Welcome to our professional forum! Here's a brief overview of the current discussion on the recent changes to the Adult Content Policy by Blogger. This has sparked a rich conversation among our community, focusing on alternatives and strategies moving forward.
- The policy update from Blogger strictly prohibits the monetization of adult content, impacting blogs that display advertisements to adult websites. The enforcement of this policy began on June 30th, 2013.
- Members have shared insights indicating that not all adult content will be targeted by this change, especially personal websites of camgirls that do not heavily feature affiliate banners or advertisements.
- Alternatives being considered include Tumblr, although its recent acquisition by Yahoo has raised concerns about future policy changes there as well.
- There is a consensus on exploring Wordpress with independent hosting as a more stable and control-oriented option for adult content creators. This route offers more security for content and business operations.
- Several members have emphasized the importance of investing in one's own domain and hosting as a means to avoid the uncertainties and restrictions of free platforms, which may change policies or ownership.
- The discussion also touches on the challenges and potential disadvantages of moving to self-hosted platforms, such as the need for SEO, marketing, and overall site management.
- Recent experiences shared by members highlight the immediate impact of these policy changes, with reports of blogs being taken down without prior warning, underscoring the urgency in finding reliable alternatives.
