Introduction

Actually “quality splogs” isn’t the right word. Cause splogs are generally seen as blogs with text you didn’t write yourself. But in this tutorial we will write a part of the blog post, so that it is unique and handwritten.

When this guide is finished you will have a small sized network of quality splogs that attract search engine traffic and will be accepted by quality blog directories. This network will bring you a stable income.

The main benefits from quality splogs compare to splogs are:
- quality splogs contain handwritten text.
- because it contains handwritten text it is accepted as normal blogs by quality blog directories.
- and again because it contains handwritten text you will get far more and better search engine traffic.
- and because you put effort in these blogs you will get easier link trades.
- and because you can change your blog posts you can optimize the blog post so that it will convert (bring in $$) better.
- a basis to a stable income.
- unlimited content for your blog.
- and there are many more.

The tools we will be using are:
- Gallery2Blog ( http://www.adultblogresource.com/gallery2blog/ ), this will convert a free hosted gallery list to blog post. In the middle of this process you will be able to add handwritten text to the blog post.
- Your own hosting or Thumblogger ( http://www.thumblogger.com/ ) or SensualWriter ( http://sensualwriter.com/ ). Gallery2blog directly supports thumblogger and sensualwriter, you will need to get a wordpress plugin for your own hosting.
- A pack of beer. How this might come in handy will be explained another time.
- Some evenings.

Because i can’t change this post after 15 minutes i have setup the following page:
http://www.adultblogresource.com/gallery2blog/np/

When i post a new part of this tutorial in this topic i will add a link to the above url. This way you don’t have to dig through tens of pages just to find the content that is needed for this tutorial.

The steps for today:
1. Get a gallery2blog account and look around, don’t worry if you don’t understand it.
2. Place a link to gallery2blog on your webmaster page (this is the only requirement for gallery2blog). If you don’t have a webmaster page, then just skip this step and wait till you have a couple blogs.
3. Get your self some hosting or go with thumblogger or sensualwriter.
4. Go and party wild this evening, cause you will be seeing yourself behind the computer on many other evenings.

Feel free to ask questions if you have any. And lets hope this will be your final breakthrough in the blogging world!

Google Duplication Filter and RSS feeds. Some thoughts about the consequences

I was wondering now we saw that there is a google duplication filter how this effects blog solely based on rss feeds.
( go to http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=%22Virgin+Teen+Lesbians+Episode+25%22&btnG=Google+Search found 1120 sites, go to page 4, 36 of 1120 are displayed in the search results, 1048 sites are filtered )

The point of blogs feeded with rss feed is to get search engine traffic and to bring in some $. But when you are hidden from the search results you won’t get much search engine traffic at all. Meaning that you won’t get much $.

The only way to be in the visible search results again is to make your blog stand out of the crowd of other blogs using the same rss feeds. Which in generally means work.

Everyone submits to blog directories, so you can’t make much difference with that one. Everyone link trades with other or their own blogs, no much difference there too.

And in generally rss feeded blogs aren’t there to spent a lot of time at, so if you don’t you will get no or very little search engine traffic. Meaning that the actual point (getting SE traffic) of rss feeded blog is not reached, meaning that these blogs are kind of useless without you spending extra work on them.

If you are going to spend extra work on them, why not go for the more quality blogs: you get more search engine traffic and your blogs are future proof (cause search engine can change the rules of the game any time) and many more benefits. Or go with scripts that can rewrite rss feeds so that they will become unique.

Just some thoughts..

Planned Hardware Upgrade at Thumblogger

Some of the hardware of the thumblogger server will be upgraded tomorrow (Friday, 07/13/07) somewhere between 2am – 4am CDT (which is 8am to 10am GMT). The upgrade will likely take less then 30 minutes.

I will post a message when the exact time is known.

It will hopefully make the thumblogger server even more faster!

Publish feedlist to sFTP

I’m afraid that only normal ftp is supported. But you can limit your ftp access to the ip address of the myfeedlist server, this way only the myfeedlist server will be able to upload something to your ftp server.

File with filename !/thumbs/6.jpg already exists

Blog Post Builder will sometimes give you this error,  it happens when you remove the settingscontext.dat file. The solution is quite simple:

Try going to you thumbs folder in the blog post builder folder and delete all the files in the thumbs folder.

You can also open “settingscontext.dat” and change the following line to:
integer_imgid=1000

That should fix it

Blog or Splog?

Why not take the middle way?
A blog post with a picture+link and a few sentences of handwritten text, it is quick to write and it get search engine traffic.

What to do with blog directories that send no traffic?

I would suggest you notify the blog directory owner of the removal of the links when you remove them, otherwise you might get banned.

I also would suggest to take a look at the directory and see if they sort the blogs on incoming hits, if that is true then try to place the link to the directory on a better place so that surfers might click them. This will often result in more traffic from the directory.

Considering the dark side?

Are you flipping to the dark side?

You might want to take a peek at gallery2blog tutorial:
http://www.adultblogresource.com/gallery2blog/help/

This is general seen as a middle way, not black and not white, the more text you add to the gallery description the whiter you get. Just take a peek and see if it is your thing, some people are getting totally crazy about it

The Blog Submitter and the Blog Directories are back on the track!

I was quite busy with non computer stuff last week, this caused some trouble with processing the submission queues of the blog submitter and the blog directories. I actually processed a few blogs here and a few blog there in the little free time i had, no real structure. But this morning i finished all the processing work i still had to had to do.

When you submitted a blog in the last 3-4 days and you didn’t yet receive a accept email then you should receive one in the next couple hours.

I hope all your blog submissions were accepted!

Please note most blogs that don’t get accepted are either down when i looked at the blog or broke the rules that only 1 blog a day should be submitted. When you submit more than 1 blog a day then the others are silently ignored.

The feedlists are planned for the afternoon!
