with blogger dead, what are the alternatives?
 

Title says it all, I figure others are wondering the same thing, what do you guys think some good alternatives to blogger would be?

Tumblr, Soup.io, easyxsites.com, pornblogs.xxx ...

For blogs? How about your own site?

Not really sure what the purpose of a free hosted service is? Seems like just a good way to lose a whole shitload of work in a blink of an eye.

No kidding; how many of these platforms have to be pulled from under them before they pick up on that fact?

Tumblr, but they're shutting down more adult blogs all the time now too.

Free hosts are so 1994.

Let's not exaggerate too much. :1orglaugh

How about to buy a cheap shared hosting a domain and start you own blog ?

A while back I worked on some sites at thumbblogger and they made a decent amount of money.

Im sure they would have made money on your own host and you wouldnt have to worry about losing everything due to a policy change or whatever.

thumbblogger was the only good free hosting service, everything else is shit!

PornBlogs.XXX is a free blogging platform for adults only blogs.

MULTIPLE DOMAINS

You can create a free blog, using one of several domains:

PORNBLOG.XXX
PORNBLOGS.XXX
PORNBLOG.SEXY
PORNBLOGS.SEXY
PORNBLOGS.NET
BLOGFAP.COM
MYBLOG.XXX
MYBLOG.SEXY

Each domain is treated separately, so SITENAME.PORNBLOGS.XXX will be different from SITENAME.PORNBLOG.XXX and so on. This gives everyone a chance of securing a really good subdomain. We will add more domains to this list in the future.

INSTANT ACTIVATION

Once you sign up at PornBlogs.XXX your account and blog will be instantly activated, ready for you to begin blogging right away. You have six domains to choose from for your subdomain and you can use any combination of these for your blogs.

WORDPRESS

The platform is based on Wordpress, which most people are already familiar with. This means that you can use all of your favourite blogging tools with the site. We have added our own code that provides extra functionality and we have a roadmap of improvements that we will be making over time to further add value to the service.

We have some special features available in the dashboard of each blog.

Firstly there is Gallery Magic, which allows you to import csv sponsor galleries and have them automatically made into posts. These posts can be scheduled so that new galleries are automatically added to your blog every day.

Secondly Google Analytics is provided right from within your dashboard, letting you view real time statistics, search keywords, referrers and other useful information. All you have to do is add your Google Analytics Property ID into the Google Analytics settings for your blog.

Third, you can import your Blogger blogs from within the Dashboard. Just go to Tools > Import and then authorise the application to access your Blogger account. Import can take a while so please be patient, also note that due to differences between Blogger and Wordpress there may be some clean up required on your part once clean up is complete.

If you run multiple blogs you can manage all of your blogs within a single dashboard, so you only need to register one account.

NINE RESPONSIVE THEMES

At launch we are providing nine themes, all of which are responsive and mobile friendly. Some of which offer unique customisation options to give your blog a distinctive look and feel. Menus are also supported in each theme.

You should feel comfortable that we have chosen themes that will all work with your content and our Gallery Magic feature, so that should you wish to switch themes at any point then your blog will still look great.

NEW FEATURES

In the dashboard we have now enabled Plugins. There are currently two plugins available for your site. If you want to use them on your blog you need to explicitly enable them in the Plugins menu on the dashboard.

AUTOBLOG

The first is the AutoBlog plugin, which allows you to automatically pull content from RSS feeds right into posts on your blog. [Make sure you have permission to use the content you pull or that the feeds are sponsor feeds or your own]

CONTENT SPINNER

The second is One Click Porn Spinner. This content spinner is loaded with tens of thousands of part of speech, phrase and individual word replacements especially selected for porn and adult related content.

When this is enabled all content published to your blog will be spun using our inbuilt thesaurus, phrase and part of speech spinner. The moment you click the publish button what you are posting is spun automatically.

If you are pulling feeds using Gallery Magic or Autoblog then that content will be automatically spun if you have the One Click Porn Spinner piugin enabled.

GET INDEXED IN SEARCH ENGINES FAST

We have a site wide, searchable index of all blogs at PornBlogs.XXX and latest posts are added to our live posts feed. This means that your blog will be indexed by the search engines quickly.

THE FINE PRINT

This blogging service is ad supported, we inject a couple of banners into your blog. You are free to place your own ads on your blog also, however we disallow mobile redirect code or pop up and pop under code on all blogs.

Our aim is to service adult pay site affiliates, giving you a place to promote your sponsors on a spam free and piracy free service. We explicitly forbid linking to file lockers or file sharing services of any kind. We also only allow you to place content on your blogs which is supplied by sponsors explicitly for promoting their programs.

Of course, we discourage spam, so don't register blogs to stuff with keywords and trash, if your blog doesn't meet our TOS then it may be deleted.

We have a three strikes and you're out policy when it comes to TOS Violations and Copyright Infringement. Repeat offenders will be excluded from the network.

BUG REPORTING

Please let us know if you find any bugs in our system, as mentioned in the original post this is still beta, we're ironing out little problems as we find them. On the 1st of March there will be a ticketing support system available to users to make reporting issues easier.

GET STARTED TODAY

To sign up and get your free blog just click here to get started. Please note the service is still in beta so you may find some bugs, please let us know about them in this thread. Given that we're still testing the service with live users you'll need an invitation code to register. The invitation code you will need is GFY01032015

We offer data export, so you can backup your whole blog and download it all at the click of a button. This means you should never lose your data either through server failures or discontinuation.

However to re-assure you PornBlogs.XXX is here for the long term, the platform is just one part of a larger strategy to deliver amazing tools to affiliates and adult webmasters alike.

AdultKings service is easy to use, same as EasyXsites.. both free.
Baddog said it best lol get your own domain and hosting... but nothing wrong with free
hosted blogs for the occasional sale and just more links to your main blogs.

whats with this "Invalid invitation code." am getting!

My bad, just saw it now!

just repeating whats already been pointed out...get your own if you cant afford a domain and a cheap virtual host you shouldnt be in the biz anyhow

dont support anything owned by icm registry like .xxx

.XXX isn't going anywhere and we now live in a world with numerous TLD choices.

I understand some people don't like .XXX so that's why we offer alternatives, so people like you who don't like .XXX don't have to use it.

We have:

PORNBLOGS.NET
PORNFAP.COM
PORNBLOG.SEXY
PORNBLOGS.SEXY
MYBLOG.SEXY

to choose from. Nobody is pigeon holed into any domain extension and we'll be offering some great new .COM & .NET domains in March to add to the extensive range of domains you can choose from. :thumbsup

Waste of time to be getting a sub-domain on a domain without any ranking power. Blogger, Tumblr and Thumblogger were/are easy to rank for so you could make some $ rather easily. Yes, you may have and eventually will lose it all but it was a quick trip to the top and cash in pocket. Unlike...

Johnnycomelately.asshole.xxx isn't going to rank for shit and will put no $ in your pocket.

I agree, so 2006 :winkwink:

I agree w the critics here.
but not trying to get rich from a free hosted blog just seeing whats out there currently.


.

With hosting at seven bucks a month that will cover it.. I never understood why anyone will go with a free host.

none will have the trust and ranking ability blogger did so none ...

It never hurts to have diversity in your portfolio, free blogs also provide another opportunity to put your affiliate links in front of more eyeballs. :2 cents:

that is right! i wouldn't invest lots of time or money in free blogs but easy, free & fast way to get some links

Would never build anything on a free platform without controlling my own .coms. Shit goes bad on a free platform you can redirect your domains and still maintain your traffic. A VPS and a handful of niche domains isn't a major investment. :2 cents:

Then come visit easyXsites - Your Free Adult Host - you can use your own domain and we don't place banners on your site to steal your traffic :thumbsup

This.


On the other hand I am now looking to pull my mainstream blogs of Blogger now as well. Not that I didn't have hosting, it was a great way to spread inbound link locations and was indexed like lightning.

Don't want to go the WordPress route if I can avoid it. Any other suggestions?

They changed their minds.

I always put blogs on my own domains, on my own host. It saves a lot of headaches.

Domains....cheap Vps... Installing your own Wordpress is a no brainer. As long as you renew your domains and pay your monthly bill you don't have to worry about losing your work.

They're not changing their policy on commercial porn.

xobler.com is another wordpress one.
