Bloggers are definately interested in the commentary, if its short, sweet, easy to read.



I do think some folks read those three page enties some folks write but its far and few between.

but, like this post, well spaced easily readable entries do get read.

That would be me!

But I must admit only a few actually read my crap.

My other blogs which are much more to the point convert better.

It is possible to get a sale per day... you have to be dedicated to it. At this point I am making a decent "beer fund" money from my blogs. (2)

It's not even so much as traffic as it is the time and links you continually put out there. A click happy surfer will go through almost all of your links until he stumbles across something that makes him say "Wow... I HAVE to buy that!"

Just be careful about giving away too much "free porn"... I have seen that less is more... it really works.

Karomesis, do you already have a site in the works that you are getting traffic to?

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

Now you have the basis of this business. keep em busy doing shit until the urge to buy strikes.

Porn is an impulse buy, its been said on this board before, keep em reading until the urge hits em.



more things to view, more things to click, the longer they stay, the better your chance of that urge hitting them.

If you really know what you are doing and spending that much time you can accomplish that in only a few days.

You've made 6 posts in two years here with half of them just to introduce yourself. You can't even pull off a good sig. Sorry if we aren't impressed by you. Mind sharing your extraordinary knowledge of blog marketing with us, or are you just all talk?

[karomesis]

you have to be dedicated to it.

Agreed. That is precisely why I am devoted to this 6+ hrs a day for as long as it takes to reach my sales goals.

Karomesis, do you already have a site in the works that you are getting traffic to?

I wish. I am EXTREMELY eager to start making and submitting FS, I just can't seem to get my FTP client configured properly and feel like an imbecile. As soon as I do though; which will probably be this week, I will be making and submitting sites like it's going out of style. I have 17 months to make my sales goals and will work as hard as I have to until I acheive them.

more things to view, more things to click, the longer they stay, the better your chance of that urge hitting them.

Boogie, I have a dream of making a large site that will have a lot of things to do and see, with porn comprising about 10-20% of the site, do you think this is a feasible idea to implement? I mentioned it on another forum and they said "porn and mainstream don't mix" but I see porn and mainstream mixing all the time When someone says something can't be done that's just a reason to try harder and make it happen.

I have launched just such a site, pornogomy.com

I can also list a dozen successful sites in this genre. Uniquepeek.com, littlemidgets.com, muchosucko.com, skoopy.com, the list goes on.

all having a good time at mixing these genres, you can too.

Will it make sales? depends on what you do with all that traffic.

Well I don't appreciate your attitude and your name seems to say it all. The frequency with which I post here has no bearing on my knowledge or my business ventures or my success at them.

I made a sig too large accidently. It's been remedied since. Your board name seems to imply a lot about your online persona, but that is as far as I'll delve into childish ad hominem exhanges.

If you had shown tact in your reply to me I'd be more inclined to give advice. Despite the obvious disrespect I will still answer you in part.

In blogging, content is king. RSS is your friend. Submit your feeds to *as many places as possible*... (edited out) If you already have existing sites with decent PR you can and will be indexed (edited out) in 1-3 days with *smart linking methods*(edited). Your RSS feeds and ping list will also help you *TMI*(edited).

When you start a blog, add posts and edit the timestamps to older dates *TMI*(edited), also providing a much larger initial content base for when you are actually ready to launch. The further back the better, but it depends on how much content and initial work you wish to put in.

*Build a sitemap*(edited out entire paragraph for TMI)

Use a good balance of strong tags, links, h1/h2/h3 for what you would like to appear important to the search engines, *TMI*(edited out. My biggest suggestion for you is to NOT link directly to a sponsor or use your blog as a tgp. (Too much good info edited out) Include thumbs if you like or pictures here and there, but the driving force behind blogs is text. Make your keywords count. *TMI* (edited)

Keep tightly defined categories if your blog is niche specific and avoid extraneous or irrelevant posts. *TMI*(rest of paragraph edited out)

Your permalink structure is up to you but I would advise against using dates as part of it as it dilutes the relevance of the rest of the URL.

Interlink, cross reference, use good anchor text for links, and build build build. You can add updates to show up in the future and I suggest you use that feature to display *a few*(edited) new posts a day. If you want to do more, fine... If you want to do less, fine. *TMI*(edited a lot out)

Exchange links with (edited out) different types of sites within the same niche (edited out). Don't have too many outgoing links. The more inbound links without requiring a recip the better. *TMI*(edited)

That's all I'll share for now. I would have probably shared more if you had a different attitude. I took out half of the info after writing it and removed any references to anything specific.

Unless you have a one of those names that transcends space and time and the cyber boundaries of the boards you do waste your time on, then community activity is all anyone has to base your knowledge on, especially when you post basically empty replies such as, "If you really know what you are doing and spending that much time you can accomplish that in only a few days."

Redundant statement, thusly ignored.

And this is where you go on to inform us all about your secret blogging knowledge, which is all shit active board members would have already learned in this forum.

Are you still talking to me? If so, why? If you had a better attitude, you wouldn't have originally posted that empty statement which, after reading your newest post, is still bullshit. I'm sure you're hiding a secret tutorial somewhere behind lock and key that instructs the user how to make at least one sale per day - every day- within just a few days of launch, but I fear we lowly GG&Jim members will never get see it.

Sometimes I have a habit of stating the obvious. Whether you care of my opinion of you or not does not change your overt and uncalled for rudeness.

I'm not quite sure about space and time, but my name definitely goes beyond the realm of cyberspace in several fields. Your making ignorant assumptions are based on nothing. The original question asked was a simple one:

how long for blog to make 1 sale a day?

to which I provided a simple and truthful answer. The meat of the post was just an elaboration on the title of the thread. The simple question of "how long" only required a simple answer which was provided. I will not presume to know that you are or are not aware of how to achieve results in the time frame I mentioned. No where in his initial post did he ask for methods, help, hints, tips, or information. Therefore I did not include any of said information in my initial reply. If you have some stick up your ass, its not my problem. If you normally act like this to other posters without provocation...

Redundant statement, thusly ignored.

A bit of redundancy with some logic tossed in.

And this is where you go on to inform us all about your secret blogging knowledge, which is all shit active board members would have already learned in this forum.

I haven't shared anything that is of an ultra secret nature. I came here to participate in a forum where I have a pretty broad knowledge base on this exact subject back to at least 99 before blogs were called blogs. Even if what I have to say is a mix of existing knowledge and common sense, what is it to you? Perhaps some of the other posters never had an idea or thought of doing something in a certain way. By your own admission you have no real knowledge of blogs or blogging

how long for blog to make 1 sale a day?

. One would think you would be eager to learn about a subject you seem to know very little about and have a very limited vision of.

What is a blog, if not nearly 100% commentary?

You are obviously not seeing the bigger picture nor does it really seem like you care about the very topic you are posting in if you are so quick to dismiss it and fail to utilize the technology to its proper potential.

Are you still talking to me? If so, why? If you had a better attitude, you wouldn't have originally posted that empty statement which, after reading your newest post, is still bullshit.

Here goes a cliche, but pot, meet kettle

Redundant statement, thusly ignored.

. My attitude coming here was to help, learn, and contribute. It seems all you attempt in this thread is to belittle or berate. Your attitude is what made me censor my post. If people want good, sound advice, pointers, tips, or hookups in the right direction they are free to ask me to elaborate on anything. Why are you so willing to dissuade someone who can potentially help a newb, novice, or even slightly advanced member of the board from learning something new or being helped to connect the dots. Sometimes the obvious is obscure and vice versa. I've always been a philanthropic soul willing to help where I can and there have always been assholes trying to tear that down for whatever reason. Is that the role you play on this board normally, or is this just an occasional thing?

I'm sure you're hiding a secret tutorial somewhere behind lock and key that instructs the user how to make at least one sale per day - every day- within just a few days of launch, but I fear we lowly GG&Jim members will never get see it.

No one is lowly here in my opinion with the exception of you. Attacking someone who has done nothing but contribute an honest answer to a simple question that needed no greater response than the one I provided. I even provided more info after your baseless attack. Even in the full version of that text of my mini tutorial of course I left things out. My intention is to help and point people in the right direction or provide them with new ideas or angles. I have no idea what your problem is nor do I know why you chose me as a target, but if you are consistantly like this, fuck off. If you are having a bad day, made a bad judgement, jumped to conclusions, whatever... I'd be glad to do business with you and help you in whatever way I possibly can.

For anyone else interested in chatting with me feel free to hit me up as my contact info is available on the board.

And here we are, still waiting for your golden egg. Don't get me wrong dude. I've had to do some back-peddling in my day too, and I'm sure it's much easier to keep battling with a half-wit like me than to simply come out and admit that you mis-spoke, that you don't really know how to create daily sales on a newly launched blog within just a few days. I have all the love and respect for you in the world, uno, because I know it's much easier to attack the guy who yells BULLSHIT than it is to prove him wrong.

Ego is a many splendered thing. Of course, I'm sure someone who names himself 'uno' isn't all ego, like a guy who names himself 'Useless'.

Much love,

Uno, if you had half the brain you seem to have, you should be able to realize your first post "If you really know what you are doing" translates to "You don't know jack...because if you did you'd be making a sale a day easy on your blog in 2 days."

Go get some sun.

Exactly my point I tried to explain in the last post. The wording I used could have been better and it was not my intention to insult anyone. Your translation is not at all what I intended to imply. I never said it was easy. I said if you spend that much time on it(6 hours minimum a day) and really prepare with some pre-gaming, strategy, and a good plan it's definitely doable. It might not be on your first attempt or even your fifth, but don't give up and keep trying. Prior knowledge, work and practice go a long way towards acheiving any goal. Help from someone who has already gone through the learning process can also be a great help.

If you all disagree with the plausability of my general premise, i'm sorry, but we'll have to agree to disagree.

I'm sure you can imagine my hesitation on providing helpful information after the reaction I received from not only you, but others as well. I have nothing to prove to you to you or anyone else here, but instead gave you guys a taste of a route you can take to achieve good results. Success will obviously vary from person to person.

It was not my attention to attack you personally. I don't know you. I don't claim to. I hold no malice towards you, but am a bit displeased with your attitude towards me for what I feel was nothing.

The results are possible, and i'm pretty shocked no one has agreed with that point alone. Those who took my initial post the wrong way, i'm not trying to imply they are somehow less intelligent or blinding stumbling their way through the world of blogging. If you do not know how to achieve such results, and you keep at it, do your research and have good original content it becomes more and more feasible. Just because you do not know how to do something, does not mean its not possible. I was willing to help anyone who asked.

Whoever took my initial post in a wrong way, it wasn't meant as an insult or to belittle anyone. I can see how my linguistics could be minterpereted in that manner in my original, simple reply to a simple question.

Based on the reactions received I have, however, lost interest in sharing tips and tricks to the detriment of any regular posters or lurkers who will miss actual discussion on the topic at hand.

Attitudes like this may also just lurkers whom may have had additional great wisdom, tips, corrections, clarifications or questions to share that might now be disuaded based on the reception received by newcomers or other lurkers. I feel that is a great loss for this forum.

That is entirely where the rub lies is that you responded to the question and neither the post or the karomesis, the original poster.

I will grant you that someone with a vast knowledge of blogs and blogging, who already has a large adult infrastructure developed can reach a goal of a sale a day in a relatively short period of tme.

On the other hand, I doubt that even you could pull off the same feat if you were not to tap into that infrastructure and you already have the basic knowledge (perhaps even advanced) of all the things that are needed such as traffic generation, sales techniques, and on and on and on. In fact, given that you could not tap into an existing network but could only use your coveted hidden techniques that you keep finding reasons not to share, I seriously doubt you could do it in 90 days.

Now given that karomesis is a newbie (which if you read the thread you would have known), I feel pretty damn safe in saying that even if you did post your secret information, it would be much longer than the 90 days I think it would take you, a experienced and knowledgable webmaster.

Now I'll issue a dare, either put up or shut the fuck up and if you do post and the information is more than I briefly described earlier, I will personally apoligize for my comments both publicly as well as personally.

I know he's a newbie and that is where my second post would have came in. My original post I tried to infer that it takes hard work, infrastructure, practice, trial and error. It was misinterpreted and I realize I was too vague and how people can take it the wrong way. The timeframe I gave based on what I meant to say but didn't expand enough by a few words in my initial post is possible once you pass that newbie stage, think outside the box, and have systems in place.

As to your dare, I feel no need to take it, but anyone is capable of messaging me and I will try to point them in the right direction or provide tips. I just feel disrespected by this community and have lost incentive to share directly in it.

I apologize to anyone I may have offended unintentionally and once again offer the olive branch to anyone who would like help or advice to contact me in one of the many ways listed on this site. The offer is open to anyone at any time.

Uno, I can hardly wait for this expert analysis, unedited. I sure hope it provides me with some yet unfound secrets to blogging and not just another verbose commentary that boils down to think about SEO on your blogs, submit your RSS feeds everywhere, work the blog directories, aggregators and topsites, and work link exchanges with bloggers in similar niche's. Oh and lets not forget that if you have an established domain, especially if it's niched right, build your blogs on it cause the spiders have already found your domain.

Even though my sarcasm meter is going off the chart I'll still humor you with a serious response.

You could have pretty much gleaned all that from my highly edited post and sound like you know what you are talking about. I'll definitely be checking out your resource sites in your sig.

Blogs are way more than just SEO and the things you mentioned. They can be cogs in a much larger money making machine if used to their full potential. I don't claim to know it all. I claim to know what I know and was trying to share both personal experience and a collection of knowledge time tested to work with people who may need assistance.

I never said I'd share all the answers or even know all of them, but getting a sale a day in only a few days time is not only possible, but done all the time by more people than just me. Blogs are just a tool like any other used towards an end. Their potential in the current climate of the internet grows more and more each day, even as the latecomers play out the older methods, new applications and innovations happen all the time. Things like blogs, wiki, rss, aggregators are all just tools. What you do with them and how you set them up is what is important.

If you'd like to have a serious conversation and toss around ideas, I'd be more than glad to talk to you or anyone else. Shit, if any of you are in Phoenix I'd love to have a chat in person over a drink to discuss ideas, uses, implementation and innovation.
