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.

SEO is an ever changing game, what is said today will not be valid a year from now, but with google’s recent SERP changes, it seems that 1 page made-for-affiliates sites aren’t ranking too well anymore. Seems to me that google loves big sites. In other words, it may be easier to rank for “red hot widgets” on largeoldsite.com/red-hot-widgets.html than on a one page site red-hot-widgets.com.
