Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thank you for your response.  A strange thing happened after I made this post.  The rankings for this site dropped dramatically.  Would the link posted in this Q&A affect the site rankings?  There was an SEO person working on this site prior to me and he had a few links from low end article submissions, and social bookmarks.  However most of the inbound links came from relative adult sites.  We were ranked in the top ten for some prominent keywords.  After this post however, all rankings have dropped to the third page or lower, while competitors with worse link profiles were bumped up.  I am really confused as I have got links from the same sites as competitors yet it seems we were punished somehow.

Please help.  Does anyone have any ideas as to why this would happen?

Please note, that I know most of the community here does not work on sites like these.  I am just wondering where a site like Adult Avenue is supposed to gain Authority links and as an industry as a whole.  It appears that most web masters create fake adult star websites to link back to their own.

Has anyone here had experience doing SEO for an Adult DVD website?  A company has approached me and they obviously only want White Hat practices.  I have used open site explorer to do research on some competitors.

The top competitors of this company seem to have only a few high PR links from High Authority industry sites and almost all have a link from the Yahoo Directory.

Does anyone know where or how to create high authority content links from this niche?  It seems that most of the competitor links are on sub par pages and are single links in the side nav of other sites.

I am not sure if I can post a link to the company here but any suggestions on link building for adult sites would be great.  Please remember they are a retailer and don't have pop up advertising or any illegal content.

Thanks,
