While updating my adult blogs, I’ve decided to add a couple of new features and steps. I mean it was already a slow process so why not add a couple of hours for some potential bigger returns, right? Take a look at Monster Dicks, which I just finished so you can see what I’m talking about. In the top right box I now have:

  1. A new Feedburner chicklet,
  2. FeedCount counter via feedburner,
  3. Google Translate widget (which I was already adding),
  4. Addthis bookmark widget (which I was already adding).

I’ve removed the addthis rss widget as that is now accomplished via feedburner, and the old bookmark/rss widget as well.

Additionally, I’m now submitting my blogs to various sites which give me free one way backlinks. I’m not talking about spamming blogs or forums, or writing articles. This is a small list of sites I’ve accumulated which have indexed adult blogs for me in the past without requiring reciprocal backlinks. I’m also submitting to a couple of free directory and search engine submitter sites, and finally a directory ping service. I’m holding out on posting any links here to see what happens - the no recip sites worked for me in the past, but it may take weeks to get my sites listed - the directory submitters may hurt my ranking if the search engines consider the submissions from them to be spammy - and the ping service is just one of many that are easily found, so why waste the outgoing link.

In fact, feedburner has a built in pinger (PingShot) to notify weblogs when your feed is updated. I’m new to feedburner, having resisted it because I saw no good reason why to promote my feed using a third party. What changed my mind is my non and semi-adult blogs on blogger which I can get away with using AdSense on. Since Google now owns blogger and feedburner they now offer the oportunity to put AdSense ads into your feeds. As surfers become more tech savvy, they’re reading blogs more and more through RSS aggregators. Plus, it seems that a lot of directories are more likely to index feedburner feeds for the browsing surfer than other feeds. I’m guessing I’m onto a good strategy because I just finished that blog yesterday evening and by last night I already had three subscribers.

While speaking of success, I’ve noticed a significant increase in sales.  While I’d like to believe this is due to my reconfabulations, it may simply be due to summer.  This annual bump, I think, is due to college students rewarding themselves for 8 months of hard work with a little porn, as do high-schoolers (what can you do?) who now find themselves at home all day without adult supervision.
