e[lust] #43 Update

With 38 submissions so far to e[lust] #43 we are off to a fantastic start, so if you haven’t gotten your post in yet you’d better hurry since the submission window will close tomorrow morning! We’d like to thank everyone one who has entered so far, both regular players and first time contributors. Looking at the entries to date it seems the judges will have their work cut out. Don’t forget that we are also looking for photo submissions too (and that form never closes).  We are looking at adding a new category for everyone  to vote on called “Readers Choice” (more on that below)

e[lust] News

In other news we have updated the Advertising Page with our new offerings and pricing, so if you (or anyone else you know) is interested in advertising on e[lust] please do contact us. We are endeavoring to keep ad presence on the front page minimal while offering advertisers the kind of value that is needed with the changes to Google’s search listings.

 Digest Publishing Change?

Since taking over e[lust] we have been debating the method of republication the digest. The plus side of the current method is the fact that your site gets links back from all the sites that participate in that edition of e[lust]. On the down side is the fact that this might be problematic with the recent changes for SEO results. Most search engines don’t like duplicate content and everyone publishing the e[lust] digest repeatedly is duplicating. Therefore we are considering a change to the manner in which participants republish the digests to their blog. Rather than a list of links we would create an Elust badge that  you would be reuse with some minor text changes for each new edition.The rules would remain the same in that you would need to make a new post for each edition, but instead of publishing the list of links that the current format provides, you would publish the badge  The badge will then send your readers to e[lust] where they will find your (and all the other) links. To gauge how people feel, we are inserting a poll into this post to garner your opinion. Please take a moment to express your opinion on the matter by using this poll, commenting, or emailing us.

A Brand New Feature

We are always looking for ways to share news, information and exciting new posts from the blogging community and so we have added a new feature to e[lust] called Sex Bytes. Sex Bytes is a place where you can share links to Articles, News, and Posts of a sexual nature that you think others might have missed. You can also vote for the stories that you find to be the most interesting, funny, or relevant and share those sites with your favourite social networks. If you are a subscriber to e[lust] updates, Sex Bytes has a different subscription so you will need to subscribe  to the Sex Bytes feed to get those updates.

We will be adding the Top Voted Site of the Month from Sexbytes as the Readers Choice to the e[lust] digest (see, I told you I would get to this) so be sure to submit and vote for the link that you think should make it into the e[lust] monthly digest.

We have managed to obtain the services of the fabulous Harper Eliot to be the editor of this exciting new feature and are looking forward to working very closely with her.

Judging

It takes a lot of hard working and dedicated people to make e[lust] run every month, and if you’d like to be one of those people please contact us

We’d like to take this opportunity to thank the judges who are currently reading through all of your wonderful posts to put together the next edition, without these dedicated individuals this couldn’t work at all!.

P.S. I will shortly be sending an email to the judging group on a new feature just for them

Hello everyone! This is just a short update about the future of e[lust] – things will continue on! Molly, whom I’m sure nearly all of you know, is now the new site owner and e[lust] editor. So in case you’ve abstained from participating in e[lust] due to your personal feelings for me (Lilly) then you can now breathe a sigh of relief that a new leader has been named!

This post is my last, official duty for e[lust]. The Twitter account and the Gmail accounts will remain the same and for now the way e[lust] is run will remain the same – just all will be run my Molly instead of me. You can expect submissions to open up on February 1st for a new edition, so keep your eyes open!

This is Lilly, signing off officially. Goodbye all!
