Nothing about Google is pretty when it comes to Adult, and adult webmasters. If you dropped from $30K to $10K being creative and unique, then that's another victim of Google's pillage.

I think I hurt myself a year ago when I spent some time doing Google Analytics, and site maps and merchant feed, etc. I've slowly been getting rid of those "tools" with Google. Some say, they do nothing but aid Google to discriminate against you, especially if you do not pay their bribe/ransom adwords.

I added some PHP code to my sites over the past few months, that tracks HTTP_REFERER, QUERY_STRING and HTTP_USER_AGENT.

Google hardly comes to my sites. Bing does a lot more.

There's 10 other Bots that I have been adding to my robots.txt file, because they aren't from commonly used search engines. No use pretending I've got traffic, if the traffic is bots from weird places. Some estimates are that as high as 50% of web traffic is non-human.

Even if you're making $10K, those are pennies from heaven, that are more valuable to you than to anyone else.

I don't have a member pay site, so I don't have sponsor promo material for you, but as Luke started a thread about some months ago, and Bec seems to affirm, being an affiliate of the top VOD sites AEBN, HotMovies and BadPuppy's DogGone Video is worthwhile, and worth some effort.

As a studio, I post info about my new and older movies on all 3 VOD sites, from time-to-time, especially lately in the Foreskin Fridays, and Ass Wednesdays.
