Theblowjobplace

Hello, my site is now 4 months old, I would like opinions from experienced webmasters. All criticisms are accepted. I know some people will think "yet another tube site" but I trust my site because when I see most new tube sites, I find it easy to stand out...

Wait for your reviews ;) ---> theblowjobplace.com

A lot of what I say will bear different meaning depending on why you came into adult, and which country you hail from.

First and foremost, if you want to make "some" money in adult, you have to either have a product that you can sell, be very crafty (promote cams, etc) or, host your own videos.

Most people opt for the latter.

In your case, however... making any money is going to be extremely difficult, and even if you make a little bit of money, it may be just enough to renew the domain, the VPS and have a few dollars here and there left for you to keep, and if you're from one of the less developed European countries, it may be nice. Otherwise, however... you would make much more getting any type of a job. Literally.

Put simply; even though WP-Script should fare well for niche tubes, you are still relying on embedded videos, and when it comes to embedded videos, you need volume.

Unfortunately, you can't embed that many videos with WP-Script, it just doesn't scale well.

My advice, if it's of any worth is to try and figure out something webcam related (hint: everyone heard of Chatroulette and Omegle, you can make a one-page website that gives you a different cam every time, and if you click the "Feeling lucky?" button, you get a tranny cam! 100% legal and kosher in every sense and you shouldn't have any issues pushing it with different sponsors).

If you don't fancy that, then, even though some may not like this: you have the choice of joining the dark side and making a hosted tube with pirated content.

If your conscience won't allow you that, and if you don't want to make something cam related, then, honestly... try to do something in mainstream, or find some type of a job IRL. You really won't get far with what you have right now.

I respect and thank you for your opinion. I live in a rich country in Europe and I do this more out of passion than necessity. I work and make a living, I just want to try to make more money and I like porn, I want to combine the two.

Don't you think that by offering exclusive content (because if you look well on my site, you will find it ;) ), by creating a community and offering a beautiful site that people like and come back to, you will be able to make money right? I mean, if you reach a high number of visits per day, you will earn a lot of money, one way or another. (It's up to me to find a way).

Afterwards, I don't understand your opinion on WP-Script, I can integrate as many videos as I want by avoiding scraping thanks to a proxy, and I have installed a cdn for the videos that I find on the net that I don't can't embed or for exclusive videos.

You're partly right but I think you're being a bit harsh, people are always asking for more new videos and new sites to discover.

And soon, the big sites will be obliged to provide an efficient age control system (credit card, create account with id card, etc.) This is when the small sites will be able to take advantage, do you think?

I think what he means is that WordPress does not scale well. Once you have 100,000 posts your servers will have a really hard time keeping up once you start getting real traffic.

With a niche site, theoretically, you won't have THAT many posts, so WordPress can still do the job.

I think that's what he meant.

At the risk of also being called harsh, your site is not "beautiful", it looks like a thousand other amateur sites; same old uninspired black background with hundreds of thumbs, and in this case all of them are the same: a dick and a chick. The good news is no surfer has ever cared about what a porn site looks like.

The name/domain is also uninspired, and waywaywayway too long/too many words.

Well I do like that you don't seem to have overloaded it with javascript, ads and popups, which is a huge plus. So unlike other sites it works, it's not slow, and it's simple and to the point, which is the kind of design that matters.

You have overloaded it with javascript, ads and popups. So it barely works,it's slow, and makes people leave within seconds.

Besides that, I don't see unique content that cant be found on 1000's of other tube sites.

I do like that most videos seem to have long and unique descriptions

It is exactly another wp-script site as thousands of others.

ZTT

If you're getting that then use an ad blocker or scan your PC. All I remember seeing is one ad at the side, and zero popups.

Also not true, it's far better in this respect than most of the embedded tubes people post here.

The pop-up script is in your source code not on my computer. And if I need an adblocker because a site is unbrowsable without it, then it's a shit site.

And yes I know after a few annoying redirects and pop ups it will stop. But by that time most will have already left.

But it seems like you are asking for compliments instead of reviews.

So here you go.

Awesome site, very unique, much better than the blowjob category at pornhub

You may want to sit down for this, but 95% of the internet is shit sites bloated with ads, tracking and malware, which is why if you don't use blocking, you are a moron.

I'm not going to disable anything to check if your claims about this site are correct, but even with blocking I get popups, modals, trackers and other rancid dogshit at other sites, even non-adult ones, so this one is at least not as bad as others I've seen.

I'm not asking for anything, since it's not my site. I was describing my experience, where only one ad and no popups appeared, which you directly contradicted.

It's true that when people ask for comments about their sites all they want to hear is praise though.

Blowjob is a big, saturated niche. Without good budget and man-hours, difficult to make a splash (every pun intended) fast.

My two cents ... Do the things you can easily do well.

Ask some really obvious questions. Do most surfers in to your niche type 'blowjob videos' into an SE or something very specific? You've got Category pages targeting those micro-niches (just like all your myriad competitors have). But they are mostly an extra click away ... or text links only.

I'm a lazy-ass first time visitor. I owe you nothing. I don't wanna give you two of my clicks to possibly find what I want. Give me what I want in one click ... or fuck you, I'm off back to google and hitting the next link that does. You got a few seconds of my time tops. Make me like you fast. I just used a searchbox on google. Don't tell me to use your searchbox too. I wanna see a thumb I like fast.

Research/identify micro-niches where there is opportunity for a newcomer to make headway fast. Target those micro-niches relentlessly.

I'd get a killer thumb for each targeted micro-niche and make them the first row/s complete with keywords my virgin surfer and googlebot sees. If google is gonna index anything for my site, force it to take special notice of those targeted micro-niches. Build a micro-niche PBN around your catchall niche hub. Keep ads on them minimal for first few months.

I don't know your niche, but must be some opportunities to grab some keyword rich micro-niche domains. I dunno ... swallowvirgins, gobblinggrandmas, streetfacials, foureyedfellatists :=p ... bla bla bla.

Good luck.

Since I use my site more than anyone else, these ads were starting to piss me off too. I'm being tested for a lot of things and that's part of it.

So I deleted all the popups, social bars and too bad for the few cents on Adsterra :P

In fact, if you're crazy about blowjobs and especially slobbery blowjobs like me, you'll like some very rare videos ;) I understand when you still say another wp-scripts site... I'll try to stand out and continue my work on seo.

Regarding your relevant comment, Justbiz, I will do what you say and focus on micro niches by working a lot on category seo.

Thank you all and do not hesitate to give me more advice.

digitalfantasies

I agree if you don't use an adblocker your a moron, but you might want to sit down for this: many big whales are morons. That's why it's stupid not to test a site in as many possible browser/device setups even for the morons.
If it takes 4 clicks before the visitor actually gets what he's clicking for, it's bad practice IMHO. Unless the ads give you a ton of money
And my bad confused you with the topic starter

Actually none of us that posted (or didn't post) got the answers. There's lots of different answers. The secret's finding one that works for you. Try lots of stuff and learn as much, if not more, from what doesn't work as what does. That's the truest time-saver.

You gave yourself one answer in saying your ads were pissing you off as the number one fan of your site.

Next time you buy something off a site that isn't a major player like Amazon, maybe ask why you chose the site you eventually did to buy from or bookmark. It's not something most of us generally think about in any sort of analytical way.

Last week I bought a specialist plant for someone as a gift. Amazon didn't have it. I checked out only the first page of results on google. Obviously, I didn't buy/bookmark the first site I visited ... regardless of google putting it number one.

I clicked quickly about 8 sites. All of them had listings for the specialist plant I was looking to buy. One of them it was out of stock. One of them loaded too slow. Two of them I instantly didn't like the immediate look of. Might have been good sites, but they got only seconds to make an impression.

Four sites I liked the look of enough to read further. Price got rid of another one. The other three all offered the same product for roughly the same price, were easy to navigate, were fast and looked good.

But I bookmarked and bought from only one of the three. I didn't just 'lucky dip' the one of the three I eventually bought from. Why I bookmarked and bought from that one and not the other two is subjective, of course. Someone else, most things being equal, might have bought from one of the others.

If you trust you know your niche (and micro-niches), go with your gut. There's thousands of sites in the niche you like. How many of those did/do you visit? If someone made you write it down, what's the top 5 reasons you visit/bookmarked those sites and not all the countless others you looked at and never visited again?

Copy what they do. Monitor how traffic/SEs react. The data itself will eventually tell you where all the sweet spot dos and donts are. But your gut (or groin) if you genuinely like that niche seems as good a place as any to start.

Yeah, the popups just to get to the site were to annoying for me to even bother.

I don't think we disagree. It's not what I'd do, but if other people want to alienate visitors that's their loss.

Anyway since the impression I got from adblocking and the OP not correcting me, and implying they were going for a simpler, lower ad, "beautiful" site, was total bullshit, and it was indeed just another splog dressed up as a tube, my bad on that one.

Hey, now I deleted all popups and social bar

Alex21

I would have gone with - BlowJobPalace.com - yours sounds a bit cumbersome..

Also, while I have been out of the game for a while.. is it commonplace to buy exclusive content and give it away on a free site?

Anyway mate, good luck.. always good to see more free sites popping up..
