I, Adultwebmaster!

I have been hard at work the whole day converting my adultwebmaster blog at www.iadultwebmaster.com to the wordpress platform.

While I am doing the upgrade I finally get around to using my first “RSS reader“.

Now, like those who have never used one, I have been hearing about these damn “rss readers” for months and just never got around to figuring out exactly what they are or how they work.

This is how PornHero felt about RSS feeds and RSS readers…

… until this morning… I dont feel like that anymore!

Here’s my conclusion about RSS feeds and RSS readers:
Using RSS feeds and readers is so simple and makes you a more knowledgeable adultwebmaster which means more $$$ in your pocket!

Are you not using a RSS reader yet? It’s time you did…

How I am going to make more money with other people’s adultwebmaster blogs:

Here are the 4 simple steps:

STEP 1. Choose a RSS reader
- a ‘rss reader’ is like an internet browser made especially for blogs and ‘rss feeds’
- lets you see the headlines for the recent entries on blogs you are interested in.
- there are tons of RSS readers, some of them are web-based
I just discovered www.rocketinfo.com (it’s free)
- once you use a rss feeder for the first time you realize just how effective a tool it can be.

STEP 2. Add adultwebmaster blogs to my rss reader.
The majority of quality blogs allow you to add their “rss feed” to your rss reader.
- an rss feed is simply a url to insert into your rss reader -
for example if you decide to try www.rocketinfo.com add my rss feed
The rss feed for my iadultwebmaster blog is: ” http://www.iadultwebmaster.com/feed/ ”

I’ve added the rss feeds from these blogs and more…
- www.kblogger.com
- http://justtraffic.blogspot.com/

STEP 3. Every morning while I am having my coffee I am going to browse through the adultwebmaster blogs I’ve added to my reader to get the latest news and info from all the adultwebmaster blogs I am tracking.

- Fast, one click access to my favorite sources of adult business information.
- No need to waste time surfing to a blog if i dont see anything of interest
- Ability to keep track of as many different blogs as I want (not just adultwebmaster blogs)

PornHero makes his coffee just the way he likes it and…

…gets ready to read adultwebmaster blogs on his rss reader.

STEP 4. Use the latest adult business news and info that I get from the blogs in my daily business activies to stay one step ahead of my competition.

- take my advice and setup your first rss reader and you’ll be glad you did - you’ll feel like you’ve been working in the dark this whole time!

PornHero will be making more…

… cuz he uses a RSS reader to get adult business information effeciently…

There you have it… I will use the info and advice that I read on adultwebmaster blogs to help me make more money. My rss reader presents the informative blog entries on my desktop in a fast, efficient and effective manner.

SUGGESTION FOR SPONSORS:
- Build a simple “affiliate’s blog” for your sponsor program so that webmasters like myself can add your feed to see what is the latest news/updates for your sponsor program without having to log into your webmaster area.

- All you are really doing would be converting your “News” section of your webmaster area to a blog format using a blog script like www.wordpress.org.

Let’s make this a RSS feed/reader thread.

Post any rss questions, tips, favorite blog/rss resources you may have

Also - please post the url for your blog’s rss feed if you have one and I”ll add it to my reader

Ok, back to building and fucking around with my webmaster blog using wordpress!

I use to upload my files to my server using the WS FTP LE program.

It was a very basic FTP program. Not sure how good it is now cuz years ago I switched to

FlashFXP
http://www.flashfxp.com

and I am glad I did. I love it.

It lets me queue files, saves bookmarks to folders I use often on my server, keeps a memory of what I am uploading if I have to shut down my computer in a middle of a upload…etc, etc.

In short, it saves me time which is better spent on other things. Like building.

What kind of FTP software do you use? I know there are alot of them out there and everyone has thier favorite so just make sure you like your FTP software and it is making you more efficient - which means it is putting money in your pocket.

Having a blog is like putting a banana in front of the Google Gorilla.

This is what you are doing when you build and maintain a blog:

Feeding time for google - nice, nutritious baby formula (your blog):

mmmm… yummy, everything a growing Gorilla needs.

That’s my moneymaking tip of the day.

1. Install blog script on server.
2. Pick a niche.
3. Make it a habit of making regular entries. That’s the key.

If you decide to wait before starting a blog, this will be you a few months from now when you find out how much traffic your buddy gets from the Google gorilla:

I should have built a blog when PornHero suggested it:

Want more info?

Here is a good starting point: Just Traffic

Geez, the google gorilla will even help show you how to make his baby formula:

This is going to be my costume at this years Halloween party:

PornHero comes disguised as Google.

Take part in this blog discussion HERE…

I remember when I first started out as an adultwebmaster I would build gallery pages for free sites and tgps without really knowing how to pre-sell my sponsor’s sites.

What is pre-selling?

Pre-selling refers to informing and encouraging your surfers into visiting your sponsor sites so that by the time they hit the link with your linkcode in it they are excited to see the site you are sending them to. Most times surfers must feel like they are at a casino when they click on links… “Hmmm not sure what it means by More Amateurs HERE but lets just see…”

Recently I went through all the freesites I have built in the past and smiled to myself as I could see my progress from when I first started out (there was no preselling on my pages) to when I got really good at pre-selling.

Here is a page I built years ago that does not do much pre-selling:
Example gallery with not much preselling

Here is a page I think is a great example of pre-selling:
Take a look at this great Pre-selling page HERE.

How many adultwebmasters do you think clicked on the links above? Did you? Are you going to? I bet you alot do, I did a great job preselling them! I get sales from both pages but which one do you think converts better?

Here is a another secret: When you spend the extra time preselling you not only are helping to increase your conversion ratio of people that visit that page but you are also creating text for search engines… and over time all that additional search engine traffic makes a HUGE difference in the amount of money you make. Believe me.

Your homework today is to think about how well you presell and concentrate on spending more time preselling instead of rushing to build your gallery pages.

Now all this assumes you are using sponsors with informative tours that convert… I like reality and amateur style tours because they have storylines that can make it irrestible for some surfers to join. An example of what I am talking about is the reality sites from topbucks. Those reality tours are awesome and updated often which is important when it comes to selling memberships.

Well it seems that webblogs are taking over the adultwebmaster world. Everyone and their mother is starting up a porn blog. Now I usually dont like following the trends just cuz everyone is doing it but I have experienced that search engines like google really do like them.

I guess the reasons why search engines like to show blogs in results include:
- daily updated content which is more likely to be relavant rather than a pge that is 2 years old or even months old.

- visitors and surfers like the diary format of blogs with easily searchable archives of useful content.

- blogs tend to stick to a specific niche of content/info which means that a surfer that finds a blog in the topic they are interested is more likely to bookmark and have return visits which ups the value/experience of the search engine that sent them there.

So not to be left out in the cold I have started my first pornblog (iadultwebmaster is my second blog).

I am also starting a toplist site for blogs at TopPornBlogs.com. Feel free to add your blog if you have one! If you haven’t started a blog yet there are tons of great resources for you to check out. Here is one I recommend called JustTraffic.
