Tips, Tools and Tutorials for Making Money with Adult Themed Blogs | Adult Blog Builder

Third party custodian of records service, 2257Safe.com is now open for business. Recent changes to 18 USC 2257 and 28 CFR 75 now permit third party record keeping of your 2257 records. 2257Safe.com claims to have the best web based, record keeping solution. One of the benefits of 2257Safe.com is anonymity. Your personal address information, or office location, can be shielded from being publicly displayed on your website.

2257Safe.com provides you the peace of mind that comes with knowing that your 2257 records are safe, secure and organized. 2257Safe.com was designed to take the inherent hassle out of 2257 record keeping so you can focus your time on more important matters such as growing your business.

2257Safe.com was designed for the needs of the small to medium size primary and secondary producers with affordable membership plans to fit the budget of anyone required to store and maintain 2257 records. The company was conceived and designed by a team of individuals who are extremely familiar with the requirements of 18 USC 2257 and 28 CFR 75. The team behind 2257Safe.com consists of adult industry attorney, Michael Fattorosi, YTracker software developer, Dan Underhill, and adult industry insider, Kevin Blatt. Together they are uniquely qualified to understand your needs in maintaining proper records.

” We have been designing and testing this system for more than six months, as many companies who beta tested this product can attest, we have developed the best web based solution for third party record keeping.” Blatt also goes on to say, ” All United States based adult companies need to keep their records current under 18 USC 2257, and we have developed a web-enabled system that everyone can use to manage their own records that is very user friendly and simple to learn”.

Dan Underhill introduced YTracker in 2005 as a desktop 2257 record keeping application and it was greeted with great enthusiasm. Since its release our user base has been wanting to see the functionality that we have achieved with 2257Safe, but at the time 3rd party record keeping was not an option which limited what we could do with the program. According to Dan he is “absolutely thrilled to have the chance to the take all of the field-tested features of YTracker and use it as the basis for a completely brand new, web-enabled application that goes where YTracker could not before. YTracker is still a great tool for those not needing 3rd party help, but 2257Safe’s Application has taken the process of convenient record keeping to a whole new level.”

2257Safe.com’s premium services are available to all clients large or small. You only pay for the hosting space required to store your records, not the number of records in your database. 2257Safe.com’s automatic file compression functionality provides greater than 90% in file space savings from the original files that you upload. Since high quality, consumer-ready files are not needed for the sake of your records we can make sure you are only storing only the quality that is needed. The system is hosted on PCI-DSS Servers. PCI-DSS compliance is the gold standard among security-based data storage. 2257Safe.com’s servers are PCI-DSS compliant and that translates into safety and security for your records.

2257Safe.com’s plans start as low as $9.99 a month for a gigabyte of storage.

There are a couple of programs out there designed to help webmasters quickly see their sales stats without having to log into every sponsor’s program site, or to CCBill or Epoch to get them. One that I found to be extremely easy to use is Niftystats. Basically you install the program on your computer, open it up and go down the sponsor list and fill in your user name and password for each one you use and that’s it! Every now and again you’ll get reports about sales you’ve made, but I especially like the big smile that jumps onto my face whenever the little sales bubble pops up in the corner of my computer screen letting me know recent sales activity!

What is Nifty Stats?

Nifty Stats is a desktop utility, which automatically in regular intervals downloads the stats from your affiliate programs.

Nifty Stats brings automated statistics right to your desktop for any time frame pre-defined by you – and it shows these stats in real time and on a regular basis. It is 100% safe and the entire communication runs just between your computer and the server of your affiliate program. Nifty Stats currently supports over 500 sponsor programs, including Google Adwords, Google Adsense, Yahoo and Commission Junction.

They offer a Pro Version and a FREE version! Download NiftyStats Now!

Free for Bloggers and Webmasters! Oh how I love free stuff. But beware! Some free stuff can cost you big time! I’m all for people getting and retaining credit for their hard work, especially for themes that are freely shared amongst the masses … BUT I also want to know just what is being served up off of my server. Themes and shareware that comes with a disclaimer stating I can only use the them so long as I  “don’t touch this encrypted code” giving so-and-so credit that is loaded into the footer.php file of my possible new theme is going to be de-coded before it ever graces one of my sites. I’m not going to be happy to find out I’m throwing around ads to casinos, launching popups, relaying hacking / tracking information, or installing malware viruses just because I want to use the pretty free theme.  And it should concern you as well.

Not sure yet what I’m talking about? Read on.

After you download a batch of free template themes, or even some shareware files are doing this too, go into them one by one, and open the footer.php with something like Wordpad, Notepad or Dreamweaver.  If you see encoded files or rather scripts where you can’t see or modify the source then you’ll want to get that decoded. These encrypted files can be identified by the starting line which is like: eval(gzinflate(str_rot13(base64_decode. Then it goes on with a mass of random numbers, letters and characters like ‘FZi3ksTWEVJ/hZnITwDvV’ and so on.

You can use the method outlined here on Proxyutza.com to create a little script in three steps that will let you decode and actually see what has been included in that free theme or shareware file before you upload it to your site.

I haven’t always checked what’s in some of the themes I’ve mentioned in the past, but I will be diligent about doing so from here on out. Be especially cautious about downloads on sites that aren’t the “original” site for the theme. It is easy enough to setup a “free template” site and host a bunch of themes that the guy has added his nasty encoded scripts into.  Just one theme tonight we looked at using contained a multiple scenario of malicious malware installs, casino popups, and other timed ads. What a load of rubbish! So protect yourself, your clients and your server … find out what’s in those encoded footers before installing them!

The Hall of Costumes Wordpress Theme, offered on Top WP Themes, is a dark brown theme, with a sepia/retro look to it.  It  features an erotic dancer in net stockings and a man’s suit jacket, hat and tie, posed in a sitting position on the right side of the header. The free theme is a two column, fixed width design and is both widget and adsense ready.

The following is an outline of how to squeeze the most mileage (and profits) from your weekly routine of gallery production.

On Monday decide what niche you’re going to build for this week. IE: amateur, Asian, bareback, gay for pay, Latino, group sex, Jocks, solo babes, etc.  Pick just one to use for the entire week. For this tutorial let’s do Jocks.

Now build 2 galleries that fit the Jock niche. This can be one gallery of one sponsor and then another gallery of another sponsor, or both galleries can feature the same sponsor site. Be sure the banners/links you use are for the site you got the content from.

Add your recips to the galleries and submit them to the tgp sites.

Put links to the 2 galleries on your hubsite  (or a text gallery page on your blog) Be sure to use clean copies, not showing recips, for these listings.

Add them into your tgp system if you have a tgp. (Real or fake tgp, doesn’t matter, and you can manage and build those types of sites with the Sites Organizer as well).

Now take the 2 clean galleries and make a 4 page style freesite.
pg.1 Warning page with good descriptive keyword title (Jocks Fuck in Lockerroom) and text, banners and link list recips, and keyword/title hyperlinked to the main page. (Enter for Jocks Fucking in Lockerroom)

pg.2 Main page with thumbs to the galleries, and footer circlejerk links.

pg 3. and 4. the 2 Jock galleries.

(How to structure your free site circle jerk and naming method is a different tutorial)

Submit the freesite to the link lists you’ve chosen to use.

Blog about the content you used and link out to your galleries.

Lunch Time

Either repeat the above after lunch, or work on other projects. For this tutorial I’ll assume you just make 2 galleries and 1 freesite per Monday, Tues and Wed.

Tuesday – repeat above.

Wednesday – repeat above, except after lunch we’ll do an AEN (also known as an AVS)  site.

Wed. afternoon — take 5 of the 6 galleries and bundle them into an AEN site.
Submit it to the AEN, and to the link lists that take the AVS site submits. (once you understand what you’re doing and how to set these up, you can submit the same material to more than one AEN)

Add the AEN link onto your hubsite. Go blog about the AEN on your blog using your refer link for them to join whatever AEN you’re using.

Thurs. – repeat the 2 galleries and 1 free site routine.

Friday – in the morning do the 2 galleries and freesite routine, and in the afternoon, gather up the remaining gallery from Wed and combine with Thurs and Fri and do up another AEN site.

In 5 days you have created and submitted 10 galleries.

Added 10 galleries to your hubsites and your own real or fake tgp sites.

Blogged about 10 different sets of content

5 Niche specific Free Sites created and sent to the link lists. (these get built into a circle jerk — a different tutorial)

Five free sites that you can add links out to on your hubsites.

Two AEN sites at the minimum. You will have more if you understand how to submit them to more than one AEN. Plus you’ve blogged about the Jock AEN sites with a link out to each of them.

Are you the site owner/sponsor? Then follow this system and the following week you’ll add those 10 galleries into your affiliate tools, and add those gallery blog posts to the affiliate coded rss feeds. (This works if you’ve put the original clean gallery into your fhg system and used that link in the posts). And you can probably affiliate code the freesites for tools usage as well. Only thing you can’t get extra mileage out of for the affiliate is the 2 AVS sites and their posts.

A juggling act for sure … but a tried and true method for getting the best overall mileage out of those tgp galleries you’re making everyday. And to make the job even more streamlined, check out the Sites Organizer to handle each of the above types of site production, with the exception of the galleries.  For gallery production I recommend Arylia.

Arylia Gallery Builder is a full-featured picture and video gallery creation tool. Many webmasters build their galleries by hand.  They visit a sponsor’s website, download a bunch of images, pick 12 of them, create thumbnails of all 12 by hand, place each thumbnail in their gallery template, link them to full-size pages containing each image, add banners, check linkcodes… etcetera. This process can take an hour per gallery, or longer! Arylia does all of this for you in about 30 seconds, so you can get back to more important things. Check out all of the specs here: Arylia Gallery Builder.

If you’ve been looking for a wordpress template that would be perfect for a video or film related blog, this Film-Reel template from ThemeLab should do the trick!

Film Reel is a basic black and grey color scheme with 2 columns, and the sidebar is on the left side of the design.

I’m pretty sure we’ve all done it… or will. We hit publish and then see some silly typo or error. But, alas, the feed has flashed out over the internet and into your reader’s view, with the errors front and center. If you’d like to be able to delay your feed from publishing by a few minutes so that minor errors could be caught and fixed, you’ll find the following code hack from WP Engineering a real blessing. If you put the following syntax in the functions.php of your theme, then your feed will be published always 5 minutes later. Of course you can adjust the time, and the units, if you need to.

Note: if your theme doesn’t have a functions.php, then create one.

/**
* puplish the content in the feed later
* $where ist default-var in WordPress (wp-includes/query.php)
* This function an a SQL-syntax
*/
function publish_later_on_feed($where) {
global $wpdb;

add_filter('posts_where', 'publish_later_on_feed');

Thanks to WP Engineering for this sweet little hack to delay the feed publishing time!
