One thing that has kept me very busy lately, is search engine optimization. Not long ago I hired some one to teach me what I did’nt know about getting search engine traffic. I’ve done all right in the past, even got some good ranks last year, but it was short lived, Sure was some things I needed to learn. I did learn quite a bit out of the seo guru, some things that were just plain common sense, kinda like DUH! Only problem is, with over 400 catagories and many, many pages on my sites, it’s a ton of work to seo everything, very time consuming!

What amazes me is how many people just dont get it. I see so many posts of webmasters, mostly new ones, complaining their site is not showing up in the search engines. They build their new site, submit it to the SE’s and think they are done, wondering why it did’nt work. There is no short cut, it’ takes time to do it right, least ranks that will last. It is possible to spam the search engines and make some money, course if you know how to do it, but it’s always short lived. I would rather do it right and make money for a long time. I’d rather have my site ranked well for the long run and make even more money. Maybe I’m odd.

One of the biggest reasons I have not had time to post more is the simple fact that I have too much to do. As usually I’ve taken on too much with no way in hell, enough time to get it all done. Main problem being, I do most of the work myself, the lone wolf. My wife does help, but shee can do only so much, as her time is limited.

I have been talking with a friend that lives close by, she will be working at least part doing some of the grunt work, sure will help. If you want to be big in this game, it sure is tough to do it all by yourself, there are only so many hours in the day. Hiring people can be a pain in the ass though. I’ve tried bringing on some help in the past and its’ always ended in disaster. The first one was quite some years back, a friend of my wife’s and mine. She was a 20 year old blonde, actually pretty hot, well thats another story in itself, maybe I’ll tell more of that some other time. Anyways, she had it made, she came over to the house to work. Our office was in the bedroom, we had a tv and gave her some easy work to do, nothing difficult. She did great for a few weeks, then she was showing up late and wanting a day off, or leaving early. I dont remember exactly what happened, but shortly after that she was no more.

Last hired hand was last year. Another friend of ours, a single mom in another state. All she had to do was keep two blogs updated, minimum posting every two days. I thought it was going to be a perfect match as she was an aspiring writer, working on a book herself. She could write I knew that and we had even hot chatted a couple time, so I knew she could write porn and must bigger words than I could. As usual, this one was done quicker than the last. After checking the blogs for a week or two, I found they were not getting updated, one was off by a week or more. Long story short, I paid her for a week and called it off.

It just amazes me, so many people complain about not having enough money, but they dont want to work! It’s not just people I’ve tried to hire, but I see it every where. Am I the only one that knows you have to work to make money? So many friends over the years, I hear constantly complaining about not having enough cash, yet they dont want to work, I just dont get it.

It’s a pain enough trying to hire people for this line of work. It’s not like you can put an ad in the paper. I realize there are many out sourcing places that will do this kind of work, and many being over seas, they work pretty cheap. Problem is most dont know the language, very poor grammer and spelling, I’d end up spending more time correcting their work. I’m not looking for experienced writers, but hopefully some one that can write in english and it should’nt be to hard to get some one that writes better than me.

If you want to build any kind of porn empire, you’ve got to have help, there is no question about it. Some one posted on a baord not long ago, would you rather make 100% of $10,000 or 50% or $50,000? Sure makes sense when you think about it. So, the last couple months I’ve figured I need to get more “workers” on board again, hopefully it will work out better this time..:)

I started this blog a few months back, thought it might be of interest to some folks, but with all the work I have piled up, I’ve found it hard to get back and post on any kind of regular basis. One of the message boards I read, some people posted their own adult webmaster blogs, so I thought, maybe I should give it more of a go. I will do my best to post and get this thing back on track.
