Option to "block unrelated niche" trades?

Post by daveydude »

Would it be possible to have an option in the page management section to block trades from sites in different categories? Or maybe/also to select the categories you want to trade on any given site. So for example if I have a site in the "babes" category I might want to allow trades from "babes", "hardcore", "webcams" and "solo girls" but nothing else. Then my sites will only show up when someone is requesting a link to their site in the relevant niche.

Anyone else?

The hard part about this one is that 80% of traders don't seem to care about niches. I know, it's crazy! So implementing such a system would require a ton of work and it would benefit a small number of people.

One thing that could help this situation is a default comment that goes out to all requested trades... Like a signature that states you only do niche trades.... But this wouldn't apply to people asking you for a trade.

In a dream system we could all vote on what niches are similar. You get 1 vote and by default a vote is already cast for the like niche... meaning babe already gets babe from you, we want to know what else you link babe with. When 30% of the people cast their votes some usable data emerges. Suddenly you can now have the option to be a "strict, moderate or open" trader. And your links would show up as follows:

Strict:
babe -> babe -> solo model

Moderate:
babe -> babe -> solo model -> hardcore -> webcams

Open:
babe -> all niches without any restriction.

Those results would be based on the assumption that for the babe category the voting went something like:

solo model 68%
hardcore 14%
webcams 10%
all others less than 5%

So the cutoff for strict is 35% and moderate is 10%.

Hmm... this type of thing could make LS the Google of link trading!

In my opinion most people do not understand or MISTAKE niches for themes.

Google does NOT know the difference between every niche, but it identifies themes. (see their patents on themes).

To us, a site like http://www.blackteensfucking.com may be a black sister/lesbian niche but to google (and most search engines) they see it as much more.

This would be a relevant link for the following niches in our eyes.

Black Porn, Black Teens, Blacks Fucking, Teens Fucking, Black Teens Fucking.

But using what google calls as 'themes' we can see that this is actually a relevant link for many different 'themes'.

Black Cocks, Black Porn, Black Teens, Blacks Fucking, Teens Fucking, Teen Porn, Teen Lesbians, Teens, Lesbians Fucking, Hardcore Fucking, Hardcore teens, Hardcore Blacks, Black Pussy, Black Tits, Black Booty and basically ANY term that follows the main theme, or sub theme of the niche. So niches (themes) that revolve around that domains main keyterms (black, teen, fucking).

So a site like http://www.blackteensfucking.com although it is specifically niched to ebony teens, we can use any of the 3 main keywords or 'themes' and twist out links like this.

I do this on MOST of my sites, and will get relevant links from EVERY site I can find to my blowjobs (for example) site.

It's easy and VERY effective. Because you COULD NOT tell me that http://www.blackteensfucking.com is not a relevant niche for "Black Blowjobs" or "Teen Blowjobs".

You just have to use your head, and be constructive. But basically, on a large site, you should be able to tie in your theme or niche to almost any other site.
