Whats the next step of blogging

[ladydesigner]

That's a good question Jester. I've wondered that myself as I've just started getting into blogs.

What's social networking? That may be a silly question but I honestly don't know.

Adult Directories?
Links trades - only a few a week?
Link List Submits?

I dont expect the holy grail of advice as I wouldn want to "take away" from anyone else - just a point in the right direction would be highly appreciated

Promotion

How you say? That really kind of depends on what type of blog were talking about. If you've got a splog, whether its RSS feeds or just hand written sales text go with balls deep suggestions although I'd still burn my feed at feedburner and register at Technorati.

If your actually doing something more along the lines of a blog where although adult related it's more than just sales text then there are a number of options that are basicly different.

A number of the mainstream blog directories will accept adult from this category. Feedburner and Technorati are musts but you can also use many of the true social bookmark sites like delicious to get your posts listed.

Promote the shit out of your feed. I've got one blog that gets more hits to its feed per day than to it's main page.

They are hard to find but get your feed into as many RSS directories as you possibly can.

And read this thread, I think there are some good ideas as far as blogs as hubs and free sites.

There are basicly two different kinds of social bookmark sites. The real ones like delicious and digg where you can store your personal bookmarks, things you like. Which is why almost all bloggers use a social bookmark plug-in. To simplify doing such for the surfer.

For porn, there are also social bookmark sites similar to XXX Blog Index which either read your RSS feed (which I do) or allow daily submissions of your post URL instead of you main URL. Really they are more an RSS directory but what the hell.

They are good for a little bit of traffic but mostly it should get you good backlinks into your post page rather than just your index.
