I don't know if it was mentioned already because I didn't read every post, but I've had some SEO success just by using http://www.linkspun.com and putting my money sites as hidden and offering my shittier sites for trade lol but I got a pr 3 shitty site.

Amazing thread. Thanks to everybody who contributed over the years. I am managing a paysite for many years but was more involved in content creation, that I never properly did (bad or good) linkbuilding nor (black- or white-hat) SEO. So Panda and Penguin went by unnoticed - although general traffic went down. But this might have other reasons too.

I am also managing a topical social network with nearly 9000 dedicated members. That is probably the reason my site is still existing through direct traffic. But I want to change that.

I am starting to do linkbuilding and SEO and learn a lot. I would have a lot of questions but I just keep my mouth shut for the time being and rather keep on reading and learning first.

Just one comment, because it was mentioned before. Tumblr really is my biggest traffic source right now. I have one tumblr with about 1000 visits a day (4000 followers) and a brand new one with currently 400 visits (650 followers) which is growing very fast. Both are in a very narrow gay niche. Masculine, mature men into big dicks and nipples. If somebody is interested to exchange some ideas I am happy to share some more info.

subscription bump to read later

Here you go, bump for those who asked.

I'll add some of my advices as well:

1) Don't forget about collecting your visitors for future repetetive use (Twitter allows adult, Facebook can be tricked for a while, emails..)
2) You can maintain huge amount of websites if you build them to profitable state one by one and then hire someone to take care of the content
3) Secure your sites. Monitor your bandwidth, CPU use, logs etc. Especially on VPS+
4) Hosted content ranks better than embed
5) More than 50 words description even below tube video description do wonders
6) Don't buy low quality, cheap backlinks

What am I missing in this thread???? Build more sites with shitty content, link them back and forth then get more of the same over and over... And make money ???

Am I reading all of this right? Does content counts for anything ..or who cares,
??? Just build 1000 sites, each making a buck a day and you make 1000 bucks/ day :helpme

Bump
and for those who asked about monetization, do not forget to promote cams :thumbsup:thumbsup
