Jaan, I’d argue that sites like Youporn are built on a business model shared by all the other successful adult sites on the web: a focus on traffic - where ever and however you can get it. Those sites, similiar to Wikipedia and YouTube, were not built on SEO. They were built on offering a unique service and filling a need.

I think with the recent success of websites like youporn and other adult blogs I think SEO still can be done effectively.

[…] * As always great stuff from John Andrews. His take on offensive and defensive SEO (aka: being a dirty bastard) is a must read. I’ve also been into the domaining space for a bit now and can start posting a little more about it. John discusses domain development and liquidity. Newest panhandler sign: “Will SEO For Equity”. * Ready to peddle some porn? Good luck. […]

“But I decided just to park them… stupid morals.”

There are some morally reprehensible stuff out there. There are also content producers that take porn to a whole ‘nother level. 90% of porn is crap; you just got to find the other 10% worth promoting.

I recently have bought up several porn names and was thinking about getting in the game… But I decided just to park them… stupid morals. I think you can learn a lot from the porn SEO’s especially link building and image optimization.

This is becoming a very popular topic throughout the non-adult SEO community. It will be interesting to see if it is the sleeper topic of 2008.

“Life is not any easier with surfers getting youporn , redtube ect for free.”

Yeah, but the biggest threat to sales isn’t even that, bittorent, or password sharing. The real problem is that most paysites suck. The adult industry on the whole’s been lazy, offering as little as possible and asking for an arm and leg in return, using every trick in the book to try to squeeze every dime out of a surfer’s pocket. If youporn brings that business model down to its knees, I won’t be shedding any tears.

Life is not any easier with surfers getting youporn , redtube ect for free. Obviously you need a niche with a following that has not been saturated on the free sites. Granny Midgets? yuck. Just kidding lol

“Poorly created adult sites with ridiculous linking rules are abound.”

Link rules is definitely one of the diehard problems. More and more free site submitters are moving away from link lists and submitting to video upload sites where they don’t have to bother creating recip tables.

If free site submitters were willing to submit recip-free to link lists that linked to them via nofollow, some link list owners might see improvements in ranking, but as of now many dont send enough traffic for free site owners to want to go that route.

Actually a very interesting article you’ve got here … I’ve thought about this subject a few times as well …

Most porn sites advertise and buy traffic … And of course they link between each other only, resulting is a closed circle of traffic so to speak …

Bad neighborhoods are everywhere. Poorly created adult sites with ridiculous linking rules are abound. Hardly anyone will link to you unless you’re willing to give up half your traffic. Etc, etc. The best way to optimize for keywords is to get linked on adult webmaster sites by offering something useful to the community. Not entirely ideal, but this does work.
