That's very nice growth at a good pace. If I had seen ANY growth, I'd keep going with him, but to see the site go down when I stop, and he takes over...eh. I can't keep going for another 3 months with that.

It's simply tedious and needs to be done consistently....but it's not rocket science, I don't think.

Good content with a solid SEO strategy is pretty great money. :winkwink:

But you're right, especially in adult where the content is (mostly) visual, good content makes any traffic acquisition strategy "stick".

I've never seen much evidence of that in 20 years. I've seen people say that who are really bad at SEO, have really bad content or a combination of the two, though.

I remember in March 2018 or so my Google traffic spiked and I thought it was just me. But then every webmaster here reported the same. Then this past June or so, every webmaster here (well, most of us) have experienced the same drop. I know some sites are doing well, but it seems that Google blankets adult rankings to some degree just because it's adult. Giving mainstream results for adult terms.

Are those the same people who might be lucky to make $150 per month on Chaturbate and are whining about being "down" at this very moment in the Chaturbate thread? :winkwink:

What "adult terms"? Stuff like this might happen for a day or two during a core algo update, but usually corrects itself. In any case, I've never seen this at scale or on any level that matters. Some popular pornstar's Wikipedia or Instagram being in the top 3 makes more sense than Billy's shitty porn blog running on an outdated WP install.

No not billy's blog but sites like Instagram, nordstrom, TripAdvisor, Pinterest, Washingtonpost etc
Actually there's a lot more data available about the effects of google updates on high authority sites than on Billie's shitty pornblog. And analyzing that data can help Billie's blog a lot

If you haven't seen high authority sites get dropped or boosted by a google update on a scale that matters then you haven't been looking

For those of us who promote our content on BIG adult sites we have seen the trickle-down effect from the last two Google updates.

Meaning: do a search on Google, a Pornhub video pops up as #1 (my submitted video from one of my paysites). User clicks it, goes to PH, then cllicks the banner under the video (or types in the domain) and BOOM traffic. So if those videos are not ranking because the main adult site got affected then the loss in traffic trickles down to little ol' me.

What can be done? Wait it out. It all comes back again, like a giant fucking wheel. :1orglaugh

OP: With so many weekly blogs with new content how about you STOP all SEO services for the remaining three months of the year and compare revenue? I bet'cha it goes up.
:thumbsup

SEO is just content and links.

have good content
get high quality links, also use good internal linking and link to internal pages too

don't rush things too fast.

if someone says they are an expert check the work they have done to back up their claim

I guess great minds think alike, since some of our content sure looks almost identical.

We've even made the same typo's a couple of times... Damn, what are the odds, right?

well that's one way to get good content :1orglaugh

(very popular and profitable way in this industry)

It's true. Traffic is going up right now after I asked him to stop, and I'm not doing anything other than having my people write good blogs =)

Freeking crazy.

Google doesn't like change (unless they do it).

sounds like you fixed the problem! :D
