Dig,
and this confirms something what I was saying all along...
the most attracting feature of THIS particular board is NOT the amount of hits the button gets!
but rather the PEOPLE one meets thru those buttons!
now I see how LikeWhoa crew can afford the BANNER here-
your contact alone probably paid for it for a year
;-))
you are not a sponsor here and neither is Hooper, but you are a contributor
and provide value to this board
in Wars and Peace.
now it's a Peace time,
but I know for a fact, that when the war times come-
we'll burn each other into the ashes and come out of it as Phoenexes, alive and well and even better!

We had a Hurricane here earlier in the year. Knocked out the power and the internet connection for 24 hours.
When I was a kid and had a question about the world, I had to go to the library to try to figure out the answer. I became very good friends with the librarian who knew quite a but about the world and helped me find answers. Of course, local public libraries tend to be very limited and one might have to wait for a few weeks for them to get a book transferred there. How frustrating. Now, hardly anything is not available within a few minutes.
Imagine what it was like before the printing press. We should revere the geniuses of old who accumulated significant knowledge of the world under such conditions.

Reports from an Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft indicate that maximum sustained winds have
increased to near 130 mph...210 km/hr...with higher gusts. This makes Michelle a strong category 3 hurricane on the Saffir-Simpson hurricane scale. Some additional strengthening is likely during the next 24 hours...and Michelle could become a category 4 hurricane later today.

Being in the wrong place at the wrong time during the wrong storm ...
Just a little old weak category 1 earlier in the year uprooted a tree in my back yard.
You were in Hurricane Lenny? That was a monster. Anniversary approaching.

do you recall the day Justreadin came out of the closet?
he blamed Dave Marshalack for all his "tsores" in life...
I spoke with who called the story JR presented as false and being as far off the mark as only Mark can be
(according to Hooper ;-)
I glad I went beyond the post and got the REAL story,
it's amazing how reality can get transformed by certain people,

serge, that makes me not want to spend $$ (of generals money!!) on each of those wonderful (sexhit - $70 per FREE signup - intergal $100 per active member!!) buttons we have up there!!
and as for the http://www.purvebucks.com advertising we do with oprano - i advertise with you because you made it realistic and because you actually discuss the end results with your advertisers. I like that you use all of your (board, o plus etc) avenues to support the sponsors on either site. THIS makes for valuable advertising.
But I gotta say, you were a total asshole to richC and sandra - I suspect it was to lure RB into discussion (that discussion WAS an issue between you and RB as the owner of the program) - but richC and sandra are both good people - and were both doing their job. You got mean :-(
Bottom line however is that advertising up the top is only half of the package - the board counts too ... advertisers do deserve to be given that consideration.

Todd, I have my faith in him as well....
I never forget the movie "Wall Street"
remember the scene when guy comes to the office, just before he gets arrested by FBI for SEC violations,
and the old broker takes him on the side and tells him:
"When man stairs into abyss-
abyss is starring back at him,
and THAT is the moment which shows what man is made of"
I have my faith in the guy,
and HOPE that he'll be back in the saddle eventually.
Yesterday I saw the positive signs of recovery,
the paranoia that FM and the world is out to get him is gone now.

i didn't read that part clearly in your first post :-)
point taken :-)
cj (vaginator)
**********************
cj,
what upsets me the most in the whole RB thing,
not the fact that sales slipped,
not the way that it took him long to recover emotionally from the debacle,
but the fact that he puts down EVERY SPONSOR out here with his attitude that this board ain't worth his hard earned $2000 a month,
that makes everybody else kinda stupid, ain't it?
I know for a fact that you put your own money to advertise on OpranoPlus,
not General's money,
who have them more than my calculator has zeroes,
and knowing you,
YOU WOULDN'T PISS YOUR MONEY ON GRANDPA SERGE,
if you didn't get your money's worth,
"brander" you are not

while I don't agree thought that the king is totally naked, it would be nice to see some new clothes on him..
*****************
Todd,
I agree whole heartedly,
the king is far from nekkid,
I'm sure RB is still belongs to top 500 pay sites out there,
but he and his proggy DID change.
who would blame him????
it all happened about a year ago,
one day he goes to World Serious, comes home, and has all his assets frozen and the entire business threatened with extinction???
I wouldn't wanna wish ANYONE this mind boggling experience, which leaves scars that last for a VERY long time...

Thanks !
I got a really great response from the YNOT model of the week..
actually I am putting my girlfirend (who models for me) up for it this week!
Most of the new clients I get is thru word of mouth.
When i first started I had NO idea how to sell content (although I do have a national ward for marketing - but the net is way different)
So I just sat there for about 3 weeks nonstop on spam boards and discovered i was getting nowhere fast.
Anyway as i started becoming a bit more involved with other ppl, they just started sending new clients to me.
Now almost all my biz is from word of mouth, and most keep comign back for new stuff
I get a lot of webmasters looking for custom content, and i love doing that stuff - anything that is new or different.
"So, it's not the traffic which has changed - it's a program."
This is very true! I do ok with ARS and can't complain...one of the last big ones I CAN'T complain about.
With all the other PPS proggies, it's a matter of sending traffic until the shave kicks in and moving it. Thank goodness for SSI and being able to redirect my traffic in a matter of minutes..funny how conversions start at less than 1:300 to blow up over 1:3000 in less than a month.
(something for the gillette pro's to think about) ;-)

serge, why don't you start ars day again then? I'll start ...
what are the main new features of ars generation 3? The avs looks awesome!! and the flash 'tour' of the proggie is very comprehensive ...
Sat, 03 Nov - 04:30:39 172.139.29.103 Post #: 28635
Well I think that if you have good content and keep a good head on you that you can do well with with it.
For anyone who doesn't know I started out as a model, and the
guy who had sexcontents asked me if i wanted to take it over when i moved in with him, and it was really dead, not much new for months and no sales for a long time..
So i put a lot of work into it and it's really paying off.
I suppose it's like anything you do - the more you put in the more you get out.
My partner didn't care about it much when he ran it - he is more focused on sites, and I think a lot of other providers are the same way...they produce their own content mainly for their own use.
I've done three years of photography so I want to start pumping out some REALLY great stuff.
I love doing really bizzare pics and fetish/fantasy
..
I think you have to be creative and inventive enough to come up with 'new' ideas and keep your content 'fresh'
Who will benift? Serge, Rb, or mabey Ars? :)
*************************
Todd,
I am not benefitting....
Oprano's board whose main mission is to help it's sponsors and webmasters
is cluttered with blah-blah-blah and sposnsors have hard time getting thru with
their announcements,
like ARS had few days ago, due to
sabateurs who were trying to plug their "same old" proggies and bury the success of new ones...
RB is a definate beneficiary....
his blah-blah takes away from
the obvious that
"The King is Naked" and
once mighty kick ass converter is not there anymore
ARS will ALWAYS benefit, unless they stop innovating and get into the "Safety Mode"

Glad to see the surgical strikes have mellowed out now..
took me a few minutes to read what you and rb were going back and forth with.
I give it a 5-6 out of ten on this piss scale. Not a hard piss, few jabs here and there, but nothing like the old days of "War", but wait, mabey the tactics of war have changed?? Who will benift? Serge, Rb, or mabey Ars? :)

there is definately
something VERY wrong with their program. I made a ton of money sending hits
to maxcash but it doesn't convert anymore.
******************************
I know that....I took my links to him back in March.
I used to make few grands a month
from cotac.com, but seeing my numbers go into a hundreds,
promted me to switch
to
ARS,
ExtremeGreen,
SoftwareBucks
AmateurPages
and few others and now I am back to 1100-1200 a month.
Cotac.com gets steady traffic of 5000 hits a day for the last 2 years.
So, it's not the traffic which has changed - it's a program.
I guess NOTHING lasts forever...
