There is many ways to get promoted, I will try
to review the most obvious once and what are the advantages and drawbacks
of each. Here again there is a trade off to make, If you register to a
huge list of sites asking for reciprocals you will have a dilution effect
and some sites will simply not list you because you will not be able to
send them back enough traffic, and also you may end-up having good potential
customers just circulating through your site…
Search engines with reciprocals
If you surf a bit you will notice that there
is some adult search engines like sexsites, altalavista, each of this sites
have their own rules
Search engines without reciprocals
This is the best source of traffic because you
don’t need to put any reciprocals and you get all the fresh surfers you
are not used to find free stuff…(they are the most likely to sign up for
your services).
The problem with all the major search engines
is that your listing changes over time as new sites are indexed, therefore
you can easily start with a good position for a given keyword and after
a few moths your position will slightly erode overtime so you will re-submit
your URLs but what you don’t know is that they have changed their indexing
rules so now you may end-up in an even worse situation…
The subject is quite complex and search engines
don’t really want people to know what rules they are using but you can
use the following guidelines :
For a key word search what counts is not the number
of times the keyword is present but more a percentage of keyword is found
in the page, in the page description and the meta tags
Another important factor is how many other sites
links to your site, if a lot of sites links to yours you will have a better
ranking.
If you try to cheat the system using hidden words
(words with a colour identical to the background colour in your page) they
will detect that very easily and will apply a negative wait on your ranking.
(but you can use a slightly different colour… Robots are not smart enough
to see it…)
Permanent listing with reciprocals
This once are good, but there is a hierarchy
there, some will give you huge traffic and other won’t, and given the growing
number of this listing you will have to make a careful choice.
Tommys-bookmark, Richard Realms and Persian Kitty
are really good onces
Permanent listing without reciprocals
You really need to look for this kind of places,
because they can send you free and sometimes huge traffic forever…
Top sites
This once are good, but there is a hierarchy
there, some will give you huge traffic and other won’t, and given the growing
number of this listing you will have to make a careful choice. You will
also make sure that you get listed on a relevant top site place. Ie : if
your site is fetish oriented list yourself in fetish top sites…
And also always bear in mind that the people
who runs the Top sites are very likely to put their site at the top (regardless
of the real traffic they send)...
Thumbnail Gallery posts
These places can generate HUGE traffic up to
1000 uniq a day but only for a limited time period, (about a week or less,
depending on the sites) and again there is a growing list of such sites
so you need to make a careful choice. You need also to consider that you
will put reciprocals up in your site and some will not list you so you
will have to clean up the list from time to time.
Here is a list and an idea of the traffic they
send for the first day:
Snakes word : 1000 Uniq/day
PureTXT : 1500 Uniq/day
Sublime Directory : 1000 Uniq/day
Richard Reals : 900 Uniq/day
But the other are more in the order of 100 or
less...
Pict Posts
Being not able to directly link picts in my site
I don’t know much about PictsPost, I only now that it can send huge traffic
and are very similar to Thumb Post
News group posts
They are really good places to send a few pict
with your site URLs on well targeted new group like :
alt.binaries.pictures.erotica.high-heels
But it will only last for a few days and can generate
100-500 Uniq a day, the big advantage is that it will reach every corner
of the world and some new internet users (which are good potential customers…)
When posting to newsgroup you don’t have to send
a big number of picts and try to limit yourself in the number of groups
you send to. If you send to a big number of unrelated groups you will be
considered as Spanning and you should know that Spanning is really bad
on the net so you will not get a better traffic, it can only deserve you…
