Creating Adult Verification Service sites

How I create a website and get it up and running

  1. Come up with a new idea. It needs to be different to what’s already on offer.
  2. Come up with a title, and then find the equivalent domain name. Alternately, I just add a directory onto an existing domain name e.g. www.domainname.com/sitename
  3. Find the pictorial content.
  4. Plan the layout of the site. In Front Page I use the Navigation bar to decide how many pages there are and what hierarchy they’re in.
  5. Create the site’s “look”, or design. This may mean choosing a background graphic or deciding on what colours to use. Complimentary colours are always useful. Tables create a professional look.
  6. Create the index page with legal warning
  7. Create the galleries. I usually make 2, with 10 pics in each
  8. Add extra content e.g. jokes, stories if necessary
  9. Create links pages with links to sponsors and free trials
  10. Complete the main page, with links to all galleries and other content
  11. Add sponsors banners/buttons and add text onto all pages
  12. Add sponsor’s URLs to banners and promotional text. Also add URLs to link pages
  13. Create hyperlink menu for bottom of pages, if desired, or sequential hyperlinks
  14. Add metatags to HTML of each page.

OK. So, the site is finished. What next?

  1. Request creation of domain name on host (following DNS transfer from NIC site)
  2. FTP files to the host and then check that all files are up and working on a browser
  3. Submit the site to ICRA and add special ICRA code to the top of each page. Add ICRA label to index page
  4. Trawl around the major search engines and submit the site to each. Alternatively you can use a submission tool, however there is no guarantee that these tools will submit to every SE successfully. Alta Vista currently has a code in place to prevent automatic submissions
  5. Submit the site to dmoz Open Directory
  6. Pick which linklists you want to use, and submit the site to each one. At this point I open a Word document and write down my official site description (25-30 words), my URL, and a list of who I’ve submitted to. That way I don’t have to type the description over and over again, and I know where I’ve been. I also keep Front Page open and Cute FTP, and add the linklist graphic/required link to the index page as I go along. This way I don’t forget where I’ve submitted and I don’t get rejected for not having a button
  7. Submit the site to a counter service, preferably XXX Counter and Sextracker. Alternately you can use the stats provided by your host.
Over the next few weeks I check the traffic and make sure the site isn’t down. About 7 days after submitting the site to linklists I try to go through and check if I’ve been listed. If I haven’t, it’s time to remove the offending button from the index page so it stops chewing up my bandwidth.
