Is anyone still really blogging?
 
I don't mean building SE sites using blog scripts, I mean really blogging.

Its strange that something I enjoyed so intensely just a few years ago I simply can't find the time to do again. Or the burning desire it requires to do it well.

So, if you've got some real blogs that really get updated, let me know. I"d like to see some people still doing it and see if I can get inspired to pick it up once again.

Bill 2010-05-21 04:04 AM

some. It's not like it really produces sales to get excited about. but little does these days.

1 blog? no.

But if you were to build a network of 100 blogs they would make sales. I know this from someone else and I've built around 7-8 blogs lately and they are actually making money. My blogs are on auto from scripts but I do some real posts each week too.

HowlingWulf 2010-05-21 09:27 AM

Yes actually I just wrote a post on it on my adult webmaster blog. Sales > $1k last month and I hope rising.

Ms Naughty 2010-05-21 09:35 AM

I write regularly in my Ms Naughty blog although not daily. And I tend to get a bit too political or atheist. But I can't not do it.

RedCherry 2010-05-21 09:40 AM

I have three blogs I still hand write posts regularly to, although not daily like I used to. MadHatter though updates all his daily, but he has feeds that he "rednecks" up so he is taking (mostly) my posts and making them funny. I also have some that are on auto that I don't do anything with.

http://www.3dfantasyporn.com/3d-porn-blog/
http://www.bestavspornsites.com/blog/
are both 100% hand written

http://www.gotpornforwomen.com I also have a feed from grandma in there, but the rest is hand written.

Cleo 2010-05-21 09:54 AM

I still update a personally blog 3 or 4 times a month plus I have a handful of subdomain blogs that are RSS fed with the root domain one hand written each day starting off with a feed plus one that is totally updated by hand.

ArtWilliams 2010-05-21 10:04 AM

I have a new one here http://pornical.com/ that I start a couple weeks ago. We'll see how far it goes.

Mike-mijen 2010-05-21 10:23 AM

I have a hand written blog I use as my main Hub.

Fonz 2010-05-21 03:59 PM

I make a blog post every day but those posts are more "galleries" then actual text-rich posts. I submit them to a TGP that accept single blog posts and brings a couple of thousands surfers a day. Most of them don't get past the single post page but I keep telling myself something good will come out of it eventually :)

I've got about 15. Some older, and checking their blogrolls from back in the day, pretty much everyone I linked to back then is now redirecting to some aggregators page.

(On one blog recently I lost two years of posts by foolishly upgrading to 2.9.2 without a database backup using wordpresses auto update tool - that sucked. My own stupid fault, I got used to upgrades going well, I should have known better.)

Many started this year, and still in the stage where i am populating them with posts before trying harder to link them up and do the new blog thing which is subbing blogs to directories and lists.

Anyway, I'm probably blogging all wrong then I guess, if you just started 7-8 splogs and are making money worth writing about.

How did you link them up. Wheres your traffic from?

Anyway, I've decided to do the thing of getting to about 50-100 over the next two years, because, well, traffic options are dying off left and right and what else is there.

Vekseid 2010-05-24 02:06 AM

I have no intention of making money from my main blog. It's purpose is to serve as a genuinely useful resource for people - who will eventually link to it and allow me to shape traffic accordingly. The money invested is trivial compared to directing traffic and authority.

bDok 2010-05-24 11:52 PM

I've started on a whole new network of blogs. It's been slow getting out the gates as I've had a ton of other projects. That and getting a bunch of new software to manage a lot of aspects across the network. openx, link org, etc.

As of right now I really see this as the way forward. I should have been doing this a lot harder months ago. Only can move forward now though.

Got a nice customizable wordpress template for making blog/tube sites as well. So I can use that to create tons of blog/tube network of sites as well.

It's very slowly all coming together. Just having to maintain some other aspects that are currently bringing in a bulk of the online income. The transfer though of money made from one network that is dying is being picked up on some new networks I've been working on. That and I'm excited to see that most likely these new networks are showing real growth. The ideas are working so over the coming months it will be a battle to really grind and scale my ideas.

MediaGuy 2010-06-02 04:52 PM

I have a couple blogs that are not regularly updated, but are text rich and illustrated for each post with a "sexy" image that links to a gallery or gallery sets I make myself; so I get traffic from both search engine results and submitting.

Those who don't care to read can just jump straight to the gallery; those who find the gallery can click to the blog.

I don't automate any of it, except sometimes to write a post or two ahead of time and schedule them.

Sometimes it's better not to update daily - if you want to get decently indexed, eventual SE traffic; but you just don't get pinged as often...

:D

Is there any harm in daily-updation of your blog.

walrus 2010-06-03 12:54 PM

Interesting responses.

I find I don't us WP as a blog platform much anymore but use it more as a simple CMS building more pages than posts.

But, what I was really after was how many are building blogs that may or may not push porn but are mostly personal commentary, interesting shit you run across on the net, etc.

A friend of mine refers to them as E/N blogs (everything and nothing).

spookyx 2010-06-04 08:41 AM

I (me and my secret partner) have a network of blogs, i make real posts everyday, no scripts. it makes sales, not a lot, but enough to make it worth it.

Useless 2010-06-04 02:55 PM

I have a real life blog. It sucks. I hardly ever write posts. It sucks. Yeah, it sucks. I have a couple of porn blogs that I hardly ever update too. It's a trend with me and blogging.

zoezane 2010-06-07 10:14 PM

I do it a lot. I have several blogs but the main one is right here. http://zoezanecom.blogspot.com/

We have http://blog.scoreland.com which is hand written.

WarmKiss 2010-06-09 03:03 AM

I'm blogging the old fassioned way, as for the folks here who have 100+ blogs with auto updaters does that really generate good traffic and sales?

Only to your sanity. And one blog isn't going to be enough to live on by far.

I suggest building lots of blogs, and the ones Google likes you update more frequently.

smashits 2010-06-13 05:17 AM

Quite true.
 
Quite true.

You can' t depend on your blog for survival. You have to do something more to support you financially.

I'm starting a couple, with the intent of establishing an online presence as an author of kinky erotica. They're a mix of personal commentary and poetry/stories. I find blogging kinda relaxing, but then again I'm a writer. A lot of people who aren't find it impossibly tedious.

faxxaff 2010-06-23 12:00 AM

I do run around 5 blogs in niches where I consider myself an outstanding expert. On those blogs I just write once a month or two, but I consider my articles useful to the surfer. Traffic to the blogs is very stable and they do create solid sales and even better rebills. I put a lot of effort into research and it's fun. You could say it's very easy money for me and there is no stress.

On the other side, I have around 60 sBlogs. Traffic is ok and they do generate sales, but it's more of a struggle to keep new posts coming and I have to force myself to work on them. It's kinda hard to make coin with them and sometimes I have a hard time of motivating me to work on them.

I guess I will rather concentrate on a small amount of blogs and do them well, rather than expand the amount of sites.

mnrvov 2010-06-25 03:19 PM

I have a handful of blogs I still update when the mood strikes me. But mostly I am using wordpress as a CMS to build more or less "static" sites.

On a side note- nice to see you're still around Walrus ol' Buddy!

Good to see you around these parts. Gonna have to check and make sure I've got your e-mail address. If your around, PM it to me if you don't get an e-mail from me within the next couple of days

What tgp is that that eccepts your single post pages? Because I'm looking for places to submit gallery pages I build using nexgen gallery wordpress plugin!

I already submit them to persiankitty and get 5 to 10 thousand hits a day from there and I also post them over at foobies.com and you can pull upwards of 10000 hits a day if they post your link now I may have to submit 2 or 3 galleries before I get 1 listed but it worth the time if for no reason but the traffic you get because you can feed your trades and build your trades to get even more traffic!

So let me know about this Tgp your submitting blog post to....thanks!

thewiz 2010-07-01 02:35 PM

Well if anyone here is blogging I'm looking for blogs that would be willing to exchange submitters accounts(make user an author) with me! Now I use wordpress on my blog Fantasy Babes Blog and will set you up a user account and give you author rights which means you can post content on my site if you will do the same for me!

if interested in this idea contact me on Icq 428213733 or email me at webmaster@fantasybabes.info and lets work out the details!

adultebusiness 2010-07-30 02:15 PM

Sure, I do. I've done 35 blogs in 3 days. If you do it long enough and be patient, you will reap what you sow. The key here is patience.

camsxreview 2010-08-01 11:56 AM

I'm still writing them. Adult blogging should really be left for adult models. Anything else is an outdated tumbleweed advertisement on some blog directory that no one reads. Blogs were intended to be diaries, at least make them creative. :)

Creating 35 blogs in 3 days isn't really blogging. It's using a blog type of script to fill the interweb with a bunch more pages. No offense intended but in actuality your simply using the blogging script to simplify site building.

Nothing wrong with that, it's just not what I'd call a blog.

I disagree to some extent. I will agree that the stuff that most of the stuff thats getting generated is crap and is nowhere near a blog. Just because you use a blog script doesn't mean your creating a blog.

But I think blogging, in and of itself, grew well beyond just being a diary. I think people learned they could use blogs for various other things. Such as news, entertainment, etc. and I do believe that it is possible to create adult blogs that entertain.

adultebusiness 2010-08-02 09:07 AM

yes, I still do blogs. Porn blogs, in fact. I hope it's ok, but if anyone is interested: http://www.69mob.com/blog/

Gyongyos 2010-08-02 11:30 AM

Well I'm blogging a lot, I think I spend at least 30 minutes daily by posting on my blog(s).

I started my webmaster career by opening a blog on a free blog hosting site (blogger.com) and I started to enjoy it. I've placed CPM ads on the site and advertised it a lot so after 2 months I was able to cash out. After having 20$ in my PayPal account I have decided to buy domain and paid hosting for my blog and I have exported the articles to my new blog (witch had better design) and I started to earn more and more. I have seen that optimizing the website may help me to bring me more traffic and I started to do on and offpage optimization and my rankings really increased. After this I have decided to launch a website, now a better one because I had more than 100$ in my PP account. The second site has small success (PC Blog) and that's why I've decided to become an "adult webmaster".

I'm actually headed the opposite direction. It actually began to seem a little silly to me to be beating my head against the wall by trying to sell things that are pretty easy to find for free just using google.

I still have adult sites and I will continue to build them but I'm definitely putting more time in promoting some mainstream sites.

Flip 2010-08-21 04:33 PM

Sad to say blogging has now become a business...

I don't automate and have quite a few blogs...

I'd love to find the time to go back to the old days - with 300 to 500 words per post...

Whilst 99.9% of my blogs are handwritten - the writing is 15 to 25 one line pic captions...

It might give me a slight edge over the splogs and sploggers - but the sheer volume of bollox blogs on the net mean half decent blogs get snowed under...

So I just filter my traffic around my own network - anything else is a bonus...

As to real blogging - the closest I've come recently is updating my pet dog blog lol and maybe writing complete shit in a mainstream sales blog...

I have a couple of domains - one being a rant style - that might get my writing juices flowing - but quite honestly by the time I've written "this babes tits are hot" a hundred different ways in a morning writing is the last thing I want to do lol...

Holy fuck I've become a human splogger ha ha...

walrus 2010-08-21 09:18 PM

Nice to see you got lost in this neck of the woods Flip. BTW mate, don't sell your short little sentences short. I know you can say in 10 words what takes me 50. The length of the post isn't the important thing.

The old days of blogging do seem to have gone by... and while my writing skills seem to have deteriorated through the excessive use of terms like nice tits and petite ass, I still dream of the old times when I could string together a string of sentences that would piss half the readers off while the other half were laughing their asses off.

Ha ha ha.

I don't get these so called "porn blogs". Maintaining one blog is a lot of work. So when I hear people say they have 10 or 50 or a 'network' I secretly wonder how many people they have on staff. God bless those sploggers.
