I am about to start a porn blog and I wonder which platform is the best to use. I wont use blogspot and wordpress doesn't really feel that suited for adult content or does it? What other platforms are there and is anyone especially suited for adult content?

I don't know a lot about blog platforms but upon recommendation I have been using wordpress because they allow adult content.

Yes Wordpress seem to be the main one outthere haven't seen that many pornblogs on there though.
Just was thinking if there is a platform that is more porn orientated but still good on SEO.

I'm not sure if you are interested in paying, but if so... I would get my own domain, some affordable web hosting and then install wordpress on it. It's not expensive and you would have 100% control over everything instead of having to worry about if your site gets pulled from one of those free services.
A domain name would run you around $9-$15 per year depending on where you pick it up.
Web hosting for a smaller sized blog with not much hosted movie content would run you around $10-$20 a month to start.
This way, you can place your own ads on there and do what you like. If you're interested, I can help you get it all set up. I'm not looking to sell you anything... just help out a fellow blogger. Setting up wordpress on a server would honestly take me less than 5 minutes and you'll be up and running.

Swirlie: Thanxs! Both for the advice and the offer. I might actually hold you to it. Need to do some more research still.
But the solution you suggest seem like a smart one. I'll chek out your blog aswell.

Whenever you're ready to dive in, let me know. I can point you to some resources that worked out for me. Again, I don't have a stake in any of it... just some good companies that did me right and are affordable.

I think Typepad is great. It's very user friendly and gives you good options to manage everything. I've heard the best is Drupal, if you understand how it works, but its very complicated (at least to me). Just trying to create a blog on Drupal gives me a headache.

Thanxs again! The optimal solution before hearing Swirlies suggestion would have been a free platform and host that has a high adult orientation since it might be easier to get the word around then.
Graham: I'll definitively look into your suggestions aswell.

Is this true policywise or do they judge situation for situation? I am a bit scared of that report (about adult content) on their system.

Yikes - this thread is making me nervous. Why don't you use blogspot? It sounds like folks are saying they don't allow adult content, but I've been using blogspot and have that "warning" thing set up. Am I gonna get in trouble or something?

Ok, checked for myself - this is blogger's policy:
"Adult Content: We do allow adult content on Blogger, including images or videos that contain nudity or sexual activity. But, please mark your blog as 'adult' in your Blogger settings. Otherwise, we may put it behind a 'mature content' interstitial.
There are some exceptions to our adult content policy:
Do not use Blogger as a way to make money on adult content. For example, don't create blogs where a significant percentage of the content is ads or links to commercial porn sites.
No incest or bestiality content: We do not allow image, video or text content that depicts or encourages incest or bestiality."
Anyway, I would still be interested in why some refuse to use blogger.

I don't like blogger because their software is really messy to use and all blog tools to see visitors and others must be installed as plugins! Its areally lagging system. Wordpress is smoother but honestly doesn't feel that porn friendly!

Gore Girl:

No incest or bestiality content: We do not allow image, video or text content that depicts or encourages incest or bestiality."
I'm still on the fence about this but if I go with Blogger and use adsense most ads will be adult oriented automatic thanks to my content and tags does that mean they can close the blog down?

I've been using Blogger to post screencaps of the videos I've watched, and give a brief summary of select ones I've had time to describe. I like that it's linked to Picasa, so I use it to post pictures of some of my favorite pornstars. Talk about being obsessed! :)

Actually on the bandwagon to finally start up this long over-due project... would you say its smart or stupid to go with a domain name/title that has porn in it?
Or will it cause more damage/penalties through google or iTunes (thinking of attatching a podcast to it in the future) because their hate for porn?

^ There are a number of podcasts available through itunes with the word "porn" in them, so I can't see you having any trouble.
Regarding blogger, they made a subtle change to their policy on adult content: "Do not use Blogger as a way to make money on adult content. For example, don't create blogs that contain ads or links to commercial porn sites." They removed the "significant percentage" part and I remember a few people freaking out about this, as simply providing links could put your blog in jeopardy. I have had no trouble, however (so far).

Gore: Thanks for the input! I actually tried searching iTunes for "porn" podcast but only could find podcasts without porn in the title but I'll look again.
So you don't think I'll be penalized in google rankings by having "porn" in the site name?

There's this one: The Porn Director's Podcast
There are also all the weird antiporn ones like Porn and the Bible and XXX Church. The other porn podcasts I listen to all have fairly innocuous names (The Rialto Report, The Morning After etc.) so maybe they know something I don't, or perhaps are just being cautious?
As for being penalized by google in the rankings, I have no idea. Someone more knowledgeable will have to chime in.
As an aside, I don't think you ever explained what the focus of the blog would be. Do tell!

Mainly a place to promote girls/guys/old scenes and spill my thoughts on the business in general.
It won't be a link farm to tube sites. One problem though is to find enough promotion material that I can use on the site without breaking any laws...
For instance I've read that I can't post explicit pics, not because of copyright violation (its promotion material to begin with) but because I don't have the paperwork that clears the scenes myself. Having to track down usable pics, videos that aren't explicit to feature on the blog will be such a hassle.
Anyone know if Pornlaw Michael is still posting on here? Maybe he knows how I should go about it?
I guess I might be able to use nude pics on there though since nude pics can be posted on here since rules and regulations were updated.
