I hate it when my computer decides that it hates me and then hangs up… nothing works… white screens and a meltdown and this usually happens when I writing about something here. So of course do I remember what it was I was writing about - well, not in so many words. DAMN!!! I hate that too, because it wasn’t too bad.

So I’ll hobble together my thoughts and see if I can “recreate” the beauty of it all. Heh.

Last night I decided to dust off one of my domain names, it actually had a site too - but I’d not been there in so long I’d forgotten what the password was for the directory and too, I just didn’t really like the directory either. So I nuked it. Then I went around to other sites in that niche to see what they were doing - how were they getting links and PR love, that for the love of God I can’t seem to get for this niche of mine. (It’s a wee bit adult related…. ok it’s A LOT adult related content) which Google seems to hate with a passion. So I was curious to see how they’d built up their sites to PR 4’s and 5’s. Because, that’s just what I do… and I was sort of surprised that all backlinks to the sites that I saw were from themselves. I was hoping to find a few links from outbound sites - so that maybe I could scoop a link or two from them as well. But no, no such luck.

So now last night I went back to the PR 4’s and PR 5 sites and took a look around to see what they’d done. I have several blog style sites - which are great to update, but I’ve not had great success in converting the visitors… or getting visitors for that matter to these adult sites.

I’ve been to the boards searching for help to get more traffic - but I’m not really in the mood to spend cash (not quite yet) and the usual routes to place ads on sites… isn’t really flying for me either at the moment. So I think I’ll be working on my site, build up the content and then see if I can find a few sites to exchange links with, maybe hunt down some text link exchange programs that don’t mind placing on adult sites and see where it takes me.

I’m hoping to have this site up and running at the end of the month.

With my other sites, I’ve not really seen much action lately. My usual good performing sites, haven’t really been performing - could it be the spring break lull. I’m hoping that’s it. Maybe I need to focus on link exchanges and getting my sites out there into the Internet a bit more. Maybe I need to start posting more on other blogs, and all that good stuff.
