I see what you're doing Lee but I think it needs a bit of refining. In the loosest sense you're doing contextual ads.

For instance: When you link this phrase: "unbelievable basket of his" people expect to see a pic of some guy with an unbelievable basket. What they don't expect is to be taken to the front page of manspice.com

Another example: "Hell I enjoy cheese with my wraps". is linked and it goes to manspice.com

Why? It makes no sense.

In my opinion contextual ads work best when they actually go to a specific, site, product or what not. It takes more traffic when you're doing generic contextual ads.

I noticed that in some months you've got pics posted. But I didn't notice any in this month's posts. As this is basically a porn blog I would feature more pics. Interesting and unique hotties come to mind.

Just a couple thoughts for ya.

Cool thanks for the feedback Robin, ill pass that on to the guy who actually writes the daily updates :thumbsup:

Anyone else have any suggestions on how we can get affiliates more sales from Hardcore Pride?

I've been told to update my blog about 6 times a day and that'll increase the bookmarkers. They want to know they're getting a lot of updating.

6? that seems bit excessive to me, but hell, whatever works. I think that it is about the content... not just quantity... so as stated in another thread, one reason why writers charge $20 to $25 per post...

Coo I'd never get anything else done If I was updating 6 times a day.

I suppose if a blog is all you've got and you've got plenty of content and stories to work with or an army of writers...

I prefer quality over quantity myself. It's the same with email -- just because you can send out a lot of email doesn't mean that you should. You're going to find that sooner or later there is a decline in open, read and ctr's.

my 2 cents though based on my own experiences.
