Geblockt?

A new dimension of erectile dysfunction!

Ok I modified that. You are right, it is a common thing to do.

Me too, ground Belliseria. We could be neighbors 🙂

Wait a minute I did not post a link, or are you refering to the signature ? I am not desperate for clicks. I get 80% of my traffic from Google. Forum-Links are a very small portion of traffic for any website. Actually my main busines is not the "prostitution establishment" but publishing adult content and monetize it with affiliate marketing. The actual Escorts website (Yes, it was a website not an establishment) is closed now, due to lack of sufficient revenues. Back to topic: In some countries (i.e Germany) we do actually use the term "model" as a synonym for prostitute, especially when advertising such services. For models, as in wearing pretty cloth and get photographed, there is not really a market in sl. The only media company that uses models I know is Deans Studios (Formerly Chic Studios). They do actually pay the models. But it is really a setup for the boss to get to f*ck girls in or after the casting.

@Rowan she is not looking for a modeling job, but for a "modeling" job. @Opia contact me inworld

Why don't you set up a website for that yourself? There are some awesome wordpress themes for that.

Got a link?

Thats what I just did send out in our groups. In case it doesnt reach everybody here we go: Dear guests, dear members, dear clients and foremost dear staff, As of Monday my sl-online times will be very limited. Possibly weekends only (if that much). That obviously applies to my ALT Candy as well. I decided , due to the current situation in the Ukraine, to dedicate time to refugee shelters in Berlin. I can easily afford to dedicate some time to people that are not as fortunate as myself and I feel I have to do the little I can. The tier for the hotel and the rent for the shops are payed way in advance (three month), so don't worry about that. I will give Anna estate rights to manage things during the week, I am sure she can handle the usual "situations", diplomatic and strong at the time. Same applies to Bran our Project Manager for the Hideaway. Hug you all and wish me luck please. Hope when I come back it's all the same as I left it (or better?) In (really!) urgent cases, please send e-mail to: caroline@takedamedia.com See ya soon. Hopefully. Caroline Takeda

When did skyboxes became a posh thing?

That question can not really be answered. Germany is a compound of different historical roots, cultures, mentalities and dialects. The different Germans are in mentality and lifestil more similar to their respective direct neighbor countries than to people from other parts of Germany. Bavarians are more like Austrians than like people from Northern Germany. Berlin people are closer to the Polish than to Western Germans. The Saarland is heavily influenced by the French. People around the Lake of Constance even speak similar as Swiss people. Cologne People have a lot in common with Dutchies. All of feel German and not.

I learned that many muslim countries do ban websites with explicit adult content.

Mine would not be complete with the "other" animations.

/me rolls eyes Some cookies are technically necessary to run any online shop. We call those "session cookies", which will be deleted after you close the browser. The don't spy on you, they don't harm your computer, the don't eat your kids. How to combat "harmful" technology: Get off the internet. Hide in your basement.

I was a beginner in that stone age of SEO. I didnt know many people in the business back then, other then the locals. Different story today.

Because they typically do not produce content that matches a users intention. There is no reason to rank those well. Lets look at Second Life related blogs as an example. There are hundreds of those so-called fashion blogs. They almost always consist of a few pretty pictures and the credits. What user-intent do they satisfy? What problem are they solving? None! The only thing they satisfy is the bloggers narcism. Hence why should they rank well? On the other end you have blogs like Strawberry's, Nalates and SLA(mine). They do rank well, because they do exactly that: They deliver answers to questions, solve problems of Second Life users or simply are entertaining (the later being a huge user-intent). All the hard work that did go into those is monetized by.... << insert drum roll here >> ...advertising! Thats is how we get paid for solving problems or entertaining people. So should ads be banned? I don't think so, unless people are prepared to pay us to read our stuff. (Spoiler: They are not).

I never argued that backlinks were essential in Google's early days. It was that thing that actually made Google different from all the other search engines. Yes, I was around back then, when all you need to do is stuff the page with keywords and get as many as possible backlinks. Back then (we are talking 2002 ish). It was all about tricking the search engines algo. Remember the little green bar showing PR? Gone! Gone because less relevant.. I was doing it as well, including redirects from expired domains with many links. Doesn't work anymore. Today backlinks are still important, but the concept of Pagerank was widely replaced (or emballished upon) by an "evaluation system" for links (Penguin) and content (Panda). They nowadays evaluate the expertise, authority, and trustworthiness of the content, the author, and the websites linking to that content. You could have millions of links and Google might simply ignore them, but you could also get that one link that turns out to be a game-changer and pushes your rankings almost overnight. In recent years the algorithm evolved towards becoming an AI, able to match content to the user's intention behind the search query. A technology called "Rankbrain". This was one of the biggest moves forward and away from relying on PageRank or keywords. Modern SEO doesn't just optimize for keywords and PageRank. You optimize for user intent and user context. @allothers If you ask 10 SEOs a question, you get 12 opinions.

I can't complain.

Nope Pagerank is NOT the heart of the system anymore. Since years actually. Indexing also does NOT require a link to the site. This is just plain wrong what you say there. Yes links do help to get indexed, but its not a requirement (it never was). You can also get listed by creating an XML sitemap and send that to Google via the Google Search Console. Did I mention I used to work for Google? And I am an SEO/SEA Consultant in RL. I know this stuff very well, I even do train people on that stuff.

Phil, that is very outdated information. Google the following terms to get a bit up to date: Search Intention Rankbrain Hummingbird MUM Search and Entities Sentinetal Search EAT in Google Rankings PANDA technologie The times when Larry's Pagerank was the main criteria for rankings are long gone.

This is exactly how it works. Somebody else here made a very stupid comment: Do you also pay the servers Google, Youtube (which belongs to Google), Facebook (or myself on a small scale) need to produce their services? Do you also pay their employees? Their offices? Their taxes? No you don't. You pay your internet provider to be able to actually access the internet. Mo more no less.

That, is being a jerk. That doesn't surprise me at all.

Yes . I am that sort of b...
