Personally, I feel you over use your keywords a bit. By the time I got to the second paragraph, it seemed like I was reading something I had already read. The whole thing felt spammy.

I put a lot of stock in the readability of a post. Words and pictures combining to create a mental fantasy for the reader. Truth is I've let myself get so out of practice with this that I probably only am able to do it satisfactorily on rare occasions and usually I don't take enough time to force myself to do it properly

I've always wondered why you felt Colorado was such a valid keyword. You must be really targeting all the perverts there as you used that specific keyword 9 times.

Talk about readability problems, I've been all over the place so far.

Anyway, here is how I would improve on your post.


Since I write a bit more in the text area I'll leave a link to one of my posts so that you can feel free to rip it apart. Just take note now that I do realize I overuse the word fuck / fucking way to much.

My Post

Walrus,

Thanks for the feedback

I just woke up and re-reading my first post, I'll agree that Colorado was/is a bit spammy. I do get a lot of local traffic on that particular splog and not every post makes mention of Colorado.

Phrases like Colorado girls, Colorado porn, sexy Colorado girls, etc. send me a lot of traffic. I just checked my stats and I got three sales form that splog so far this month with 2 of the three being to Colorado residents.

I'll make another stab at it after a cup of coffee and something to eat.

I had started a much nicer post earlier, but I was dragged out of the house to go school supply shopping.

papa-
At first, I was going to get on you about using too much bold text, but looking at your actual blog, it appears that you don't employ your bold button at all. Though it should be used sparingly, I personally like to bold a couple of keyword phrases per post. I do so for two reasons: it draws the reader's eye to subject of the post and it's basic SEO; telling the search engines that those words are important to that page. For example, if the following sentence was buried somewhere within a blog post, and I was emphasizing the phrases nasty teen and bald pussy, it would read as such:

When I came upon this nasty teen, Jayda, naked in the woods, I saw her rubbing her beautiful bald pussy while sitting on a boulder.

Though it is often important to repeat targeted keywords, I wouldn't want to push it to the point of redundancy in the manner which you did in the sample post. The words 'nasty' and 'cunt' are repeated so often that all meaning and storyline are lost. The use of synonyms will not only soften that unhealthy repetition, but it will also gain you traffic for other, similar, terms. As Walrus stated, readability is important.

It depends. We know that keyword density is important to Google and that they can identify a spammy page by the over-use of words/phrases. Who can say at what point does Google deem a page as spam? Not I. But I tend to believe that a more naturally written block of text will win in the long term over a spammy block of text.

My belief is that most blog traffic is the result of decent SEO bringing in normal porn surfers who are searching for pics and vids and have zero intention of reading. There are, however, those who will read a blog and return to read more because it is written well and based on their particular kink.

That's really a gorgeous template and I love the footer image. You use a lot of big boob images that'll pull in the surfer, even if he could care less about the words on your page. You know, I used to think that blogs shouldn't have too many images and should be 99% text, but I think a solid mixture of images and text is what makes a blog most appealing to both blog readers and pic hunters.
