Some of my reported visits are coming from places that no one except me would be able to access for example 123-reg, so unless someone in that office is looking i think it must be me? If this is so is there a way to stop this as i want my stats to only record proper visits from other users.

If I update the code on the advanced page editor the change shows in the preview but how do you set it live on the real site, once updated it doesn't show on the live site - pnly the preview and there are no buttons etc. to click to set it live? ]]> Tue, 17 Nov 2009 20:46:34 +0000 http://forum.diydating.com/index.php?showtopic=866 http://forum.diydating.com/index.php?showtopic=863 Social networking sites such as facebook can be a good source of traffic and a good way to spread the word about your site. Also Google in particular seems to put a lot of weight into links from social network sites. So my suggestion I that social network buttons should be placed onto DIY templates and a code developed by DIY Dating for existing sites to add to their sites.

The principle is this: The site takes blogs into it's directory. Proper blogs, not B.S. ones it has churned out itself, as they offer the incentive for these bloggers to get free relevant and moderated content which is an attractive proposition.

The person who wants to develop the backlinks can submit an article to up to 30 of these blogs with 1 click and include 1 link for 350 word article and 2 links in a 450+ word article free of charge. I just published my first one on their system and will get 60 backlinks to a site of mine (more if you add in the 'tag page')

So what is different to simple article publishing/submitting? Many things as far as I can see. Your links are in the body of the article text so they are 'natural looking' , the links are guaranteed not to be removed (part of the bloggers TOS) . There is a tool which enables you to 'spin' your title and article text so it randomly creates slightly different content each time its published to avoid duplication. There are many more advantages as well, you will have to check out the site for all the details .

There is a 'pro' membership' which costs, but the free version is very usable and I, personally, will only upgrade when I see the results but it looks quite impressive so far.

Here is the link 'Free Traffic Exchange'

Have fun with it!]]> Fri, 28 Aug 2009 12:56:06 +0000 http://forum.diydating.com/index.php?showtopic=844 http://forum.diydating.com/index.php?showtopic=864 I wonder how everyone is doing on their dating sites and what marketing strategies you have in place.

Had my first dating site about 6 weeks ago, no upgrades yet, plenty of lookers and no takers, done loads of link exchanges, search engines, you named it tried it. Has anyone got any other ideas, how to generate a lot of traffic, with definate sign ups, have had 7 profiles so far.

I have regular dating, adult dating, gay dating and tv,ts,tg dating.

www.date-me-please.co.uk
www.venus-x.co.uk

Why do the visitors come along and sign in having registered free, but not then want to upgrade?

These things are always a numbers game and I get probably 2 or three registrations a day and 300 hits plus a day, that has to amount to something...]]> Thu, 12 Nov 2009 16:08:16 +0000 http://forum.diydating.com/index.php?showtopic=862 http://forum.diydating.com/index.php?showtopic=856 just popped in to say hello and get to know you all.

Thank you for your help]]> Mon, 09 Nov 2009 12:16:25 +0000 http://forum.diydating.com/index.php?showtopic=859 http://forum.diydating.com/index.php?showtopic=861

Most of your traffic will probably come from the main search engines. Ideally you want to ranking for keywords that have a reasonably high number of daily searches. Seobook have a tool which enables you to see the daily searches for a keyword in all the three major search engines. The tool is very quick and easy to use and you may spot a niche to target

It has been mentioned on a number on occasions in this forum of the benefits of having your own domain name rather than having a DIY subdomain. If your desired domain has already been registered this Domain Suggestion Tool I think is easily the best domain suggest tool I have come across. It will come up with some usable alternative suggestions.

Having a unique site has again been identified in this forum as key to creating your own brand and thus improving your chances of success. A free way to achieve this is to learn HTML and CSS yourself and alter a DIY template site. At w3schools.com you will find free try-it-yourself online tutorials that will teach your everything you need to know about HTML XTML and CSS. Spend A couple of hours going through the tutorials and you wil have all the info you need to make your site unique

In keeping with creating uniqueness, as you probably know your are able to upload your own images for use on your site. The is a limit on the size of those images currently set at 50k. In order to get my images to come at or below 50k I use an online resize tool Smalljpg.com This free tool allows to to re size and change quality values of photos up to 9m the tool is easy to use and is completely free.

You can find 5 million free images at commons.wikimedia.org If you can't find what you are looking for and you absolutely must pay then try Absolutvision you can get 10 picks for $4.99, the cheapest I could find.

To earn additional revenue from your site you might want to try AdultAdworld Webmasters can get paid for every page Impression.They have CPM ads that pay you for every impression your site generates which pay upto $3-5 per thousands impression. English speaking traffic will pay the most. I have gone for the pop unders as they are less intrusive. Although predominantly an adult network when you have completed the sign up process you will find you are able to you add Non adult sites also.

I tool that can be handy if you don't have the best word processing software is Spellchecker.net Just cut and paste your website content into this tool for spelling, grammar, and thesaurus checking. Nothing will put of potential members than por spelig

A lot is talked about search engine optimisation and the importance of optimising your site for your chosen keywords to achieve higher rankings in search engines. If you want to try your hand at optimising your site you can download demo software from Ibusinesspromoter.com and Link Assistant both demos allow to check if you site is optimized for your chosen keywords. The downside is that that much of the advice to improve you rating is not shown in the demo. However I have found that if you copy and paste a general sentence from your report and do an advance search in google you will find reports that contain all the advice intact. Obviously the reports you find on the net are geared to that particular companies keywords. You will however, get a clearer idea of the route your site should be taking. (I hope that makes sense)

I hope these resources prove useful. I will continue to add any additional resources as and when I find them.]]> Wed, 11 Nov 2009 09:40:42 +0000 http://forum.diydating.com/index.php?showtopic=861 http://forum.diydating.com/index.php?showtopic=860 I now have 3 dating sites with DIY Dating, regular dating, adult dating, gay dating, still waiting for my first upgrade, have done plenty of link exchanges, been working really hard at my sites, just enquirying, whether anyone can give me a good website that does free SEO

I just wanted to let you know that if you want your own unique design for your DIY website please let me know. I have now taken on a very good designer and we can do you a great price on your DIY design.

Don't get me wrong the DIY templates are good but think about how many webmasters DIY has and how many website may all have the same look to them. If you want your own individual look and have it created within 48 hours let me know, of course with the festive holiday season very close it may take a little while longer.

We can create Adult templates not smutty but sexy and also dating template as well, you'll love the reasonable prices too.

At http://perpetualprospering.com/earn/ you can submit your site to 125 search engines for free.
If you'll join Ebay, if you haven't already, then do a simple search for "web sites", peruse the findings and you'll find a person there is selling the option of 700,000,000 links for a little under $5.00 U.S..
I've done both with the site I just opened up here but can't vouch for any returns for any of it as of yet.
I've also Googled and found where some vendors will sell you hits to your site by using expired domain names as re-directions or utilizing pop unders to direct others to your site.
I don't recommend pop unders as most folks use a popup blocker and it's underhanded anyway.
The link redirection might give you one out of a thousand sign ups as the re-directions aren't targeted so that would have to be a judgment call.]]> Wed, 14 Oct 2009 14:22:02 +0000 http://forum.diydating.com/index.php?showtopic=851
