    I'm still learning the ropes ... so if someone would be so kind as to give specific directions on locating these Yahoo groups, I'd be grateful.

    Hello LdyLnWolf!

    This is one place to start... http://groups.yahoo.com/ it's literally the group start page.

    I have so many searches bookmarked I'd flood this page LOL I search on terms and go through the page results. I'm sure someone has an easier method but I like to play with search terms to see what I get and the amount of results I find with those terms.

    Hope it helps!

    they are at Groups.yahoo.com

    You will need a yahoo id and an email for them. If I where you, I would make a "fake" yahoo id with a junk email address because your going to get some CRAP emails. LOL

    Another thing you can do is set it up to not recieve emails from the group, and just check things out online. (But now you will not be able to see the images that people submit, unless the person puts them in the group floders.
    You'll get more with a kind word and a 2 by 4 then you'll get with just a kind word.

    Hey andymike,

    Nice to see you here! And a local boy too, right on!

    I agree totally about the yahoo groups. I've said this before on other boards and people didn't seem to agree. They slagged them off saying they were just places to go for free porn, but the truth is that they are communities. I have quite a long list of yahoo clubs that I belong to (and one I actually run). Not only do people post pics of themselves, but they can get really involved in discussions about thier lifestyles, fantasies and interests. And you'll find that they can get really quiet, but with one very active member with some probing questions, people will jump at the chance to share thier stories. It's a great resource for people who build adult sites. And Andy, I never thought about someone using the clubs to connect and test market (if you will) and adult site. Great idea!

    LdyLnWolf1 ... I used to rack my brains trying to come up with a good domain, you know with a couple of keywords separated by hyphens. (I don't go over board.) My two bear domains are doing fine, but I just couldn't get my twink site into Google. So, I hope this little story might prevent some problems for people down the road.

    Here's what I think has happened:

    My domain was www.keyword-keyword-keyword.com and it's been up since June and it's still not indexed. One of my other sites was put up just two weeks before that and it's indexed and has top rankings. My sites all have links from a PR 4 site, they have lots of written content, and don't break any rules.

    When I search for my URL in Google I find a couple of other sites like the following:

    http://www.anotherdomain.com/keyword...d-keyword-com/

    So, I don't know why, but I firmly believe that their inclusion of my URL in their URL is preventing my site from getting in. It's the only thing I can think of.

    What I'm doing now is I've just registered a new name, and I've chosen a different strategy. There's some scuttlebutt that Google is starting to penalize domains with too many keywords in the URL, and although it's only speculation at the moment, I think it's only a matter of time. So, I made up a word and registered that as my domain. I'm going to dump the old domain and just not re-register it.

    I won't be registering any more keyword-rich domain names. And I'm in the process of doing a quick redesign of the twink site, and I'm hoping it'll be in the search engines shortly.

    So LdyLnWolf1, by all means continue trying to come up with new themes, I'm just not sure I'd corporate them into your URL too much. I'm noticing some drastic changes in Google rankings with their latest update. It just happens to be affecting my sites in a good way, a lot of others are screaming. But where SEO goes, I've always tried to err on the side of caution and it seems to be paying off.

    Cheers

    Hey Don! Yea, I'm local. I'm out in Sherman Oaks. =o)

    I get members from that yahoo group all the time. They will email me and tell me that they are so glad they found it. LOL Weird huh?

    One of the only times I've really noticed much conversions from traffic that is 90% of the time looking for free stuff.

    Thanks guys!

    My dsl service automatically created a Yahoo account ... I'll just have to figure out how to make a different email address within it ... or just go with the one they made since I don't really use it.

    Forging ahead with the read, read, read, and read some more! LOL:elf:

    HAHAHAHA Pimp Daddy - I love it!

    You know I'd strongly suggest make sure you DO set up an junk mail account and get those spams. While receiving pics isn't my goal in life (well not anymore)... some of the spam email for sites and products have some interesting ideas on marketing. Some are blatant bullshite, but some that have come in had a twist to them that makes you think. Personally, I love it when something like that makes me think.

    I'm sure many of us are following this latest Google makeover, and it's certainly a hot topic on the webmaster boards. But I have to say that my non-adult sites, or sites I've built and manage for clients, didn't move a wink in standings... BUT they DO NOT have keywords in the url ... but do in their titles and metatags.

    My biggest non porn adult is a hyphenated url, and I haven't found that to be a hindrance in listings, in fact I was just reading an article about how it could actually help having a hypenated url for ranking. (don't ask me where now, I was surfing and have no clue where I was). My site with the hyphenated url holds 1 and 2 respectively for it's keywords in Google and Yahoo, and as I mentioned above, doesn't actually contain any keywords in the url.

    Google is head hunting those that use the programs that create all those doorway pages for search engines ... and legit sites are getting butt bitten in the process, unfortunately.

    As to your search not returning the hyphenated domain ... I found that doing the search without the hyphens found my site ... and using them didn't! No clue why. I guess if we're not a fly on the wall in the Google War Room ... we'll just have to keep stumbling along and hope we can stay afloat of how they setup their rankings.

    Good bit of advice andymike it surely would not be good to give your primary mail account to them giggles.

    We actually have a few yahoo groups listed on bentlinks but by far the most comprehensive gay list I have found is at http://www.gaygroups.info awesome list.

    Its a good place to start if you want to find all the big groups :grin: have fun
