AVN 2011 Best New Starlet Nominations

You may remember last year during award season there was some heated debates going on about the best new starlet category.  So who are the 2011 AVN nominees for the Best New Starlet category this year?  I paid a little visit to IAFD to find out.  You will see that most began work in 2009 with their first movies being released in 2010.

Some comment posting SEO secrets

Everyone loves free traffic to their website. I mean who wouldn’t, right? And everyone knows that the best free traffic you can get is from search engines. So then the question is, how exactly do you get your site to the top of the search engine to get all that free traffic?

Our friends over at Google tell us that “Webmasters can improve the rank of their sites by increasing the number of high-quality sites that link to their pages”.

Getting one site to link to your site is called an inbound link or in the SEO world, a backlink. In general terms, the more links from other sites to yours, the better. I can’t emphasize enough the importance of these links to your website.

So what do you do? Does that mean you should go out there and start trading text links with every website you can find? Of course not. In fact, Google tells us that not all links are equal. To Google quality is more important than quantity. Getting a few links from relevant, authoritative sites can greatly improve your site’s rankings, while dozens or even hundreds of links from other less authoritative sites can do almost nothing for you.

Google tells us that an authoritative site is one with “fresh, revolving content”. This means that the site is always adding new original material and revolving content is simply material that continually gets added and moved around on your site. Now keep in mind that’s the official answer from Google. In reality what the SEO experts have found is that a site with similar content and a high page rank is what you want.

So if you trade links with an adult site that has page rank of 1/10, that one link may not be as valuable as trading links with an adult themed site whose page rank is say 3 out of 10. Page ranks go from 1 to 10.

This site for example has a page rank of 4. The LukeisBack website has a page rank of 5. The website Adult DVD has a page rank of 4. Google’s home page is a PR8. Facebook is a PR10 site. If you aren’t sure you can easily get plugins for your web browser like the SEO toolbar for Firefox to help you find out.

Page rank is updated about twice a year. The more quality, relevant sites that link to you, the higher your page rank goes.

So you would think, oh page rank is what matters for search engine rankings then, no? No. Although it’s easy to make that mistake in thinking that, in reality the same data that determines your page rank (backlinks) helps you get better search engine rankings but one doesn’t have anything to do with the other. That is why a site with a PR1 or heck, even a PR0 site can get decent search engine rankings.

It can get confusing, I know but just keep this in mind. If I want to rank #1 in a search engine for my desired keyword, I need to get people who have a good listing already in that keyword and a good page rank to link from their site to mine.

So with all of that being said, how can you go about building some backlinks to your website?  Well one easy way is to find a blog or two or three that you like and start posting comments or replies to their posts.  Don’t be a spammy ass, just post a relevant reply making sure you link your site name and your page URL when making a reply so you get a backlink when making a comment post.

However I should mention not all blogs are created equal.  If a blog has a “no follow” tag – as most blogs do – comes default in wordpress even, then posting a comment is pointless.  the attribute (rel=”nofollow”) on hyperlinks, those links won’t get any credit when we rank websites in our search results.  To know if a blog is using the nofollow tag simply go to the page on their website with a comment already posted, view the page source, and click edit, find “nofollow” and if it is there, move on.  If it is not there, great – you just found a great resource for your website!

If you run a wordpress blog and want to take away the “no follow” tag for your comments then you should look for a plugin like – Wp-Dofollow. It can easily be found in the wordpress plugins directory.


The Truth About Alexa Exposed

No matter what the experts may say about the extreme inaccuracies in the Alexa reported statistics, the one thing I think most people will agree is that at the very least Alexa data is fun to look at. It’s fun to see who they are saying is most popular. Last week Twitter was #11, this week #10, Facebook is #2 and this same time last year, where was it? Has it really gotten THAT famous in just one year’s time?

But as fan as it may be to gawk at the facts and figures they present to us, we can’t help but at least think about those experts who claim the data given at Alexa is so unreliable, that looking at their “top lists” are pointless since the information they use to make them is completely false. So we know more know if Site A is more popular than Site B, than we did before looking at Alexa. They claim simply put that Alexa is not in any way shape or form reliable. Not only that, but it is flat out false.

If you search “Alexa is a joke“, you’ll find over 1.6 million results in Google. But colorful commentary aside, let’s break it down to simplistic terms.

If you have two websites, one ranks 100, the other ranks 200. The site who ranks 100 should, in theory have more traffic than the site that ranks 200. Right?

Well, it should be right but the reality of the situation is, it isn’t correct. They base their statistics on a sampling of traffic from those who use their toolbar and as such they have no real way to know how many visitors actually visit site 1 or site 2, they can only guesstimate based off of a small sampling of data, then they guesstimate on the rest and what happens when you guess?

You guessed it …. you are just as likely to be wrong as you are to be right.

But so far it’s just been idle chatter and speculation. I wanted to actually put Alexa to the test, a real test.

I was starting a little project with a friend of mine, a membership site. I registered a domain name and setup Elevated X on it to process the movies on it. This site has no traffic, no promotion, heck it didn’t even have a website on it. I put up a single page, with one graphic – no SEO to it. The site itself got 0 visitors other than myself and my partner in the last 60 days. Zero.

The site has a google page rank of 0/10, which is as it should be there is no SEO to the site at all, no back links, nothing.

So how does Alexa see this site?

Alexa Traffic Rank: 1,182,852

SERIOUSLY????????????????????

How does this happen?

Let me explain why this is a problem.

I have a porn star website that has been up for about 9 years.
This site gets about 800 unique visitors per day. This site is a PR3 website and has thousands of backlinks.

The Alexa Traffic Rank for that website is 3,269,433

I have another porn star website that has been up about 2 years. The site gets about 600 to 700 unique visitors per day. The site is a PR2 website and also has a few thousand back links.

The Alexa Traffic Rank for that website : 1,503,388.

So the point of all of this is what?

Stop bragging about your Alexa ranking because in the end it really means nothing more than saying your BlaBlaBleeBla Ranking is —-. Both mean nothing.

Holy Fuck McKenzee Miles is Hot as Shit

Below is some press release about some shit or another.  It’s about a Penthouse Pet and they can’t seem to even get her name right.  It is McKenzee Miles, but they promote her as McKenzie Miles.

I was going to make some long bitch ass post about how people in this industry really make no effort to get names right but then I seen the picture that Penthouse included about McKenzee Miles and she is just so fucking hot I couldn’t really do shit but think about how fucking hot she is and then nothing really else mattered to me anymore, not even how the fuck you spell her name.

Penthouse Pet Ryan Keely Adds Penthouse Pet Mckenzie Miles to Porn Star Sex Life on November 20th 2010 in New York City

Couples looking to spice up their sex lives will receive a special ticket with purchase

Penthouse Pet Ryan Keely will be joined by the stunning Penthouse Pet Mckenzie Miles for the Porn Star Sex Life seminar Saturday, November 20th, in New York City.  Porn Star Sex Life (PSSL) has been designed for men, women and couples who desire to learn more about their sexual encounters, expression, and create a better the sex life with their partner, or partners.

“I am extremely excited to have McKenzie Miles at my seminar,” says Keely. “She will bring such tremendous knowledge and motivation to those in attendance. This is truly a special treat, for them, and myself!”

The beautiful Mckenzee Miles has an associate’s degree in business as well as her real estate license, but she’s not all business. “Life is all about balance. When I need to handle work stuff, I’m professional. When it’s time to have fun, I get wild. I look forward to taking what I have learned and teach others.” Miles is also an adult film star who works with boys on camera, a great asset for the seminar, and for Keely’s workshop.

Mistress January Sereph will be on hand to speak on bringing bdsm into your sex life. She’ll be covering communication, safety as well as walking through a role-playing situation. Mistress January Seraph is professional Dominatrix who has a love affair with mainstream media, and a burning passion for BDSM education and outreach.  Her primary passion is to introduce BDSM and fetish activities to people who would otherwise shun such activities due to the negative stigma and sensationalism surrounding them.

An idea turned into reality stemming from Keely’s association with pick-up artist community Up Your Attraction (http://www.UpYourAttraction.com), Porn Star Sex Life was created to help empower people to take control of their sex lives. The workshop covers everything from pick-up tips, dating, sexual techniques and positions, how to pick up strippers and threesome etiquette.

While Porn Star Sex Life is geared toward males, Ryan is encouraging couples to attend by giving a special ticket for couples who purchase tickets to the event. “It is truly important to me that I am able to help couples who are in need of excitement in their personal lives. If they give me the time to help them, I want to give them something extra special, as a thank you for attending my class.”

Thanks in part to sex author Dan Savage, his philosophy of the “GGG—good, giving and game” made Keely comfortable enough to explore her own sexuality and wants to turn male encounters into more than just a one night stand.  Keely cites Savage’sSavage Love column and writer/director Tristan Taormino as big influences in her own sexual journey, a journey that includes working in the Hustler Hollywood San Diego store as a buyer and hosting radio programs for KSEXRadio.com as well as for Playboy radio.

The workshop has two price points.  The VIP Package is $225 and the Standard Package is $150.  To register for the seminar and to learn more about what each price point includes, please visit:  http://pornstarsexlife.eventbrite.com/

The Love Twins Get a Makeover

Former Vivid Girls, Lacey and Lyndsey Love, the identical twin phenoms better known as The Love Twins, today announced they have relaunched their official website and are now offering fans a whole new look at their lives as porn stars at www.LoveTwinsXXX.com.

Lyndsey Love said “Our fans kept asking when we were going to launch a membership site and start showing our movies.  At first we shied away from the idea because it was a lot of work and we didn’t even begin to how to get started and we knew if we ever did do something like this we had to be very involved in every single step.  They are our fans and they want to work with us not some weird guy we hired to do it all for us and pretend to be us.  And thanks to the help of our friends Kelli Roberts and Loryn Taylor, they made it so easy.  They helped us set things up in a way where we get to do all of our own updates, make all of our own posts, reply to fan messages, everything.

Besides the graphical overhaul, their new website includes the obligatory photos and movies that their fans can watch but also some unique features such as custom iPhone text reminders, and a feature they call Lacey vs Lyndsey where members can write in and ask for advice and both the girls give their answer in a unique twist on the he said/she said format.

The new website includes scenes from some of their more popular movies like My Evil Twin, Alphabet, Sisters Unchained and Joined at the Hip but also includes exclusive scenes the twins are shooting themselves at home.  Another interesting feature members of their new website might enjoy is a section of their website dedicated to other twin porn stars including Misha and Sasha, who were formerly known as the Sin Twins or the Anarchy Twins and there are even a few scenes from the very popular Milton Twins.

Loryn Taylor and Kelli Roberts said they will stay on and work with Lacey and Lyndsey Love including launching an affiliate program for the twins in the near future and they are even working with them on releasing a Love Twins branded novelty line.

ABOUT THE LOVE TWINS

The Love Twins first came on to the scene when they were signed by Vivid in 2005 and shortly after released their first movie Two Hot which would go on to be nominated that year for best sex comedy.  Their follow up movie True Hollywood Twins would go on to receive the same nomination the very next year.  When The Love Twins contract with Vivid Expired in 2007 they would go on to work with several other companies making movies for everyone including Digital Playground, Jules Jordan, Adam and Eve, Smash Pictures and more.  The Love Twins would also grace the covers of several men’s magazines including Swank, Club and Genesis and eventually they would launch their own official website, www.LoveTwinsXXX.com which they run themselves.  You can also follow them on Twitter at www.Twitter.com/TheLoveTwins


ABOUT LORYN TAYLOR

Loryn Taylor has been in the business for 8 years including a 5 year tenure at the Playboy owned adult.com as a marketing manager. Eventually she ventured off onto her own, working as an independent consultant for a variety of affiliate programs setting up commission deals and cross sells deals and the money was there, enough for her to stop looking for a company to work at and start her own.   You can follow Loryn on Twitter by going to www.twitter.com/LorynTaylor.

ABOUT KELLI ROBERTS

Kelli Roberts has 15 years of industry experience, running a collection of over 50 adult websites as well as working as an independent marketing consultant with several large companies.

The rights to the “Italian Stallion” film are up for sale on ebay!  Yes this is the adult film that Hollywood Legend Sylvester Stallone made years ago.  The ebay auction is set to end on November 20th so make your bids now!  It is truly a one of a kind, very unique piece of movie history that can be yours, if the price is right. 🙂  The bidding on this auction is considered private which basically means that your identity will not be disclosed to anyone except the seller.

He was then, he still is and always will be the “ITALIAN STALLION”.

Available for sale for the first time in 40 years, a unique piece of movie history, the world wide rights in perpetuity, complete with the original 35mm negatives to Sylvester Stallone’s WORLD FAMOUS soft core art film “ITALIAN STALLION”.

This film is a one of a kind collectible, a unique multi-million dollar business opportunity as the footage and images can be used for ANY PURPOSE.

This is Stallone’s first starring film role where he bares all as “Stud” whose world revolves entirely around sex, sex and more sex, an interest he shares with his girl, Kitty, who likes her men tough and muscular!

Shot in 1970, Stallone was paid $200 for two days work but would never do scenes like this again at any price. He recently starred in the mega blockbuster,”The Expendables” and is in planning for “The Expendables II.” now. Needless to say, there will be no “Italian Stallion II” as there were in the Mega series Rocky 1-6 or The Rambo Series.

FAQ

1) What is the name of this film? Originally, the working title in 1970 was “Party at Kitty and Studs”. The film was not released, however and once “Rocky” was under way, it was re-edited and released as “Italian Stallion”, which was also Sly’s nick name prior to “Rocky”.

2) What is the length of the movie? Did it get an academy award? 72 minutes. Sylvester Stallone is in most of it. It’s an art film, so no academy awards!!

3) I read there is a hardcore version, is there?. The film has a lot of sex, nudity and is outrageous, but it is not X porn. It never was intended to be. Bootleggers in Germany intercut the hardcore footage into it years ago. As we have world wide rights, we made them license it from us and send us a copy for approval. This version of the film will be included on a Digi Beta tape should yor desire.

5) I read that MGM tried to buy the movie from you last year? Yes, that is true. Unfortunately, they ran into severe financial difficulties and negotiations stalled.

6) Are the negatives in good condition? Yes, they were last inspected by Deluxe in 2007. I am also amenable, if required, to any reputable lab inspection in the Los Angeles area PRIOR to the end of the auction at your cost.

7) How can I contact you? You can contact me directly to answer any questions not covered in the faq at:: slybuy@webtv.net

You own the “Italian Stallion”, copyright and original negative, you can do whatever you want with it, enjoy it, keep it as an investment and/or make money with it, license it in the United States or overseas, home video, internet, tv, etc. The footage and images alone are a multi-million dollar opportunity and can be used for ANY PURPOSE, in fact, with the negatives and a good lab, they can digitize the color pixels and the footage could look like it was shot yesterday. The film transfer for the DVD and overseas sales was a basic one done several years ago. The film has never been released on HD, 3D or Blu-Ray.

9) Why are you selling? I am only selling if the price is right.

10) If I win, how do I pay? Bank wire within 24 hours.
