What most of the blog directories that require a recip link are missing

BadWolf · 2006-11-28, 01:54 AM

I agree totally. By now I know which directories are worth submitting to and which aren't, thank God.

I post mainly over at another forum where webmasters pop up every day asking for link trades and where it seems I see a new blog directory every couple of weeks looking for blog submissions.

I've pretty much stopped even reading those threads. I don't look for link trades on blog forums these days. I contact webmasters of established blogs that I like and I feel my surfers will like.

At the same time, I remember what it was like starting out. Webmasters who start new directories are going to have to show they can bring some class, common sense and traffic.

The Walrus's Porn Blog Surfer is a great example of a new(-ish) directory that brings in traffic, isn't full of crappy blogs and is well thought out.

I think this comes down to having a community of webmasters who work together, people you know you can trust.

Hmm.

This is where I should announce my new blog directory...........

Next year maybe, lol. I have too many blogs to build.

Thanks, it's nice to see one of my blog directories is thought of so well.

And honestly, I think most blog owners make the exact same mistake. They are so intent on getting recips that they don't pay enough attention to the quality of what they are linking to. Even if you run a blog, your linking tells your surfer a lot about you. You can be a resource and the links you add to your site can enhance your surfers visit or you can just link to anyone and devalue your service to your surfer.

Yeah, we need to repeat that as often as possible. I'm registering a new domain this morning and I'm going to approach this one in a much more personal manner. Any site I link to will be a personal recommendation from me, not just a link trade.

I'm doing the same thing with my newest project. I'm not going to ask for or accept formal trades with anyone... I'll just link to whatever/whomever I like and leave it at that.

That's exactly what I'm going to do.

Not much use when he keeps exceeding bandwidth!! Sorry but it is criminal of any adult webmaster to allow this to happen. Wasted clicks going out to him and no chance of anything coming back, bad Google PR if it happens to update whilst a host error message is in place and it is not the first time. Lessons were not learned, sorry Walrus you allowed this to happen again and I was considering a link exchange with you!!

First off, the exceeded bandwidth thing affects only one of my 20 domains and porn blog surfer is up and running so it is not affected. You should check on shit before you open your mouth.

Second, yes it's a stupid mistake...or series of mistakes but shit sometimes happens. Do I feel like a total idiot? Of course. Will I move my domain to a host who simply charges for overages and double my bandwidth...yes.

Will I give two shits about doing a link exchange with you....NO!

Okay, I was having a shit of a day and I shot my mouth off unfairly. I apologise to you, I had already declined a link so this is not a begging apology just one saying I was wrong and good luck with the new host. Can I suggest http://www.dreamhost.com/hosting.html they allow adult sites, give you 2TB of transfer on their basic package and they increase this by a 16gb a week that you stay with them (a loyalty thing).

Yes we all make mistakes, mine was shooting my mouth off *Sorry*

ya, everything I can find on dreamhost seems mostly positive but deals like that...there has to be something wrong. I learned a long time ago if it seems to good to be true....it probably is.

So far I have moved 5 domains over to the one hosting package. I wish I had found them long ago. They are recommended by wordpress.com and my husband told me about them when other adult webmasters put the suggestion forward at an adult forum called beer & bollocks. There are lots of adult webmasters joining these guys, tech support is also superb. Keep them bookmarked and maybe give them a try on a new project first and gradually move a few domains over to them?

Shit happens to all of us. Sure not a good way to build link partners. I am curious why your recip looks just like hoes recips?

Is this my little link box? One for reciprocating, if so then there are tons of people using this code. I had a friend (another panty seller) send it over to me as I could not get anything to work when I tried it. I have seen this style of linking all over the net so how can it be stolen... If it really is a copy of someone elses work I will gladly remove it, not that I use it for linking anymore I prefer a straight text link..

Your friend is a thief then. I'm telling you it is a copy of the recip which Hoes has been using forever. http://www.hoes.com/go/webmasters/linking-general.html

I have contacted Hoes through the forum hoping that they reply. I really have seen this style used all over the net, Netpond and Pornosubscription are two even Link-o-rama are using a version of it. Surely it is just a table with two different rows of text linking to two different parts of your site?

I assure you if it is stolen I will gladly take it down.
