first of you need learn to count ... on the year to date screenshot you made 56k, so its about 6k monthly ... or what going on here? :) and nice realitycash rebill, i like, need to check them i think ... have luck man! :thumbsup

Mike Sinner's avatar makes me want to bend over and spread my ass cheeks. :helpme

Who cares? This info is quite interesting and that makes this one of the better threads on GFY.

Was thinking the same, maybe revenue drooped for you Mike under 3k?

My advice would be the same as I've given in all your other threads.

You make just under $3K with free hosted blogs and you are asking for advice?

Hhaahahaha.. You should be the one giving it!

Hey Mike ICQ me, I have a proposal for you. 147479144.

funny shit

7k of total traffic (including directories) or just from SEs?

Newbies should follow all the advice given to mikesinner in these threads and see if they can make more than him :1orglaugh

Mike hit me up via ICQ - 365858399 because there is no PM in GFY.

If I were you I don't think I'd try something different like a TGP etc. at this point.

What I'd recommend is that you get a couple general purpose porn domains that you might have a chance of ranking in the top 10 for... Install wordpress MU on them but don't allow others to sign up. Then you can build your blogs on that in the same format as the others you've been doing, submit them to directories etc. i.e. each blog is on it's own subdomain.

Make the main page on the core domain just a directory listing of the blogs that are on it. Title, little blurb, some ads etc... Then put a link to that main domain in the side bar of every one of your free hosted blogs... Do some backlink building to that core domain. Once you have maybe 50-100 blogs on it, start another one.

In this way you're building your own network that can't dissappear overnight and you don't change what you're doing. Very little work to get setup and rolling with it and you'll see greater benefits as time progresses.

Why would you think you have to be interesting? You do pretty much the exact same thing in mainstream but I'm finding that you actually have far better conversions and thus more sales on less traffic.

are you submitting to directorys for mainstream?

Why would you make the core domain a directory for your sub domain blogs?
Surely he would be better having a decent core domain with links coming in and not going out to the subs?
That way he doesn't lose his SE traffic to the directories when the surfers go off to his sub domain blogs.

And Mike.
One of the reasons your traffic is falling is because certain directory owners are fucking you about.

I've been lucky and only been fucked by a few sponsors.

Traffic is about 10 - 12k a day and I usually get 5-8k from SE

That's not year to date that's all time. As I said if I went and reset all the stats it would probably be 100k or more.

Outsource some of it and double your work load.

Mike, I have about 10-15 .com blogs that pull in about 1.5k traffic daily so if you were to start using your own domains, imagine how much more traffic you would pull.

how many posts you got on your blogs?

Your damn right from free hosted blogs, this would seem a good salary.

How many free hosted blogs you have in total Mike?

I suggested it simply because it's the easiest thing to do and allows him to keep doing exactly what he's doing... As his core domain goes up in PR etc, it will push to the subdomain blogs and that's where his primary SE traffic would come from, "assuming" each one is optimized around some se term and topic.

For the amount of work he does (50+ blog posts per day) that is NOT a good salary.

Mike is working hard but not smart.

Ok that's fair enough. It allows Mike to carry on doing what he's doing as you say.

I was just thinking along the lines of a main niche domain, with micro niche specific posts, riding high in the SEs for a load of different keywords pointing in from his micro niche sub domains.

Why not buy one domain and publish 50-100 articles. The only problem would be that you can only submit that domain once to adult directories.:(

Would be easier to get his mini blogs ranking well with the keywords in the subdomain and the posts on them all revolving around that keyword than single posts on the core domain.

Why when you can have 50 - 10 post mini blogs where each one revolves around some particular keyword phrase and each of those mini blogs can be listed in a directory?

You can do some think even better domain.com/keyword would be keyword.domain.com
excellent and possible.

not as effective

You have reached the point that by not having your own domains and hosting you are harming your growth. I suck at scripts too but wordpress is easy to install. Plus, most hosts now have one click install for it so you don't even have to install it yourself anyway. Somebody like certified hosting is under $20 a month with unlimited domains. All you need is to earn one extra sale a month and it has paid for itself.

It is interesting that you post this at the same time as there is another thread about Porncity closing. My first sites were on the Porncity free hosting. I dragged my feet for ages on getting my own domains (back when they were $70 for two years) and hosting. Then one morning I woke up and found something had gone wrong with their hosting and my sites were gone. They weren't my domains so I had no rights to complain.

You are working hard and doing pretty good for it but you are building your empire on sand. All you need is a strong wave and all your work is gone.

You could always try a hybrid approach as you learn. Buy a couple domains each in a niche and make them your core blogs for those niches. Put all your best posts and keyword stroking there. Then, build your freehosted blogs to push traffic to your core blogs. Get that traffic to your domains where you control all the adspace.

That is pretty good advice from Sarah.

Anytime Twan's sites go down, I think of you first, since I know how it has hurt you when they have had db issues or whatever.
Namecheap has 5.99 domains this coming tuesday, buy you a few domains and throw them on a cheap shared account and follow Sarah's advice. Or just buy 2 a week or whatever. You don't have to buy 100 at a crack.
I like to find domains at Brujah's site http://exxxpired.com. Pick out a couple decent ones and go for it. :thumbsup

Mailing.

Think you started off right, I always suggest running free hosted sites to learn from and when you know your skills work. It's time to step up and start running your own sites.

I started with free hosts and started off making about $50 per week with about 10-20 of the excact same sites you are doing.

After I could see this was working I bought some domains and got hosting. I still use that hosting account today for my start off blogs.

You are going to stuck if you don't move to the next level

Are you using free hosted thumbs/images from sponsors? What software are you using to post to your blogs?

:thumbsup: good man

I'd be careful submitting anything other than blogs hosted on the free host owned by the same owner as the submitter. One owner of some of the submitters on that list is notorious for not listing sites and not sending out refusual emails leaving you to check the listings yourself. I bet he's had loads of free one way links that way.

I've seen TLD listed, but I'd assume subdomains aren't as easily listed. I mean it's his directories with PR and traffic, so why not send it to his own hosted service?

check out www.internet.bs for domains. cheap!

A couple of people are giving the advice to use freehost splogs to link to your main (domain) site. I'm doing that myself to some extent but surely sending 50 subdomain sensualwriter.com links to your main blog would be worthless in terms of SEO, or even harmful (all the same ip address)?

Also I've looked at 4 or 5 of his blogs at random and each of them has only 2 posts from 2009, and most of the sponsors are general cam and dating unrelated to the niche of your blog. Also, I can't find any of those blogs on Google. Even your blog 'europeanlesbianteens.sensualwriter.com' for the uncompetitive search term 'European Lesbian Teens'. And all your backward links are from the same set of directories.

If you are getting 7,000 search hits for those blogs then you have the midas touch. If you are earning $3000 a month from them, then if you get your act together you are going to be a millionaire within a couple of years.

I wish I knew your secret because I'm missing something completely here. I have a webcam site that gets 2,000 relevant keyword search hits daily and I'm pleased to get more than 2 signups a day from it. How you can have such conversion ratios from free hosted blogs such as asian bjs that don't even appear to rank in Google I have no idea.

BTW, I'm not saying you're not earning what you say, but I do think it can't all be coming from that list of blogs (unless one of them has hit the jackpot and is topranked for a key search term).

Interesting read.

2 questions:

How many of these 1 page blogs in total?

"I must complete 5-6 blogs a day" - is that monday~friday or every day?

please contact me on ICQ (in sig)
I'm doing pretty similar thing and like to discuss some things with you..

thanks!

PS: if you don't use icq, my email is celebempire{at}gmail{dot}com

He creates 5 to 6 a day with 2 to 4 posts on a blog and then never posts to them again.

I'd have put analytics on them and then continued to push the ones that bubbled up to the surface.

For instance. If I did a post on big tits and for some reason it got traffic from SE's for the term, "Huge Boobs" I would have kept posting to that blog about huge boobs and possibly tried to get more keywords on it. Then link into it from my other big tits blogs...

That's what I would do, whenever you find a mundane "rinse & repeat" deal that makes money, pay someone to do more than you can.

Also get your own virtual host account, it's like $10 a month, the faster servers and no traffic shave would be worth it IMO.

If I am not wrong he has almost 3000 blogs not a handful............

this. mike has been told to get his own hosted blogs for how long now? 2 years at least not only on this forum.

And 3k/month with only freehosted blogs are great, most bloggers do not earn that even if they have own hosted blogs.

So simple - branch out and get some domains up and running

like everyone has said, it's past time to get your own domains and hosting :2 cents:

Your 2000 hits/day and 2 signups is what 70$?
His 7000 hits/day and 100$ is 3-4 signups a day.
You are doing a bit better so I don't see where are you coming from :) Maybe you thought it was 7000hit/ month? :)

Actually this thread is better than 90$ threads here, at least its one of those rare business and advice threads

Even your mistake made sense.. kinda
