Hey, Walrus. D?oh! Sorry to hear about that. I won?t give up either. At least the 27 bucks is telling you two things. 1) People are finding your site 2) You must be doing something right on the marketing side since you were able to get some conversion. Maybe reposition your ads? Since I assume your using WordPress and not something more exotic like Drupal or Typo3, why did you spend $40 on a design? There are tons of sites out there with free templates of all different formats for WP. Download one, change the top image, tweak here, tweak there, and your good to go. Perhaps this is just my ignorance showing through, but I think designs like the one you would find at theomegaproject.org are a bit of a waste (design, not coding). Most of the world still uses dial-up and no one goes to these sites to look at the pretty design. Make it look nice, make it look inviting, but that?s it.
?updating 30 blogs a day by hand?? Man, don?t you know everyone exaggerates when it comes to sex? John Holmes looks like Tom Thumb compared to me. See? It?s that easy. Seriously though, that does seem like a tall order for one person. I wonder if they are using some script that sifts RSS, digg, etc. and they simply drag and drop the good ones. I say focus on one or two blogs until you get the hang of it, then scale up. Oh, and if you haven?t already, and you might try looking around problogger, johnchow, and stevepavlina.com for strategies. I don?t know how many will translate to the porn world, but they might be worth a look. One more, bigboobsalert.com network. I believe he (or she) is basically doing the same thing you are.
RocKs - Holy crap. I?m surprised that someone of your stature would answer a guy with, well, now three posts. But ya, I thought I pretty much knew that one. Once again, though, on those torrent sites you have adultfriendfinder, doubleclick, fling, clickhype, etc., mixed on the same page. [Funny story, on a page where you could download Windows Vista, there was an ad for Microsoft (I think it was for MSN). HA!] Either these companies don?t know where their ads are being shown, or they are finally coming to the realization that there is a huge untapped audience in the underbelly of the internet. I do agree though, they aren?t going to embrace overt porn yet, but maybe that day is coming down the pipeline. But I?m sure there are other ways of profiting off the leeches. Build up traffic, then sell it to other porn sites, sell the whole network and build up another one, offer page-per-view/click to smaller adult e-commerce site, like clublez.com for example (are they small? not sure.) Orrr (I?ll stop typing soon) funnel traffic to a less objectionable site, thereby profiting from the leeches, which then drives traffic to the goodies. Maybe wall off the objectionable material by slicing up your site using AJAX scripts? iframes? Aaa, what do I know, I only have three posts.
