Hello Webmasters and welcome to Affiliate Avenue.

How many times have you come across an adult blog only to find nothing but images and no text describing the scene or even a prevelant link to the sponsor? I see it all the time. I have to wonder how well they do for sales, and if they make any at all. Porn is, for the most part, a visual medium sure. But like promoting any product which you believe in, you have to sell it. Not putting up any text describing what’s going on in the video and/or images defeats the purpose of closing a deal if you ask me. Imagine walking into a car dealership shopping for a car and all the salesperson does is show you a bunch of pictures of vehicles for sale, but doesn’t say a word to you. Are going to buy one? Probably not.
Now…some folks use the descriptions provided by the site they’re promoting. Ok, so it’s better than nothing. The problem I find with this though is – how many other affiliates put that same description up on their own blogs? If the search engines pick them up more than your blog for some reason chances are you’ll be left in the dust due to the lack of originality of your blog entry text.
Keyword rich descriptions are the ticket in my experience. Words like “hardcore”, “cock”, “ass”, and “pussy” may have been used more times than any of us could ever imagine, but they still get attention from the engines. They’re all still words used by surfers looking for porn – regardless of their overuse. I find being original in your keywork phrases can help a lot. Instead of just using “cock”, try “chubby slut sucks huge dick” or something similar. Search engines like phrases as much as they do just one word. 5 words in the phrase seems to be the unofficial limit. This is a great tactic to use, as even if the surfer only puts in one of the words from your phrase, chances are your entry wil pop up somewhere in their search. That is what you’re trying to do after all.
Write some good text with your blog entries folks. Try experimenting with certain words and see what surfers are looking for. In the end your really will get more traffic, and more traffic equals one thing – more sales!
Happy Blogging!

Talk about a deal! Just when I thought that Certified Hosting was one of the lowest priced and most supported Adult Web Hosts out there, they go and offer something like this. For those who are ready to take the next step up from Shared Hosting to a Dedicated Server but don’t have the funds for a fully Dedicated Server, this could be your saving grace. I know it was for me. One of my main questions was “So will I see much of a difference with my sites and blogs loading up faster?” Legitimate question after all, as this isn’t a completely Dedicated Server and is still shared with 50 other accounts. As opposed to 200-300 accounts with a Shared Hosting Account. I was informed from the always efficient and fast responding Certified Hosting support that yes, I would notice a significant difference with my sites. Guess what? I surely did. I would estimate my blogs and sites load up about 5 times faster. More sales due to faster loading times? You bet!
Here’s a screenshot of their plans:
So what do you think? Think it’s about time you stepped up your hosting plan and not have to worry about surfers waiting forever for your sites and blogs to load up? I can vouch for the SEMI3 plan and tell you right now that you won’t be disappointed one bit. Call me on it if you want. I’ll be here.
