My Blog Empire, phase III

Howling Wulf — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 20:17:54 +0000

Okay so I’ve been paying more attention to my blog stats since I broke down the numbers in the phase II post. My adult blog sales have increased from $1188 in April to $1809.78 in May, so it’s becoming a significant portion of my adult income. I’ve decided to buckle down and write more posts and add more adult blogs to my network and see if I can beat the income I get from TGP gallery submitting by the end of the year. I currently have 40 adult blogs and most are updated once every 23 days, though some do have frequent updates.

My Blog Empire, phase II

Howling Wulf — Mon, 10 May 2010 19:36:50 +0000

As I mentioned in ‘my blog empire, phase I‘ back in October of 2009, my initial foray into blogs was not too successful. I came to the decision that unique hand written posts targeting certain keywords were essential to getting good search engine placements. With RSS and morph feeds you just cannot control the keywords you want. It’s a total crap shoot. While RSS fed blogs are build and forget, I just don’t think they can compete against a well written blog that knows how to target adult search terms.

So I ended up writing 6-10 unique posts for each adult blog and setting them to auto update about once a month, because I was skeptical and didn’t want to work too hard. I also centralized my niche blog posts into one central porn blog. I didn’t make up any stories or backgrounds, I mostly just wrote what I thought about when I saw the gallery or page I was linking to, and made sure my main key phrase was in the title and used several times in the post itself. I also made sure whenever I had a noun in my niche I had an adjective(s) for it. So not just ‘milf’ but ‘busty milf’ or ‘horny blonde milf’ etc. These came out to usually 100 sometimes 200 words or so. I don’t claim to be an expert, but it’s time to report the changes I see on my adult blogs.

It’s mostly encouraging news. It took a couple months, but many of them now have top ten Google spots, and some have #1 spots. That’s quite a jump. For my top blog, Google Analytics reports ‘Search sent 278,296 total visits via 11,347 keywords’ for the previous 30 days. Unfortunately, some still don’t rank well. Still, I’m happy with the results so far, considering I rarely update the blogs and they’re now ranking better than ever. What should I do next? Build more adult blogs? Write posts more frequently? Get more incoming hard links? Better monetize the ads? Probably some combination of the four. I wondered how they fit into my monthly sales figures, and ended up breaking my sales down for April.

These numbers are new sales and does not include rebills from previous months.

TGP Galleries	$4395	62%	Still my bread and butter money source. I submit 2 or 3 TGP galleries every day, sometimes more, but I do this EVERY day unless I’m on vacation. It generally takes about two hours.
Adult Blogs	$1188	17%	Rather surprised it was this high. Makes me want to work on this aspect some more and get this percentage higher.
Unknown Source	$984	14%	Damn affiliate tracking! Who knows?
Legal Tubes	$248	3%	After initial set up these are left on auto pilot. They are not updated like blogs but I did buy TEV scripts. Overall they seem okay for the small amount of work to set them up.
Bookmarks	$146	2%	Surfers who bookmark a tour and adult affiliate programs that actually report its sale.
Linklist Freesites	$95	1%	This is misleading, since half the available links on the freesite point back to my network, so those sales from this traffic source would show in those categories instead.
Landing Pages	$90	1%	Simple pages with lists of niche sites for the surfer to choose from. I link to these sometimes from TGP galleries or linklist freesites depending on niche.

I may ramble a bit but writing this stuff down helps me sort it out. Maybe someone finds this info useful?

List of blacklisted adult programs

Howling Wulf — Sun, 25 Apr 2010 19:30:10 +0000

This is from the people over at Signbucks Daily, the first and only adult chronicle. They have lots of resources for adult affiliates, and one I saw today should get out there so everybody can see it. It is the list of blacklisted adult programs and there’s probably quite a few you’ve heard of or even use. Seems like they keep it undated regularly. Why promote programs that screw over surfers and/or adult affiliates?

My review of Pinkworld premium partner account

Howling Wulf — Thu, 22 Apr 2010 00:37:35 +0000

Pinkworld is one of the old school text TGPs, online since 15-Apr-1999.

Submit Passes states that Pinkworld is currently receiving 351,866 unique visitors and 1,748,827 page views a day, but no date is listed. Pinkworld’s Alexa rating is still very good. The bad news is it shows 50% of Pinkworld’s traffic is from India. That traffic is very dismal, even for TGP.

Pinkworld submit pass: $59 per month allows 1 submit each day. Approval time is about 3-4 days. Traffic received: 300k over the last 30 day period, but because of the India traffic, I’m going to estimate it as 150k of ‘good’ traffic.

Estimated pass value with performance on 150k hits to TGP galleries for a $35 per sale site.

Results	CTR	Ratio	Sales	Value
Poor	2%	1:1500	2	$70
Average	3%	1:1250	3.6	$126
Good	4%	1:1000	6	$210

Summary Value: Still seems good, but with so much foreign traffic, it’s a toss up.

This is worth mentioning. Big Dot Media is having a sale of it’s legal tube script TEVS.

If you’re thinking of making a legal tube site, TEVS is something I can recommend, and it’s fully customizable. If you’re a first time buyer, a TEVS license is $125 and you get two free, for an average cost of $41.67. What really shines, is if you already have a TEVS license. Further purchases are $60, and with two free, that’s an average cost of only $20. Just 1 sale on each site will give you a profit, so it’s hard to go wrong if you want a legal tube site.
