The Crappy Part of Running a Website

Sometimes it sucks being a webmaster!  My least favorite thing of everything running a successful website involves, is link building and link exchanges.  The whole process is quite absurd as you kindly ask people in your niche to link to your site in return for linking to theirs.  At the end of the day the only people that gain an advantage from such a system are the scammers and spammers who spend hours and use software to build an artificial presence on the web.

The reason I am rambling on about this is I just did some cleaning on our links page.  Basically I removed a bunch of sites that we had linked to hoping to get a little link love in return.  After several months if they have not linked back and don’t really have anything to offer our readers I clean them off the list.

Sometimes it feels good to do this.  We put our heart and soul into our website and make our site always about content first instead of just trying to make money.  So we tend to take it personal when we find websites in our swinger niche that ignore our requests for a link exchange.  It makes me wonder if they think our website sucks, or what issues they have with us. 

I can understand if it was a blog about jewelry, movies, or even a purely sexual blog.  But why would a blog about swinging not think our blog is a good fit?  We will give anyone the benefit of the doubt often linking to brand new swingers blog before they even have any readers (Trust me…most webmaster don’t do this)

Gentle Nibbles currently has over thirty thousand hits a month, over 200 readers, and we think it is full of terrific content, so it just confounds me when our blog is not good enough for a link on another blog or website specifically in the swinging niche.  In these cases it kind of feels good to hit the delete button on a link to a blog or website that we feel is taking advantage of all our free unreciprocated traffic.

OK So that was awful harsh and we are not really that pissy but there is atleast a couple of ounces of truth in the words above! 

Getting off the soapbox and up from the psychologist’s couch…

Yahoo Love, but Google Still Hates Us

Wow!  We are getting crazy love the last couple of days from Yahoo.  We have been for awhile on terms like squirting and “female ejaculation” (don’t ask me why), but now we have really climbed the ranks on all terms related to swingfest, such as swingfest, “swingfest 2008″, “swingfest 2009, etc…

As a matter of fact we are front page on all searches and top five on most even ahead of the official Swingfest stuff.  All the hits are linking to our daily trip reports we filed while at Swingfest last year.  If it keeps up we will probably break another traffic record today on gentlenibbles.

It almost makes waking up early after a loooooong night of play to type our reports while at Swingfest worth it!

Google on the other hand as of January 5th has decided they don’t care for us much.  Our traffic died that day and is slowly improving but still about a tenth of what they use to refer.  Also it seems all of our backlinks are slowly disappearing from Google eyes.  Even though we have thousands according to all the other search engines, Google is only seeing fifteen right now.  What is crazy is the fact it is not even recognizing our DMOZ link, which is kind of the Holy Grail of backlinks due to the toughness to obtain one.

The Good news is even with all the “no-love” from Google we are still growing at a steady pace thanks to the other search engines and the fact are subscriber count goes up on a daily basis.  In the end I am sure it will all work out.

Here are some search terms people are finding us by today in order of popularity:

Strength in Numbers

I had a great conversation on Friday with John (of Swingercast) who is a fellow legitimate adult webmaster and also has become  a friend. …and not just because we got in bed with him and his wife either!

We spoke for probably about an hour about several major topics from “What the hell is happening over at Swingfest” to Google and it’s latest treatment to our websites.

One of the best conversations that came up was discussion about creating a group of legitimate adult webmasters to come together as a group to discuss challenges and strategies facing our businesses.

You see, as a webmaster who happens to have a website that carries a focus on any adult related activity or discussion, it becomes exponentially more difficult and requires much more persistance to have a successful online presence. The reason is the complete saturation of the “keywords” surfers choose to locate us in the search engines with deceptive, spam filled,  and low quality porn sites.

There are literally millions of those websites that Gentlenibbles.com and other legitimate websites compete with on a daily basis to try and move closer to the front page of search results in the major search engines. It is not only the numbers that put the odds against legitimate websites, but the organization and practices of these “crap” website’s webmasters further complicate the process.

Goolge, as great as they are, really seem to have it completely backwards when it comes to “adult” keywords and the bad guys seem to be the ones that have found a way to cheat the system.

….ok enough rambling

The idea of getting a large group of legitimate website owners is very appealing for several reasons.

1. Shared knowledge is a very powerful thing!
2. Group Strategy is way more powerful than individual efforts.
3. Getting to know a community of peers is fun and rewarding.
4. As a group maybe we can get the attention of some of the major players in the Search Engine World to take notice of a flawed system and help us find ways to fix it!
5. Most Importantly- Hopefully some of them are pretty damn sexy!

So now I am trying to work on a list of these legitimate webmasters so we can get their opinions as well as come up with a name for our little group.  Here are some thoughts

• ALAW -Association of Legitimate Adult Webmasters
• SEAW -Society of Ethical Adult Webmasters

I have a couple of others as well.  The point is I would like to come up with something catchy.  If I could come up with something where the acronym spelled something catchy or fitting that would be cool as well. 

If you are a webmaster and would like to be included on the list or have a good idea to share leave us a comment or send us an email to thenibblers@gentlenibbles.com.
