You may have seen on eBay and other auctions high pagerank (PR) domains for sale. You may have even considered purchasing one of these domains. How do you ascertain the value of such a domain?

First of all, you must verify the PR by using a free tool such as http://www.seologs.com/pr-check/pagerank.html. You just enter the domain name that you are thinking of purchasing. This site will tell you whether or not the domain actually has the PR that the seller claims.

Then, even if the site has a high PR, it still may NOT be indexed by Google, and if a site is not indexed, that’s sort of like a word not being in the dictionary. Google may think it’s a great word based on the PR, but if they don’t index it, it won’t be found in Google’s “dictionary.”

It may seem inconceivable that Google will give PR to a site they don’t index, but I’ve seen it happen many times. Google explains it’s because the algorithms that index sites are constantly updating, but the algorithms that calculate PR update less frequently, and sometimes the two processes are not in synch.

Be that as it may, I’ve seen high PR domains for sale that are NOT indexed in Google. What you can do to find out whether the domain is indexed in Google is to type site:www.nameofthedomain.com into the search bar. If Google comes back with a page that says, “Your search – site:www.nameofthedomain.com – did not match any documents” — well, the site is not indexed in Google.

You can try the same thing in Yahoo and MSN and see if any pages are indexed in those search engines. If the domain is well-indexed in Yahoo and MSN, and getting a lot of traffic, it may not matter if the domain is not indexed by Google.

However, another important factor in purchasing a domain is how many backlinks, or links from other sites, the domain has. You can type link:www.nameofthedomain.com into Google, and it will tell you which sites are linking to the domain. Once again, I’ve seen sites with high PR that only had one or even no backlinks!

If you are considering purchasing a domain with a high PR that is not well indexed or doesn’t have many backlinks, you’ve got to stop and think for a minute. Google has made it well known that it considers relevant backlinks, among many other criteria, in assessing PR. Now if the domain has no or few backlinks, how long do you think it will keep its PR?

So when considering the purchase of a high PR domain, be sure to perform your due diligence. Two other free tools that will help you are http://reladvance.com/metrix/find_metrics_results.php and http://www.linkpopularity.com. Always check out every aspect of the domain — PR, indexing, and backlinks — using several independent tools. None of the tools are 100% accurate at any given moment, and so it’s to your advantage to use them all and compare results.

Q. Host your own blog? Why would anyone want to do that when there are plenty of well established blogging platforms that will let you set one up and operate it for free?

A: Better SEO, total control, more traffic and more sales – although those reasons won’t apply if you’re not blogging for business!

When I started out blogging I opened a blogger.com account. That worked fine for me at the time because I was new to blogging. In fact, I knew so little about it at the time that I didn’t even realize that I could host my own.

Even if I had realised that, it’s not something I would have given a moment’s thought to. I was too new to working online. I was (still am) totally non-techie and it would have been too daunting a task.

So I happily blogged away on my blogger account until I logged on one day to find that Google had translated all the admin pages into Chinese. I live in Hong Kong so Google, thinking they were being smart, used my IP address as the basis on which to make the decision to translate it.

Not being able to find the help link (because I can’t read Chinese) I logged into my Google account (Adwords, Gmail, etc,) to raise a request for them to translate my blog back to English.

After a week nothing had happened. I’d got no reply and still couldn’t read my admin screens. So I simply decided to transfer my blog to Wordpress.com.

By this time I had learned enough about blogging to have heard that Wordpress was the place to be. So I imported all my old Blogger posts and started to learn Wordpress. Given what I’d heard I was looking forward to great things.

One thing I noticed immediately was that my posts were suddenly figuring much more quickly in the natural search results, so it looked as though at least some of what I’d heard was correct.

And I happily blogged away until…

…one day I tried to log on to be met with a notice telling me my blog had been suspended for infringing Wordpress’ terms and conditions.

Damn!! Twice inside a month I’d been blind-sided by my blogging platform and the second occasion was even more damaging than the first. (It doesn’t look too professional when your visitors are told that your blog has been suspended for infringing terms and conditions).

So, finally, I was pushed into the realization that I had no option but to set up my own blog and (pay to) host it myself.

So off I clicked to Wordpress.org to see what I could find out. And I was pleasantly surprised.

Firstly – the instructions they’ve set out for downloading and installing a WP blog are delightfully clear and easy to follow.

There are a few minimum requirements set out, which pretty much every hosting provider meets. You can always check with your provider if you’re not sure. Mine did, so I printed off the instructions and got going.

First step is to set up the database. Easy to do – the instructions are very clear, include screen shots for every step of the way and are written in simple, non-techie language.

I then downloaded and unzipped the blog files, entered my newly created database details into the config file, (just followed the instructions), uploaded the files and accessed the installation screen via my browser (the URL is provided in the instructions). That kicked off the installation script and I was all done.

It was, literally, a 5-minute exercise.

However, the majority of (adult) hosting providers now give you an even easier method than that: One click installation.

I’ve never done a 1-click installation so I can’t confirm whether it really is one click or whether a few more are involved – but it’s definitely very easy and it doesn’t involve any downloading, unzipping and uploading of files.

So what are the benefits of running your own blog on your own server?

You have total control. You can write what you like, you can drive traffic to affiliate programs, no one is going to translate it into Chinese, and no one is going to lose your database.

You can customize it as much as you like. Customization is done through plug-ins, and there are plug-ins for just about anything you can think of. You decide what you want to do with your blog, then you can either go to the Wordpress plug-in directory or do a Google search for a plug-in for the function you want.

Download the plug-in, unzip it, upload it and activate it through the blog admin screens. It’s that simple. Really.

But of all the sexy things you can do with your self-hosted blog, probably the biggest benefit of all comes from the SEO elements.

This really turns your blog into an incredibly effective way of figuring strongly in the natural search results.

Optimizing your blog for the search engines is simply a question of installing and activating the appropriate SEO related plug-ins. And you can find probably the best list of these in Jack Humphrey’s Authority Blackbook.

If you’ve gone to the trouble of setting up your own, self-hosted blog then you should absolutely download this book and follow the guidelines in there for optimizing it properly for the search engines. Firstly, it’s free and secondly, if you don’t set up your blog properly you’re wasting an enormous portion of its SEO potential. It would be like buying a Ferrari but never taking it out of the city centre.

I’m now using my blog as my primary means of drawing in traffic. I haven’t spent a dime on promoting it – and I don’t have any intention of doing so going forwards. And yet my blog is now attracting a little over 50% of the total traffic I’m getting on a weekly basis – that’s traffic to my blog plus traffic to all my other sites – and that’s almost totally due to the SEO effectiveness of my plugin-rich, self-hosted blog.

Within the next year I’m aiming for that to be well over 80%.

Backlinks Basics: and How Good Websites Go Bad with Backlinks

Topic: Traffic

by Jean Asta from Mainstream Webmasters

If you have a website of your own, it won’t take long before you learn about backlinks. They are an incredibly important marketing tool for websites – and one that is often either underused or misused! Knowing how to get backlinks, how they work, and how building backlinks the wrong way can trash your website’s rankings are all vital topics any website owner should know. What are backlinks? They are simply links to your website from another website. A visitor on a website is looking for information, they click on a link on that website, and it is actually a ‘backlink’ to your website, bringing the visitor to view the linked page. The more quality, relevant, natural backlinks that lead to your site, the higher your site will be ranked by search engines, and the more likely you are to get the traffic you are targeting to arrive at your site.

This all sounds straightforward enough, but you have to be sure that you understand how to get backlinks that will help you – not hurt you. We said in the last paragraph that backlinks have to be quality, relevant and natural. Let’s look at these three requirements a bit more closely.

Quality backlinks are those that connect from a site of quality content. You only want backlinks from reliable, reputable sites – hopefully that also have high search rankings in the related topic area. You do not want backlinks from ‘backlink farm’ sites – automatically generated web pages that simply list link after link to other websites. This once popular ‘trick’ was used to try to fool search engines. But, as usual, the search engines eventually learned this trick too, and now they disregard these sites.

A backlink won’t be quality if it isn’t relevant. For example, if your website is about yoga for pregnant women, you would want backlinks from yoga sites, pregnancy sites, women’s health sites, or sites with other relevant topics. Search engines look to see that backlinks make sense – having a backlink from an office supply store to your yoga site wouldn’t be relevant and the search engine would either ignore the link or knock your ranking down.

Finally, backlinks should be natural. This means that they were built over time and by a process that makes sense. You do not want to suddenly create dozens of backlinks all in the same time frame – these will be flagged as suspicious. But you do want to slowly build a network of quality backlinks that will help the right visitors to get to your site.

You can start building backlinks by looking for sites that are relevant to your own website. Reciprocal links – where you agree to link to a page if they agree to link to yours – are a popular tool that used to work very well. However, search engines are getting more astute all the time, and if you reciprocally link to a site that is irrelevant or of poor quality, that will hurt you more than help you. So you can certainly establish reciprocal links, but do it selectively – only if it makes sense for the targeted audience of both sites.

Another trick website owners once used was to link to their own website from another one of their websites. The problem is that search engines now check to see if your backlinks come from the same IP address as your site. If you attempt to network all your sites together just to get backlinks, you’re going to hurt your rankings. But again, if you have one or two that are logical, that are natural, and that would make sense to your visitors, you can establish a few backlinks between your own sites.

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.

Pricing: 100 words for $2.30 (includes 3 links, 2-3 cropped pictures)

some samples:

#1

I’ve wanted to show this young mailman that mature women are better for awhile now and I finally got him! I talked him into coming into the house and dragged his ass to my bedroom. I hurriedly laid him down and commanded him to stay down while I slowly stripped and showed my perfect round tits and juicy milf ass. He wanted to touch me so bad but I teased him until his cock was rock hard. I played with my wet tight pussy as he drooled and begged to taste me. I sucked his cock and rode him like pro! He pounded me doggy style until he busted all over my luscious ass. I loved being the boss! He’ll be coming back to drop off more than mail from now on.

#2

This naughty MILF’s tits are unbelievable! I couldn’t believe what I was seeing so I had to ask her if I can fondle them myself. At first this slut was hesitant but eventually she agreed and gave me more than what I asked for! She gave me a water show and drenched her sexy ass with water before grabbing my cock and sucking the shit out of it. Of course I wanted to feel those big natural tits all over my cock too, so this hot hoe gladly rubbed her juicy tits all over my hard cock. I got this bitch so horny she begged me to ram her pussy; and I did just that. Watch as these big natural tits bounce up and down.

#3
This sexy secretary just pissed her boss off! He came to work that morning expecting business to be going smoothly but instead this red head secretary fucked up and was late in all her work. The boss threatened to fire her but she pleaded for her position. She convinced her boss but in one condition, she will let him fuck the living shit out of her! This bitch was terrified when her boss showed her his monster cock. She licked his cock like a tootsie roll lollipop and gorged on it until she gagged. The boss munched at this hoe’s tight pink pussy until she demanded for his cock. Her perky perfect tits and small pink nipples bounced all over her boss’s face while she rode him like a pro! She’ll be keeping her job at Reality Kings as long as she keeps her pussy tight that’s for sure!

I’m constantly being asked about text ads and how to create an effective ad. More often than not, the same people who have been asking these questions do have really good text in place but, the ads aren’t working because they aren’t using the correct words to describe the sites they are promoting. They lack something so simple that they are so often forgotten or overlooked by adult webmasters: trigger words.

What Is A Trigger Word?

In marketing, a trigger word, is a word (or phrase) that makes the reader desire your product, and/or words that makes them want to act. For example, if you are selling an ebony gay site, instead of saying ‘ebony gay’ you would substitute the word ‘ebony’ for ‘black’ as this word tends to pull much better clicks than the previous word. Likewise, if you are marketing an uncut site, you would want to include the words ‘uncut dick’ or ‘uncut cock’  in the ad copy somewhere.

How To choose Trigger Words?

Choosing trigger words perhaps isn’t as easy as it could be, most people I know that use trigger words effectively have traffic sources they have used to test how effective certain words are on certain types of sites and traffic sources. That being said, trigger words need to cause an emotional reaction in your reader, therefore, it stands to reason that the more ‘direct’ the wording you use is, the better reaction it is going to get from the reader. In the case of marketing porn, you get more clicks resulting in (hopefully) more sales.

Niche Specific Trigger Words.

As with any aspect of marketing adult sites, there are certain words that work best on certain types of sites, for example, I have found that ‘youth’ works well on twink sites as does ‘boy’ however, over the past couple of years those words have started to be frowned upon so I have opted to use an alternative to them which i have included in the examples below:

Niche. ——– Trigger Word/s.
Amateur ——– Guy Next Door
Bisexual ——– MMF (Male Male Female)
Ebony ——– Black
Foreskin ——– Uncut
Heterosexual ——– Straight
Mature ——– Older
Retro ——– Antique / Vintage / Classic
Twinks ——– Fresh Faced

As you can see from those 8 examples, the trigger words aren’t that far away from wording that we might normally use to describe the various niches. However, by ensuring we use these words or, combinations of them, in our sites marketing efforts, we can at least ensure that surfers start to click our links.

Trigger Words – Overview.

When all is said and done, a lot of us would rather not spend time writing the ad copy to use on our sites but, by spending a little time to think about the words we use and, more importantly, the context we use them in, we can actually increase the effectiveness of our sales copy tenfold. The next time you write a blog post, submit a gallery or build a free site in any of the 8 gay niches I mentioned above, make sure you use one of the trigger words for that niche. If you do, I guarantee that you will notice an increase in traffic from your gallery or site.

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.
