Seo services provider?
 

Hi everyone,


I run an adult site and I’m looking for the best SEO provider who has experience in the adult niche. Can anyone recommend a reliable service or provider?

Hello, Still looking for SEO services provider?

Hello - thank you for reaching out - how may I help? and what niche are you providing

+1 for Legacy!

Whatever you do, always pay with Paypal, I got scammed by a so-called famous adult SEO agency (which wasl listed on porndude site) turned out it was a scammy agency in India. They did shit work, had fake US address and phone number etc... I won the paypal dispute and got al my money back.

ThatWare, UniK SEO, and Orbit Infotech

It's pretty scary when dealing with SEO agencies outside of being credible and knowing what SEO actually is. But webmasters get sucked in because of the price. If you're thinking 100 to 500 dollars is going to save your site or is a good price for SEO you're dead wrong. Consider your money wasted. Always check to see the agencies/persons credentials and history.

I trusted the site cause it was recommend and reviewed d by theporndude (on his pornwebmasters site) The price was something like 500$ a month for basic SEO, which is not so cheap I think :-(

I've worked in mainstream and adult for a long time and $500/mo for SEO would buy you maybe 2-4 hours of good labor in mainstream. I am assuming they were doing way more than 4 hours of labor per month. I think such a low fee is a red flag that the person doesn't value their own skillset and you shouldn't either.

I undesrtand you perfectly, but other agencies asked for 2 / 3,000 bucks per month. How are we supposed to pay that when just starting a new business ? Unless you have 50,000K in the bank to start, its a huge amoutn of money, and you re not even sure about the results.

Hey, you're not wrong! If you're just starting out, the honest and best solution is to have your website developer put in best practices for on-page SEO (which they should already be doing) and then push traffic from affiliates, review sites, galleries, mailers, and social media. Once you get income flowing, that's when you reinvest and get things perfect. There's a lot you can get away with just having on-page SEO and maybe paying for a few hours of consultation, rather than deploying a proper campaign. Once things are rolling, then you have to work on keyword analysis, A/B testing, backlinks, etc. later.

If one guy is charging $500 and every other agency is charging much higher, what does that say about the $500 guy though? That's where I think outside of the box and do something else in the interim until success gives you the leverage you need to do it the right way.

Yep agree 100% :thumbsup

try https://hardlinks.org/ :2 cents::thumbsup

Totally agree with you.
What I find is if a SEO person is charging 500 it's because they are relying on SEMRush or another 3rd party software to do all the work - problem is there is so many things wrong with using it that people don't realize starting with it's a different algorithm that Google. Numbers are always different etc.

Now this guy here Kvns - only wanted to offer 100 dollars for SEO work. Obviously doesn't understand it and undervalues the person greatly - he then wanted me to proceed working with no money exchange an when the traffic arrives - he'll decide whether he'll pay more than 100 if it was worth it. Im' sorry - we're not vacuum cleaner door to door sales people - you wouldn't dare do that to anyone else and if you do you're not getting very far especially with the problems the site has.

Paying several thousand dollars is to much - but around 1599 to 2000 per month is fair to start and common in the industry.

Hello - I have an offer for you since Im not sure whether you can appreciate the effort that goes into all this and value.

I will do a full audit of all of your pages, including suggested changes, for free.
I’ll run the audit here on GFY and give you the report to manage as you like.

After that you can make the changes on your own.

NOTE That I will post the results of the scan in this thread.

PLUS That if you are impressed, that I will give You a second, more detailed report with better information, based on Google Search Console. results to help you rank even better. For a fee of course.

You're not going to get this from a 100 a month SEO person which honestly scares the hell out of me because I know that you're likely getting screwed - and since you are not confident in knowledge of what needs to be done - you'll see what a real SEO person should be doing for you in part.

I certainly get low ball offers for website development all the time too. Invariably people are attracted to extremely low price offers and then just deal with the results when it doesn't work out. It's not exclusive to adult, but I do feel like because the industry is smaller and more inclusive, it feels like it's really common. What can you do? I just move on and look forward to the next client who values me. I have met some amazing people in this industry and almost all of my clients end up becoming good friends. The people who value good work and reinvest in their business aren't always the people we hear about, but they are the ones most comfortable in their lives.

Getting low-ball offers can be tricky to deal with.You can take it as an insult, but I’ve realized that most of the time it’s simply because the potential client doesn’t understand the amount of work involved in producing quality results. The bigger the budget, the more detail you can provide, the more consulting you can offer, or the more polish you can put on the final product.

Sometimes the client just has a limited budget, or they “know a guy who knows a guy” who claims he can do the job for next to nothing. In those cases, it’s almost impossible to win the business unless you are a really, really good sales person on top of whatever expertise you offer.

One thing I’ve found that works well for both sides is breaking projects into milestones, with payments tied to each stage. For example, if a project takes five weeks, divide it into five parts and demonstrate progress each week before the payment is due. This not only keeps the client’s confidence but also gives them regular opportunities to request changes or suggest new ideas as the project develops.

I think Rob's offer is a smart idea. Kvns will get the information he needs for free, and Legacy may grab a new client. If it doesn't happen, then at least we all get to learn something new about the SEO process, and Legacy gets another star next to his name.

YouTube says SEO is dead :2 cents:

youtube also said the rapture was happening this week.
seriously - did you figure out the difference yet between mainstream SEO and adult??

No :2 cents:

Both sectors benefit from SEO, but adult requires more creativity and technical expertise to overcome platform restrictions

Mainstream SEO Benefits

Broader reach - You can leverage all major platforms and advertising networks
More link building opportunities - Easier to get quality backlinks from reputable sites
Social media integration - Full access to Facebook, Instagram, Twitter for content promotion
PPC advertising - Google Ads, Facebook Ads with fewer restrictions
Content marketing - Can publish on mainstream platforms like Medium, LinkedIn
Local SEO - Google My Business listings work seamlessly

Adult Industry SEO Challenges & Opportunities

Challenges:

Platform restrictions - Many social media and advertising platforms ban adult content
Payment processor issues - Affects user experience and conversion funnels
Link building difficulties - Mainstream sites won't link to adult content
Content restrictions - Limited guest posting and PR opportunities
Age verification requirements - Can impact site speed and user experience

But also unique advantages:

Less competition for long-tail keywords in some niches
Higher lifetime customer value - Users tend to be very loyal
Direct traffic emphasis - Brand building becomes more critical
Technical SEO focus - Site speed, mobile optimization, and user experience are crucial



Creative content strategies that work within platform limitations
Strong technical SEO since traditional marketing channels are restricted
Community building and direct relationships with users
Alternative traffic sources beyond just Google

Many out there from webmasters to companies have no clue in how to get their message or product to the user/consumer. AI may function to a certain point but is only reactive and never gives the full scope of what's going on in either side of the fence.

SEO needs to be proactive especially in adult since we're up against more in regards to restrictions and hurdles right down to keywords. The skills, experience and knowledge to overcome these walls simply can not be taught on youtube or word of mouth. I've watched videos and they are basic - OR - they're designed to get you to call and use their SEO company and simply uploading a website won't work.

So saying SEO is dead is the furthest from the truth - I've spoken to the most stubborn who face me saying they don't need it but still ask for help - and always there are the areas they've faltered either through bad design, programming or a high opinion of themselves that they need no help. Often for the fun of it I take a situation I'm working on and run it by AI - only to find the answers so basic and lack in the complexity of the problem it's similar to a grade schooler doing a university majors homework.... even to the point that AI is not always up on the latest changes in google in their updates.

AI and most people don't know where to find traffic - or are stuck in 2010 in uploading sites and assuming traffic will find them.

So if you can kindly give me details as to why you feel SEO is dead I'd be happy to hear your points

Thank you for your lengthy explanation. I am well aware of these:

I make the stuff, I do NOT know nothing about SEO. That is why I have reached to you some time ago. Unfortunately we did not make a deal. As to my comments about SEO? I admit it is only what I have seen from other experts. I cannot judge who is an expert. In no case I wanted to insult you or challenge your expertise in any way :2 cents:
