Now that we've had a good solid month to work on our blogs and we should all be seeing anywhere between a couple hundred hits a day to a couple thousand lets talk about what you're writing, how you're writing, and what you can improve.
Recently I have tried to be more content oriented rather than chatty. I've gotten straight to the point of what I want to discuss.
I have had great success introducing models to folks by name, specifically with single girl sites.
Raven riley, ashley brookes, etc.
In addition I have had great effect when 'talking about a site' as a whole. Doing a quick 5 paragraph writeup on a site, that includes sample galleries and a link to the tour have had some amazing clickthrough rates.
Conversions on those havent been as nice as I'd liked but on most cases I blame the site.
here is a great example of one of those sites:

My Polls have also been great for interactivity. I can only expect about 1:100 people to vote so that's kind of frustrating. It seems to vary wildly depending on the poll topic and the traffic source for the day.
Sometimes there will be 30 votes in a day and then sometimes nothing for 2-3 days.
I've found leaving the poll up for about a week will get me over 100 votes and then I 'call it'
The clickthrough rates from places like Technorati for the Poll topics and results are fairly strong as well.
Posting just raw galleries, as I do for Met-art for example, has had mixed reactions.
I've had surfers ask for more, I'm sure posting met-art regularly is getting me bookmarkers, and I've had a fair number of signups this way.
Not to mention putting both the name of the model + the layout name + "met art" in the post has managed to draw some engine hits
Now what hasnt worked?
I dont think my linking to non adult things is very popular. I have little way of tracking hits but I think that only a small number of people are there to view the flash/movie links on monday and friday.
The ones that ARE there for that are very, very vocal however. Its hard to turn those people into sales tho.
So i'm thinking of slimming it down to being more all about porn.
Anyone else wanna talk about how they choose their content and what they're writing?
