, is where I need to go from here?

First of all, the content and niche. I've seen alot of people recommend to pick a specific niche and focus on that. I currently don't think I really have a niche, appart from the very mainstream stuff (big tits, big dicks, milfs, etc.) that Brazzers and BangBros offer. This is fine with me, as I kind a like the mainstream stuff, but I don't know if its good enough for an attractive blog. So queation one...how important is the niche and how much/deep specialisation is recommended?

My following question regards the content. Currently I'm using the movie description from the sponsor as my blog article text. Its very easy to use grab, but there are many blogs doing the exact same thing. So I'm thinking of hiring a writer to make custom 1000 word descriptions for each movie. However, this is quite the investment and I'm not sure if its worth the effort. Maybe anyone reading this has some experience with this subject. Question summary; would it be worth hiring a writer for custom blog articles? (By now I've hired a blog post writer [BlogTexter on this forum] writing 500 words per article)

The third question relates to the outgoing links selection. I don't want to put too many outgoing links on my blog. Probably just a top 5, and thats it. Not because of the possible SEO damage some people talk about, but just because I don't want to bother my visiters with a huge list of links. I've also heard that its best to keep in the same genre when adding links to other websites...so tgp to tgp, blog to blog, mgp to mgp, etc. This leads to the following question; what would be a wise policy for selecting this limited set of links?

My final question, for now at least, is related to getting shitloads of traffic. My blog is obviously aiming for recurring visitors, but I need to get it started somehow. So I want to do some booster campain during the first few months to make sure people get farmilliar my blog. I've done some experiments with Traffic Holder, but I wasn't extremely happy about that. So what alternatives are there? I read about hardlinks everywhere, but I don't understand the whole idea yet (which might sound stupid). I understand that its a link to my blog, but the where, how, how much traffic to they generate and "how to get quality links" are unclear to me; maybe some examples will enligten me. Are some other alternatives I don't know about yet? Summary of my final question; whats the best strategy to boost traffic to my blog.

If you've made it here, I want to thank you for reading it all the way and I hope you can help! ;)

Hope to hear from you soon!
