An update on my new career in the adult webmaster industry =)
my TGP (freesexlynx.com) - I have stopped buying traffic for it and am just going
on recip traffic from my submissions and bookmarkers. I removed my traffic trade
script. The idea here is I want to run this TGP as a non skim TGP. I want
bookmarkers. My traffic has dropped since turning off trades and bought traffic to
about 40-50 uniques per day. When I was trading traffic and buying traffic
however, my productivity was only about 80%. Now with only bookmarkers and
recip traffic, my productivity is at a whopping 1100-1200% I want more of these
surfers that keep clicking things, because i have discovered that they like to click
banners too. I have been maintaining with that tiny amount of traffic about 4-5
banner clicks per day to my sponsors. (some FHG galleries mixed in with the
normal thumbs, a line of "premium" thumbs at the top are all FHG galleries, and a
webcam sponsor) I think that a 10% banner click rate on my traffic seems really
good. So, Im going to start trying to do hardlink trades with other sites. Sound
like a good idea? Please let me know what you all think.
About my freesites - I now have 4 freesites up and running. 2 are listed on
persian kitty. 4 on greenguy and 3 on smutgremlins. Also a small linklist called
Yobt has listed all 4 of my sites.
When I submitted the 5th site to greenguy, I got my first rejection. The reason,
overused template. I knew this would happen sooner or later, I dont really
understand whats wrong with using the same site layout repeatedly, but its not my
call and i want him to keep listing me. So, my question is how much must i
change my site layout? I have looked at alot of other free sites to get ideas, and I
have found that every free site has the same basic layout the differences are only
minor ones... warning on top of or below recips, recip table sometimes looks
different. main page, banner might be between gallery links, might be above,
might be below. gallery pages sometimes 5x3 pics per page, sometimes 4x4 or
4x5 and banner placement is sometimes between pics, or over pics or under pics or all three.
My question: I came into this business the second time around wanting to do
everything VERY clean. so, I only use 1 banner per page. Is changing the
location of my banner on each page enough to get past the "overused template"
reason? There isnt really much i can do to change the design because im doing it
so clean. maybe if i change a location of something on each page, would that be
enough? I have been changing background colors on each site, and that in itself
is not enough.
Please let me know what you all think about my above questions about the TGP
and my tiny freesites network.
Anybody who is reading this post for information about how its going for me, I
have made no sales yet, however, the TGP is at 40-50 uniques per day and
500-600 clicks per day total with 4-5 banner clicks.
The freesites, I am getting about 25-30 banner clicks per day, exact traffic
unknown (not using counters, just keeping an eye on the bandwidth). At this rate
with the free sites, im figuring i should average a sale once every 2-3 weeks. Not
enough, I have alot more work to do =)
