Adult Blogs: Text Or Not?

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!
