I really like the Sabers photo. Kings were great but I don't understand what the owner out ther is doing. He's rich and he lets King
fan favorite and legend Luc Robitaille go as a free agent. Then he doesn't even bid on Jarmir Jagr.
Kings need marquee type players to get Socal into hockey again like they were with Gretzky.
Less than two weeks until the first NFL pre season game! God damn baseball, tennis and golf are poor substitutes for real sports.

Brad guess what? Sodomy is still illegal in many states as well, but guess what? They don't enforce the law!
Kinda like being at a concert and someone smokes a doobie and passes it to you in front of security or a cop....bottom line they say, put it out! No one gets arrested.
I do not want to be in the middle of this any longer and either does Evan, he has strongly told me to keep my opinions to myself, however I care way too much about my friends, my business, and this industry to keep my opinions to myself.
Yes, this is going to get ugly, and yes Evan has the funds to fight this as long as he wants to.
You see, you should have taken note of who Evan is aligned with, and who supports him before you made your incessant pissing about him into LIBEL. That's all Ihave to say, I have a lot of work to do. I don't have time to design Evan T Shirts and make Evan Poems that is for you rich folk I guess.

I agree Mutt, it's gonna be an interesting season, and a more interesting one to see how the Sabres fair w/o Hasek... I was really impressed with how Kings performed during the playoffs...
KB - this thing would have died a long time ago, the C&D popped it back up. Get with the west coast guys... I am more then willing to let this die... it is getting boring, and repetitous.
Maybe you can broke the peace KB and get yourself a Nobel Peace Prize.
Of course I will still make smart ass, snide comments. It is in my nature. I will also call them the way I see them... If your friends have problems with it, they should not do things they are embarassed about, and maybe get a little tougher hide. Do you think Reggie Miller threatened Jordan with a C&D when Jordan talked his trash?
I know you and JoeE keep saying this is about jealousy - well as I see it, I think it is funny. How a few sarcastic comments, some humorous insults have turned into a near lawsuit. I think Evan has over stepped his line, trying to intimidate others and myself...
It is not going to happen, people should know by now I am hardheaded and if someone TELLS me to do something, my first reaction is to do the opposite.
So you talk to Evan, and tell him to let it die down... if he brings this to a court of law he will lose on many levels. I am not one to make threats, right now it is still in a fun, joke stage... the minute I am served it will be war, and it will get ugly.
Make sure Evan speaks to his partner and ask him how powerful Discovery can be. Does he want to go through an anal probing from a team of layers about his personal life?? What about his business?? I doubt anyone wants this to go that far... I know I do not... But I will not hesitate to pull the trigger.
yup. I agree. I've done the survey a
bunch of times, probably a thousand surfers in total. Always comes down
Movies,Live Video,Photos in that order.

hehehee......i get spam everyday from people who sign their name Yours In Christ. Always cracks me up.
Photo, I think the Bills will be ok without the midget at QB. I'm mad at them for alot of things but they will be competitive and possibly make the playoffs. Hard to complain about a team that has been a contender for 15 years.
KB, this is not going to die. You can take that to the bank.
You, and Evan's other cronies should stay out of things, not something you want to get involved in. I have no problem with you, lets not create one. The shit may get very deep and I would hate for bystanders to get caught up in the mistakes Evan Bukake has made. If this continues, I can see supenoas, opening of records to the public, etc. When you bring in lawyers, it is no longer fun and games, I just hope Evan Buakke has DEEP pockets since he is taking on 3-5 people who do.
How could you support someone who sends out a C&D to 3 people stating he does not use illegal drugs, when you know for a FACT he does use illegal drugs. I am not here to argue if pot should be legal or not, the fact is that it is illegal and he smokes it like it is going out of style. Brad ShawSign up right now and say DJ made me do it!

KB, I keep upsells in the member areas to a minumum because it's a recurring program and I want my webmasters to know I'm trying to keep them as long as possible. I worry about getting people to spend too much money and then NOT recurring....the only upsells I use are more like content.
I believe some big boys shave, yeah. PMB does not redirect traffic and won't ever. PMB uses ibill, epoch and ccbill's 3rd party accounts. I have merchant accounts and have had to manage million dollar merchant accounts with my previous set up...it's a PAIN IN THE ASS and is almost a full time job in itself...

Very good. Bill is, was, always really smart. You watch what your members click on.
Rank these three adult products in terms of popularity with PMB customers. Still photo content, downloadable movie content(AVIs,MPEGS), Live content,
streaming movies.

Do you believe the
'Big Boys' shave signups? Does PMB redirect any foreign traffic? Has PMB ever redirected traffic at specific times to protect their merchant accounts as some Big Boys have been caught doing?
Does PMB use IBill's merchant account or its own?

KB in 10 minutes we can express our OPINIONS.... not piss. Ok?
Short term, I would say we're in for more pain. I do see a tendency nowadays to shy away from hardcore freesites which is good. I think as profit margins shrink, the dirty tricks will get used more and more until they pretty much blow things up bad, and then we can dig out and everybody can make money again. The important thing to remember is that the demand for our product is not going anywhere. There is more money being spent on porn this year than ever and it will continue to grow. That money is just going to smaller pieces of the pie for everybody, causing some discomfort levels that we see today...
KB All you are doing is contuning to make this a newsworthy story. If evan would have dropped it, and had his scrotum sucking lackeys stop bringing it up, everyone would move on to a new issue.
No I think you are sadly mistaken Mike...it is your constant insults that are inflaming and continuing this BS... I am so glad that Evan id doing the "right" thing. I wish someone would have slapped peoples wrists a long time ago for their actions and posts of flat out LIBEL.

Depends on the reason for the company shifts, Mike. I think it's a valid concern to try and protect yourself as much as possible against obscenity prosecutions, etc
Reality is that some of these moves will end up biting people in the ass...mark my words. No other comment on that. :)
I am just a small-timer. The big boys pay per signup because they desire different things than I do. I could pay per signup and then I'd have to hire ten people to catch the cheaters, manage 10 times more webmasters, a LOT more accounting, etc...
PMB attracted me because a.) Bill Murray is a goddamn genius, and b.)It is very easy to maintain with little staff. :)
DJ what is your take on the trend by prominate people in this industy creating straw sales for their companies to third parties, then turning around and running the marketing?
I understand the concept is to protect one from the Gov't or creditors - but do you think webmasters should put their faith in people who play these games?
Actually, I prefer webmasters DON'T use YNP because I make less money, but sometimes that's the only way to get the bigdogs into a recurring proggie...LOL

There is a perception by certain people that if you don't have a PPS program that the program isn't "big time" I personally disagree with this and would happily point to PMB as an example. What would you say to those folks?

DJ -
Talking to your members is a BIG help in retentions. I haven't been in the PMB sites for a while.. but I do remember that was one of the cool things about your members areas:-))

State of the industry? Bleh...
Good and bad...it's going to get worse before it gets better. I read an article from Wenchy at http://www.setgo.com today that detailed her difficult experiences getting back to traffic generation. I think that's going to get harder and harder. BUT, I think at some point in the future we will experience a revival of our business and those left standing will be there to claim the goodies..
So DJ, let's say that it's that time of the month, and Bubba's just gotten his welfare check.
Now if Budweisers on sale at the Piggly Wiggly for 3.99 a 12 pack, what do your tours offer that will convince Bubba to skip that 8 box of beer and join your sites instead?
LOL...I think gay webmasters are probably at a significant advantage as they're the only ones that seem to sell gay sites correctly. Anybody can sell a straight site!

The new sites are automatically available in the YNP program (http://www.yournichepaysite.com) we just haven't done any advertising for it or prepared any tools for it's use. YNP is a much smaller program and is designed for high-level webmasters who really don't need much from us other than a paycheck.

Diamond Jim,
How would you convince an established webmaster who has been sending their traffic for a couple of years to sponsors other than PMB that PMB would be a better place to send it? MrsJustforFunMaxCashLive - Hardcore Webmaster Education
Thu, 26 Jul - 16:21:36 12.23.26.27 Post #: 6155
Diamond Jim...
Do you think that gay webmasters are at a distinct disadvantage in this business due to the fact that they are gay or do you think that nobody really cares about ones sexual orientation?
Well, I've already talked to God and we both agreed he was smart enough to realize he created male and females and the whole sex thing and promised he would never hinder me with morals on that subject...
It's a legitimate concern, I suppose. If a webmaster came to me with that fear I'd point at my mortgage and say "Well God ain't paying it for me so I'm pretty much stuck in this biz"
What can you do? You have to trust the sponsor to be around and pay you or you don't.
Good question, Sharky. Depending on the niche, I'd say exclusivity of content and frequency of updates, as well as adding a personality to the site. One of the reasons we've been able to grow retention has been due to talking to our members. We say "Hey, we've got a great update for you today! Sheila sucks Ron's dick and takes a big load on her face...it was REALLY sticky and gooey in real life...let's see what you think"
And crap like that...rather that just a link that has a date next to it...
We do update every day, including weekends, btw...

DJ I think Kimmy Kim makes a good point about explaining the mathmatics of how a webmaster COULD make more money in a Reve Share program.
Also with the collapse of another popular Reve Share program what do you say to webmasters who may be kind or skitish to rely on future income with PornMegaBucks?
"Good recurring programs (IMHO) are for people that are in for the long term, It definitely takes longer to make the money, but you should make at least 20% more per signup with recurring over time..."
--------------------
Can you tell us how you arrive at this figure DJ? Many webmasters perhaps don't understand the math involved when making a choice between a recurring and a per join program...
PMB retention is at an all time high, which I consider pretty damn good considering the state of this industry. When a surfer joins one they get every site we have so there is usally something for everybody if they had any intention on paying for porn at all.
Across the board we are at 45% retention from trial, some higher some lower, and depending on traffic. Some people do much better and some much worse.
Thu, 26 Jul - 16:07:52 172.186.251.71 Post #: 6144
Again, your retention will tend to depend on your traffic. I have people that have been sending to that program since 97 (with Bill) that still have recurring members.
There are currently 25 sites in PMB with a lot more coming. Webmasters get exit console tracking to all sites, and that first and most important console it entirely PMB...no outside links.
My traffic tends to be recylced worn out porn traffic (just being honest). Would you expect it to do poorer on retention than say MikeAI's homegrown traffic? Brad ShawThe best Voyeur on the net
Thu, 26 Jul - 16:08:22 65.65.84.81 Post #: 6141
Brad, as you know retention will depend on what kind of traffic you are sending. I'd love to have every TGP'er in the world sending to me but personally I think they'd make more money (temporarily) with a signup proggie. Good recurring programs (IMHO) are for people that are in for the long term, It definitely takes longer to make the money, but you should make at least 20% more per signup with recurring over time...
With revshare, we know how important retention is.
Without giving away any trade secrets...can you tell us how well the PMB sites retain? I have been in your members areas (of your web sites) and you provide more content than anyone I have ever seen.
DJ, since your program is a partnership program, what retention rates should I expect to see if I send traffic in volume? Brad ShawThe best Voyeur on the net

I just want to say this, This is not about people calling Evan a pot head.
________________
Well in my C&D it explicitly says that Evan Horowitz does not use illegal drugs. So I beleive drugs is an issue.
This is about your friends harassment, ( you remember this started back when Brad and Mike thought they were cute playing foozeball in Ev's booth while he was asleep. Of course they would NEVER have the balls to do it while he was there....Remember his video he shot and posted? I do I have a copy of it :-))
_____________________
Please get your facts straight, I video taped it. I do not play foosball... foosball is for fags! :-)
It is also about "LIBEL" Evan is NOT gay, they KNOW he is not gay yet they maliciously want to destroy him, why?
___________________
How does anyone know who is gay or not?? Evan has a nasaly, whiney, femnine voice. he is very thin, dresses with a certain flair, has a receding hair line... and from San Fransisco.
Of course it is just an insult, just I slammed you KB for being a lame hanger on of your brother.
Joe said it best......JEALOUSY.
________
Jealous of what?? That I do not have a heard of homing gerbils crawling out of my ass?? What does evan have that I want?? The ability to deep throat?
This is not about Guerilla marketing, this is about hurting one's reputation and affecting their business.....I am sure Evan's attorneys' will be able to prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are doing just that.
_____________________
What business reputation?? For Spamming?? for being a front for CEN spamming?? for spamming through AIS?? For being in an unholy allience with Seth and other IEG people?
KB All you are doing is contuning to make this a newsworthy story. If evan would have dropped it, and had his scrotum sucking lackeys stop bringing it up, everyone would move on to a new issue.

Brad I heard from
numerous sources that Mr. Joe Elkind
and CEN does not pay their bills.
At one time, CEN and Joe owed about $30,000 to Netpond
and around $50,000 to YNOT.
Rumor has it the guys from Oprano wanted to Joe and CEN
to prepay due to their poor credit record.
Your NOT funny, your a small time non-marketing(if it was not for your good people you would be no where) PAIN in the ass little overweight BITCH!
I read this on the other board.
How can a person be a "little overweight bitch"?
Anyone know why Joe Elkind does not post on Oprano?
I heard a few rumors and wanted to know if it was true.

So who here's taken the Mature Challenge?
Here's another tip. Anyone here have amateur traffic? :-)))))
Guess what, 97% of all amateur sites focus on teen amateurs. Some surfers want older and more experienced. You might be losing traffic and not know it!
What to do? Slap an Older Amateurs banner on your Am site. You'll be very happily surprised at all the found money!!!

You know Brad I was wondering the same thing about Joe. How he says we all need to ban together... yet for a few weeks he was flying his banners and thus supporting Lee Noga's Fuckedmaster.com
IT seems to me those 2 things are mutually exclusive. To want to band together, then support a site expressly created to slander other people/programs in this business.
