Buidling Adult Blog Sites

[mark6188]

Blogs seem to be pretty solid when it comes to seo traffic. I have several blogs that I setup in October that generated my first $200 in this business.

Based on that experience, I'd like to expand on this while outsourcing the hardest part for me - writing blog posts.

Here is my basic strategy:

• Setup niche specific blogs
• Possibly Outsource with Jester-X 30 keyword loaded 200 word posts with a picture
• Autopost those at a rate of 1 every 1 or 2 days.
• Link all the blogs in a wheel (blog a ->blog b ->blog c ->blog a or b) each blog on a different host.
• Then do the normal blog directory submits.

I have 3 domains I can setup the blogs on, so this equate to 10 posts to each blog (30 posts, 30 pics total) and maybe 2 or 3 days to set them up and submit to directories. This will cost about $120 to outsource, the balance I have to spend this month.

I feel like I can add this project in addition to my chameleon ll/tgp project this week without putting a gun to my head.

I'm trying to decide on doing this or spending the money on a partner account to add to my LL/TGP project.

I would greatly appreciate any feedback on this plan before I execute it.

Thanks.

I'm building blogs as well, but I'm following the build and forget model.

IE, register a keyword rich domain, install wordpress, post 11 posts immediately (I outsource the blog post text, 100-120 words, I've used Jester-X in the past as well, he does a great job!), then configure a post rotator plugin to rotate the oldest post to the newest one every 18-20 days.

Then I move on to the next blog.

I've got 51 blogs now... doing just under 800 unique clicks to my sponsors daily, and it's growing.



Do the math. 1 blog that receives 100 unique visitors, and has a 25% CTR = 25 unique clicks to the sponsor per day.

40 blogs = 1000 unique clicks to the sponsor

a 1:1000 ratio means you should be getting 1 sale per day from 40 "aged" blogs (blogs that are 6 months old).


With my blogs, most are getting a 35-50% CTR, and traffic varies from blog to blog, some are getting 150 uniques per day, others just 30. But my blogs are all less than 3 months old.

I made the mistake of doing 1 blog for 1 sponsor, and another blog for another sponsor. Now I build 6-10 blogs pushing a single sponsor, then move onto the next batch of blogs.

I think even if you chose micro-niches you wouldn`t have that awesome ratio IMHO.Also if you send the traffic to galleries expect a crappy ratio with more than 5000 IMHO.

I would say go for it.
All you can lose is $120 and some time to set everything up.
Original posts ordered from Jester combined with few good hardlinks and properly set WP can bring you very good organic traffic.
There is a thread how to bring some traffic into your WP blog.

Hope that helps.

edit: btw, I think all people here read your posts how you starting everything from zero. I certainly enjoy reading your adventure and thanks for your openness. Don't stop.

@ed
That sounds like a good plan, except I don't have the budget for setting up that many blogs just yet. I'll have to lookup the auto rotating plugin, I like that idea.

I'm surprised at the 100 word posts being enough to get se attention. I suppose 11 posts makes 1100 words, but that still seems a bit lean.

I'll start with just three domains promoting totem. Maybe create 3 more blogs in a subdirectory pushing totem as well. I'm just a little intimidated by the writing. Suppose I'll have to do it until I have a budget for outsourcing.

Thanks for the feedback.

@FB

I'm not surprised by the conversions ed's suggesting. I have one blog right now that gets amazing conversions since I started it last month.



So it's possible. Being able to do that consistently is the trick. I haven't been able to duplicate that success.

Right now I'm submitting to link lists and tgps with 0 conversions. Of course, I'm not getting the kind of traffic required and I'm not so sure my galleries are all that good either.

1:5000 would mean I'd need closer to 250,000 visits to make one sale - assuming a 2% clickthru to sponsors. I hope I can fair better than that.

Appreciate your feedback.

@pclit

Thanks for the link, and especially thanks for the encouragement.

It's almost 10pm here and I haven't even started working on my sites yet. Long day at the office. Time to brew some coffee and get to it.

I'm averaging between 1:600 and 1:1200 depending on sponsor.

And I link directly to the tour/join page. I never link to the galleries.

Mark, thats an impressive conversion rate with FLING, that's one company I couldn't ever get sign-ups for.

[bionicweenie]

That totem looks good but I can't seem to get their sign up form to work or something.

ed_banger, thanks for the tip on the tour/join pages.

@Jester
Yeah, I'm pretty amazed myself. It accounted for $105 last month, and I'm up to $105 this month already. I'm estimating the site is getting 60%+ clicks to the sponsor.

The only reason I can account for the huge ratios is I'm getting about 60% direct "type-in" traffic, and the rest on keywords.

How lucky am I that I picked a winning domain name?
