Ask an adult SEO expert anything megathread

[Arnox]

I see a few threads every couple of days in the Q&A section where people are asking about SEO. I'm happy to answer any questions that you have - no matter how small or stupid - in this thread.

Fire away, I'll do my best to answer everything as simply as possible.

I know that isn't an answer to the following question but I will ask anyway :
How to avoid G penalties for a cam White Label (for thin/duplicate content) ?
I know there is no answer to this because Google will get it sooner or later but who knows any ideea is welcome !
Thanks !

[Tdash]

What are your thoughts on buying hardlinks for ranking purposes?

[johnny_d]

1) Please let me know the exact process of getting search engine traffic to an xxx pinboard site (something like http://sex.com, or http://LustPin.com

2) Does it make sense to work on a network of subdomain Wordpress blogs, from a SEO perspective?

3) Do traffic trading scripts / traffic trading affect seo.

4) What is the difference between mainstream and adult seo / link building. I've heard that they dont work the same way.

5) Is paying for links the only way to go, as the xxx niche is very competitive?

6) Is it possible to have a good amount of Google and search engine traffic with only legitimate seo, and no Black Hat, as far as the adult sites.

Thank you.

If you're able to customize the white label in any way, write your own description for some of the more popular models on the site. This is the only way to really do it: you can always have a blog section as well where you can create informative articles related to the webcam industry.

There's no real easy way around it: but that's a good thing, in my opinion. Google's top ten should not be dominated by sites that copy other sites and bring nothing of value to the user.

In adult, it's sort of required. Building natural links is next to impossible: you have to make sure the links are as white hat as possible, though. A good paid link will most likely be a coverage of that particular site in question. Footer links and other bullshit Google doesn't really care about. Here's an example of what I'd consider to be a good link:

http://www.camgirlresource.com/news/...-squirt-story/

The "whole story" link out to Mia Mei's blog entry is pretty much ideal. It's from a relevant site (camgirl related) and talks about the article she wrote. You'd be hard pressed to get a better link than this. Here's another good link:

http://www.xoptimizers.com/blog/accu...ftware-review/

I wrote an article on Accuranker and talked about how useful the software was. I also gave a natural backlink from the post at the bottom of the article. Relevant, informative stuff that has the link placed well: doesn't get much better than that.

For clients, I typically avoid paying for links as much as possible. I have a lot of resources, so I typically trade a favorable look at a website in exchange for something else. I'll also find mutual linking opportunities. Money trading hands seems a bit seedy, and I only do it where it'll look natural anyway. Google might not like me for saying that, but it's the lesser of every evil as far as SEO goes.

Thank you.

1. The process is simple: have a good site that people enjoy using. Quality content that keeps users on the site for as long as possible is the best tactic any SEO service will recommend above all else.

2. Are you asking about blog.wordpress.com, or niche.yourwebsite.com? Wordpress itself has its own subdomain that you can blog on - I'd probably recommend against doing either. There's some arguments about weight being shifted from a subdomain to the main site, but I don't really buy it. Better to keep things separated wherever possible. $10 isn't much and if the site doesn't make cash, don't bother renewing next year. If you're talking about subdomains with regard to .wordpress stuff, I'd actually recommend tumblr for adult: lots of big keywords have recently had some niche Tumblr blogs thrown into the top 10. It's dumb to give these sites exposure, but if you can exploit it, go ahead. I've yet to work out a good way to automate Tumblr, so I've not gone down that road.

3. Traffic trading might be good for you if your site is decent. Some people will remember the name and Google it: this is a positive indication, because if someone is searching directly for your URL, Google is more inclined to think your site is decent. Note that it's only a small difference, but there aren't too many issues with traffic trading if you do it right.

4. Adult SEO is a savage beast. Google gives little fucks about adult, which means some really dumb results come out for top search terms. It's getting better or time, but it still needs to improve if it wants to be taken seriously by adult webmasters. The biggest issue is attractive natural links, because people care very little about talking with regard to porn. This is the main issue with adult: there's no social relevance, so Google can't monitor stuff like Twitter/FB - who the hell shares their favorite porn video? For this reason, lots of adult webmasters buy links. I do a bit of both where required, but as I mentioned in reply to another question, I avoid paying as much as possible. I prefer mutual agreements that give both webmasters decent outcomes.

5. Not always. I've had successful campaigns without paying for links, but you have to produce some top quality content on your site. The main thing to do is analysis/statistics on viewers and provide informative articles about relevant site concepts, such as the fetishes your site focuses on. For instance, a camgirl site might have a weekly top 10, write articles on how to buy tokens or explain how to become a camgirl. A site on escorting might provide tips on meeting girls for the first time, what different terms mean (GFE, BBBJ, etc.) and how to get ready for an escort that's coming over. This is your best bet to getting links: write articles that give users informative that's important to the main purpose of your site. I admit that it's hard to do for certain niches, but you just have to be clever about it.

6. Absolutely. I've made dozens of sites rank well for good terms through white hat approaches only. Some people just have sites that do fantastic things, but on-site issues keep them back. Title tags are the thing that people fuck up the most. After that, it's URL structure and a lack of written content. I'd say most of my clients that come to me already have the ground work of a decent site, they just need me to come in and fix up relatively minor things that actually make a big difference.

I've worked on sites that rank in the top 10 for search terms such as 'teen porn', 'big boobs' and 'london escort'. I've started to build links for newer clients of mine, but all three of those were gotten to the top without any unnatural link building whatsoever.

It's certainly possible to do, it just requires a bit of time and, unfortunately, a little bit of luck.

[Andreweb]

Thank you for the answer! I already done that with my Webcamwiz WL I added a lots of text in more than 300 pages (custom h1 and p1 etc) , in 3 languages , over 80 blog posts , and still I got hit by G !

[DonJon69]

Where can I buy quality links for my sites?

[CPA-Rush]

is this advertising ?

what ur prices , how much time it takes u to bring 1000 uv per day / good terms hq countries?

ps i will not pay a lot! but if u r really good and honest ... we can work something out

[funnytimecpl]

hi Arnox , can you say how I should bring visits to my site ?
is a affiliate for chaturbate and camgirl blog , thanks

The sell/buy section on GFY can be useful. Also, add webmasters with various sites that are similar to yours and arrange something. You can also try Linkspun - some people are happy to trade cash for hardlinks. Thankfully I have quite a few contacts in the industry already, so it's not too hard for me to find relevant locations to gather juice.

If it were advertising, I probably wouldn't do this in a newbie webmaster forum. To be honest, people know enough about my service and I already have a decent client base that this serves as little more than just informing people.

The only ulterior motive I have for this thread is for the purposes of finding out what blog posts I should create in the future. I don't really know what new webmasters need help with, so in order to make decent, engaging content, I've come right to the source to find out what their deal is.

Prices depend on a lot of things, but I'm not really going to discuss it any further seeing as you admit that you're not willing to pay 'a lot'. I doubt you'll find anyone in adult SEO who charges as much as me. I'm literally the worst choice you could make if you have issues parting with money for SEO.

What I'm about to tell you WILL make you an epic amount of money. Please believe me when I say that this piece of advice is the single best thing this thread will ever have in it. Do as I say and I guarantee you will see money if you stick to it. Are you ready?

Write articles like these.

http://www.bestmyfreecams.com/miss-a...c-18-cam-babe/

I did this myself when I first started in adult, and the cash that rolls in on a monthly basis is enough to pay my rent and then some. I haven't touched the site in years. All it does is sit there with high quality writing and pictures about popular camgirls and Google absolutely loves it. Definitely my favorite affiliate trick right now because I think that cams are the way of the future.

Have lots of pages on your site about camgirls. Don't worry about backlinks or any of that shit: just funnel high quality posts. In fact, they don't even need to be more than 50 words. Just write their name a few times, cams/webcams in the descriptions and have a decent title tag. You'll be swimming in cash in no time. I'd devote myself to it 24/7 if SEO didn't pay so well.

[funnytimecpl]

Thanks for your reply , well , thats why I made the interview part of my blog, so I can say a few words about other models, or should I say the models do all the talking , but it is time consuming. Asked about the seo part of the site .

I have 2 scripts , one for showing cams from chaturbate and the blog which is on wordpress.
Was thinking on doing a subdomain with a TGP site on it and trade traffic , but don't have the technical skills for it , I tryed to ask around , but can't get how to build it.

Want to add more info on live cams , example , now I have something like " Welcome to camgirsname's live webcam and chat room! Watching sex show is completely FREE! .... blah blah blah more info . but in the same time I was thinking , is google gonna penalize me for duplicate content ?

Ohhh .. so many questions , so little time , lol thanks

I had the same reaction when I first saw the thread a couple of days ago but unlike many around here he is offering up some decent advice.

I don't call myself an expert in anything and am wary of those who label themselves as expert but he isn't spamming his shit and the advice is not bad, so why hassle him about it?

Carry on Arnox, please. Ignore the haters.

With your question regarding the model profiles, I have a network of a few dozen camgirl websites and have done a few tests to see how they go with different text procedures. I've ranked sites really well that use literally the same template, such as this:

If you want a hot webcam experience, [NAME] will be sure to please. She's a hot slut with a hunger for streaming live sex on her cam for anyone that's willing to watch. Be sure to visit [NAME] today and have some sexy nude fun!

Or whatever, and for every post, all I've changed is the name of the model and the photograph.

I've also ranked sites well using completely hand-written texts.

My advice is to do a little of both, or if you can work it out, spinning. So you might have that text above as the footer of your text, but above it you'd have 'She's 18 years old, hungry for dick and willing to stream her ebony body for you!' - or whatever is particularly relevant to that camgirl. In 2015 I plan to spend a lot of time on a project involving this, and my process is going to be a 100-word split between spun content and the same written template. Google doesn't seem to worry too much about duplicate content from what I've seen if it's hosted on the same domain. Ideally you'd want fresh text for every girl, but the time invested usually doesn't justify the outcome.

There are three people on my ignore list: Captain Kawaii, fatfoo and the guy who always talks about poop. The self-aggrandizing title might be a little on the pretentious side, but I'm confident that there are very few people in this industry that know as much as me on the topic.

I'm not entirely sure what his problem is, but the constant flow of hatred lets me know I'm doing something right.

To Captain Kawaii: if you want my attention, you can pay for it.

Understood.

I almost replied a few days ago with my old joke:

Santa Claus, The Easter Bunny and an SEO expert walked into a bar. The bartender looks at them and says. Wait a second, there's no such thing as an SEO expert.

But I refrained and waited to see what would transpire. And like I said, he isn't passing on bad knowledge so I didn't post the joke. ;p

I don't have anyone on my ignore list. I don't have many haters that I am aware of. Maybe one or two here and there.

But then again I don't claim to be an expert on anything. Not even the stuff I have been doing for 30+ years. Seems every time I think I know it all, someone comes along and shows me I don't.

But that's just me.

greedy ? ohh thanks god.

[tres001]

let's hope this thread won't derail

Having said that, now a few questions:

1.- Purchased traffic may hurt your site/blog?. Given its high bounce rate may google think your site isn't good enough?.

2.- Do places like tumblr have any SEO relevance for our main site?. When people share a post with your site's link they simply are making a copy of your post. There's nothing new or original in all those shares. Does google give those shares/reblogs value anyway?.

3.- How can I make google index my posts and find my backlinks faster?. I've noticed that backlinks on high PR sites are found faster by google.

4.- What about bing and yahoo?. They have about 25-30% of the SE market. Do they need a different SEO approach?. if so what may be the right approach and can we have a site SEO optimized for those three search engines?.

thank you.

1. Google has said on multiple occasions that they do not look at your site's Google Analytics profile for ranking purposes. It can gather time on site directly from clicks that it produces and thus work out a bounce rate from that, but for traffic purposes you're not going to be punished in any way for a low bounce rate. It simply doesn't know what your stats are. Unless it came from a search engine, bounce rate isn't going to make a difference to your ranking.

2. Yes, they do. These are social signals, and Tumblr has actually become pretty popular for the big G. Some major keywords have Tumblr blogs ranking high, so it clearly likes sharing signals and treats them as proof that a site is an authority.

3. Have a site that Google cares more about. New Wikipedia articles get indexed immediately: some sites can take a few weeks. The more times that Google looks at your site, the quicker it is to pick up on new webpages. Consider pinging the pages via some online automation services if required: I've never had a major issue with new pages being noticed though, so I wouldn't know.

4. I don't really care about focusing on Bing/Yahoo, because I figure the people that use those search engines aren't going to really be interested in purchasing pornography. Most people have those as default search engines because they don't know how to change it to Google: I doubt anyone with that level of non-tech understanding is going to be able to pay for something. Of course, this is a huge generalization and I have absolutely nothing against those search engines, I just think that they're going to pretty much follow whatever Google does. It has already been proven that Bing uses results from Google in its own SERPs, so I figure just focus on Google and if the other search engines have any intelligence, they'll just follow suit.

Thanks for the previous answer. If possible, I would have more questions regarding this.

1) How to do keyword research, for the best possible results. I know, that I can use Keyword Planner, Market Samurai, and some other tools (free, online), but it is probably good to use some kind of software too (probably paid), or multiple programs, at the same time. Would you be able to explain, how to do it, step by step?

2) What is your opinion about the following programs? Do you use them? Can you write something about each of them:

a) SENuke
b) Ultimate Demon
c) Scrapebox
d) GSA Search Ranker
e) Keyword Elite

I bought the last one several days ago, and I returned it. I did not have too much time to test the program, but I would say that it is probably not very good. I think that it would need to be updated also.

3) What other seo / adult seo software, would you recommend?

4) What websites would you recommend, for somebody interested in search engine optimization of adult sites (the more the better, all you have in your bookmarks, would be probably the best)

I can recommend, the following ones:

http://ericward.com/book
http://PointBlankSeo.com (very good course, strategies section is also good)

[johnny_d]

Here is some more questions, if you dont mind:

1) Does it make sense / sound like a good idea to use multiple seo / social media sharing / some other kind plugins on a network of Wordpress blogs? Lets say 200 sites? The websites would be more versatile, they could be based on 20 different themes, also. Would it make a difference?

2) How important is updating websites on a regular basis, lets say Wordpress blogs. Is it possible to have a successful network, of lets say 250 blogs, without updating them on a regular basis (lets say for 12 months or more, domains can be old, websites large. but no updates)

3) What would be the other general rules of seo?

a) "keep things separate"
b) keep things versatile

What else could be put here?

Thanks.

[johnny_d]

I would have another three questions:

1) Is .com better than .net and .org. I've hear that yes. Would .net be better than .org too?

2) I would like to create a network of 200 pornstar blogs, with their names in domain names, could be something like http://HotSaraJay.com, http://HotJynxMaze.com, http://HotSunnyLeone.com

It would be based on Wordpress Multisite. What would I need to do in order to maximize traffic from Google.com, and other search engines, in a long term perspective, lets say a period of one or two years.

3) I have a website, which was getting only around 200 uv a day, and I found a very good source of high quality traffic to the site. It will be receiving around 900 people a day or more, and these people will be visiting some pages, staying on the website for a while, and so on (it wont be the best parameters, but bounce rate, time on site, and number of pages visited will be quite good).

With the above, will I be getting more search engine visitors over time? I've read in several places, that this is how it works. Everybody talks about bounce rate, amount of traffic, also social media buzz, as factors, which influence amount of traffic from search engine sites...

Thanks.

[DonJon69]

I saw your example sites of how to advertise cam models. Looks good.
I have a question.
How many posts do you need on a site to start seeing results and how many sites?

I can recommend, the following ones:

Link Building Book - Bonus Content
Point Blank SEO - Link Building Blog (very good course, strategies section is also good)

1. I just do intuitive keyword research using what I know about the industry. The good thing about Google is that if you rank well for 'London escort', you'll probably do pretty well for 'London companion' too. This is why written text is so important: keywords come from natural language, so I just build stuff for people and the rest is done for me. I don't use any tools for keywords, but if I needed to for a niche or industry I was unsure of, I'd probably do it. Don't focus too much on that though: building a good site and focusing your efforts is the best thing to do at the start.

2. I only use a few 'programs', all of them online. Those are Analytics, Webmaster Tools and Accuranker. I suppose the research stuff on Ahrefs is a tool as well, but yeah - nothing much past that.

3. As above. Accuranker is only really good for people that run businesses, but if you have a large empire that you want to monitor, it's great.

4. As far as I know, there aren't any decent sources for SEO that are directed toward SEO. In fact, I'd say the blog section on our business's site is the only option. That said, most mainstream SEO information is also useful. I Google "SEO" regularly and go to news articles - I also frequent SearchEngineLand.com a lot.

1. I run a lot of Wordpress blogs, and my mission is to keep them as distant from each other as possible. I wouldn't interlink them with social media: just a good way for Google to know that you're all linked together. I'm not entirely sure I understand this question, so maybe reword it for me?

2. Yes, absolutely. Some of my highest earning sites haven't updated in quite some time. My method is to build a site and schedule posts - one a month - for the rest of the year. I think this is the best of both worlds. Google would likely include updating content as being a good indication, but it isn't 100% required. If you're going to do blogs, pump and dump. Don't spend longer than a few hours on them.

3. Build a site that's useful to the user is the biggest tip. I mean, I have some sites that do well in SEO but don't provide a great user experience, but those sites are never going to rank #1 for big keywords. I get most of my revenue through longtails because I don't really have the head to run a huge website. It's also very risky, because one wrong move and your income is down the drain. Multiple sites = diversity.

Other tips:

1. Focus on titles. Very important for SEO to have a decent title.
2. Write meta descriptions for the main pages that attract clicks.
3. Understand that time on site is an important metric.
4. Don't spam your site with backlinks. Google will punish you eventually.
5. Realize that SEO is a long-term game and it isn't going to make you money overnight.
6. Look at what the competition is doing. If someone is #1 for a good search term, they're likely doing something correct.

It would be based on Wordpress Multisite. What would I need to do in order to maximize traffic from Google.com, and other search engines, in a long term perspective, lets say a period of one or two years.

3) I have a website, which was getting only around 200 uv a day, and I found a very good source of high quality traffic to the site. It will be receiving around 900 people a day or more, and these people will be visiting some pages, staying on the website for a while, and so on (it wont be the best parameters, but bounce rate, time on site, and number of pages visited will be quite good).

With the above, will I be getting more search engine visitors over time? I've read in several places, that this is how it works. Everybody talks about bounce rate, amount of traffic, also social media buzz, as factors, which influence amount of traffic from search engine sites...

Thanks.

1. I stick to .coms because it's best for the user experience. I have slight trust issues with .net and .org - it might not be justified, but I just do. I imagine others do as well. Put it this way: there's little risk with .com. This doesn't mean that other TLDs are potentially problematic, but I've only ever had a few websites that weren't .coms.

2. This is a huge question, and one that I can't really answer in a few hundred words. All I'll do is reiterate that the best method for SEO is to provide a great user experience. Focus on what a user would want. Chuck in some text for every picture/video - link out to decent resources, etc. etc. etc.. Again, real large question and one that I can't justify without spending a lot of time on. Sorry!

3. Bounce rate and time on site are only affected by traffic that search engines can monitor. Google only knows when someone's on your site if they get their via Google. If someone ranks #1 on Google for "porn" but on average, 95% of them click back on their browser and select a new link, Google's unlikely to think that the site is worthy of the #1 spot. Traffic stats are unimportant unless they are organic. Google does not use Analytics information, only data it can get directly from its search engine.

That said, there might be small advantages to traffic to your site, such as people being more likely to link to it. I'd also imagine a couple of people would end up Googling for it and that would be a signal to Google that your site is somewhat worthy of attention.

I have a question.
How many posts do you need on a site to start seeing results and how many sites?

This question is sort of similar to asking me how long a piece of string is. Do you want me to tell you how much I make through affiliate marketing with Camgirls? Put it this way: the little I have dabbled in it was profitable. Next year I plan to dump a lot more time into it because I think it's a decent way to make cash.

It's hard work, but like anything, if you do it, you'll see results.

I recommend you start off with 5 sites and have 50 or so posts each. Sit on it for a month and see if you get any results.

I am wondering, whether it would make sense to go further, and diversify the plugins used too. Use several different seo plugins, instead of just one, use several social media sharing plugins, instead of just one, and so on.

So:
- Network of 200 Wordpress blogs
- 20 different themes
- 3 different seo plugins (one per 67 or so sites)
- 3 different social media plugins (one per 67 or so sites)

This could be all mixed up, so there would be no single website, based on the same code.

So, in general, the question here would be: Does it make sense to make networks of Blogs different, not only with themes, but plugins too? Or does it probably does not make a difference at all?

Thanks.

I would have another question, related to SmartCj websites, which have been getting penalized for Pure Spam (this is Google name). With this, what would be the best way to create SmartCj sites, and dont get penalized?

I've seen a network of 50 sites like this, and most of the traffic was coming from Google.com, and the rest was traffic trading partners / sites. What would be the method of getting a lot of search engine traffic to SmartCj website, trade traffic, and dont get penalized. What would be the best way to "optimize" a site like this, and make it profitable.

Google.com / search engine traffic -> traffic trading, based on these visitors -> $$$

Google.com / search engines would be a "driving force" here...

[johnny_d]

I would have another question here, if possible. This one is a little more advanced, related to one of the questions, that I've already asked.

There are two networks of pornstar blogs:

1) http://MyPornstarBlogs.com - 1206 blogs total.
2) http://PornstarBlogWorld.com - 259 blogs total

All websites can be viewed, and compared, but they are all based on the same model (meaning, set 1 and 2, not all of them together). Websites 1 are older, and they receive regular updates. The first network of websites gets around 400k uv a day, and 40% of traffic comes from Google.com. The second network of sites, receives only around 7,5k uv a day, with 18% of traffic from Google.com (other search engines too, but these are not included).

One thing, that could be done, in order to improve performance of the smaller network (this is the question here), would be to schedule posts, and update all websites, at least once per month (I understand that twice a month would be better, once a week even better, every five day, even better, and so on).

All websites are connected to the same social media accounts. You said, that this is not good for the websites. Would you just delete it? The thing with this, should be, that accounts receive a lot of automatic followers from the websites (and very relevant, interested in the sites), and it would be a lot easier to promote these websites, on the included social media accounts. Would you say something like this is not good, and not worth it? I think, that accumulating a lot of relevant followes, on all social media accounts, that can be useful, can be a very good thing. Would you delete it all, anyway (follow us on social media section), and just dont worry about the social sites at all? Does it really affects the rankings of the websites in google.com, and other search engine sites?

What else can be done with the #2 network, in order to make it as successful, as the network #1. Regular updates, are probably the most important, but what else can be done here, in order to improve the search engine results?

Thanks.

1) Let's say I have a network of blogs, at Pornstar Blog World. My Pornstar Blogs - Daily Updated Pornstars Since 2008! sell links, placed on their sites (yearly payments, I think). Would it make sense, and would it be a good idea, to buy links from them (Sara Jay website -> link to Sara Jay website, Jynx Maze website -> link to Jynx Maze website, and so on...)

2) As far as the network of 250 blogs above, would it make sense to get links from Linkspun.com? Is Linkspun.com, in general good, or is it better not to use it at all (as it is not legitimate, and against Google Webmaster Guidelines)?

3) Where else, could I get links for the network of blogs? How would you work on link building here. Just find the best keywords, extract the top 20-50 results in Google.com, and look at their links in Majestic Seo, or some other tool, like this?

4) I am assuming, that step #3 would be correct, and this is what I would need to do. What other link building methods, could I use, for the network of 250 pornstar blogs?

Link Building Tactics - The Complete List

Strategies are listed here. Which ones would you choose, and why?

5) Would it be a good idea, to buy links to these websites from other sources too? If so, how would I find them (except for posting ads on xxx webmaster forums, like this on)?

6) What would be the best thing to do, in order to get high quality, and long term links. I would not want to work on anything like that for 6 or more months, and have to do it all over again in two years, or so. I understand, that not all the links will be there forever, but I would like to make sure, that the work I would invest in the site, would generate, long term results.

Hi im looking to change the wordpress theme of my website any good free wp tube themes out there i have looked through the net but nothing of any interest thanks in advance

[johnny_d]

Google.com -> "site:xxxwildvideos.com" - your website is there.

I did not look any further, but maybe you are using a mobile redirection script. If so, the traffic from Google would disappear / go down.

[xxxwild14]

thankyou for reply

I have placed a mobile redirect code in the website from juicyads but that is it would this be cousing the sudden drop in traffic ,and can you tell me where there are any free wp tube scripts thanks in advance

[DonJon69]

I've had multiple sites hosted on one hostgator account for a few years now. I've had them being updated with scheduled posts for ever and most of them have over a thousand hand written posts but the traffic never increases. It is stuck at like 2000 uniques a day no matter what I do.

What do you think about this, could that hosting account be flagged? Is there something I can do? Should I move them to a new hosting account on a new server or just leave them and start over with new sites on a new host?

You said you can start with say 5 blogs and update them regularly, Can they all be hosted on the same account?

If I start with new sites on new host would you suggest not listing them on google webmaster tools and try and hide my association with the new sites?

Don't know if I'm being paranoid but I feel as if google knows what I'm working on and just ignores my sites.

My honest advice to you is put the thing on a single WP install. Simply use categories for all of your girls and post regularly in those sections. This seems to me to be the most reasonable way of doing things. You'll also save yourself 2k on domain names and not have to worry about a clusterfuck of other things (such as large backups, transferring domain names, etc.).

I'd create one single website and do it all from there.

If you were to do them on different installs, you're correct in saying that diversity is a good idea. I try to avoid creating two sites that are identical, so I change the font, image sizes, number of posts per page, plugins used, etc. etc. as well.

I don't know enough about SmartCJ to comment on this. If people are getting penalized using it, I'd probably say it's only a matter of time before Google takes a dislike to however it handles things. Stick to things that work is my advice, I guess.

The thing I was getting at with the sharing of multiple linked sites was that it's not a good idea if you have pretty low quality stuff. Some clients like to interlink projects that are not related and it looks bad. There's no harm in having lots of sites that are related to each other doing things, but I'm definitely against the concept of connecting the dots yourself. If you use one social media account to post about things, that's not the end of the world. So I wouldn't worry about it too much: I just wanted to hammer away the idea that having 30 unrelated blogs linked together in the blogroll is a good idea.

I can't really comment much further without knowing the structure of your networks. It's a pretty detailed question that like the previous one would require a lot of input. I think your best bet right now is to start one big megasite, something akin to Free Ones, and start building on that. A well built blog with lots of content can bring a lot of authority, and if you handle it correctly given your dedication to the industry, you shouldn't have much issues bringing in millions of hits a month.

Singular blogs are great, but if you have quality content and a lot of time, build one big site. Find a nice theme on Wordpress, customize it to look real good with multiple pornstars on it and go crazy. You'll be a kingpin in no time at all.

I understand, that not all the links will be there forever, but I would like to make sure, that the work I would invest in the site, would generate, long term results.

1. If the link is as natural as it can get, then yeah - not a terrible idea. You don't want to spam a lot of them, but a few won't hurt you. Just make sure the links are placed in such a way that the user is benefiting from it. As long as you meet that requirement, you shouldn't have too many issues.

2. Linkspun has a few issues associated with it, and I suggest you add people on that site and talk to them directly for in-post links. Widebars and footers are pretty meh. Not terrible, but you'd be getting a better bang for your buck if you got some quality links posted in fresh content. I use Linkspun myself to a small degree and advertise on there - the major issue is the huge number of German webmasters and people hiding their decent sites as to avoid linking from them.

3. That's the most intelligent way to do it, to be honest. Getting links in adult is hard, and I can't reveal too many of my secrets, but being connected and talking to the right people helps a lot. Don't take everything you're offered though: there are some very bad backlink sellers here on GFY. The sell/buy section usually has a few good choices, but I'd suggest you just focus on building content as opposed to getting backlinks. I think Google cares less and less about links for adult and will focus more toward user metrics for its rating of results.

4. There's like 100 methods on here. I'm guessing if someone put a lot of time into this list, most of them are going to be pretty good. I likely use some/most of the methods suggested that are applicable to adult. Of course, the ultimate piece of advice here is to do whatever works. If you find success in linking out and people finding your site and sending stuff back, that's cool. Prefer to write guest articles? Do it. Some people find it harder to do certain methods than others. I'm all about quality written content, so I usually offer deals to other websites where I'll give them free written content and if they want to link to my site, I'll happy accept that. Do what works - that's all that matters.

5. You seem to have quite a diluted pool of content, and my suggestion is to avoid paying for anything that you can't monitor. The best suggestion about a megasite is that paying for links is going to benefit the URL as a whole. It's a diverse strategy that you should definitely be considering. To put my service in perspective: I probably use cash in order to get relevant, useful backlinks about 10% of the time. It isn't my primary source of juice, simply because it's naughty. In those cases where money is exchanged, it's done in a way that actually helps the surfer. I'm not in the business of useless footer links and unrelated 'our friends' pages.

6. Build a great site that people want to link to. Look at where your competition is getting the link action from and try to mimic it. I guarantee you that any pornstar's name that has a site listed #1 will be decent. You produce the product and you'll get linked to: it's as simple as that. It takes a long time, but if you want to be in the game for a while, that's not an issue.

Seriously consider creating one megasite for 2015. I assure you that if you commit yourself to it, you will not be disappointed.

Don't know if I'm being paranoid but I feel as if google knows what I'm working on and just ignores my sites.

1. Hosting is rarely flagged unless you're doing illegal stuff or spamming hardcore. If you're getting 2k uniques a day, I'm probably not going to be convinced you have a penalty. It's hard to know why you're capped, but if you aren't seeing the results you want, consider setting up a new site. Google is an imperfect product, and some sites just don't get the recognition they deserve. It's sort of like the music industry, really: plenty of talented artists aren't getting exposure, whereas less than skillful ones are at the top of the charts. In general what you get is good, but life isn't fair and Google isn't either. I'd say with that many posts, cut your losses and try creating the next 100 on a different site. Then another 100 on another site ... etc. etc. - I'd need to know more about the niche you're in and keywords your targeting to get a better idea, but this is good general advice.

2. Yeah, that's not an issue really. People get paranoid, but I think anything under 100 blogs is fine on the same account. After that, spreading them makes sense just in case something goes tits up. I remember a user on here getting all of his sites kicked in the teeth from Google for having the same whois info and hosting account, but only one of those variables meant his site was fine.

3. I would. Use different whois as well. As far as I know, Google can see under protection masks and even if they can't, it's not hard to use other methods. The main one is aff link: not always perfect, but something to be wary of. Naturally, this only really matters if your sites are bad. Got 100 porn sites that are actually good? Google doesn't care if they're owned by the same person. Fuck, look at Manwin - they're a prime example of how you can get to the top with near-identical things and make millions doing it. If Google doesn't mind about a company making millions a week, I doubt they're going to go after some small fish blogger. As long as you're not spamming, I wouldn't lose your mind too much.

[DonJon69]

Thanks for the advice. I will definitely try all that. Have a few follow up questions.

1. Confused a little about how to use different info for who is. I register my domains all in one place. Should I register some new domains at a different register and put different info on that one for the new domains?

2. How do I hide the affiliate link codes so as not to be associated with the old sites. Can I use bitly or something like that?

Thanks!

I would have some more questions:

1) What is the best amount of text for a Wordpress blog post per domain? Lets say I have 100 blogs, and I would like to update them, on a regular basis. How much text would be enough?

a) one update per 5 days
b) one update per 7 days
c) one update per 10 days
d) one update per 15 days
e) one update per month

How many sings (or, lets say sentences) would be the best way to go, with the above scheduling? I would like to update as many domains as possible, and get the best possible results, as far as the seo goes. In general, how much text is enough, and would it depend on frequency of posting too?

2) What other types of content would you recommend in Wordpress posts? Pictures, picture galleries, embedded videos, mix it all up? If mix it all up (for variety, which I know is good), how to do it? What would be the best way to go?

Thanks.

[Metalwarrior]

Always good to read stuff like that

[NIGHTWISH99]

If making a site, keep it natural growing, not like a robot,

[johnny_d]

This is related to one of the questions, that I've asked before. Would it be like that, that certain types of domains, are better than other for seo? Lets say, in order?

SaraJay.com
SaraJay.net
SaraJay.org
ClubSaraJay.com
ClubSaraJay.net
ClubSaraJay.org
sara-jay.com
sara-jay.net
sara-jay.org
club-sara-jay.com
club-sara-jay.net
club-sara-jay.org

Would it be correct, somehow correct, more or less. If not, how would you organize such domains (or similar ones), in order, as far as predictability of good rankings, if all other factors would be the same.

Would it be better to go with ClubSaraJay.com, instead of sara-jay.net or sara-jay.org? I've been working on sites based on the second type (the last two mentioned here), and rankings have not been very good (for various reasons, we've changed a lot of things for the better too). Would I just go for all .com, with no hyphens. I have a feeling, that this would be the best way to go...

Thanks.
