I still get requests to add the usual “free sites” to Adult Everything. I’m looking at these sites and I begin thinking like Google thinks. How does this site improve my index? What is this site providing that is unique? Frankly 99% of the submissions are the same old same old kind of site. Free sites don’t update, it’s just build and forget. The main purpose is just to send the surfer off to the sponsor. While this method used to make money, it’s not going to work anymore. TGP’s are good because they have categories (unless they’re already niche tgp’s) and they update with new galleries daily. This keeps people coming back for more. Blogs are great and Google loves them. Even link lists have their place, but only if they list quality instead of quantity. So in closing, create quality sites that update and gain loyal visitors. Your main goal should be to get people to subscribe to your rss feed or to bookmark your site.

Since Adult Everything has so many categories, I’m signed up with tons of different sponsors. I was logging into my many accounts and ended up noticing that there’s a bunch of sponsors where I’m only promoting 1 site on 1 page of mine, thus I’m not sending much traffic or sales. Inevitably this means with a $100 minimum payment, it could take years to reach that amount, if ever. So in other words, it’s lost money and lost traffic. So what I’ve been doing lately is one of 2 things. Add more links and promote other sites that the sponsor has, or just dropping them completely. On the other hand, I’m joining more ccbill / epoch programs now than ever before.

So what kind of free site is okay? Well there is still room for a free site market, but you’ve got to have more content than that. First, forget the warning page. Your main page is the most important page, both for surfers and for search engines. On this page you should have thumbs which lead to galleries you host and a short paragraph (a review perhaps). So something like 5-10 pages, 20 images per page. This means lots more work but at least nobody can say this is not a quality site that adds something to the web. The days of creating a page full of ads and getting traffic are long gone.

A big site just got bigger. We have a jokes section at http://www.adulteverything.net/adult-jokes/ and a news section at http://www.adulteverything.net/adult-news/

That means that this whole site is now several thousand pages big and the growth is still not over yet.
