Adult Affiliate Guide

In order to create your own porn blog, you need three things:

• Blog software
• Hosting
• Paysites to promote

Before you start blogging, decide what type of content you wish to promote. Choose a niche that you personally like – amateurs, Asians, anal, babes, BDSM, gay, lesbians, MILF, shemale, teens, solo girls, etc.

The next task is to choose a host that allows adult content. If you are a complete beginner in the web world, consider Thumblogger.com, Sensualwriter.com, BlogBugs.org, Adultblogpress.com or 3blogger.com.

They supply a ready made choice of templates for the members to use, so you don’t need to worry about web page design and layout. Just register, choose a template you like and give it a good name.

If you have some programming skills, choose WordPress software and free or low cost hosting (up to $10 per month) - Servage.net, Nobsxxxhost.com, Adult-website-hosting.com, Bounceweb.com, Chilihost.com, etc. WP templates are available on Simple WordPress Themes or Free WP themes.

If you choose the second variant, you will also need a domain register company. Consider NameCheap.com, Moniker.com, Domainsite.com, Xrdomains.com, Name.com (the average price is about $8 - $10 per domain).

Don’t forget about your niche when choosing a good and catchy name for your adult blog. It should be relevant to the content and keywords – in this case the search engines will rank your blog higher.

The next task is to get appropriate content. There are hundreds of profitable affiliate programs you can join. Take advantage of Adult Affiliate Search – this tool will help you analyze which programs are expected to perform well.

Another way to find a good affiliate program is to browse through porn paysites within your chosen niche. If you find a website that you like and want to promote on your blog then look for 'webmasters' or 'affiliates' link at the bottom of the home page. It will redirect you to the affiliate program of this site.

Of course, you can also talk to other webmasters in adult forums (Gofuckyourself.com, Netpond.com, Pornojunkies.com, Protect-x.com/forum, etc.) about their personal experience in affiliate marketing.

After you join an adult affiliate program you will be able to use their photos, banners and other promotional material on your blog. They have links that will redirect surfers to the promoted website (each link has your broker id number).

Don't forget about creative and unique text messages. Do your best to grab surfers’ attention so that they want to click on the link and visit the paysite you are promoting. A couple of paragraphs are enough because people tend to scan online texts rather than reading them from start to finish.

Congratulations, now you have your own adult blog! The next step is to advertise it, which can be a lot more difficult and time-consuming than creating the blog. You can get new visitors from the following sources:

• Search engines. The SE traffic is the key and will bring you the sales. Applying basic search engine optimization techniques to your blog can significantly increase the chances of getting good quality traffic. Pay attention to relevant links to your blog, the title of your web page, the list of keywords included in the meta-tags, the tags of the images, and how many times the keywords are mentioned in the text. Your content should be informative, relevant and exclusive (if you can’t get exclusive images, you can write exclusive text messages).

• Blog directories. Blog directories provide a categorized list of blogs from different niches. Browse through Signbucksdaily list of directories or Xodgroup list of directories to find out where you can submit your blog to.

• Links from other blogs and websites. You can either buy links or exchange them. Just go to adult webmaster forums and find people who have blogs or websites from the similar niche.

If you are going to join the ranks of adult site affiliates, be ready for a lot of work. There are thousands of porn blogs out there, with dozens more being published each day. Luckily, that work can be well rewarded!

Typically, you will make your first sale around 3 months after starting. Some bloggers earn revenue before that period of time, and some even later but this industry average is a good guideline for expectations.

Google on Monday unveiled enhancements to its Google Analytics Data Export API, bolstering an advanced segmentation capability for examining the nuances of data.

Google Analytics Data Export API, which currently is in beta release, enables development of client applications to request data from an existing Analytics profile and refine the results. Google Analytics offers insight into Web site traffic and marketing effectiveness.

Advanced segmentation enables examination into the nuances of data. "For example, the average time on site for all visits could be 60 seconds, but when you segment by country, you might learn that average time on site of visits from Poland is over two minutes," said Nick Mihailovski, on behalf of the Google Analytics API Team, in the Google Code Blog.

Google has added two new ways for using advanced segments through the API. Developers can create them on the fly by specifying an expression through an API query and use advanced segments created in the Google Analytics Web interface through the API.

Google on Monday also announced an API for Google Fusion Tables. The Fusion Tables service enables sharing and visualizing of data online. The Google Fusion Tables API enables programmatic access to content from Google Fusion Tables.

"With the new Fusion Tables API, you can update and query your dataset in Fusion Tables programmatically without ever logging in to the Fusion Tables Web site. The API means you can import data from whatever data source you may have, whether a text file or a full-powered data base," said Anno Langen, Jayant Madhavan, and Rebecca Shapley of the Google Fusion Tables Team, in a blog entry. "On the more exotic side, imagine you're collecting data via survey software on GPS-enabled cell phones, as the Open Data Kit project is doing. Open Data Kit uses Google App Engine and the Fusion Tables API to instantly map locations of survey results."
