HOW TO: Use Thumblogger Profitably (for Adult webmasters)
Thumblog setup: This list assumes you have picked and registered a subdomain. If not do it.
1. Open Word. I like Word because it gives me the character count. (Tools/Word Count… and underscores in red my misspellings) Decide on a Title and a Description and chose 10 Keywords and write these out. (Title should be no more than 4 words and should NEVER be changed, ever. Description should be no more than 254 characters, including spaces, I go over 254 and I start cutting text. Keywords should be separated by a comma.)
2. Login to Thumblogger, go to the edit for your new Thumblog.
3. Enable RSS and three check boxes. (Options/Options)
4. Title and description for RSS (Use the title and description you wrote for the Thumblog)
5. Reset “Number of Log entries” from 35 to 8 in all three fields.
6. Check the box: Disable comments on your blog
7. Switch the editor to “The old editor, blogger look (Activate HTML tab on load )” (Makes it easier for me to edit)
8. Go to Options/Move Boxes and move the Info, Links, and Bookmark boxes to the center.
9. Go to Looks/HTML wizards and click HTML begin.
10. Enter Title, Description, Keywords, click Change.
11. Go to Looks/ Page header and click HTML begin.
12. Under “3. Image header disabled” enter Title for Header text and Description for Quote text.
Addition:
13. Go to Blog/Categories/Manage categories and click edit beside General. Under Name type a descriptive name, Mature Tits, Teen Sex, something based on your keyword/focus of the blog. For short name use the same words except, no spaces and lower case, maturetits, teensex. Do this BEFORE you add posts. DO not change the catagory after the Thumblog is build.
14. Now go to Blog/Log items and enter some posts. I would use FHG’s and post at least 100. 30 in the past as archive, 1 for today and 69 to post daily.
At this stage of the game you actually do have a working blog that could make money, but nobody knows it exists. Now comes the marketing.
1. Go to Feedburner.com and register the blog. Make sure you like the title of the feed. I use Publicize: PingShot, FeedCount, and Chicklet Chooser.
2. Go to addthis.com and get the bookmark widget.
3. Go to Options/Boxes/ Manage boxes and click edit for the first empty or unused box.
4. Name the box Subscribe to me…
5. Paste your FeedCount and Chicklet Chooser code into the box, and your Bookmark widget from AddThis.com. Click Change.
6. Go to Options/Move Boxes and move the box Subscribe to me to the right column.
7. Go to Options/Boxes/ Manage boxes and click edit for the first empty or unused box.
8. Name the box More Good Porn!!!
9. Add links to all your sites in this box. Click Change.
10. Go to Options/Move Boxes and move the box More Good Porn to the right column.
You now have a blog that is SEO (Search Engine Optimized) with content that will notify the world of its existence through the Feedburner.com ping, and is crosslinked to your other blogs and sites. This is the very basic. Now I would suggest you:
1. Add banner ads to the side columns. DO NOT forget to add a sentence of text below each ad. TEXT sells much better than ‘picture ads’ in the columns, but you need to banner/picture ad to catch their eye.
2. Go to Free Adult Webmaster Stuff and add your URL to the “Adult Directories/Search Engines”, the “RSS Feed submission” and the “Search Engines” that do not require a reciprocal link. There are 29 at this writing. FREE Links, beat that…
Now you are own your own. You have a complete fully functional working blog and did it in 2 hours, if you had coffee and a cig.
The one thing I like to add is a trading script. Right now I am using Link Organizer. It does not dovetail with Thumblogger, so there is a little work, but I think it is worth it, especially since it has a built in Top Refers list feature. I do not add a graphic header since I want the text at the top to be visible for the spiders.
One other good addition is RSS feed from 1 or 2 (at the most) blogs that you own on the exact same niche. Thumblogger has an RSS box you can use and there are several services that offer RSS to Javascript conversion for your inclusion.
Now, as long as I am writing… Lets talk about number of sponsors… I try Very, Very hard to use the FHG’s or RSS feed from just one paysite per Thumblog. If I just have to because there are too few posts I might use 2, but it is as a last resort. This begs the question, “What if they don’t like that one site?” That is why you cross link your sites. Good example is tits (Love Tits!!! Thought you would want to know.) There are teen tits, black tits, mature tits, tit fucking, petite tits. Ideally you would have a site for each. I like mature tits. If I am browsing a tit site and it is suppose to be mature and I see a teen tit, I bail. As said time after time pick a niche and build all the Thumblogs you can for that niche. I guarantee you will be so, so, so far ahead of the crowd. When I started I wanted one blog in every niche. I built one blog in every niche and lucked upon a sale once in a great while. I suddenly developed the ability to listen to my elders. Now this is what I do. I actually make more than one sale a month. I made the mistake of trying be all things to all porn surfers and it cost me years, yes, years of struggling to get it right. You want to prove you are smarter than I was, start off by doing it right, from the beginning. Pick a niche.
