Introduction to Traffic Building: 1
Once someone has made the decision to join the adult world and has built their first site, their next question is always about where they can get their traffic from. Traffic generation has many factors affecting it, ranging from webmaster creativity to your budget and many, many more.
Don't Blindly Believe
There has been a lot of talk about belief lately, from the whole God debate starting up around the US Pledge of Allegiance, to newbies asking if a certain offer is believable. Belief is an interesting creature, coming easily to some, while others need evidence and proof to believe...
Analyzing Traffic Stats
While I was venting about short-term strangeness in my stats, it got me to thinking about how to read your stats and make sense of what is going on with your website. It is amazing the amount of data that is contained within your server logs, and with a good program, you can find out almost anything about your site traffic and your visitors.
Pay Site Traffic, Advertising, and Conversions
I'm banging my head against the wall, wondering where my traffic went. Sometimes it just makes no sense to me. I have not changed anything, I am with the same advertisers, the same search engines, the same link trades. But I am only getting half the traffic today as I was yesterday.
Natural Appreciation
There is a thread on XBiz' Content Corner Message Board concerning the 'Type of Model' that most people tend to prefer. Our friend Lopix had a few thoughts to share that echo the feelings of many other gentlemen, and provide a marketing hint that shouldn't be ignored: reality rules!
The Illusion of Power
Why is it that everyone is concerned with power? Power is something that a lot of us want, a few of us don't want, and the rest wonder about. It is not the end all be all, it is not even that important. The problem is, power is but an illusion.
Perception of the Adult Biz
I have seen a lot of talk these days about what is wrong in the world. While there are a lot of terrible people out there, from terrorists to child molesters, it seems that many times adult Webmasters and those involved in the industry get lumped in with the rest of the "bad apples."
Thoughts On Spam
A thread on the boards started me thinking about spam, the definition of spam and filtering options. While we all get tons of unwanted junk in our mailboxes every day, how much of it is spam? And for that matter, what is spam? And for those of us who are completely fed up with it, what can be done about it?
The Value of Advertising Pay Sites on TGP Sites
While there has been a lot of talk about free porn and whether or not it is hurting the industry, there may be a way to make the free sites work for those who run pay sites. When talking about free sites, I am going to concentrate on TGP sites, since they have a lot of links to what is essentially free porn.
Search Engine Optimization: Gateways & Doorways
In my previous article, I showed you how to create a network of relevant links using 'Mirror Sites,' all with similar content, which the spiders can follow and index, thus ranking your Website higher. The same idea is behind doorway and gateway pages. Different people have different definitions, but these are the ones I am used to:
Search Engine Optimization: Mirror Sites
Since I have heard a lot of talk about mirror sites on the boards, as well as questions about doorway pages and gateway pages and what is a good search engine plan, I thought it time to put some ideas down on paper. I hope this helps those out there who have never gone after the search engines before.
A Newbie's Guide to Sponsor Programs
When a surfer visits almost any adult site today, they are almost certain to get flooded by a series of entry and exit pop-up consoles leading to a variety of other sites, in the hopes that they will find something they like and continue through to the console's site and hopefully sign up.
