New stuff and disappointments

I spent a great deal of time yesterday researching some new domain names. I picked up 3 that show lots of promise. I basically followed my methodology of keyword research where I look at the number of searches verses the competition for the keyword straight up and keyword in the website title.

Milf Kissing

Lady Gaga Ass

Hot Guys Stripping

There not up yet, but I plan to put blogs on them and promote (obviously) milf, celeb, and totemcash.


I also want to report on some disappointing results on my latest efforts to promote ratedxpics.com. I submitted two galleries with links pointing back to the site asking surfers to vote on the girl in the gallery. The galleries got listed on persiankitty among others, so the traffic was significant. I’m not seeing hardly any increase in traffic to that site, either in direct type-ins or clicks on the embedded links.

I suppose the only real benefit I’ll get is I now have hundreds of backlinks to my site with keyword anchor text, so at least it’s not a total loss. I typically do see some nice se traffic after a while from that.


My fling sites are doing well, making about $245 so far this month – all from my blog. I decided I need some more exposure, so I submitted a gallery yesterday prominently displaying my domain name. I’m pretty proud of this gallery, I think it really looks good. Again I just used an internet marketing minisite template I found online. Take a look: Hot Fling.com I’m already seeing some hits from tommys site. Hopefully this gallery will convert since I’ve had a lot of trouble converting fling on tgps in the past.

Totemcash is getting some good traffic now from my recent gallery submits, however my installs have all but stopped. Usually I get about 1 install for every 20 hits, but right now I’ve got over 200 hits and no installs. Gonna have to figure out what I did wrong on that effort. Of course I’ll share that insight in a later post.

I’m promoting a new sponsor – TopBucks. Since they don’t provide content until you make 2 sales, I had to use content that I bought from scarlet. Here’s the gallery: Amateur Pics of Silvy

I really hope I get a couple of sales from it, since I will run out of content fast if I decide to continue promoting topbucks. I really like their sites and need to expand my niches.


I’m trying out some new things on my blogs. I setup a picrush.com banner on one of my blogs that’s not getting enough traffic. It’s basically a banner exchange program where you get impressions based on clicks you send. I’m going to expand on this across several blogs, particularly on ones that aren’t getting traffic.

Another thing I’m going to experiment with are subdomains. I setup a subdomain on my virtuagirl download blog called Morgane VirtuaGirl.

I’m going to do the same keyword research to pick the subdomain names and go crazy. Be interesting to see how they develop compared to primary keyworded domains.


Chameleon Submitter
A common question in the forums is whether it’s worth it or not. Considering the time it saves me in submitting, it’s definitely worth every penny. I was considering not renewing it this month. So I looked at all the traffic I was getting, narrowed it down to about 30 tgp sites. I figured maybe I could manually submit to those daily and not pay for chameleon. After about 30 minutes, I gave up and just renewed my chameleon account. It was taking way to long to make the galleries – creating the sample thumbnails, adding the recipts, and saving each file. Chameleon does this all this in a matter of minutes for hundreds of sites. My time (and sanity) was worth more than $1 a day I pay for chameleon.

So what about the traffic? Since chameleon submits to all the big tgps and partner accounts you may have, the traffic can be substantial. However, most people are interested in the traffic from all the smaller tgps that they normally may not submit to. For me, it’s worth the backlink with anchor text to submit to all those little tgp sites. However, all the traffic combined hardly comes close to a single good paid partner account like tommys.

Of course I have to qualify that statement with I’ve only submitted pic galleries to a few niches – teen, milf, pornstar. Hence, I’m only submitting to a small sample of sites available in chameleon. I average about 200+ sites per day, however there are over 1400 sites to submit too. This includes mgp sites, other niches, and partner accounts I haven’t submitted too yet.

Here is a gallery I submitted on Feb 10 : Lorena VirtuaGirl

Total direct hits in: 2,555

Persian Kitty: 1005

Tommys Bookmark: 546

Thehun: 0 (not listed yet?)

This leaves a net number of hits around 900 from the other tgp sites in chameleon. It’s hard to be exact since 20-30 hits are from this blog or the forums where I asked for feedback, another 20-30 hits from search engines.

If I remember correctly I submitted to niches: solo, brunette, natural tits, softcore. So I didn’t hit the biggest niches like teen and amateur.

This time I didn’t get as many hits from tommy as usual and sometimes the hits from all the other tgps are less that a single listing in tommys.

What I’m getting at is the numbers can vary greatly depending on the niches you pick, the gallery description, and the sites it gets accepted on. There are maybe 6 or 7 sites that have banned me or webair, so there’s traffic I’m not getting but maybe would have been substantial.

I did lots of other stuff yesterday that I will get into another post later. I’m running late for work and need to get out of here.

Hope all is well.

  2. Thanks for the comps on the gallery.

    I was looking at MP as well for all the pornstars they have. You should post your referral link if they have one.

    Looks like you and I were busy buying domains. Glad to see the se hits coming in for you. It’s important you build on that before it dwindles off, and it will if you don’t keep building links with the anchor text.

  4. Here is a question for you, I have 2 domain names that will push same
    content, Crissy Moran Video and
    Crissy Moran Videos, is it work creating
    a separate blog and just replicating content to them or just point one of
    the domain names at another, I think the later is easier but the two stand
    alone may be better trying to get SE traffic from both searches?

     

    Any thoughts on that?

  5. I would make one a blog and one a tgp/mgp – making sure the footprint and content is very different. If you have different hosts on different ips, I would seperate them that way too. Then submit galleries using tgp/mpg site only.

    If you’re just going to do duplicate sites, it’s better to point one at the other.

    Google sees sites with substantially the same content and will discount one or both (so I’ve read).

  6. Yea, make sense, I will se tup a TGP with jsut he rFHG on it an dsubmit form there etc…

  7. Hey Rob,

    I am going to shop aroun dfo rdifferent sponsors this weekend, I may jump on on eor two of yours with the ref code.

    I am onc eagain having second thoughts on this effort, sales Vs tiem put in is crazy, I finaly hit 10k uniques to my top sponsor and the ratio is 1:2953 my other top one based on past 2 months has not sold 1 all of Feb, 0:5012 Kinky Dollars.

    The cost of partner accounts and ROI is not holding up, I was hopin gto shell out $40 fo r partner account an dat least see 1 sale a month, its not happening.

    So I may shift an dtry a month with new sponsors, my expecations are not get rich quick, but hitting $200-$300 a month should be resonable it seems…. /sigh…. hope your doin gbetter than I – Feb has been bad.

  8. Hey, Bill. I would consider not renewing the partner accounts and just work with blogging and submitting what’s freely available in chameleon. Here is a post by terry who doesn’t use any partner accounts – http://www.greenguyandjim.com/board/showpost.php?p=476535&postcount=13

    With howling wulf subscribing to 8 accounts and terry not using any, who knows anymore? Mikesinner at mp forum uses just free blogs at thumblogger. He’s got about 3000 blogs up and making about 2k/month. He can’t be using any partner accounts since he’s using free hosts – which is generally not allowed.

    I think you still need to find the sweet spot in your efforts. For me it’s been fling and totem, for mikesinner it’s thumblogger, for howling it’s partner accounts, and for terry it seems he just submits everyday.

    Feb is not ending to strong, but still better than last month. I missed almost 2 weeks of submitting this month, so I have no one to blame but myself.
