I'm wondering what the best practice is with respect to starting from scratch, I just opened a new site and I'm finding myself using the same structural techniques. What I'm getting from G's new updates is they're nipping in the bud the redundancy of the content, in other words the spider will detect the type of embed code for a video, or the ref codes etc. and that's the red flag. I can't think that the keywords and target tags need to be removed in favor of playing nice. So what would be a good outline with respect to approaching a new project, for a free site? |

• Ruthlessness isn't just its own reward but others will reward you for it too. • Above a certain level the rules are very different, but some choose to begin playing by those different rules long before reaching that level. The choice is yours. Those are a few of the very general things I've learned from some of the bad influences in my life. I mention them because they apply to the discussion about those who have the top SERPs for desirable keywords and everyone else who feels some of those top positions should belong to them. Quote:
But putting that aside for now, in general you want to try your best to forget what you know about being a webmaster/pornographer. What I mean is that you have to build your site's front end with the expectations of a surfer as your guidelines, and then do what you can to exceed those expectations. Exceeding expectations helps create the headspace you want in the mind of the visitor to your site. Plus it can get you social shares and increase time on site, which coincidentally are some of the signals you need to influence your rankings. Forget what Big G thinks about redundancy of content. Think about how interested you, as a surfer, are in seeing the same thing on site after site. Take what Google thinks out of the equation...now how are you exceeding the surfers expectations by showing him what he's seeing everywhere else he goes? Are there tweaks you can make to supplied content? Can you present it in some different way? If you figure out some ways to make things appear different to the site visitors, you can begin to cancel out the redundancy issues with the positive signals mentioned above. On the back end, you probably want to code using HTML5/CSS3 and a responsive design. Unless it's specifically an SEO site, don't actively do anything anywhere on that site to try to manipulate search results. Follow best practices so your code validates. Consider building for "mobile first" and do your desktop version afterwards. Responsive design is leaning that way. Traffic is too. POINT: The most important thing I can tell you regarding your question of "...what would be a good outline with respect to approaching a new project?" is that you absolutely must have a very clear strategy regarding what the site is supposed to be and what it's supposed to do for you. What you build should be based on the tactics your site is designed to employ in order to advance the site's strategic plan. It's a war out there. The enemy is smart, aggressive, ruthless and well-funded. If we're to have any chance at all, we need to have at least three of the four on our side too. Otherwise we can just for a miracle.

Right, I'm of the thinking you've described, with respect to the concept and approach firmly in place even before I register the domain. I've recently opened two new sites afresh, both using the wordpress platform. One is a solo t-girl fan / content presentation / blog, and I did that as a precursor to potentially opening a pay site further down the road. This particular queen asked about working with me and getting a site for herself, so this was my way of getting the ball rolling. It's fared very well out of the gate and largely because a/ she has visibility due to her existing shoots with leading companies, b/ she is smart enough to follow my leads with respect to promotion. When we started she had 5,000 twitter followers and quickly gained an additional 1,000 because of the site, I've told her the benchmark should be 10,000 by springtime. The traffic soared as soon as she started to promote the posts in her tweets, so the upshot is I'm up over hundred bucks or so in commissions and just getting started. The downside is it's not showing up anywhere on G, now I realize it takes some time, but I would like to think after a month page 4 might show some results.
My other newest site is a Mature (Cougar / Swinger / MILF) blog in a magazine style format with promotion towards scenes, sites, and specific performers. I'm new to promoting outside of Transsexual, so I'm going to put this category in a niche specific. It's only a couple weeks old, and not getting any traffic, reasons would be, haven't set up the social media accounts associated with it yet, and of course G ain't having it, and given it's infancy, I simply haven't put it out there yet. I've always been mindful about keyword 'stuffing' and not doing it, but have always had success with alt="" tags and ranking for keyword primarily through outbound links and ping backs, etc. Now, my questions are towards set up like, a/ are custom permalinks ill advised? I'm actually using a combination of sponsor embeds and plugin short codes, and of course stock sponsor links, In most cases I always use short name links. I've also taken on more CCBill sponsors (I'm not so trusting of nats these days), so I'm not certain how G is viewing those, but guessing they dismissed that long ago. So any thoughts with respect to any of that would be welcomed, as well as some of the approach others are taking.

Changing the links now. I may add a personal top five list of girls with my own with some text describing the girls on the page. And add a blog to the site where I can describe a top show with a link to the girl's profile and room. Thanks again, Simon. |

I've been busy but I didn't forget you'd asked about a few things.

Quote:
• Custom permalinks - are you using WordPress' default "ugly" URLs which contain /?p=N where N is the post number? If so, then you can probably get a small benefit from using WP's mod_rewrite method to create "pretty permalinks" where the name of the post is included in the URL. There's some planning to do when choosing how to structure your custom URLs. There are various built-in options you choose or you customize the structure (which is what I suggest). Rather than going into why you'd choose one URL structure over another, my guess is that you'll probably want to use either just the /%postname%/ or the /%category%/%postname%/ structure. Telling you which structure to choose, or even whether something different is more appropriate, would require me knowing more about how you're planning to use categories and tags on your sites. • Keyword stuffing - I hope there are lots of people still doing this. The more who do that, the better for the rest of us. • ALT attribute of the IMG tag - Keep in mind that the text should be related to the image, and preferably a short description of the image. Ideally something that would help someone using a screen reader. Any other use will eventually hurt you. TITLE attribute of the IMG tag - This is a global attribute which can be added to any element/tag. HTML specs say you can use this for "extra" information about that element. So for an image you can use this to describe it in terms that are "semantically similar" to your prime keywords/phrases, the words in your ALT text, and the words in your post's title. • Stock Sponsor Links - All of your outbound links should point to an address on your own site (unless you have submitters or advertisers who require direct links). You can use PHP, htaccess, or various plugins to manage this, as you probably know since you mentioned using "short name" links. • Outbound Links / Pingbacks / etc - Unless you're using these in a big way to rank for keywords, good luck to any of us on being able to rank for competitive keywords. Or being able to keep a good position once those competitors decide to spend a few extra dollars to push you off the page. Every time I see one of the BIG tube groups start a new round of link buying I know I can expect to get moved back at least a page on some SERPs. I keep hoping to see some other people jump in with what they're seeing happen out there, what kind of things aren't working, maybe even some suggestions. But I guess all the lazy, selfish, greedy bastards don't like long threads. (By the way, this does not apply to anyone already in or who gets in before this thread makes it to page 3.) Quote:

Hey Simon, thanks for the input. I went 20 pages deep in G and did not find my mature site, the keywords for the title are quite popular and showed up in multitudes, but not the actual site. Perhaps G banned me, it's looking that way.
Yeah, I use the custom permalinks on all my sites, and I've always done well with images and images search. So my thinking is to continue to optimize in the way I've been doing, at least Bing treats us well. |

@Housekeeper - I figured you were already on the basic white hat path anyway, so I was mostly just putting some things out there to see if anyone wanted to talk about them.
Quote:
• Can you find the site by searching for www.domain.com or for domain.com? If you can find it that way, it's not banned. • Can you find the site by searching for site:www.domain.com or for site:domain.com? If you get a message saying "your search did not match any documents" then your site is mostly likely banned. Is this a new registration? Sometimes new domains get indexed and ranked (the Honeymoon) but then drop out for a while. Quote:

Yeah, I'm not banned, just a little paranoid I 'spose. I was able to find the site on page 2 for a specific keyword, which I'm happy about and given the infancy of the site, I'll take it. Simply a matter of just working it and getting the content out there. So many of my other sites have been ravaged after the Hummingbird, I think there' s far more credence in working the social media circuit and finding different avenues to ge incoming traffic. Working with the porn star had instant impact, it's a rough tow as a short order cook, 4 sure.

I asked this question under Search Engines. Are LLs considered link farms as per the Google definition of link schemes? When I initially saw the Google warning regarding affiliate links and their criteria to base this on as "thin" information, I wondered about LLs. Now, I am on their webmaster forum looking to see what if any penalty my site has and the first accusation out of the box is that I have a "major link farm".
Also, does anyone have a link or know the context of when Matt Cutts stated a few months back that Google will start focusing on porn sites? In my research I picked up on that bit of information from several webmaster forums and can't seem to find exactly when that statement was made. |

Here is the tweet from Cutts:
https://twitter.com/mattcutts/status/427921190162665472 Not sure if they hate link lists because they are link farms but, off the top of my head, and some of which Simon has mentioned earlier, Google depreciates link lists because: - they have unnatural one to one linking. You've got that main page anchor from that same sites going back to the link lists time again and again. - they have backlinks that have the same anchor text. - they have short descriptions on the link lists that add no real value. As Simon wrote [and I badly paraphrase], link lists, in order to restore some former glory, need to have linking that appears more natural. It would be more advantagous to ask the link requester (i.e. freesite, gallery maker) to link back to the link list from another site and use anchor text that they make up themselves. Also, link lists should encourage longer descriptons of what you'll find if you click on the link. Finally, IMHO I think that Google sees link lists as directories or simple search engines. They are competitors of Google and Google will not let you win. Freeones is a site with great value but it's been recently slammed in the rankings. Why? Not because of it's value - it's a quality site - but because Google wants that traffic and advertising revenue. Quote:

In the meantime I just want to mention that it's very important to listen* to what Matt Cutts has to say. At the same time, it's also very important not to believe what he's telling you. There's usually some good information to be gleaned from his talks and replies to questions, but the good stuff is usually more in what he chooses not to say and in the way he replies, and not so much in the words that come out of his mouth. *I mean "listen" as in video/audio of him, like this recent clip... For instance, in this clip he hands out the clue that having nofollow links to your site will not hurt your rankings. What the clue means, and what he does not say, is that Google expects you to have a certain amount of nofollow links out there pointing to your site. If you don't, you'll have an unnatural link profile and may get slammed by some part of their algorithm. Google will never do it, but it would be very cool if they'd add a "When Matt Cutts says... > What he means is..." option to their online language translator. Okay, back to work and here.

Yeah, it took me awhile to figure out that they expect you to have some nofollow links on your pages. I stalk ...I mean follow Matt Cutts everywhere especially the Webmaster videos. Hmmm that's an interesting thought and explains why there seems to be 2 camps after every new video: the he's lying camp and the he said camp. The need to read between the lines seems to be the compromise ;-)

Quick note to make sure the point is clear...

Yes, it's also important to use the nofollow attribute in certain kinds of links on your own site's pages. However, the thing I want to be clear about is that you need to have links with the nofollow attribute in them pointing to your site from other people's sites. Depending on your link profile the nofollow attribute should be in at least 2% of those links, but could go up to 5% or even 10-15% for some sites. And many of those kinds of links can be the ones with exact match anchors that otherwise can stack up too high and hurt you. Okay, moving from the general to the specific for a minute... Looking at your site, there seems to be almost 9% nofollow links, which is probably more than twice what you need. Also, the site appears to have about 1,200 backlinks, but over 900 of them are from just three domains with the other 300 spread over only 60 or so other domains. Your keyword density for "cheap phone sex" is a little high on your main page. It used to be okay to be near 5% (like you are now), but today it's better to get it down to around 3-4%. Also, the exact match domain (EMD) penalty algorithm could be working against you, as those keywords also appear a lot more times in the page's underlying code and in a lot (too many) of the incoming links to your EMD site. I haven't looked too closely at the free sites on your domain, but I did notice that some of the URLs are your domain with a directory like /phonesex/ plus a four-digit number. Too many index pages like that will seem like "doorway" pages, which is something that can also hurt you. And actually, it may be that the Big G has been viewing the index pages of all free sites as doorway pages for several years now. Then on those pages add a whole bunch of outbound links to sites which link right back to that same page and I think you can see how Uncle G won't think that's a good thing. That's all for now...gotta get some food inside me.

Oh, Simon, you didn't have to do that, but thank you so very much! Having another set of eyes look at my stuff helps a lot.
It does look like an EMD penalty is in play. Now keep in mind I always ranked #1 for my chosen search terms throughout these Penguin and Panda updates. I didn't even know what an EMD was until late last night. It's good to get some confirmation from someone in the business. It's a 14 year old site. So, I am removing every one of those free sites that look "doorway-y" and reassessing the archives which are the main reason behind that 5% keyword density. Quote:
Now I am off to dinner. Thanks again Simon. Best of luck everyone. |
