The Daily Nibble

Sometimes it sucks being a webmaster!  My least favorite thing of everything running a successful website involves, is link building and link exchanges.  The whole process is quite absurd as you kindly ask people in your niche to link to your site in return for linking to theirs.  At the end of the day the only people that gain an advantage from such a system are the scammers and spammers who spend hours and use software to build an artificial presence on the web.

The reason I am rambling on about this is I just did some cleaning on our links page.  Basically I removed a bunch of sites that we had linked to hoping to get a little link love in return.  After several months if they have not linked back and don’t really have anything to offer our readers I clean them off the list.

Sometimes it feels good to do this.  We put our heart and soul into our website and make our site always about content first instead of just trying to make money.  So we tend to take it personal when we find websites in our swinger niche that ignore our requests for a link exchange.  It makes me wonder if they think our website sucks, or what issues they have with us. 

I can understand if it was a blog about jewelry, movies, or even a purely sexual blog.  But why would a blog about swinging not think our blog is a good fit?  We will give anyone the benefit of the doubt often linking to brand new swingers blog before they even have any readers (Trust me…most webmaster don’t do this)

Gentle Nibbles currently has over thirty thousand hits a month, over 200 readers, and we think it is full of terrific content, so it just confounds me when our blog is not good enough for a link on another blog or website specifically in the swinging niche.  In these cases it kind of feels good to hit the delete button on a link to a blog or website that we feel is taking advantage of all our free unreciprocated traffic.

OK So that was awful harsh and we are not really that pissy but there is atleast a couple of ounces of truth in the words above! 

Getting off the soapbox and up from the psychologist’s couch…

Wow!  We are getting crazy love the last couple of days from Yahoo.  We have been for awhile on terms like squirting and “female ejaculation” (don’t ask me why), but now we have really climbed the ranks on all terms related to swingfest, such as swingfest, “swingfest 2008″, “swingfest 2009, etc…

As a matter of fact we are front page on all searches and top five on most even ahead of the official Swingfest stuff.  All the hits are linking to our daily trip reports we filed while at Swingfest last year.  If it keeps up we will probably break another traffic record today on gentlenibbles.

It almost makes waking up early after a loooooong night of play to type our reports while at Swingfest worth it!

Google on the other hand as of January 5th has decided they don’t care for us much.  Our traffic died that day and is slowly improving but still about a tenth of what they use to refer.  Also it seems all of our backlinks are slowly disappearing from Google eyes.  Even though we have thousands according to all the other search engines, Google is only seeing fifteen right now.  What is crazy is the fact it is not even recognizing our DMOZ link, which is kind of the Holy Grail of backlinks due to the toughness to obtain one.

The Good news is even with all the “no-love” from Google we are still growing at a steady pace thanks to the other search engines and the fact are subscriber count goes up on a daily basis.  In the end I am sure it will all work out.

Here are some search terms people are finding us by today in order of popularity:
