Search Engine Blog Sites
Wondering what Google may be up to? Wonder where people find some of the news they write about? Check out Google’s very own Blog:

Google Blog

Well you know Google can’t be the only one to have a blog! MSN and Yahoo do as well. You can find interesting things at both of these blogs:

MSN Blog
Yahoo Blog

Who says Blogs are so 2002. It is kind of like there is no money in SEO.

Link Building- Finding Trades
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 good to find sites that are in the same niche as your own. Try contacting the owner to get a link trade going.

We will go over some advance techniques later, but this should get you started.

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’m 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 seperate Class C IP’s. IP Report is free to use, and you can find duplicate IP’s easily.

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 build list.

Host Crowding
In an earlier article on SEO Theories and Fact I went over how Google filters some websites based on host crowding. We know host crowding is a fact. It is stated in Google’s own FAQ’s about their API. You can read about the Automatic Filtering they do here:
http://www.google.com/apis/reference.html#2_3

Now, because they don’t exactly say how they filter for Host Crowding. We can only go with different theories.

SEO Theories on Host Crowding Filter
Some theories are they filter by Class C IP (this is the most popular one). Some are they do it by whois. Another is they do it by nameservers. Some even say by all of them.

Static IP
From my own experiences with Google and their host crowding filter from years ago, it seemed like they did it by IP. So if you shared an IP, all you had to do is get a new static IP for each domain. For the past year, this has not been enough.

I believe they filter somehow by class C. Now don’t panic. It doesn’t mean if you have 10 sites that they are only going to list one based on what the API Faq’s say. They are looking at the results. So if you have 10 different sites, all going after different niches or themes, then you probably have nothing to worry about. However, linking within your own 10 site network probably won’t do much for you (we will get into that more with link building).

Whois or Nameservers
Now this one is interesting. Google recently became an ICANN Accredited Registrar. TDavid mentions this at Make You Go Hmm blog on Google and MSN. This leads me to believe they may in the future add this to their filter, but I don’t believe they do this already. But it sure looks like they may want to learn more so they can. But then again, maybe they will start letting you register domains with them in the future.

Multiple Class C IP Solution
This solution by far isn’t easy to get. It takes either breaking up your domains with many hosting companies, which usually cost more money or finding one that has many servers or many class C’s. This week, I was lucky enough to find a hosting company that has multiple Class C IP’s available. Not only that, they will also have muliple nameservers available.

If you are interested in getting on the priority list, contact baddog@pimpspromo.com or hit him up on ICQ if he is on your list already. Let him know how many Class C IP’s you are looking for and anything else you may require.

As soon as they have the packages setup in the next week or so, I will post the information here for everyone.

If you haven’t read steps 1-5, then you can find them below:
Step 1 - Picking a domain name
Step 2 - Research the niche
Step 3 - Building your site template
Step 4 - Building Your Gallery
Step 5 - Building Picture Pages

Building The Free Part Of Your Adult Website
Again you want to start with the template we already made in the first step. On the first page you should have a warning (depending on your laws) that it is an adult site. If you can put some content up, a picture or thumbs. Even a sexy design. This is your choice. Remember to use Alt tags on any image you link to another part of your website.

Again you have the ads to other products, you can adjust the headers and the text links for them. Make them a little different to capture more keywords if you like.

Change the header (H1) text at the top of the page to Welcome them with the keyword in it. Add text content about your niche or theme, with keywords bold, or italic. Link within that text to area’s in your site. Example: This Niche is so hot, check out my Niche Gallery (link niche gallery to your gallery page).

Finally link into your main page or your gallery page.

Sitemap
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.

Product Map
If you sell products, like Joe Bucks, 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.

Niche Map
If you have several niches on your domain. Make a map of all your niches, link to each niche. You can even seperate 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 page (which you already did in your template and the head image of your template )

It is always good to link to internal pages within your site. If you can link to every page on every page, then do it. Thinking of it as showing even the most unfamiliar surfer (the dummy that thinks email@emailsite.com is a website), how to find things on your site. If they can find it, a bot can too.

AVS Section
Use the same concepts when building your avs section of your website. If you need a good tutorial for avs sites then check out baddog byte’s. I will most likely do an AVS in the future, but baddog has it covered.

Coming Up - Link Building and More
Soon we will go over link building. Steps to save you time and get you better links. As well as more on host crowding and avoiding Googles duplicate filter.

If you haven’t read steps 1-4, then you can find them below:
Step 1 - Picking a domain name
Step 2 - Research the niche
Step 3 - Building your site template
Step 4 - Building Your Gallery

Building Picture Pages
Now that you have a great optimized gallery that you can use for TGP’s. It is time to build the picture pages. Putting your pictures in html for AVS and Free Sites is the best way for search engines. It will give your site more pages for spiders to find and index (especially for free sites).

Template
It is time to get your template page out once again. You will want to size the larger picture to fit nicely on the page. Since the template already has Joe Buck and Adult Friend Finder ads on the side and bottom, you already have some ads on the page.

Meta Tags and Text Content
After you place the larger image on the page, you will want to change the meta tags to reflect the content that is shown in the image. Put a banner and text ad on the top of the page for the sponsor you are using (Remember we already picked the niche and a site from Xpays). Bold some of the keywords in the text you write. Not all of it, just some of the important keywords.

Linking
Now link the picture to the Xpays website you are promoting (use your affiliate link). If you are building for link reasons, then link directly to Xpays. If not, you want the traffic to hit your site first, then use the no follow code in the link. Also, add alt text for the picture using text that refers to the image and the niche.

Finally add a more link under the picture (more niche keywords). Link to the Xpays website you are promoting.

Repeat
Repeat this for every picture you have in your gallery. Make each one of these pages unique to your niche. Let it reflect what the image is about and use keywords for this niche.

Gallery Page
Open up your Gallery Template. Link to the pages instead of the images. Now you have a gallery that is perfect for Free Sites and AVS sites.

If you haven’t read steps 1-3, then you can find them below:
Step 1 - Picking a domain name
Step 2 - Research the niche
Step 3 - Building your site template

Building Your Gallery
First open the template page you already made. Save it as gallerytemplate. Now you need to add a table with cells for your thumbs. I usually do 4 columns and 5 rows. Merge the middle row (row 3) to make 1 long cell. Place your Header 2 Text in that area.

Many webmasters have their own style and preferences for thumb sizes and layout of thumbs on a page. This is fine, do it your way and maybe adjust some things to optimize the content for search engines by following the suggestions in this step.

Optimize Thumb Links
Place your thumbs in the top 8 cells and the bottom 8 cells. Link them like you usually do. For each thumb add some text in the alt image field, alt=Niche Keyword Phrase. Try to use your keywords, but also explain what the picture is about. Keep it short, 5-6 words if possible.

Optimize Header Text and Content Text
Now on your top header text use your main niche keyword phrase. In a cell under that, add some text about the content and sponsor. Link to the sponsor using good keyword phrases, not just their name. If you are using an SEO Friendly Affiliate Program, use the no follow link on your links to them or if your really good at link building, don’t.

Now in the middle cell, optimize that Header 2 with another good keyword phrase. Again add some text under that with information on the image content and sponsor. Link to the sponsor with good keywords like you did above.

Other Sponsor Ads
Other sponsor ads like Joebucks and Adult Friend Finders we will be putting in the side ad box and bottom ad box you made previously. Again you need to set the Header 3 text for these boxes to use keywords for these sponsors.

Instead of using regular banners or buttons with Joe Bucks. Try using images of the products for joe bucks with some text.

For Adult Friend Finders, try just text ads. Make them look like personal ads.

For both of these sponsors, do some research if you haven’t used them before. Just like we did in Step 1. This will help you decide the keywords you want to use in your ads and text links. I know most webmasters want to build as much as they can. Trust me, if you take the time to do a little research now, you will make more for your time later.

Optimized Meta Tags and Links
Now your gallery is starting to look really good. It is time to adjust your title, meta tags and header link. Change these to fit the content you have on the page. Use the keywords you just used in the page. The header link and home link should still be the main keyword you are targeting.

Gallery Complete and Optimized
Now your gallery is ready and optimized. Look through it, check your research and tweak anything you missed. I know many are thinking, this will never work for submitting to TGP’s. But this one was built for a basic template, it will be adjusted for free, tgp and avs later. If you want to use it for TGP’s, adjust it a little to work. Save it as tgpgallery and remove the extra ads.

We will go over changing it again for AVS later. But you can head over to baddog byte’s for tutorials on that now.

If you haven’t already read step 1 and step 2, you might want to do that first:
Step 1 - Picking a domain name
Step 2 - Research the niche

Building Your Website
If you don’t know html or how to use Dreamweaver (or similar program), well then you are in the wrong place. I’m not going to teach you that here

You will want to come up with a design for your site. Preferable something that shows some sexy content and 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 some 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 and links.

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. Link that to the index page of your site. Also, link the header image you just made to the index. Put in the alt tag…alt=keyword phrase. The top and bottom do not have to be the same phrase. Similar is fine. Maybe you are promoting the MILF site from Xpays. Use MILF in one place and Mothers I’d Like to Fuck in another.

Next layout the rest of the page, put an area for pictures and/or text. Add 1-2 area’s for other ads. Maybe one on the side and one on bottom. This will be our ads for Joebucks and Adult Friend Finders.

Header Text
Once you have the layout done, you can start laying out header text. Put the words Header Text 1 (set as H1 in the font settings) right under your header image. Next put Header Text 2 (set as H2 in the font settings) in the 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. 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.

Meta Tags
Place your meta tags in the top of the page, just under the html tag. These will be your basic tags. Here is an example:

In the classification, I usually look at dmoz and find categories that my site would match. That is what I use there. First this will help you focus on what type of site you are building, second some search engines may pick this up.

Website Template
Now save this as your index page and then as temp or template.html. This will be the page we will start with on everything else we do for the site. You will adjust things on each new page you build using the template, like keywords, title, etc. But you have the basics ready when you get that far.

We will start building more tomorrow.

So you know the domain you are going to use. If you don’t please read Step 1 - Picking A Domain Name.

Researching the niche
In Step 1, you researched some keywords to help you pick out a domain. Now you need to use some of those keywords to find out what websites are listed for them. Check Google, Yahoo and MSN for each of the keywords that you are interested in using.

Click through to these sites and see how they are laid out. What type of words do they use? How much text do they use? How many sites are linking to them? How many pages on this site are indexed?

Search Engine Commands
Some search engine commands can help you with the task of finding out how many backlinks a site has and how many pages are indexed for that site. (backlinks - how many links they have pointing to the site)

Google & MSN Commands
site:domainname.com (shows the pages indexed)
link:domainname.com (shows the sites that link to it)

Yahoo Commands
domain:domainname.com (shows the pages indexed)
linkdomain:domainname.com (shows the sites that link to it)

Evaluate the research
After you know these things, you can decide on what keywords you would like to use. Just realize that if the keyword you are targeting has 25,000 links to it, it may take some time.

I never tell anyone to pick something easier to get. It just shows you how much link building you will need to do. I go for the tough ones, but target the smaller keywords at the same time. We will get to that after we go over building the site.

Remember, if someone tells you that the keyword has too much competition, that you should try something easier, just maybe they don’t want another competitor. How will you know whether or not you can do it if you don’t try?

Research Conclusion
You should now have an idea of how much link building you will need to do. Also, you can see how much content and how many pages most competitors have. You will want to try to get this many on your website. It will give you a good internal link structure. I will go over that when we start building the website.

Domain Name
First part of search engine optimization is your domain. Google doesn’t put much weight on this, but Yahoo still does. So you want to pick a domain that has some keywords in it that matches your niche. If you have a domain, know your niche and don’t really want to build a new domain, then you should skip this article.

Sponsors
First I look at the sponsors paysites. Xpays has many different types of paysites. You will find lesbian, hardcore, movie, gay, blowjob, MILF, teen, goth, etc. Decide which niche you are interested in promoting. This is the theme of your site.

Other sponsors like Joebucks and Adult Friend Finders are add ons. You can build very targeted sites and pages for these sponsors, but they are wonderful for any type of site you have.

Sex Pictures Pass AVS has many categories, I think 43. But go ask baddog, he may know right off the top of his head. So any niche you pick, Sex Pictures Pass should have a matching category for it. If not, baddog will get it made up if he thinks it is needed.

Keywords
To help find some good keywords you can use for your niche and new domain, you might try wordtracker if you have an account. Or you can head over to NicheBot.com (which seems to be down at the moment) and see what you can find. If neither of those work, try Digital Point’s Keyword Tool which is free.

Domain
After you pick your niche and research a little for keywords. Find a domain! Remember not to use any more then 2 hyphens (fuck-me-now). Hyphens are good with Yahoo, okay with Google.

The last thing to think about is the look of the domain name. When you have your site ranked in the top 3 listings on Google, it is nice if the domain name makes the surfer interested. You can get the #3 spot and get more clicks then #1 and #2 if you do your job now.

Domain Examples
Say Google has these sites listed in the 1-3 positions:
hot-blondes-sex.com #1
myfavoriteblondes.com #2
blondesofficialsite.com #3

Which one would you click? I know each person will have their own pick, but most will click that BlondesOfficialSite.com or Blondes-Official-Site.com. There is just something a little more special about the name, something, I don’t know “Official".

New Adult SEO Blog Design
Today I have a new look for the blog. The goal was to match the main site a little more. Before it looked so plain green and white. I think this look is much better.

SEO Website Tutorials
Over the next few weeks I plan on writing step-by-step website tutorials that will cover search engine optimization for adult websites. The plan is to start with building a free site, which includes at least one gallery and will also include an avs.

Next we will focus on building for a niche (you can pick your own or do one on what I pick), then we will be adding other products that could be of interest to adult surfers. Next we will start creating a website that is optimized. Finally we will do some link building.

Lastly we will analyze our positions and our conversions. This way we can improve our sites and plan for link building more.

Throughout this time, I will also be testing SEO Friendly and Non SEO Friendly Affiliate Programs. Hopefully you are interested in doing the same.

Adult Sponsors I will be using are the following:
Joe Bucks
Sex Pictures Pass AVS
Xpays
Adult Friend Finders

I may come up with others along the way. If anyone is interested in trying others, let me know I will try to add them in.
