The Official: What link sites list blogs?
 

Okay, I started to need a thread like this, figure I would give everyone a shot at pushing their link sites.

If your link site accepts blogs, please give examples of the rules:

1 - number of entries before listing
2 - return link requirements (do you require a special link back, or is a link in the blogroll style area acceptable?)
3 - Do you sort your blogs by subject, or do you have all blogs in a single cat by themselves?


Go for it!

Alex

Have about 20 blog catagories, by subject. Have a one link text link for blogs, nice and small fits in the sidebar, generated after submit, just copy and paste.

Never thought about a certian number of posts, would guess about 10 or more. I tend to look more at the posts themselves, how well writen, how much text.

ronnie

1. 10 - I just added that requirement after seeing this thread. More importantly there has to be some kind of actual writing and not just a fake TGP running on WP.

2. Blogroll style fine.

3. Everything goes in the same category.

I was gonna start a thread on how to review them and what to look for, I guess I can list them in my misc. section or when I expand a few more categories I will add a blog category, but the thing is IMO does any reviewers know how the review them and are there any guide lines for reviewing them?

Anyone key in with some guide lines to follow?

1 - 10 I guess.. just whatever as long as it looks as if has upkeep
2 - Just like Punani Free Pussy as link text
3 - I don't have a cat for em yet but happy to have them in misc or if you are a board member I know and it has some pics (more than 5) then in the cat that suits the niche.

submit all adult sites and blogs to http://www.hotdada.com and http://www.newpornlist.com currently pr3

Wazimm, this isn't just a chance to put up standard spam. Can you please explain your rules for blog listings? How do you list them? In a section by themselves? In each section? What are your rules for blogs?

Alex

I'd love to see Kit post in this thread, out of the 10 blogs I submitted to PenisBot only 1 got listed, so it would be nice to know what the requirements are

BTW, great thread, I'm always looking for LL's that accept blogs, gonna add every one posted in this thread to my submit list :)

Nice thread Raw Alex, I happened to be searching the threads here a couple of days ago looking for LLs that take blogs.

For the record, I am taking blogs, the (seem to be pretty much what has been stated already by others) rules are here :)

Yup good thread Alex, Im interested to see who all accepts Blogs and the requirements so I can submit mine :)

Hi Alex, I'm glad you started this thread.

IMHO

Seems like the def of "blog" has not been defined very well. That would seem to be the best starting point. So far this thread contains more talk about spam logs than true blogs.

The fact is this: Active surfers will not deviate from the basic structure of "blogs". Believe it or not, surfers do alot of things beside shop for porn. If a link list promotes "blogs" it better damned well be a blog. Not a "billboard" for advertising. It needs to be interactive and current within the surfers eyes and opinions.

Porn slingers will not change the world of blogging. Adult blog WMs will adhere to standard blogging conventions, or fail. As it now stands, adult "blogs" will grow at the expense of other adult venues. i.e. A sale made on your blog is one less sale made on your flat mundane sling site. Net gain for WMs? - zero.

As a surfer, if I clicked on a so called "blog" link, and was spammed with nothing but 'buy me, buy me, buy me', I would shit-can the "blog" and I would shit-can the link list that supplied the initial link.

SHORT STORY:
If you list blogs(cat) then they should be true blogs. If you list spam-logs then they should be listed as spam-logs. Don't attempt to redefine the term "blog". As strong as you may think adult marketing is, it is not stronger than the current blogging trend. In this case, your personal 'link list rules' don't really matter. Either jump on this fast train or jump away. Link list owners are not in the position to dictate to 150 million surfers per day.

Would I want to post my adult blog on a link list that counted photos like Natalie mentioned? NO fucking way! Blog owner rules prevail here, not link list owner rules. If you qualify you may list my blog. Depending on the traffic you send (raw) I may, or may not, grant a recip link.

As I said earlier, this is said In My Humble Opinion.

later .............

Have you been taking classes in business relations? If you have I would ask for my money back. :(

Excuse me! I said if you wanted to put it in any other category than misc because I don't have a blog cat.

This is because my linklist promises pics or movies in those categories. And on our linklists our rules prevail, not yours.
PS I change what I said, its now "if you are a board member I know and you arent a fucking wanker".

We love blogs and think eventually everybody will have one.

General Blog category at Triple XXX Info.
Even if your blog is just some pasted sales pages but is decent in design with a little style; we have been accepting them.

Hit sig to submit your blog:

Submit your blog to TripleXXX. If you have a "real blog" with content and/or style and regular updates there's a bonus link we'll give you from our hub site too.

Recips can be plain text link.

Blog owner rules prevail as long as no one is linking into your blog. Once you start submitting your blog to LLs, the lister's rules prevail.

What surfers want is another story, and the bottom line is it depends on where they're coming from, like Natalie said. Now I happen to also hate splogs, but whether to list them or not is for a LL owner to decide.

Anyway, the point of this thread is for LL owners to share their rules/suggestions with each other, generate some blog submits, and make it easier for us to submit our blogs so lets get on with business :D

It's really late and I'm too tired to start another similar thread, so I'm hijacking this one.

Bloggers: Where would you prefer to be listed? On link list category pages, or do you think it would be better to have a blog category?

Spank you. I go sleepy-time now.

A blog category (didvided into niches if possible) :)

Yea, if not, the accuall category pages seems to work fine for me

We have no exact rules regarding number of entries. I'm very affraid of splogs and I asked our chief editor to accept blogs itself only and used the google PR and age of blog as a good signs for listing.

I've seen a splogs with big entires amount, there is not a problem. Also, leeching other blogs entries and post them on the splog is not a problem too. You will see a fine written entries, but they're all stollen.

Have somebody an idea how to block the splogs?

One question I'm dying to ask: do anyone accept blogspot blogs? I anticipate a resounding no, but it doesn't hurt to ask. I have a blogspot blog ranking 1-10 on Google for a range of keywords. Moving it over to one of my hosts to build some incoming links for a blog already placing almost as high as it can go doesn't make much sense if the move kills all the SE traffic.|huh Still when I'm ranking 2nd or 3rd for a keyword, its tempting to look for that final push to get it into pole position.

I've seen some places list blogspot blogs and others that won't, seems half and half. Of course the ones that dont, dont want dead or redirected links, as with all the talk of them deleting adult type blogs, sure you know that.

ronnie

We have a general blogs category now and we'll list all legit blogs, but no blogspot blogs, as they daily get deleted or hacked. As soon as we'll have enough blogs, we'll expand the blogs section into a directory with categories and will automatically list your blogs in the niche corresponding cats. You can read our blog rules and submit your blogs here: http://www.pornlisted.com/submit.php

Thats what I should have said, as alessandro mentioned, the blogspot blogs getting hacked, hear that so often. Maybe more of a concern than deleted blogs.

ronnie

You know I actually never heard of blogspot blogs getting hacked or deleted. Any links to some examples would be great. I had my blog suspended once and went through a manual review so in terms of content I'm pretty sure where to draw the line.

Anyway, I personally don't think its unreasonable for LLs to just rule out blogspot blogs altogether.

In my mind, blogspot is a "free host", and I typically wouldn't list anything on a free host. I think that blogspot sites have about the same durability and dependability as any other free hosted page (very little). It is the same reason I am typically not interested in third level domains either (blog.somedomains.com).

I would list things if I thought they would be durable :)

Alex

We have a blog category for each the gay and the straight (separate of course) and blogs can still be added to niche specific categories as well.

Halfdeck, you might want to check out netpond, I see several posts daily about people reporting their blogspot blogs got either deleted or hacked and asking their link partners to remove their links.

RawAlex, you're perfectly right about wanting to list durable things. That's why I also don't list blogspot blogs. However, I consider thumblogger.com to be a durable service, as it is an adult blogging service and the owner is constantly adding new features, services and also helps the users when they need help :)

Thanks Alessandro. Well I did a site:netpond.com blogspot deleted on Google and only found a guy giving a positive spin on blogspot blogs - yeah I'm too lazy to dig through more than top 3 google results :D) And before I quote him I'll just chime in and say the main qualm I'd have with blogspot is its yet another free host.

Under Blogging Forum/Blogs at Blogspot.

Personally - only blogs on a subdomain I'd take is if the submitter owns the top level domain.

Halfdeck, I meant seach on netpond.com, the forum, not on google about netpond :D

Yeah, I know what you meant :D I usually run Google searches on boards, I guess WMW got me started. BTW I'm sure you know this already, but site:netpond.com returns pages off netpond.com; it's not a search about netpond :D

I just had a guy the other day who wanted to trade blog links, said his blogs were pretty new because the blogs he use to have were on blogspot and they got hacked. Think there was a post on this board about another person that had their blogspot blogs hacked by a LL owner.:(

Dont see it as a rule just against blogspot blogs, as RawAlex said, it's free hosting and usually not durable. I've listed some, but only from people I know.

I agree on thumbblogger somewhat, it's still free hosting though, they are not paying for hosting so they dont have an big incentive to keep it going.

ronnie

More importantly, if you are on a free host, you don't control all of the content of the page. If thumbblogger or some other free host decides that "all sites must have links to X" or "we are adding a header with a toolbar download" the free site owner has little or nothing they can say about it.

You don't control the domain, you don't control the hosting, therefore you don't truly control the content. In that case, I think of it as very risky to list them.

It gets back to the same old thing: Domains are cheap, wordpress is free, hosting for a blog won't kill you... and then you are entirely in control of your destiny.

Alex

I realize that your stating your opinion but you should probably account for the audience your spewing crap to prior to doing so. I spend my time here not because it has a great "blog" community, I do so because this is the most professional, no bullshit group of people I've ran across in one place. If I were one of them, I'd be completely insulted with this simple statement alone.

Again, I'd have to completely disagree. Because an adult blog can and should pull traffic from non-traditional sources, it's not a net-zero game.

Then you must be shit canning a lot of adult blogs and a lot of adult blog directories because there are few blogs that aren't mostly sales pitch.
Isn't this a contradiction seeing as earlier you stated that it was a net zero game.
Here is actually a good point...to bad you fucked it up. I agree, I'm not nearly as dependant on a link list as someone who builds free sites. But they do have something I want, that I can't ever seem to get enough of, and that's porn surfers. So as long as the rules FOR THEIR LINK LISTS aren't beyond what I consider to be resonable, I'll be more than happy to submit and provide a link back.

Don't chastise me for being fluid to internet marketing. Your statements make my very point. Blogs (per se) are a whole dif market area.

Your def of a blog is not a true blog. Blogging by definition is an area you can't compete in (on a world wide basis). You are narrowing your potential market down to the same group of porn surfers you've always dealt with. So, you'll get the same return.

I've looked at your blog(s) and it's the same old stuff. A rose is a rose by any other name. The only advance you've made is to produce some better SE fodder. I don't feel like you have a good grip on the 'blog picture'.

As for nat, here's what I have to say:

My carefully designed SE indexed adult blog will bring you more traffic than you can produce for me. So 'demanding' xx# of 'pictures' is bullshit. It's not a matter of whether or not my blog qualifies for your link list. It's a matter of whether or not your link list qualifies for my blog. I don't give a shit about being on your link list. You, on the other hand, should be glad a quality blog may want to trade links. That will push you into much higher SERP's.

I've said enough (as usual!). But I think you both need to rethink things.

Being able to download WordPress and turn it into a TGP is not a big trick. ANYBODY can do that. People looking for long-term residual income know better. By the way Walrus, we have the script to run PHP in any post or page in WP. I thought since you couldn't figure out how to run phpLD you might be interested.

I forgot to mention, that plugin is $200 per install. But for GG&J members it's much less. Only $199.00 per install.

It's nice to see you haven't stopped being an ass hat. Where did natalie say that she required a certain number of pictures? She didn't - did she? Go back and read the thread you again, you arrogant cunt. 'Posts' was the word used. Not pics, posts. Link list owners don't want to list bullshit pic-cluttered wannabe blogs. They expect text content.

Thanks for dropping by once again and displaying your ignorance for all of us to enjoy.

Wow, what a deal.

If Walrus needs help with it, I'll do it for free..:)
