The idea about making more sites is good but once they become a large number, you are like glued to the laptop or mobile to manage them, so be careful what you create. lol

Rewrite your content use different synonyms. Maybe switch the point of view a bit. I expect from reading your posts that writing comes fairly easy for you

If I reblog these posts, will that reduce my standing with google because of "uniqueness"?

I have heard that having the same text multiple places causes Google to devalue it.

Why thank you... But I just wanna point out that I have been around for 1 year and 3 months now ;) and I am a little more rich than I was back then. In part thanks to Adraco. Always cool to see this post re-surface

100% true. Good newbie advice right there as well... Think carefully about the niche you go with too before you launch several sites. It seems a lot of people (including myself) started in a niche where they never stood a chance.

First of all a huge thank you to the forum and all contributing members to GFY, specially Adraco. I am new to the business and I have been working on creating content for several months now and am now working on marketing. I may have done the process backwards but none the less that's where I am.

I would appreciate it if anyone could chime in on how the methods Adraco laid out are still relevant to building and marketing a porn business in 2014. Any specifics on what your investing your time and money into are welcome.

Adraco - Wow, this is some great advice!

BoobAssLover · 01-17-2014, 12:41 PM

Adraco, you're a rocker, man. Thanks for the bump.

Just a friendly advice though to the newbies:
From my experience work on one to 2 sites to develop them at their best. Too much of anything do cause problem, in this case, it's their maintenance time.

Thien425 · 01-19-2014, 03:03 PM

I have been thinking about getting back into porn. Does this method still work? Is it worth it to start a porn blog these days?

Then add five domains to each, install a wordpress blog on each domain and post at least 10 posts with a minimum of 5 full sentences on each post, link all these five domains together and also link from each domain to your top site. For each pack of five blogs, use similar or the same anchor text, like "big tits". That should get you noted by the search engines. Also, if possible, deeplink from your blog post directly to a part of your topsite. Like if you have a blog post of Hanna Hilton, then link from that post to a part of your top site like /hannahilton or /blondes or /bigtits or what ever categories you now may have.

2. Buy a few hardlinks from people. The price is hard to tell, because it depends on so many factors, but just read other's posts and see what they will sell and don't go for the absolutely cheapest stuff. Aim to buy maybe 5-10 links your first year.

3. Don't waste your money buying traffic to just throw it at the site. Save your cash and use it for the two above mentioned hosting accounts and to buy a few links.

4. Get yourself a bucket of patience, it will take some time for your sites to be noted and grow. Count on your first six months as a time to get established. During that time you shouldn't focus on reviewing your visitor stats or your earnings stats, just leave it be and focus on development instead.

5. Buy an account at MBposter.com and submit blog posts for your different blogs and maybe top site for a month or two. It will get you backlinks and you also get to see other people's sites, design, what ads they run and such. Kind of like an internship with a big company.

6. Make a sitemap of your top site and submit to Google. A sitemap can be created here: http://www.xml-sitemaps.com. If you don't have a webmaster.google.com account for your top site, now is a good time to activate it. Add your site there and submit your sitemap. While at it, open up webmaster accounts at Bing and Yahoo also.

7. Consider hosting some or all of the galleries yourself. This is much harder and will definitely increase your server bill, but will also give better click through and time on site which will improve your points with Google. Also, this is something few competitiors have the energy and money to do, they are lazy, just like everyone else. So if you go the extra mile, you might very well come out ahead. Have a designer make up say 10 or 15 gallery templates for you and then put the content in there and then add them to your TGP rotation.

That should at least get you started and well on your way. It will definitely keep you busy for the next month or so. Give it 6 months of time and energy, stop wasting money by throwing it away on quick traffic without any real idea of what to do with it. that's the best set of advice that I can give for right now.

This is the best advice you will ever get!

thmvp20 · 01-25-2014, 11:45 AM

Knowing what I know today versus what I knew back then (nothing), in addition to how the value backlinks have changed over the past few years, maybe I'm pointing out the obvious here but personally if I'm going to create a private blog network these days, emphasis on "private". SEO Hosting is good (I've been using aseohosting). To me it's worth it to pay a little extra for hosting that allows each of your blogs to be on a different IP address. As opposed to 4-5 different blogs on the same IP address. Plus use the domain privacy options with your registrar (Namecheap is really good and Privacy comes free with registration). Because If Google can determine you are the webmaster of all those blogs pointing to your money site, the backlinks are kinda worthless. Also keep an eye on those Expired adult websites, there are some diamonds in the rough and inherit ownership of - for example - an established PR3 website with 5-10 pages+ and a decent link profile of its own. Can save you time and money.

videosc · 01-26-2014, 06:49 PM

I also wanted to compliment Adraco on his great advice. I've been adult blogging for several years and all of his tips still hold true today. For a few of them I can offer some additional advice gained from my experience:

1. By all means try to buy the longest hosting plan you can afford. Most hosts offer some super special discount deal to get you to sign up and then once that expires and all your sites are established the price goes up to the regular rate. I learned this the hard way with Host Gator and iCertfied. When I signed up I think it was like $3 or $4 a month and then it went up to about $10 after 6 months or a year. This taught me to be on the lookout for long term deals and last year I got an incredible $4.99 a month LIFETIME hosting plan from AmeriNOC. Woo-hoo!! So for anyone just starting out today I'd recommend buying a 2 year hosting plan. That should give you enough time to see if you can make money doing this.

2. The same goes for domain purchases. If you find a domain name you really like and you think its catchy and popular, buy it for at least 2 years or longer. First of all, Google supposedly likes domains with longer expiration dates than one year domains, and second, domain prices never go down, so you're saving some money with a longer term. Some people are saying that dot coms will become less popular over the next few years as more top level domains come on the market so I'm not sure I'd buy a 5 or 10 year domain. (And of course, don't waste your money on anything other than a dot com.)

3. The Google site map Adraco mentioned can be done automatically in several Wordpress plugins like Yoast SEO and All-In-One SEO, which are two of the most highly recommended plugins to help your site do better in search engines.

4. I'd have to echo the comment about not doing too many sites and spreading yourself thin. Instead of doing 100 sites with 10 posts each I now think it would be better to do 50 sites with 20 posts, or even 25 sites with 40 posts. When I started I ended up buying a lot of domain names for niches I had a passing interest in. If I could go back in time to advise my younger self I'd tell me to only do sites for niches I am REALLY passionate about.

5. A lot of webmasters swear by using Tumblr to drive traffic to their blogs. Some swear at Tumblr for stealing so much of the porn traffic on Google. Still, it might be something worth trying.

6. The idea of creating a campaign for each of your blogs is excellent, although you can't do this with CCBill sites. An alternate idea is to use a link cloaking option like YourLS (http://yourls.org/) so you can shorten your links and create specific ones you can track for each of your blogs. This is also a good idea to prevent a major headache later if one of your sponsors decides to change their affiliate links. With a link shortener its a piece of cake to make the change. Not so much if you have the old, long link spread out over hundreds of posts or blogs.

7. Choose the first CCBill sponsor you sign up with carefully. You will be able to merge all of your subsequent CCBill sponsor sign-ups under this single account so choose a very well established program for the first one. Choosing a new or lesser known program for your first could create a problem if that site goes out of business later.

8. And lastly, I think the one bit of advice that wasn't covered back in 2011 when this thread appeared that really applies today is this: make sure your site is RESPONSIVE! That's web talk for a site that looks good on every device a person might view it on: computer monitor, laptop, tablet and smartphone. I keep seeing more and more traffic coming from mobile devices so if I want to remain competitive I now have to go back and retrofit my blogs so they are responsive. If you're just starting out you have an advantage over dinosaurs like me: launch your Wordpress blog and do a search for responsive themes. There are a ton of them, many free and more in the $30 - $60 range. Even the current WP default theme twenty fourteen is responsive.

Those are just some suggestions off the top of my head. A lot of people here at GFY have given me excellent advise over the years so I hope my words help out someone else just starting out! Then you can come back in a year or two and help out another newbie. Pay it forward, as they say!

Tittytweaker · 02-12-2014, 01:14 PM

I'd read this thread before, and was linked to it again recently in another thread.

Lots of good info here. However, I'm still confused about how someone is expected to maintain dozens of sites. Unless the purpose isn't maintaining them, but rather creating them as "shill" websites, if you will, to link back to your main site.

Is that the basic idea? I guess I'm still sort of confused in that regard. I guess it would explain why the web is so saturated with low quality sites if that's a common technique to get a boatload of backlinks.

If anyone could explain that, I'd appreciate it.

videosc · 02-20-2014, 08:37 AM

Tittytweaker, in my case I have about 80 domains which compared to most adult webmasters is probably on the low side. I regularly update about 20 or 30 of them and the rest are used to link to my other sites. The domains I do not update regularly have very keyword specific URLs that either show up in search results or people just type them into their browser. For example, someone could probably get a lot of traffic from owning a domain like bigtits.com because a lot of surfers will just type that into their browser.

On my feeder sites I have between 10 to 20 blog posts to keep the surfer somewhat interested, but again, the main purpose of these sites is to get them to my bigger, more popular blogs and to create some backlink love. To be honest, I realize this blogging business model is probably out of date but when I started it was the technique that everyone seemed to recommend.

Having said all that I've been giving some thought to selling some of my feeder domains and just concentrating on my biggest sites.

waltgator · 02-23-2014, 10:49 PM

longpig · 03-04-2014, 05:10 PM

A genuinely fascinating thread, a big thankyou to all the knowledgeable folks out there who've contributed to this. A couple of questions:

Firstly, I had read that this blog farm model wasn't working too well any more, is it really so easy to fool Google with SEO Hosting and domain privacy? Does this seem to anyone the kind of system that is likely to get penalised in a 2014 algorithm shift, or do you think it's vaguely future proof for now?

Secondly, videosc mentioned this sort of business model might be nearing retirement - if so, what's the alternative? Is there an Adaco for 2014 to step up and school us on the next big thing?

Many thanks,

Andy (:

Adraco is still here...

It is NOT easy to fool Google, do not even think you can - because Google knows...! The model described above will work, even today, but clearly with a lot less return on your invested time and energy. Nevertheless, it will work and it will earn money if done right.

The alternative today is to build Tumblr sites or other small "few-pages-sites" on free hosts, load it up with ads and sell popunders on the page too. Make the site earn $1 a day and then move on to build a new one. Build-and-forget, with zero costs for domains or hosting, you will start earning a lot sooner.

Nevertheless, you will need some own hosting for your important sites, the one you give some extra love. If you do want to give some credit, please consider signing up for my preferred host, Amerinoc, at the following link:

gfisch · 03-31-2014, 03:57 PM

Amazing thread. Thanks to everybody who contributed over the years. I am managing a paysite for many years but was more involved in content creation, that I never properly did (bad or good) linkbuilding nor (black- or white-hat) SEO. So Panda and Penguin went by unnoticed - although general traffic went down. But this might have other reasons too.

I am also managing a topical social network with nearly 9000 dedicated members. That is probably the reason my site is still existing through direct traffic. But I want to change that.

I am starting to do linkbuilding and SEO and learn a lot. I would have a lot of questions but I just keep my mouth shut for the time being and rather keep on reading and learning first.

Just one comment, because it was mentioned before. Tumblr really is my biggest traffic source right now. I have one tumblr with about 1000 visits a day (4000 followers) and a brand new one with currently 400 visits (650 followers) which is growing very fast. Both are in a very narrow gay niche. Masculine, mature men into big dicks and nipples. If somebody is interested to exchange some ideas I am happy to share some more info.

Regards. gf

I'll add some of my advices as well:

1) Don't forget about collecting your visitors for future repetetive use (Twitter allows adult, Facebook can be tricked for a while, emails..)
2) You can maintain huge amount of websites if you build them to profitable state one by one and then hire someone to take care of the content
3) Secure your sites. Monitor your bandwidth, CPU use, logs etc. Especially on VPS+
4) Hosted content ranks better than embed
5) More than 50 words description even below tube video description do wonders
6) Don't buy low quality, cheap backlinks

What am I missing in this thread???? Build more sites with shitty content, link them back and forth then get more of the same over and over... And make money ???

Am I reading all of this right? Does content counts for anything ..or who cares,
??? Just build 1000 sites, each making a buck a day and you make 1000 bucks/ day

SEO Hosting is good (I've been using aseohosting). To me it's worth it to pay a little extra for hosting that allows each of your blogs to be on a different IP address. As opposed to 4-5 different blogs on the same IP address. Plus use the domain privacy options with your registrar (Namecheap is really good and Privacy comes free with registration). Because If Google can determine you are the webmaster of all those blogs pointing to your money site, the backlinks are kinda worthless. Also keep an eye on those Expired adult websites, there are some diamonds in the rough and inherit ownership of - for example - an established PR3 website with 5-10 pages+ and a decent link profile of its own. Can save you time and money. __________________ On my way out of adult. Nice Fetish Forum for sale HERE Last edited by thmvp20; 01-25-2014 at 11:47 AM..

videosc Confirmed User Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 375	I also wanted to compliment Adraco on his great advice. I've been adult blogging for several years and all of his tips still hold true today. For a few of them I can offer some additional advice gained from my experience: 1. By all means try to buy the longest hosting plan you can afford. Most hosts offer some super special discount deal to get you to sign up and then once that expires and all your sites are established the price goes up to the regular rate. I learned this the hard way with Host Gator and iCertfied. When I signed up I think it was like $3 or $4 a month and then it went up to about $10 after 6 months or a year. This taught me to be on the lookout for long term deals and last year I got an incredible $4.99 a month LIFETIME hosting plan from AmeriNOC. Woo-hoo!! So for anyone just starting out today I'd recommend buying a 2 year hosting plan. That should give you enough time to see if you can make money doing this. 2. The same goes for domain purchases. If you find a domain name you really like and you think its catchy and popular, buy it for at least 2 years or longer. First of all, Google supposedly likes domains with longer expiration dates than one year domains, and second, domain prices never go down, so you're saving some money with a longer term. Some people are saying that dot coms will become less popular over the next few years as more top level domains come on the market so I'm not sure I'd buy a 5 or 10 year domain. (And of course, don't waste your money on anything other than a dot com.) 3. The Google site map Adraco mentioned can be done automatically in several Wordpress plugins like Yoast SEO and All-In-One SEO, which are two of the most highly recommended plugins to help your site do better in search engines. 4. I'd have to echo the comment about not doing too many sites and spreading yourself thin. Instead of doing 100 sites with 10 posts each I now think it would be better to do 50 sites with 20 posts, or even 25 sites with 40 posts. When I started I ended up buying a lot of domain names for niches I had a passing interest in. If I could go back in time to advise my younger self I'd tell me to only do sites for niches I am REALLY passionate about. 5. A lot of webmasters swear by using Tumblr to drive traffic to their blogs. Some swear at Tumblr for stealing so much of the porn traffic on Google. Still, it might be something worth trying. 6. The idea of creating a campaign for each of your blogs is excellent, although you can't do this with CCBill sites. An alternate idea is to use a link cloaking option like YourLS (http://yourls.org/) so you can shorten your links and create specific ones you can track for each of your blogs. This is also a good idea to prevent a major headache later if one of your sponsors decides to change their affiliate links. With a link shortener its a piece of cake to make the change. Not so much if you have the old, long link spread out over hundreds of posts or blogs. 7. Choose the first CCBill sponsor you sign up with carefully. You will be able to merge all of your subsequent CCBill sponsor sign-ups under this single account so choose a very well established program for the first one. Choosing a new or lesser known program for your first could create a problem if that site goes out of business later. 8. And lastly, I think the one bit of advice that wasn't covered back in 2011 when this thread appeared that really applies today is this: make sure your site is RESPONSIVE! That's web talk for a site that looks good on every device a person might view it on: computer monitor, laptop, tablet and smartphone. I keep seeing more and more traffic coming from mobile devices so if I want to remain competitive I now have to go back and retrofit my blogs so they are responsive. If you're just starting out you have an advantage over dinosaurs like me: launch your Wordpress blog and do a search for responsive themes. There are a ton of them, many free and more in the $30 - $60 range. Even the current WP default theme twenty fourteen is responsive. Those are just some suggestions off the top of my head. A lot of people here at GFY have given me excellent advise over the years so I hope my words help out someone else just starting out! Then you can come back in a year or two and help out another newbie. Pay it forward, as they say!

Tittytweaker Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: Dec 2012 Posts: 184	I'd read this thread before, and was linked to it again recently in another thread. Lots of good info here. However, I'm still confused about how someone is expected to maintain dozens of sites. Unless the purpose isn't maintaining them, but rather creating them as "shill" websites, if you will, to link back to your main site. Is that the basic idea? I guess I'm still sort of confused in that regard. I guess it would explain why the web is so saturated with low quality sites if that's a common technique to get a boatload of backlinks. If anyone could explain that, I'd appreciate it. __________________ www.tittytweaker.com

videosc Confirmed User Join Date: Jan 2008 Posts: 375	Tittytweaker, in my case I have about 80 domains which compared to most adult webmasters is probably on the low side. I regularly update about 20 or 30 of them and the rest are used to link to my other sites. The domains I do not update regularly have very keyword specific URLs that either show up in search results or people just type them into their browser. For example, someone could probably get a lot of traffic from owning a domain like bigtits.com because a lot of surfers will just type that into their browser. On my feeder sites I have between 10 to 20 blog posts to keep the surfer somewhat interested, but again, the main purpose of these sites is to get them to my bigger, more popular blogs and to create some backlink love. To be honest, I realize this blogging business model is probably out of date but when I started it was the technique that everyone seemed to recommend. Having said all that I've been giving some thought to selling some of my feeder domains and just concentrating on my biggest sites. Last edited by videosc; 02-20-2014 at 08:39 AM..

longpig Registered User Industry Role: Join Date: Jun 2013 Posts: 41	A genuinely fascinating thread, a big thankyou to all the knowledgeable folks out there who've contributed to this. A couple of questions: Firstly, I had read that this blog farm model wasn't working too well any more, is it really so easy to fool Google with SEO Hosting and domain privacy? Does this seem to anyone the kind of system that is likely to get penalised in a 2014 algorithm shift, or do you think it's vaguely future proof for now? Secondly, videosc mentioned this sort of business model might be nearing retirement - if so, what's the alternative? Is there an Adaco for 2014 to step up and school us on the next big thing? Many thanks, Andy (:

gfisch Confirmed User Industry Role: Join Date: Oct 2004 Location: Germany / Spain Posts: 20	Amazing thread. Thanks to everybody who contributed over the years. I am managing a paysite for many years but was more involved in content creation, that I never properly did (bad or good) linkbuilding nor (black- or white-hat) SEO. So Panda and Penguin went by unnoticed - although general traffic went down. But this might have other reasons too. I am also managing a topical social network with nearly 9000 dedicated members. That is probably the reason my site is still existing through direct traffic. But I want to change that. I am starting to do linkbuilding and SEO and learn a lot. I would have a lot of questions but I just keep my mouth shut for the time being and rather keep on reading and learning first. Just one comment, because it was mentioned before. Tumblr really is my biggest traffic source right now. I have one tumblr with about 1000 visits a day (4000 followers) and a brand new one with currently 400 visits (650 followers) which is growing very fast. Both are in a very narrow gay niche. Masculine, mature men into big dicks and nipples. If somebody is interested to exchange some ideas I am happy to share some more info. Regards. gf

RachelBlackG Elysium Industry Role: Join Date: Feb 2011 Location: Prague Posts: 1,037	I'll add some of my advices as well: 1) Don't forget about collecting your visitors for future repetetive use (Twitter allows adult, Facebook can be tricked for a while, emails..) 2) You can maintain huge amount of websites if you build them to profitable state one by one and then hire someone to take care of the content 3) Secure your sites. Monitor your bandwidth, CPU use, logs etc. Especially on VPS+ 4) Hosted content ranks better than embed 5) More than 50 words description even below tube video description do wonders 6) Don't buy low quality, cheap backlinks
