Let's talk about SEO in porn
 

Content is king apparently. That might be the case in mainstream but we constantly find low quality sites topping Google search rankings with hardly any text and ads blowing up your phone browser

Is there one rule for mainstream and porn is like the wild west?

Simple rules follow all sites.

Content + backlinks + User Engagement + Freshness = Better ranking.

Content based on user intention.

Drop here some samples of the low quality sites, and queries they are ranking for.

:thumbsup

There is no seo in porn :1orglaugh

I have some of the best SEO pages with over 6000 words of custom SEO text made, based on a serious analysis and I am not ranking. It is useless without links.

There are too many factors to give statements like we just did, but links are still number one. I am looking at shit sites ranking from nowhere just based on link building. It is not even a question of quality.

Another example, I was in top 3 for some targeted keywords in the cams niche. As soon as PBN links were lost, the position never came back.

Just look at all those stupid and useless link lists. They are not giving anything useful to the user but still, ranking high. There are plenty of much better-optimized pages for these keywords.

yep , totally agee , simple and step by step

im not really saying the text is there.

Sorry to say this, but they are not. In fact, they will be less and less important factor in the coming days.

it's well known fact that sites with less links have more traffic :1orglaugh

I am waiting for that to happen for years, lol, and I would love it. But at the moment, it is still the most important factor. Elaborating it would take too much time and info shared here in public

How many backlinks you thinks is need for good traffic???

Depends on how competitive the keywords you want are. Also depends what you define as good

i cannot proof it, but i think site metrics like time on site play a secondary role on smaller sites, i guess google also needs to take care about their energy consumption and so decided to scale down analytics , at least if you are not engaged voluntary within their site analytics services . i never participated in their analytics program and i had sites that went totally bonkers due to ssl errors in chrome for several month while they worked fine in firefox...and site metrics should have been terrible because chrome users couldn see the content of my site, but they didnt loose any positions, thats why i come to that conclusion. there are only 2 ways to explain this: 1. much less people then is told are using chrome , or 2. they do not rank, measure via site metrics for sites that do not participate voluntary within their analytics program.

I feel like Google groups all adult sites into one basket and then decides to give them all more or all less depending on the update.

Traffic would depend on the strength and popularity of the page you get backlink from.

You may get loads of traffic from 10 good links and won't get any traffic from 1000s of bad links.

Quality > Quantity.. this is thumbrule for money sites. for tier 2 / tier 3 links, you can spam away..

7 backlinks from here :2 cents: https://hardlinks.org/

7? why not 8, 9? is 7 the magic number

What's your opinion on links coming from sites without HTTPS certificate? Shall we ignore them?

google either counts them or not, if it did any harm to your site, surely you could setup 100 domains on http and flood your competitors with it?

what qualifies a good backlink
 

How would you guys qualify for a good backlink? If we buy links in the footer of headers is that good? or should it be in blogs?

Curious to know what you think

Nah, just wondering shall I get relevant links from people still on HTTP with no plan of going to https

HTTPS is a ranking factor now I think so it will affect their ranking

Another difference between adult and mainstream is that Google presumably never manually checks adult sites. I can't see them employing somebody to quality check the top shemale porn sites, for example.

Spend $50000 a month in links. You'll find the answer really fast

Know anyone who has?

oh yes, sometime 8 will be needed :1orglaugh

Yes, pornhub :1orglaugh

Yup.

Yup.

At scale, you can find out a lot of actionable information really fast.

I've had $10,000/month to spend on backlinks in the past with a medium sized company.

key points to focus for Adult SEO:

Page relevance
Domain authority
The authority of inbound links
The relevance of inbound links
