State of Blogging

k done tinking around with the width... I found out what to edit in the css table... it was set for 100% , now it's at 95%

timing out... bummer. it seems to do that whenever I am editing it.

in the past two months my sites DB and SG have earned me approx $750.00. It's a pretty healthy beer fund I guess.

I've got a ton of mainstream blog RSS feeds hitting my machine every few minutes, but it's tough to find one adult blog even worth bookmarking. I wonder why?

Alot of webmasters seems to make no distinction between a TGP and a blog. Hey, post a few pics, wrap it with some bullshit spider food and throw a sponsor link in there and I should make a few sales right? Yeay maybe, but that's not a blog.

I also don't believe mainstream bloggers make all that much money, and that would be truely sad if they were desperately blogging to put food on the table; but I'm sure guys like Matt Cutts have other sources of revenue besides their blog

For sure this side of the net is all money and reason we dont give out a link without getting something back.

I link to other people's sites without a thought on my mainstream blog. With adult blogs, it's "oh, I can't link to this guy I'm gonna create a traffic leak" or "oh, I'll link to you even if I think your site looks like garbage because I want to rank higher in Google." If I find a paysite I dig, I'll think "hey, I want to link to this paysite, where the hell can I find their ref code?"

But this type of shit goes on in the mainstream too, which is one reason guys like John Scott is giving away 10,000 bucks to encourage bloggers to link to non A-List blogs once in a while.

As for strippedgalleries Bunky, I would ditch the dark text. Colors aren't everything, but they get in your way if you can't read what's on the page. Also, I read a few pages of your blog, and it looks to me like you're either talking about a long day at work or posting an ad. If you're going to cover multiple topics, I'd create multiple categories. Last thing -- on one page you're got interracial, masturbation, ebony, and toy content. I would narrow it down a little more.

thanks for the input Halfdeck. Actually I kinda need to keep the text dark. Some parts of the admin section of the site doesn't seem to be affected by what I do with the css table. White text is damn near impossible to read on a light gray background.

That page that you are talking about has a few galleries that fall into those categories... I think that's the only one like that, maybe not.

Soap Box is where I spout off about my life (some of it is BS), and Naked Porn News is where I post latest news on sites and who has been featured. Sometimes I combine a post with both categories. Today I didn't. http://www.strippedgalleries.net/node/165

I have been getting some excellent advice from you guys, thanks for all the help!
