Random Blog Stuff
It seems these days that a blog of some sort is needed to work or simply keep up with the search engines.I get a little play from SEO traffic but I know I can do better if I were to expand my content.Iv'e been wanting to add a blog to dickheadshit.com for a while now but I'm a bit foggy on a few things and am just now getting around to asking about them.Some questions are blogish and others are a bit SEOish and some are just dumb questions I really should know the answer to but somehow managed to survive anyhow.Also it's almost 5 am on a Sunday morning so I might be just a little off
 |twinkle |twinkle |twinkle 1.If you have a site that is clearly a porn site in the search engines,if I suddenly started a blog with random off topic posts on politics etc. would google say 'this site has fresh,unique content that surfers might like' or 'this site is completly off topic and provides little or no value for the surfer'?? 2. Some blogs I see are contained within a directory 'myblog' etc. and others are placed within the root such as ttp://mysite.com/ Does it make any difference? 3.Do I HAAAVE to install blog software to get SE's to notice it? I would really just rather use my current WYSIWYG editor to do it. 4.Although I lean more to the left,I consider myself sort of a independent so I guess it wouldn't matter but just out of curiosity,for those of you doing political blogs,do you end up cutting your traffic in half between democrats and republicans?That would kind of suck.Also,anyone ever fuse politics and porn? ( I'm talking BSP - before Sarah Palin here ) 5.Do porn surfers even read what you guys are writing?To me,reading and surfing for porn just don't jive.Also,do you guys even care if it's interesting to read or do you just 'talk' to google and hope it makes sense? 6. Do blog posts containing random youtube.com video clips entertain surfers or does it bore them by the looks of your traffic? On one hand I think it's sort of a cool,easy way to give a blog a pulse but on the other hand I'm thinking if I wanted to watch whatever video,I would just go to youtube.com and search for it. 7.Is a daily blog something you bloggers write with ease or does it become a constant struggle to find something to talk about? It seems like after a month or 2 the 'writers juice' could dry up and the whole thing would get old. 8. When starting a blog on a already existing site containing a home page,is it safe to assume that my blog page will eventually take over and become my new main page by SEO's? Anyhow,I hope the above came out right and made sense.

I'm certainly no expert but I'll throw in some sporadic thoughts...
I ran a quasi-general topic blog/hybrid adult site once. While I enjoyed it and I think people enjoyed reading it it sort of imploded on itself. I lost its focus. One day I'd be writing my editorials about Canadian politics and my hate on for celebrity, the next I was posting links to free hosted galleries and fawning over the model's amazing tits. Then, I wondered if I should just drop the titties and go the traditional advertising route. But the domain was clearly adult. So I dynamited the project and wiped it away. Another problem I had was that I was constantly censoring myself. There were just words I didn't want on an adult web site (like names of video games) in case it started drawing in the wrong type of traffic (ie. people looking for video games, mainly non-adults.) While I abandoned that idea I still use the blog format for adult web sites. I tend to stay on topic. There are two types of adult blogs as far as I'm concerned: spam blogs and content blogs. The spam ones post a pic, a link to a sponsor, and some gibberish SEO text. They might bring in the SE hits but no one is bookmarking them. Then there's the content blogs. They might have their own built in galleries, links to galleries, stories, interviews, whatever. I do believe people bookmark these sites. They should have a focus though and some well written text. Maybe some humor. And then maybe some political musings here and there. I would recommend using Wordpress or some other blogging software if you want your blog to scale well in the future (if you anticipate it becoming a popular destination within your site.)

Even though I'm happy with it,I feel I lost my vision and it lacks the smart ass,fuck you attitude that it should have if it weren't for my self censoring problems.Also,my personality translates into text horrible so I can end up sounding like a total piece of shit or just stupid by a casual reader if I'm not careful.

In my opinion, most adult bloggers focus way too hard on trying to please the search engines. While it's true that the ability to generate SE traffic is one of the strengths of blogging, I disagree that this is a blog's greatest strength. The greatest asset a blog has is the ability to generate buzz and in my experience this is the difference between a mediocre blog and a successful blog.
Instead of asking the question "would somebody actually read this blog?" ask this question instead. If I were a surfer and I came across this blog would I find it interesting enough to show it to someone else? That applies to any style of blog whether it be adult, political or whatever. I haven't been doing this very long but I can easily look at all of the blogs I've done so far and tell you that there is a clear cut difference between the ones that are successful and the ones that aren't. The ones that do well get lots of comments, they get posted to forums, people post them on their own blogs etc. Not only do you get free backlinks out of the deal but you will basically have people out there selling your blog for you. Generally speaking, I'd say this traffic blows SE traffic away because a lot of times guys are showing your blog to the people that are most interested. This is the approach that I take to all of my new blogs now and I've had to rethink how I approach some of my older blogs but I can already see the difference it's making. Not just in terms of traffic but my conversions have started to go up as well. I also want to add that if you aren't enjoying yourself while you're writing a post, than chances are it's not that interesting of a read either. I say DON'T censor yourself. In fact, just the opposite. Be a smart ass, go with the fuck you attitude if that's what works for you. What's the worst that could happen? You piss off Bill O'Reilly and you end up on Fox News.....GOOD! That's Buzzzzzzzz..... Last edited by Element115; 2008-10-27 at 12:05 PM.. |

blogging is really quite beautiful...
research niches/domain names for those niches buy a dom with some keywords in it do basic SEO for your theme, cats, etc etc make unique blost posts with lots of text. fill in the gaps/add content with some morphing RSS feeds keep it updated = traffic will just keep building and building generally.. it's like a magic pill.. rly |

 For some reason I love how you can just choose a different WP template and make your whole blog look completely different including previous posts at any time.

One thing I will comment is if you choose to put it in the root domain, then , oh submit galleries to the hun on that domain and use the seo re-write mod in wordpress, you can cause some slow-down issues on your server, because your .htaccess for the rewrite being in your root domain, every hit is filtering through that. I had this happen to me, and had to move my blog. It only caused issues though when I had that much traffic.
After I moved one of my blogs off the root, I noticed no traffic, then I noticed yesterday the traffic is picking up, but no referrers. It looks to me like people actually are bookmarking it, which makes me feel good. Now, my blogs I have left on root domains, I won't submit those to TGPs. FYI
