Damn! Where did the summer go? Sorry I haven’t been around much. Clients come first.
Also I run several blogs. I will be doing some consilidating soon. When that is done I will make an announcement here. I will still be blogging here, but I will be doing all my daily blogs in just one blog.
Did that make sense? I think I need some sleep. If you ever have any questions just stop by the forum Adult Internet Marketing Forum.
Link Building Tip #4 Exchanges for Links
Find websites you wish to have your link on and ask them for a link exchange. Seems simple, but maybe it is a high traffic website and you are having no luck with getting them to exchange. Try something different, offer them something of value for that link. Maybe you can right an article or a review for them? Give them text content that is useful to them. Other things you can offer, graphics, hosting, templates, or coding. What are you excellent at? Offer them something that you can do, it can work out to be the perfect exchange for both you and them.
Link Building Tip #3 Use Your Competitors Backlinks
Find out what sites are linking to your competitors and try to get links from those places as well. Aaron Wall of SEO Book has came up with an excellent tool to help you find out all the information you want! It is also handy for finding out about your own backlinks!
The tool also allows you to download some of the information in CSV format! The button will appear at the top of the results page next to my logo. The backlink tool gives you information like how many class c’s are linked to that domain, how many com’s, edu’s, org’s, ect. as well as IP and much more.
I have added the backlink tool to this website, feel free to use my mirror of the tool.

I missed doing link building tips the last 2 days. Lightning strike killed 5 dell desktops, wireless modem and 2 phone lines (so no backup dial up either.)
Will be posting soon!
Link Building Tip #2 Use Multiple Anchor Text
When building links or requesting others to link to you, it is better to use multiple anchor text. Anchor text is the text you give the person to use to link to you with. This is my anchor text.
For those sites that ask others to link to you, like link lists or TGP’s. It is a good idea to give them multiple anchor text to choose from. But I wouldn’t stop there, it isn’t a bad idea to swap those out once a month or more, depending how many links per day you are getting.
Link Building Tips
Okay since I got a little more into link building in the last couple articles, I thought I would go on to doing some Link Building Tips. Just link building tips. I think I could do a tip a day for 2 months easily. So here is the first one.
Link Building Tip 1
Finding High PR websites to do link exchanges or submissions to. Does anyone know the best place to find these types of websites? Do you think you need some software to dig out these truely hard to find jems?
Well put away your cash, unless you want to send it to me (I take paypal, visa, mastercard, american express and soon to add checks)…okay here it is…the best place to find High PR websites to trade links with:
Google Directory is a wonderful place to find those high PR websites to trade links with, really it is amazing, they even categorize the links for you. You can find themes that work well with your website. And do you believe that the webmaster that built that website picked the theme they are categorized in? So when you go to their site it should be a pretty relevant link trade.
They even have an Adult section:
http://www.google.com/Top/Adult?tc=1/
How perfect is that? Now only 59 more days of tips to go

Basic SEO Linking Building
Find sites to submit your website to or trade links with. There are many ways to find link trades or websites to submit to. Some are webmaster boards, friends, search engines and directories.
Search Engines are a great place to find sites you can request a trade with or submit to. Try searching for the keyword your site is themed for, like add url+keyword, or submit link+keyword, etc.
Directories are an excellent source to find sites that are in the same niche as your own. Try contacting the owner to get a link trade going.
Create a List
Whenever you do any research for link building, create a list of the sites you find. You have spent valuable time finding these sites; this is time you can save later.
You can create this list in Excel, html or Word. Whatever program you feel comfortable using. I do prefer Excel because I can add notes easily and add new tabs for different niches or unique sites I find.
Filter Your Link Building List
Okay; now I know you are thinking, what the hell is she talking about? Filter my list? Filter it for what? Well filter it for IP’s is the first step. Use IP Report to find out if your list has separate Class C IP’s. IP Report is free to use, and you can find duplicate IP’s easily. There are other ways I’m sure but this site is the one I use.
Organize Your Link Building List
Once you have gone through your list, you can move some trades or links with the same class C IP to the bottom of your list. Why to the bottom? Well this time you probably won’t submit to them, but for another site later on you might use them.
Prioritize your list, submit to all the places that are on different class C IP’s first. Submit to any that you know you will get traffic from as well.
Save Your Link Building List
This list is a time saving tool for you in the future, so save it! Good luck with building your own valuable link building list.
Tips:
Check out the site that you are asking for links from. Make sure they aren’t using any type of script on their links. Directories or top lists that track clicks are usually not worth the time if you are looking for links for SEO purposes. Also, sites that are scripts that spiders can’t index won’t be great for link building purposes. A link with many variables like: http://site.com/script.cgi?variable=this&varaible=that&page=thisone&site=thatone probably isn’t getting indexed so a link on that page to your site probably isn’t going to help you much.
Anchor text for links you are building (you know the external links, the ones that you are getting to link to your site).
Mix the anchor text up! I don’t know how many times a person has asked me why they are sandboxed or how come they have 1,000’s of links to their site but are still on page 10 on Google. My first question to them is usually, “what text are you using in the links to you?” They usually say their keyword phrase. I tell them to vary that, they tell me, “No I heard to use that.” I tell them to vary that. They tell me they don’t think that is it. Then 3-4 weeks later they are still not sure what the problem is. I tell them the same thing I said before. They finally give that a try, and their rankings start to rise. Example, if you are going for Adult Toys, instead of building all your links with the term “adult toys” try varying that with Adult Toy Store, Adult Toy Stores, Sex Toys, Adult Sex Toys, Sex Toy Store, AdultToys, SexToys, etc. (another hint, easy rankings are usually misspelled words and phrases with no spaces!) I usually do 50-60% for my main keyword and vary the other 40-50%.

SEO the Internal Link Structure
We have already gone over some basic internal linking in the content optimization. One thing to remember is to always link back to the main page of your website. Decide whether that page is your entry page or the page they go to if they click enter. Always link back to the page you pick.
Site Map
Create a sitemap and keep it updated. Link to every section and page you put on your domain. If you just build galleries everyday and don’t mess with AVS sites or free sites, making a sitemap and linking to your own galleries, plus listing them again after the warning page, should keep your galleries indexed. Also a blog could be a wonderful way to present your own galleries daily and keep them indexed.
Tips:
Don’t use keywords in your links for the page your building, use keywords for what the link is going to! If your main page theme is general porn, but the thumb or link is about blowjobs, use blowjob keywords.
Try other maps of your website!
Product Map
If you sell products, then make a product map for your site as well. Link to any pages you build that are just for the products. Also, link to the buy pages. So you have a link directly to your page, but then have a “buy product now” link as well. Buy pages can be either your own store buy page if you own the store or, to the sponsors buy page. If someone is looking for a jackrabbit vibrator and lands on your product map, why not try to send them directly to the page they can buy from. (Hint: try using keywords that would match someone wanting to buy! Example: buy jackrabbit vibrator (as your anchor text). Someone searching for “buy jack rabbit vibrator” is ready to buy now! Someone searching for jack rabbit vibrator may just want to see what it looks like. Sometimes terms less searched for are not only easier to rank for, but convert much better!
Niche Map
If you have several niches on your domain. Make a map of all your niches, link to each niche. You can even have separate niche maps if you have too many. Link to every map you build on all your pages. Link back to the main index from all pages. If your site is small and you can link to every page on every page, then do it. Thinking of it as showing the most unfamiliar surfer how to get around your site. You know, the one that thinks email@emailsite.com is a website or a link is the blue words that they can click. If they can find it, then a bot can too (assuming you are not using a script that bots can’t index).

First you will want to come up with a design for your site. Preferably something that shows some sexy content but has room for text content. A good way for beginners to start is to make a simple header image for the top of the page. The name of the site and maybe a picture of a sexy girl (or guy, depending on the niche). Place this on the page and use the rest of the page for text, links, some ads and maybe some thumbs.
Now that was pretty simple. Before you go any further, put a link on the bottom of the page. This link should be Keyword Phrase Home or just Keyword Phrase (this is called “anchor text”). Link that to the index page (or main page) of your site. Also, link the header image you just made to the index (or main page). Put in the alt tag…alt=keyword phrase. The top and bottom link text should not be the same phrase. Similar is fine. Examples: GFY, Go Fuck Yourself, GoFuckYourself, GoFuckYourSelf.com, Go Fuck Yourself Adult Webmaster Forum, Go Fuck Yourself Board, Go Fuck Yourself Porn Webmaster Board…Mix your keywords in your internal link structure with alt tags on images and anchor text. (Remember to do this when link building as well). The internal links I usually use 2-3 different phrases throughout my sites.
Header Text
Once you have the layout done, you can start laying out header text. Put keyword descriptions as Header Text 1 (set as H1 in the font settings) maybe right under your header image. Next put Header Text 2 (set as H2 in the font settings) in a text or picture area. Finally put Header Text 3 (set as H3 in the font settings) in the ad box on the side and ad box on the bottom of the page or other areas in your layout. Now if you don’t like the big text (which I don’t) you can pick a font and a smaller font size for these. CSS is nice for this as well .
Meta Tags
Place your Meta tags in the top of the page, just under the html tag. These will be your basic tags Title, Description and keywords. Some SE’s do not use the description tag all the time, but they do at times. Keyword Meta tags can be important with some engines, but not as much in the Major SE’s. But why deny any SE traffic you can get by excluding them? Many times just putting them in can help you focus your content to what keywords you are targeting. I usually do 4-8 keywords.
Yahoo does love Title Tags, and does support, I believe, up to 120 characters in the Title tag. Many times if you are on page 2 with Yahoo, just adjusting the Title tag can push you up to page 1.
Page Content
Many already optimize the image content on their pages, this is a good. Load time can affect your rankings just like many other factors. By page content, I’m talking primarily about text. Include text descriptions of what your site is about. Make sure you use your keywords in the text.
Tips:
Include text in your page content! Many times I see wonderful websites that are very appealing, have wonderful internal link structures, but lack text content. Try writing a little more about what you are selling. By selling I don’t mean selling sponsor’s sites, let them do that. Sell your site. If your website is about porn, but different niches or categories, then sell each area of your site by simply explaining what a surfer will find when they click from your main page to your sub page. If you use many thumbs on your page, try using only 3-6 and add text with the thumb explaining to surfers what they will see if they click the thumb. Put anchor text in the descriptions. (Anchor text remember is the keyword text with a link to where they are going to go if they click).

I’m Back
Well if you haven’t noticed, it has been awhile, I have been sick. More like a Semi Truck ran over me several times…diagnosed with Rheumatoid Arthritis. I’m getting better, new drugs…not fun ones (uhm if there are fun ones..) but hey they do work. Methotrexate…I get to take it once a week, makes me sick the next day but I can still function that day and the rest of the week. Actually more like a cocktail of that with steriods and folic acid….
I have been playing catch up on many things in the last month and working on our new SEO Hosting with multiple class C’s. And now it is time to start blogging again.
Tutorials Coming
I know many have asked for more tutorials, I hope to add more coming in June. Anyone know where I left off or want one on something specific, let me know

Yahoo! Search Support for X-Robots-Tag Directive to Simplify Webmaster Today we're announcing support for tags that give webmasters even more flexibility over which pages and documents are crawled and indexed by Yahoo! Search. Specifically, we're extending our support of page level exclusion tags -- NOINDEX, NOARCHIVE, NOSNIPPET, NOFOLLOW -- to provide additional control for archiving and summarization of ANY file type. Previously, these page level tags could only be expressed within html pages through the META directive (for e.g. Note: We'll still need to crawl the page to see and apply the tag, so if you don't wish to have the page crawled, use robots disallow on robots.txt.), but based on feedback from our webmasters, Yahoo! now enables these tags to be expressed through X-Robots-Tag directive in the http header, giving webmasters the flexibility to achieve exclusions on PDF, Word documents, PowerPoint, video, and other file types, including html files, and increasing their coverage through a simplified process. Additionally, webmasters no longer need access to html templates in order to express exclusions for html files. To take advantage of this feature, simply add the following page level tags to the X-Robots-Tag directive in the HTTP Header. Here are a few examples:
Along with this change, we'll be rolling out additional changes to our crawling, indexing and ranking algorithms over the next few days. We expect the update will be completed early next week, but you may see some changes in ranking as well as some shuffling of the pages in the index during this process.
We're at SES in Chicago and WebmasterWorld's PubCon in Las Vegas, participating in a few different panels this week. Please find us if you have any questions or suggestions or drop us your feedback here.

Yahoo! Search Crawler, Slurp, is moving Anyone who has seen their web server logs, has seen the Yahoo! crawler come by and leave its mark. It identifies itself as 'Yahoo! Slurp' and its domain is inktomisearch.com. For those of you who follow the search space, you can easily guess that this is one of the last historic remnants from our acquisition of Inktomi a few years ago. Well, the crawler finally decided to move and find a new home. We are moving our crawler from inktomisearch.com to crawl.yahoo.net. The user-agent will continue to be Yahoo! Slurp, hence you do not need to make any changes to your robots.txt file. Nor are we changing the actual IP addresses of the crawler infrastructure during this transition. However, if you do any reverse DNS checks for the crawler identity or have any network access rules to allow inktomisearch.com, please also update them to allow for crawl.yahoo.net. The crawlers will be switched over in phases starting immediately. You'll see an increasing number of Yahoo! Slurp visits from crawl.yahoo.net and fewer and fewer from inktomisearch.com during the transition, which will take a few weeks. Keep an eye on this space and the Yahoo! Search Blog for more details on when the migration is complete and details on bot verification with the new domain name. Priyank Garg

Come one! Come all! Step right up and buy a ticket to The Most Tumultuous Show on Earth! GEOPOLITICS! It's a three ring circus and you're invited! Greetings from the overtired folks at JibJab Media. We've been working day and...
Congratulations Hastings, Nebraska -- Winner of our "Be a Better Plane What do the birthplace of Kool-Aid and green living have in common? More than you think. Back in April, we announced Yahoo!'s "Be a Better ____" challenge to encourage people to use Yahoo! tools to become better fanatics, advertisers, entrepreneurs, best friends, gardeners... however they want to become "better." Part of this program included Yahoo!'s "Be a Better Planet" Greenest City in America Challenge to see how communities across the country can take action against climate change and use Yahoo! tools to become better planetarians. Today, the winner of the "Be a Better Planet" Greenest City in America Challenge was revealed and we want to give a shout out to the nation's green leader. The competition started with more than 350 cities across the country, and the winner is the home of Kool-Aid itself -- Hastings, Nebraska! In addition to their grand prize of $250,000 for city greening projects, Hastings and the top five finalist cities will receive a slew of other green prizes. Hastings secured the top spot by rallying together a good portion of its residents to earn participation credits on Yahoo! Green through pledging to reduce carbon diets, Yahoo! Answers through answering green questions and Yahoo! oneSearch through conducting eco-friendly mobile searches. And now the city's mayor is tapping into the Answers community to solicit thoughts and advice for how to invest the $250,000 prize. If you have some great green ideas, don't hesitate to share. Here's a bit more information on Hastings' contribution to the challenge and what they did to stand out. Congrats, Hastings.

From "To Do"to "Done"in OneSearch That sums up Yahoo! Search in a nutshell; the whole point is we want to get you from "to do" to "done." Whatever it is you want to do: research a topic, find a website, plan a vacation, research a medical condition, view a funny video, or any of the other billions of queries we get from users -- their intents expressed via a few keywords in a search box. Tim Mayer
One thing we've learned since launching our own algorithmic search engine back in 2004 is that at the end of the day, people really don't want to search; they want to get things done. Today, we're launching an all new Yahoo! Search experience that gets users the answers they're looking for quickly and easily, and often in one search.
So what's new? Well the feature we believe that improves the search experience most is Yahoo! Search Assist. Most of you have already seen the real-time query suggestions we launched on Yahoo.com in July. Yahoo! Search Assist kicks it up a notch, bringing those suggestions to the search results page, along with related concepts that give users a point-and-click query refinement capability that enables them to explore a subject area they may be unfamiliar with.
Search 'united nations,' for example, and the new Search Assist knows that the following concepts are related to your query: general assembly, 1945, league of nations, secretary general, etc. Want to refine your query to explore 'united nations' + 'general assembly'? Just click on the 'general assembly' suggestion. You now get a new set of results and new concepts related to 'united nations general assembly.' Exploring further is now simply a matter of clicking on new concepts.
One thing you'll find when you use our new search experience is that Search Assist "automagically" drops down from the search box on the results page when it senses that you're having difficulty formulating a query. But it only shows up when you need it or ask for it. It then offers real-time suggestions and concepts to explore, just like on Yahoo.com. We did this to avoid a common complaint about assistance technologies offered by other search engines -- the "persistent assistance" that puts suggestions on the page regardless of whether a user wants or needs them.
We've been testing Search Assist over the past few months and have seen significant improvements in user satisfaction from those tests. One metric we found was a 61% increase in successful task completion when users had Search Assist as part of their search experience.
In addition to Search Assist, you may have also noticed our new header and footer. While our users think it looks better (we do too), it's also focused on helping users get things done. We moved the search box to the left to align with the results so that we make it easier for you to scan the results and find what you're looking for.
We've also spent some time focused on how we could improve our algorithmic results to deliver a better multi-media search experience. When your search results include links to videos from YouTube, Metacafe or Yahoo! Video, in addition to the link you get an inline video player so you can watch those videos immediately. A couple of my favorites include: Ready-Set-Bumbo and Otters holding hands. And a small power-user tip: using site restriction, you can get a video results page on your favorite topic. Here's an example: 'otters site:youtube.com.'
Our multi-media improvements include inline Flickr photos too. When a Flickr photo or tag shows up in your results, you get to see those great photos in addition to getting a link. You can see it in action here: 'sunflowers photos.'
And we know most of you have enjoyed the recent enhanced shortcuts that give you answers on the results page in categories like music artists, movies, travel destinations, etc.
Give the new Yahoo! Search a spin and let us know what you think.

The Santa SmackDown in Search: You Better Watch Out, You Better Not Cr The holiday season is chock full of characters, stories and traditions - all of which see their fair share of search activity. In fact, we hear there's a bit of competition among Santa's cast and crew for the top billing in search. To relieve a bit of pressure (December is a stressful time of year for these guys), Santa Claus returned to the frozen stage this month to oversee some one-on-one action in the Search Smackdown. He got out his list and set up some Yuletide matches in the Buzz Arena...and man, will the reindeer fur fly. Based on this season's search data, we've got the Search odds right here, and a few highlights from their past matches.
