2) As far as the network of 250 blogs above, would it make sense to get links from Linkspun.com? Is Linkspun.com, in general good, or is it better not to use it at all (as it is not legitimate, and against Google Webmaster Guidelines)?
3) Where else, could I get links for the network of blogs? How would you work on link building here. Just find the best keywords, extract the top 20-50 results in Google.com, and look at their links in Majestic Seo, or some other tool, like this?
4) I am assuming, that step #3 would be correct, and this is what I would need to do. What other link building methods, could I use, for the network of 250 pornstar blogs?
Link Building Tactics - The Complete List
Strategies are listed here. Which ones would you choose, and why?
5) Would it be a good idea, to buy links to these websites from other sources too? If so, how would I find them (except for posting ads on xxx webmaster forums, like this on)?
6) What would be the best thing to do, in order to get high quality, and long term links. I would not want to work on anything like that for 6 or more months, and have to do it all over again in two years, or so. I understand, that not all the links will be there forever, but I would like to make sure, that the work I would invest in the site, would generate, long term results. |
1. If the link is as natural as it can get, then yeah - not a terrible idea. You don't want to spam a lot of them, but a few won't hurt you. Just make sure the links are placed in such a way that the user is benefiting from it. As long as you meet that requirement, you shouldn't have too many issues.
2. Linkspun has a few issues associated with it, and I suggest you add people on that site and talk to them directly for in-post links. Widebars and footers are pretty meh. Not terrible, but you'd be getting a better bang for your buck if you got some quality links posted in fresh content. I use Linkspun myself to a small degree and advertise on there - the major issue is the huge number of German webmasters and people hiding their decent sites as to avoid linking from them.
3. That's the most intelligent way to do it, to be honest. Getting links in adult is hard, and I can't reveal too many of my secrets, but being connected and talking to the right people helps a lot. Don't take everything you're offered though: there are some very bad backlink sellers here on GFY. The sell/buy section usually has a few good choices, but I'd suggest you just focus on building content as opposed to getting backlinks. I think Google cares less and less about links for adult and will focus more toward user metrics for its rating of results.
4. There's like 100 methods on here. I'm guessing if someone put a lot of time into this list, most of them are going to be pretty good. I likely use some/most of the methods suggested that are applicable to adult. Of course, the ultimate piece of advice here is to do whatever works. If you find success in linking out and people finding your site and sending stuff back, that's cool. Prefer to write guest articles? Do it. Some people find it harder to do certain methods than others. I'm all about quality written content, so I usually offer deals to other websites where I'll give them free written content and if they want to link to my site, I'll happy accept that. Do what works - that's all that matters.
5. You seem to have quite a diluted pool of content, and my suggestion is to avoid paying for anything that you can't monitor. The best suggestion about a megasite is that paying for links is going to benefit the URL as a whole. It's a diverse strategy that you should definitely be considering. To put my service in perspective: I probably use cash in order to get relevant, useful backlinks about 10% of the time. It isn't my primary source of juice, simply because it's naughty. In those cases where money is exchanged, it's done in a way that actually helps the surfer. I'm not in the business of useless footer links and unrelated 'our friends' pages.
6. Build a great site that people want to link to. Look at where your competition is getting the link action from and try to mimic it. I guarantee you that any pornstar's name that has a site listed #1 will be decent. You produce the product and you'll get linked to: it's as simple as that. It takes a long time, but if you want to be in the game for a while, that's not an issue.
Seriously consider creating one megasite for 2015. I assure you that if you commit yourself to it, you will not be disappointed.

What do you think about this, could that hosting account be flagged? Is there something I can do? Should I move them to a new hosting account on a new server or just leave them and start over with new sites on a new host?
You said you can start with say 5 blogs and update them regularly, Can they all be hosted on the same account?
If I start with new sites on new host would you suggest not listing them on google webmaster tools and try and hide my association with the new sites?
Don't know if I'm being paranoid but I feel as if google knows what I'm working on and just ignores my sites.

1. Hosting is rarely flagged unless you're doing illegal stuff or spamming hardcore. If you're getting 2k uniques a day, I'm probably not going to be convinced you have a penalty. It's hard to know why you're capped, but if you aren't seeing the results you want, consider setting up a new site. Google is an imperfect product, and some sites just don't get the recognition they deserve. It's sort of like the music industry, really: plenty of talented artists aren't getting exposure, whereas less than skillful ones are at the top of the charts. In general what you get is good, but life isn't fair and Google isn't either. I'd say with that many posts, cut your losses and try creating the next 100 on a different site. Then another 100 on another site ... etc. etc. - I'd need to know more about the niche you're in and keywords your targeting to get a better idea, but this is good general advice.
2. Yeah, that's not an issue really. People get paranoid, but I think anything under 100 blogs is fine on the same account. After that, spreading them makes sense just in case something goes tits up. I remember a user on here getting all of his sites kicked in the teeth from Google for having the same whois info and hosting account, but only one of those variables meant his site was fine.
3. I would. Use different whois as well. As far as I know, Google can see under protection masks and even if they can't, it's not hard to use other methods. The main one is aff link: not always perfect, but something to be wary of. Naturally, this only really matters if your sites are bad. Got 100 porn sites that are actually good? Google doesn't care if they're owned by the same person. Fuck, look at Manwin - they're a prime example of how you can get to the top with near-identical things and make millions doing it. If Google doesn't mind about a company making millions a week, I doubt they're going to go after some small fish blogger. As long as you're not spamming, I wouldn't lose your mind too much.
