stopforumspam VB plugin. It stops the biggest idiots, but those who actually know how to use the tools will not be deterred for long. Captcha doesn't work. Targeted questions that legitimate users will know but bots won't are quite effective.

They do call people sometimes. I started a site a few months ago. After two weeks of having Adsense on there, I got an email from Google asking if I wanted to have a conference with one of their representatives on ways to improve my earnings. The email said I had to respond within a set time, a...

To the person following this thread who started a couple of tumblr blogs with the name of a popular pay site in the titles: a) Be careful. You are reblogging pictures that clearly don't come from the site in your name. Posting copyrighted pictures from a site once in awhile is one thing...

Glad things are looking up for you. The only other thing I have right now is stick with it. You just never know when something is going to take off. I noticed this morning that one of my posts was going viral. I didn't remember making the post though. It took me forever to figure out when I...

Interesting on the DeviantArt issue. I don't post anything that comes from there, so I won't worry about that one. But, thanks for the heads up. And, everyone who wants to get into adult should listen to crazyhorsesghost. When I first came on this site, his posts were quite helpful to me. The...

That probably depends what's in your personal collection. If you plan on posting entire sets from some site, then the rights holders getting upset would seem probable. If you are just posting one or two things from a set and you don't remove any watermarks, then you aren't really hurting them...

An embarrassingly long amount of time. The method I shared is not the exact path that I took, of course. Since I figured things out on my own there were hiccups along the way. I've shared the method to go about doing based upon what worked and what didn't for me. To make anything worthwhile it...

Not really other than being patient. When I first started I gave up in frustration and because I had other things to do that were making more immediate money. Just happened to check in a few weeks later and noticed that I had over 100 new followers without posting anything. Even now how many...

You will want to experiment with what ads work best for you. For me, it's small boxes in the sidebar and the occasional text link below a picture. Different niches might have different results. If you can't find a theme with ad placements, you'll just need to code them in yourself. It's not...

Akismet seems to have dialed up the spam detection. On my own sites, anytime someone comments and puts a webpage address in, it gets flagged. Or so it seems lately. If you really are posting relevant comments, your best bet is to contact the site admin and ask him to put you on the allow list.

Something I forgot to add earlier: Click through links. When you post a picture on Tumblr you have the option to include a link to another site. If you do not include a link, then when someone click's on your picture they will be taken to your picture page. If you add the click through link...

I have one for this method. I may or may not have others for other things.

I'm glad some of you are trying this method. It should work for you if you give it enough time to take root. Once it does, it's a fairly easy and passive revenue stream. Since we haven't had any this method sucks posts, I'm going to share an advanced secret that it took me a few months to figure...

You just started. You aren't going to make any money with anything overnight. As for other ways to monetize, there are all kinds of affiliate programs. Check the big adult sites in your niche.
