A free tube porn site with full-length videos or extended trailers will inevitably have the odd video shared and linked to in forums and elsewhere without the webmaster having to make any effort.

How do you get backlinks for an affiliate blog with short trailers?

'Link exchanges' are supposedly a bad practice according to Google, and you'd think Google can easily detect it these days (including 'A-B-C' trades). Sometimes I've even been refused a link exchange by another webmaster for this reason.

The same is true, or much worse, for linking between your own sites.

Obviously, you can post on Social Media, but these are all 'no follow' links, so good for traffic only?

Is paid links the only way to go (against Google's rules, but harder to detect, and perhaps not applied so much anyway for porn sites)?
