Revshare means you get a per cent of the billing price. Most are 50/50 split, so if a site sells for $30 you get $15. Some will split the processing fees or absorb them, but generally it mean that each sale you get that split, and for each time they renew, you get the split of whatever the rebilling fee is. Some like Bel Ami charge less to the customer after the first month, so your split is less.
PPS is pay per signup, it is a one time fee, paid to you for making the sale. It varies but generally is around $35 per sale, but if they renew, you get ZERO.
Hope that helps.
What I mean is, he was adding image-only posts each day, and I was adding one full text and image post in the evenings per day. He is cutting the full posts I supply back to four per week, but as far as I know he is still adding the image posts every day.
So, the text content per week is declining, and the frequency of posting too. I think that will have to result in less traffic. The only way I can imagine his traffic being stable and constant is if he were to start writing one of those photo posts to replace the text I was adding each evening.
I can understand why he has chosen to change, he has some slightly “militant” visitors who want only celeb posts (which do not really bring in any revenue) so they jump on my posts and attack them at every opportunity, voting them down and leaving bitchy comments.
Still, I think it will harm traffic and sales. The better solution would have been to “hide” the porn posts from the militants with increased celeb posting.
I probably should have clarified that I meant full content updates, not copy/paste or shallow posts. I know it might seem obvious that I would think that, but I do that on a couple of my growing blogs daily and it is most definitely working.
Having said that, one of my clients adds several posts a day of just images, no text beyond a title. He has just cut back to four full posts a week so if our ideas about post content are right he should see a decline in traffic. I think I will have to keep an eye on that and see if he has that happen.
It depends on the content – but it also depends on the competition.
Believe it or not, there are some keywords out there that affiliates either think are saturated and so do not bother with, or they simply neglect to use them. There are also plenty of affiliates who do not consider how a search might be done. For example, a blogger might go for “uncut twinks”, thinking it might be the best option, but then there might be thousands more searches for “uncut twink boys fucking”, and that longer phrase used exactly as is will do far more for the post than the original high-competition phrase.
There are a lot of things that I believe can affect traffic, from coding and themes to word count and originality of images. But from what I have seen with a couple of new blogs, Google does not penalize for frequent updates.
In fact I have seen the opposite. I am updating one of my new blogs several times daily and seeing the traffic rising, while others with far more content and no updates are slowly declining.
A few sponsors have been doing discounts like that the last few months. Not sure how big impact it has though. I have run a few campaigns with discounts and the signup ratios are not that different or better. But I think a banner that says “50% discount” will get more clicks than a banner without it.
I do not agree with the others at all.
You really do not want to compete with yourself on search rankings. You are not maximizing your chance for traffic and the amount you can get. I have grown my adult sites by going for as many different keywords as possible. Otherwise you will never grow and be stuck with the niche traffic you have. Your only way to grow your profits is more traffic, more traffic you will only get from maximizing your search audience. Simple. The exception to that rule would be if you are on page 1 for something like “gay sex”, then sure I would go for every single position there is, but you and me will never end up on page 1 for gay sex.
So how do you know what people search for if you do not research it? In my view you have gone for the small left overs and not for any major traffic keywords. Checking what keywords to use is extremely important, otherwise you are just targeting words at random. You can use things like Google Trends or better yet Word Tracker. Here is a very good example of what i mean with your words might not be very popular:
google.com/trends/?q=nake…ate=all&sort=0
Comparing “gay porn sites” which I consider to be low traffic with “naked straight guys” shows that your chosen word is quite small in comparison. You should still target niches but you need to make sure your picking the right words. If you are willing to spend a small amount of money you can use Word Tracker, that can really help you find great words to target. It can also help to make sure you’re using the right word combinations. Google Trends can also do that:
google.com/trends/?q=nake…ate=all&sort=0
That shows your best word combination is “naked straight men” and your worst is “rough straight men”. I have not included “straight men” because you would never manage to score high for that on Google.
If you really want to improve traffic you got to dedicate some time to research. But I have a feeling majority of bloggers do the same mistake. Building blogs dedicated to certain terms or keywords that actually no one really uses then wonders why they do not get any traffic.
I do not think it is a matter of jeopardizing your rankings as long as the two blogs do not have the same content / text (and probably not wise to use the same theme or layouts either).
It is more that your not getting maximum amount of traffic. If you keep creating blog targeting much the same keywords it will greatly limit the type of audience and the amount of visitors you get. It would make much more sense to spread your keywords out a bit and gain more visitors who search for other things than “straight guy”.
By the way, have you ever checked how many people search for “straight men” or “straight guys”? It’s a very limited amount of people who use those words when searching for porn.
Just focus on your adult blog/site design, make it clean, clear and easy to read. Make sure it runs smooth and loads fast. Make sure guys can view it on all devices without having to pinch & zoom.
Focus on your content. Write from your brain and with your heart. Write for humans, not for monkeys, repeating the same words all over again. Make sure your content is arranged beautifully and people do not get lost on your website.
After you have checked and completed the above, then you can focus on SEO. The least important thing.
Charles, try to use the plugin named Scheduled Post Trigger and if it does not fix the problem, you should upload this plugin:

Have a nice day.
I would say, definitely start a niche site that you yourself are into. If you are into the kinky stuff, then this is a really big advantage. There are so many new adult affiliates that start a site in a niche that may be profitable but they you are clueless about it and most of them quit after a month or so.
To be honest with you, making money online on mainstream porn is hard nowadays. There is a tons of competition, the big companies are controlling almost all the traffic so it is super hard for a newbie with very little cash to compete with them.
It will be always easier to make money in the niche market for a newcomer in this industry, in my opinion. You need something new, original, or exclusive if you want to succeed. Just be prepared to work hard every day.
