I will take Fluid to task for that. As many know I usually pay my employees by giving them cheeseburgers I steal from my day job at MikeyD's and pass them on to them. Fluid will today receive only the sour pickle slices and two soggy buns.

Dennis Miller said "I always wear two condoms. It's like swinging two bats in the warmup area. When I have sex I take one off, and it feels sooooo goooood."

Besides having negative effect on my business, that post negatively affected my personal life.

I got several e-mails from Ranked Webmistresses and Webmasters with
"2 condoms?! forget it Serge, not with me!" as the subject line.

I won't post tomorrow, and few days later, hoping for the public outcry to subside, but I doubt it will be forgotten.

I am ruined, thanks Dravyk!

Dravyk, what kind of shit is that
http://www.allofem.com/boards.shtml

I asked Fluid SPECIFICALLY
not to violate my copyrights and look what he did:
"Serge tries to copyright information that he already freely released on a public board regarding his wardrobe.... Mitzy wants to know if Serge wearing two condoms is to make his equipment bigger.
"

I wrote the original,
I asked specifically NOT to review it on your board and
YES it IS copyrighted material and IT IS MINE!

My morning dressing code was NOT intended to be discud=ssed beyond Voltar's board,
bringing the subject to your board makes irrepairable damage to my business.

I am devistated and out of breath on this one!

********

Having been (and still am to a degree) an ISP, I can tell you that preventing such a thing a) sounds a shitload easier than it is and b) opens up an enormous can of worms - when you undertake to police the actions of some users, the government has a tendency to make you undertake to police the actions of all. Trust me when I say that there wasn't an ISP on the planet that wouldn't have been happy to make Napster go away back in it's heyday, as the people who most directly paid the costs for it were the ISPs, and they paid dearly in bandwidth.

The webtv code doesn't even use links... it simply redirects all webtv traffic to settopsex.com... numbers vary... but if you're not depending on exit consoles for traffic, you will see between 1-5% of your traffic using a webtv box.

The dialer code is completely different from the webtv deal. We host the dialer banners for you... you get a piece of javascript that detects the surfers's language... then it displays an ad in their native language. Currently xxx-porns is popup free as well and will remain that way for some time.

It's a win-win situation on both products :-)))

YES!

Sometimes my writing doesn't get my point across... or maybe that's a brain problem? ;-)))

The larger programs are doing worse across the board for everybody I know. The result of that is that smaller programs are picking up new webmasters and new revenues :-)

I can turn your tgp traffic from shit into less stinky shit... but certainly not into gold... that's why i'm so supportive of tgp2.

It's an easy formula:

1) Place the javascript code for webtv users. From TGP's I can guarantee no less than 1:500 conversions on SetTopSex.

2) Place a language detecting dialer link (if you really want one i'll get it to you because the auto-generator isn't finished yet) to xxx-porns.com

The preceding is NOT an ad ;-)))

Sorry... i misread a post far below... when i said that smaller programs were doing better than ever, i mean in the sense that many of the webmasters in larger programs are moving to less well known programs in hopes of better conversions and unsaturated sites.

not necessarily that conversions are better for smaller programs... but that they are doing better $$$ wise.

that's all i meant by that ;-))

You've got me all confused Colin ;-)))

OUR overall numbers have been better every month since we've started and SetTopSex still hovers at an average conversion of 1:90 from front page + or - 10 points in any given month....

i'm not sure how other small/medium sized programs are doing.

As far as comparing how our numbers are today to a year ago?

That's easy.

IMHO this is the only way we are gonna get returns on the monies we have put out. I mean hell we as webmasters, webmistres's have paid alot of monies, for bandwidth, images and all other programs.

Ever is a long time .. and it's not even APPROXIMATELY correct. Tell me the truth .. do your ratios get better every month? Are signup ratios on the RISE for small sponsorship programs? What were your numbers a year ago this month compared to this month? Let me see THAT!

If I start an affliate program tomorrow then in two months i will be doing better than $0. That's better.

But your ratios are still worse ..

and this bodes poorly for both big and small.

Also .. my guess .. half of small affiliate programs did worse last month than the month before .. but you will hear selectively from the better ones.

Fact is that the only place it sounds like the declines are happening is with the larger sponsors... smaller programs are doing better than ever from what i hear ;-)))

*******

Vick, that's the way it should be -- industry should take care of itself with the tools at hand, and keep the government out of it. Unfortunately governments seem to have this ugly urge to do things to continue to justify their revenue stream...

But as long as anonymity can be preserved, there's going to be people violating copyright with impunity. And for other reasons, preserving anonymity is a good thing -- it helps all of those benighted parts of the planet get nice capitalist economies, and (with any luck) credit cards that survive the scrub...

also, this is a pretty wierd time... after a couple years or more of stagnation and declining sales everyone is coming out with something new.

or spamming more.

now we will see what kind of organization this business really has.

i do not see a whole lot issues to debate regarding TGP2 since $$$ (and forest)will determine its acceptance, success or failure.

there is not much of an issue with rogues picking up loose TGP traffic if it is already proven to be less profitable.

if it is not proven to be less profitable then TGP2 will fail.

the bottom line is always $

Makes total sense when you point out that most of the current surfer market is lost $$$. But if hit the new surfers WITHOUT the free stuff then they won't know any different and they'll have no choice but to open their wallets.
**********

The new people are the real hope. There are always places for somebody whose been around long enough to find free stuff... Even back in the "good old days" when the free stuff on the web was limited, Usenet was still a thriving market of copyright violations.

Forget "saving" the "educated" users -- the portion of them who actually want more than they can get free (20%? :-) will continue to join the occasional paysite, and will continue to make a few bucks for people who can understand how to sell them. The rest will continue to be parasitic and just contribute to driving up expenses and down bulk bandwidth prices. The real money is in the newbies... Let's get 'em while they're dumb.

" the g'mint does manage to find a way to enforce regulation on the Internet"

Not the answer - Copyright issues and someone (or company) willing to go to court to protect their copyright - See Als Scan VS. Usenet
Will take care of US based P2P sharing

Things that make you go hmmmm... Blankenhorn suggests that you'll never be able to get rid of the napster clones (and by extension, their porn-equivilents) until and unless you convince the market that actually enforcing DCMA is good for them...

Gonna be a long time convincing most people that free porn and free music aren't what they want...

If he's wrong, and the g'mint does manage to find a way to enforce regulation on the Internet, how long until politically unpopular markets (like porn) get squashed?

Neither is a pretty picture... Of course, this presupposes we can curtail our own industry giving away free porn enough that what people exchange themselves will actually make a difference...

Jack, it's like when I travel...
I come into new town, I have no idea where the goodies are, I rent the first hotle I see, just to find later than it wasn't the best, the most convenient and the not good bang for the buck.

NEW surfers are in the same position!!!!!

If we play our cards right,
they'll find Hun 4 months recur membership later....

THIS is our goal,
not just wish Hun to
disappear...

NOTHING will get them to plunge in their wallets.
************************************
I met with Patrick many times and he has a distinct attitude about serving up porn for free and nothing will change it. As long as people can get free uncensored porn, their credit cards will stay in their wallet. If the hun could not get advertiser's, I wonder if he would change his free porn attitude.

Hmmm just took a look at the Pearls board and saw
"" If you look around now, there are way fewer people in both number and percentage that realize the business is about dollars and not about the number of hits to a counter."

Random Musings ....
Think http://www.unrealracing.com has potential for good earnings
Recurring billing model in an untapped market

battletrolls.com could do well also
appeal to similar demographic as on-line porn
There are people who will pay for on-line battletrolls but not on-line porn

Both appeal to an untapped market - with a serious/proven internet presence behind the programs



"making paysite affiliates programs BY INVITATION only is the way of the future"
Been waiting for that for years!
Mainstream has always done it (that is almost reason enough not to)

Will keep the unproductive sites and some fraud out AND
give legitimacy to proggy's and encourage top producers in program and perhaps allow max payout to producers WHILE maintaining comfortable profit levels

Will make/break small webmasters
BUT someone will always appeal to lowest common denominator and accept everyone who applies



"Could the TGP2 concept be applied to link sites in their requirements to be listed?
Can't happen soon enough - Who has the converting traffic (gold) makes the rules, so -


Evolution of industry is accelerating

Jack, I didn't think I have to chew, just hint...

OK, I'll chew and elaborate:

YES, it makes total sense to use the same approach in link listings as TGP2,
give preference to LESS content sites to BIG content sites.

Let's face it,
the people who know where Hun is are LOST $$ for the industry,
NOTHING will get them to plunge in their wallets.

My concern is NEW surfers, the surfers who don't know where the free goodies are.

and that is the largest pool of NEW SALES at the pay sites.

JMHO
