Outsourcing...

That's what i do.
You think i'm gonna build and update 250 blogs this month myself?

As i said in another thread my time is worth more than that. Yours should be as well.

The only time i spend on blogs is setting them up and doing the links.

In Thumblogger, there is something called a 'shared box' in the boxes area. That box is the same html for every single blog made in TL. So for example I'd name that box "links" with 5-10 backlinks and maybe a couple ads then put it in the sidebar of every TL blog that I make so that when I add/change links to that box, I only have to change it once and it changes everywhere. It's kinda like footer links on WPMU setup but with Thumblogger :thumbsup

lol, blogging is kinda my thing :winkwink:

Ah yeah i saw it on TL but didn't pay attention to it yet. So you put the links in 1 box and it adds it on all your blogs. Right?

I make blogs whenever I feel like it now since I also do local website/logo design, full time student and mainstream projects. Some days I make 100 some I make just a couple. I did just figure out a way to churn out non-duplicate blogs set to update daily for a couple years at a time super fast so we'll see if things change ;)

Right. But be sure to move the shared box over on all of your blogs for it to show up :winkwink: It's useful because when you want to change links, you only have to do it once. And it really helps SEO on those links.

You pull RSS feeds and spin the content right?

Good tip, thanks.

No, better than that. Hard to explain without giving it away since I've never seen it done before..

Oh just share it here...don't worry about it. People won't copy it.

lol. Last time I did that I got yelled at by a few reps for giving away too much info.. :Oh crap

Here's a tip: Instead of checking your stats again, make yourself work on a new blog. If you cut down stat viewing and random surfing, you'll get so much more done. :winkwink:

Also, when you're blogging, keep asking yourself "How can I do this faster or more efficient without risking quality or SEO?"

Wanna convert better?

Make you own gallery in your post.....
-First picture as big as possible.....link to tour
-3 next thumbnail pictures in small size (4 in that row).......link to full size pictures
-4th thumbnail picture (use a very explicit picture that will get the surfer to click).....link to tour
-Next make your 50-100 word post
-Catchy Phrase like ''Click Here For More Pictures of that Dirty Slut!''.....link to tour
-Banner............link to tour
-Catchy phrase under the banner.....link to tour


Voila!

Great but impossible to do on 100's of blogs.

I'm feeling nice so if you email me at col.mike7 at yahoo.com I'll show you my way to make over 100 blogs/day easily. The longest part is typing in meta info.. :thumbsup

I'm feeling you're nice as well :)

Mailing you now.

You know 50 other people will mail you as well right?

lol, I had a feeling. I'll just set up a vacation auto reply selling some of my hookahs :winkwink:

Haha you should.
Mail is sent btw.

When you guys spin off a blog, how many daily SE clicks do you hope to get after say 2-4 weeks online.

What's your low, medium and high estimates, and do you find it changes when you make a quality blog vs doing a shitload of crappy spawned ones per site?

It all depends on the keyword I'm targeting and the niche.
My traffic per blog goes anywhere from 1-8,000ish each

I only do original handwritten blogs...so far...

You have mail. :thumbsup

8k a day after a month?

Yeah. It all depends on the keyword I'm targeting and I do a lot of research to find high searched and low competition keywords that takes no time at all to get traffic on.

Maybe not 8k after 1 month, but at least 1-2k on a lot of them

Thanks man! I owe you one! It's awesome!

Thread grows fast. Blogging threads seem to be very popular lately :)

Funny how people said 2 years ago that blogs are dead.

lol, was that Markham?

Can't remember but there before i remember before i was banned4life there was this thing here where all the "pro's" said that blogging was a thing of the past and won't make sales anymore. Today blogging in adult seems to be bigger than ever.

Sh. Now I'm going to get tagged as spam for all of those hookah auto replies :winkwink:

I know, I remember that from when I started and thought "Are you all just going back to TGPs?"..

Some of those people that said that and always talked down on what I did are now gone and I've heard broke as well...

:thumbsup

Speaking as an outsider (I just sell domains, not porn :)), it doesn't surprise me that much that blog to FHG could work better. I think at this point, for various reasons including tubes and the economy, potential porn buyers have to be juiced up to it. There's not going to be that many oblivious people who have no idea there's a wealth of free porn out there, so give a decent dose of it to whet their appetite more before they ultimately go "I want to see what else they've got". Better than "pffft, that's all they're going to let me see? Fuck that".

I could be wrong of course, but it would just seem like you really have to win over your potential customers more today than ever whereas in olden days, you could probably just promise boobies and they'd throw their wallet at the screen.

When i started 10 years ago a banner on top of your site was enough to convert 1:50.

Right. I think it's because of that and also if a blog with a bunch of images that imply a gallery when clicked, if a surfer sees the same join now or especially same tour page they might think "When was this updated" or "I don't even know what the porn looks like" and end up looking for something else to fap to before potentially getting aroused enough to pull out a card and not too aroused to finish before buying.. :2 cents:

Some people think that's still true.. :Oh crap

Like other have said, just mix it up a little. I started to add a second call to action on a few posts just to see what would happen.

I have each one on one line. First one say the usual "See more hot..blah blah blah" that goes to the tour. Then right below I have another line that says "Click here and join "paysite" now for $1" or something close to that which goes right to the join page.

I have always ran the pics and links right to the tour, never did a link to a FHG. Ratios are pretty good but I think I am going to try a mix it up like you guys suggested. Some to the pics, some to the FHG's and some to the tour.

I have been adding more flv's movies to my blogs to get lower bounce rate on them.

Most of my sites are not for bookmark surfers. They have been set and forget blogs. What do you guys think about a header design? I have used them on a couple sites and havent noticed any difference. In fact my best blogs didnt have a header.

:1orglaugh well at least you have adapted...seems like a lot of "old timers" here just complain about piracy and terrible ratios instead of trying new things/adapting to what's working now.

Yeah well, i do all kinds of things really. From paysites to blogging. Although i've been blogging for years i never did it as big as i'm doing it now. And i'm enjoying it.
I prefer to do this instead of building yet another shitty tube like everyone seems to think is the only way to go for some reason.

Just wondering, but wouldn't FLVs on a blog make a higher bounce rate since they don't click anything to view the video?

As far as headers, Ive tested this before and on mirrored blogs with or without headers don't make a difference for me.

Header or not, just be sure to put description text below either that or the title, SEs like that
