Need help on where to start with my new story website
 

Hey Everyone,

Okay, so, I already made an announcement about my new erotic story website, (completely free site) unfortunately for me, I've been spending way too much time reading threads than posting!

So, I haven't hit that 30 yet but I'll get there soon! The website address is in my signature though.

So, here's where my questions start, it's new, I know time is key. I'm in no rush but I do want to start off on the right foot.

All I have on there are stock stories, I need to get some traffic there, so, real people can hopefully start submitting their own stories.

What advice might you all be able to give me, maybe a broker? Should I spend a little cash on adverts with anyone on GFY? I have no traffic to "trade" Maybe promised links back to their sites?

Finally, how long until I think about affiliates programs etc? All advice is appreciated and feel free to shoot me an email!

Thanks!

First start with a little SEO, search engine traffic is free. You should have better titles on the pages. Your home page title should not just be carnalit.com. Use something like Hot Erotic Sex Stories at Carnalit.com. Get keywords in there and the site name.

Some people say a keywords meta tag and description meta tag don't matter anymore. I disagree personally so use them, good keyword metas and a good description help as far as I'm concerned.

Put some pictures i with all your text. Choose images that go with the story line. Make sure that at least one good pic appeares for each xstory on the home page. Then have other pics appropriately placed within each story. Myself, I would have each picture linked to a sponsor possibly with a caption that says "pic provided by [sponsor] with some good keyword text following it to avoid pissing off sponsors that don't like blind links.

You should already be passing hits to sponsors. Since you aren't start doing it. They can provide the pics or your stories.

Thats about all I have to offer. Remember I could be wrong as I often am:p

Meta descriptions are important for clicks, but the keyword tag is something to avoid. :thumbsup

Keywords and description meta tags do not have any impact for rankings. You can remove keywords tag. Description meta tag has big impact for CTR on SERPs, good creative ones generate more clicks (together with a good page title)

Thanks, I stand corrected. So. OP. get description metas into your pages and ignore what I said about keyword metas.

Good Luck.
