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

Now you can easily cloak, track and share any URL on the Internet from your WordPress website. Unlike other link shrinking services like tinyurl, budurl, and bit.ly, this plugin allows you to create shortlinks coming from your own domain! Pretty Link Pro tracks each hit on your URL and provides a full, detailed report of where the hit came from, the browser, operating system and host. Pretty Link Pro is a dynamite plugin, created by Blair Williams, for people who want to cloak their affiliate links, track clicks from emails, increase the reach of their website by spreading their links via Twitter, on forums or with comments on other blogs.

This is just a few of the features of Pretty Link Pro:

Great things you can do with Pretty Link
•Clean up / mask affiliate links or merchant shopping cart links
•Track the effectiveness of email campaigns by embedding Pretty Links in your emails
•See how many times an email is opened by creating a “Tracking Pixel” Pretty Link and embedding it in the email
•Kickstart and Fuel the SEO on your site by posting Pretty Links from your site on Digg, Twitter, Facebook, other blogs and everywhere else on the Internet.
•Create Pretty Links for private special offers (to your email list) using a randomized slug to prevent the URL from being “guessed”
•Write custom scripts in PHP, Ruby on Rails, ASP or anything else that accept parameters and use Pretty Link to make their URLs “pretty” and forward on the parameters
•Setup pretty links for your zip, pdf & binary files and track how many times they are downloaded
•Use to track results of your PPC campaigns by setting your ads to go to Pretty Links
•Track Everything!

I know I’ll be adding this to one of my affiliate blogs and testing it out asap!

Note from the developer, Blair Williams: If you have the free version of Pretty Link, please be aware that it can no longer cloak and track links, as WordPress has decided to disallow link cloaking in any plugin offered free via wordpress.org. I had to create a Pretty Link Lite that doesn’t include cloaking and a few other options. You can, however, regain all of the features outlined (in this post) with Pretty Link Pro.

The following excerpt is from a very detailed tutorial about what custom post types are, and what you can do with them by Justin Tadlock.

One of the things I’ve been hoping would be implemented in WordPress for years is the ability to create custom content types. The inability to do this has been WordPress’ weakest point when compared to rivals in the CMS market.

In WordPress 3.0, we’ll have the capability to easily create and manage content via custom post types. Not only that, but you won’t have to rely on a plugin to do this for you. It can be done via your theme’s functions.php file with a few lines of code.

There are other 3.0 features such as menu management and multi-site, but this is the most promising feature coming. In this tutorial, I’ll walk you through the creation of custom post types and how they can be used for your blog. Read more »

2. New: Converts video to FLV automatically (or to AVI, MPG, WMV, etc).
Script can convert videos on-the-fly for you while you are grabbing them from galleries or uploading from your harddrive. You will get any video format you need. We recommend you to convert videos to FLV format to get embeded videos on your blog.

3. New: Builds Embedded/Non-embedded video galleries.
You can create video of different types:

You can create a non-embedded video gallery from FHGs. Script will grab the videos, create thumbs, and arranges them within your template and produce a published gallery in a few clicks.

We have created an ultimate tool for you. Why do you always have to use predifined thumbs for video galleries? Now you can select a frame you want using our Manual Frame Cropping. Just drag a slider and you will see another frame. Nothing difficult! Moreover, you can easily crop it in your browser.
Note: ffmpeg is required for frame selection, if you don’t have it, you can create video gallery with predefined preview thumb only.

From the forums and Adult Webmaster Industry board “Klixxx” comes this tutorial article by Tiffany Garden about using RSS feeds to build your network of blogs.

By Tiffany Garden, October 2008 | Klixxx Webmaster Magazine

So, you’re starting your blog empire, but you just realized that means a heck of a lot of writing. Now many people do end up outsourcing their daily updates and just take care of things on the backend, but for those of you that would rather do everything yourself, there is a simple and elegant solution to filling up your blogs with plenty of content – RSS feeds.

RSS is a protocal that stands for “Really Simple Syndication”, but this article isn’t going to get into the nuts and bolts of how RSS works. Instead, this one is going to cover exactly where to find great RSS feeds to use as search engine fodder.

There are a few things that really make or break a RSS feed. If you aren’t going to be doing any of your own updates, finding ones with consistent updates is very important. Some sponsors are really on the ball with this, but the vast majority of them keep it going for awhile and then get bored. This is probably because getting blog traffic is a long term type of strategy, and it can take some time to see a return on investment.

The next thing you want to look for is well written text that is long enough to keep the search engines happy. Some RSS feeds are literally nothing more than glorified gallery descriptions – you get one short line with a crappy thumb and that’s about it. Now, it’s possible that you have accidentally stumbled onto the actual gallery RSS, but chances are the sponsor doesn’t really know what blog feeds require.

The longer the better, usually, but in general you are looking for 50-100 words. The last thing you want to look for are eye catching thumbs. Your text will get the visitors there via the search engines, but good pictures will keep them there and clicking though to your sponsors.

There are so many different RSS parsers that it would be impossible to cover them all, both free and paid. If you’re using WordPress there is a world full of plugins that you can try out – the one I personally have used is Feed WordPress. There are stand alone scripts (Blogs Organizer) and hosted scripts and any other type of script you can think of – the main thing to do is just try them out and see which one works for you. The best kind have some sort of rewriting function so that you can swap out enough words to make the feed post unique to your blog. That way, you can actually get ranked instead of competing with everyone else that is using that feed. Now you just sit back and let the script handle it.

If you’re in a smaller niche that either doesn’t have RSS feeds at all, or they are just crappy ones, there is another solution – you can make your own. Now there are two scripts that I know of offhand for this – one free and hosted, the other paid. The one I use most often is the paid script called Gallery Scraper. This allows you to input a list of hosted galleries, it generates the screenshots for you, and then you just put in the text. You do need an RSS parser for the actual feeds, but the amount of time saved by these pre setup galleries is just mind blowing.

The other script that will do this is Gallery2Blog. It is not quite as elegant as Gallery Scraper, but it is free and hosted elsewhere. Like Gallery Scraper, it will generate the screenshots for you from a list of hosted galleries, and all you need to do is put in the text. This one also requires a separate RSS parser.

Although high quality handwritten blogs do very well, it is very hard to build up a huge network of those. The time and/or money sink is just gigantic, and sometimes you don’t have much luck with a particular niche. So making a combination network of both handwritten and RSS fed blogs is one way to really build yourself up without much of an outlay. With theRSS automated, you’ll have plenty of traffic generation to feed your handwritten blogs, along with income coming in from these.

Whether or not you want to actively promote your RSS blogs is up to you – the thing that I did was just make niche directories that I could dump all of my RSS blogs into. I did make my handwritten ones prominent in these directories, but the hubs like this also make it easy to keep track of just how many blogs you have per niche.

So whether you’re a diehard blogger looking for ways to expand your network painlessly, or you’re a blog newbie looking for some advice, hopefully you have found plenty of useful tips and ideas! Now get to blogging.
