Had it 3 years though and my wife got tired of it.

I think they haven't made any 850's for almost 10 years now,
you should be able to get one for about $15,000, buying one as a 2nd card to just take it for a
spin every now and then is not a bad idea...
Really too old to have as your primary vehicle though I think...

Ahhhh Aston Martin's are one of my favorite vehicles - one I am too poor to afford! :-)
Seriously though, I asked RB one time in a chat if he ever regretted getting into the paysite and program aspect of the biz. Kinda surprised him with the question and if I remember correctly he stated that while he didn't regret it he could understand people who wouldn't want to deal with the MANY headaches that come with it even if the rewards can be quite great.

************************************
You would think so, but back in the day just sitting on the linklist of a good AVS would get you a ton of signups. They must have been getting fresh traffic from somewhere.
Believe me, I don't think AVS is the greatest solution for webmasters. It was a great place to start out and learn and I made a ton of money. I think there are better avenues I could have chosen earlier though.
Also there is a segment of the adult community that want absolutely NOTHING to do with the day to day headaches that come from running your own paysites or partner program.

down the road....

Well Timon and others.. AVS is just an extension of free sites IMHO and you get way more bang for your buck on the return as I do believe AVS sites have just as good if not better recurrings than many paysites AND you get PRE QUALIFIED traffic that you can get even MORE sales to paysites and other stuff too. It can be looked at as the ultimate filter. You get a pre-qualified customer to upsell and they get someone who recurs like crazy cause they get regular updates on sites and of course their upsels they have as well. I've talked to many a webmaster who would take AVS traffic over SE traffic.

You do get recurrings with AVS. The lure of AVs in the old days was free traffic and an easy sale. just putting up the sites and doing absolutely nothing else would get you a fat check. People realized this and flooded the AVSes with crap sites, effectively killing off many of the programs.
There are loads of people making several hundred thousand dollars...even millions annually off AVS. But as has been said earlier the real winners were the AVS owners.

websites to other people...?
Why take a one time fee and give your recurrings to another

AVS just doesn't make sense to me...

The CD idea is not particulairly new. It was tried in one form or another by 2 or 3 CDRom publishers who opened web sites, a few years ago. Pixis comes to mind with their Space Sirens series.
It was not a real winner for them. I don't know if it was too early in the evolution of the web, or lack of appropriate marketing. My guess is that it was a combination of both. I doubt they had a clue about webmaster programs and tried to do it all themselves, from the avenues they were most familiar with, such as magazine advertising.
Thanks Serge, this is just the tip of the iceberg of innovative ideas I'll be revealing over the next few weeks. :) I'm hoping, more than the individual webmaster, that the sponsors will catch on and put some fire and excitement back into the industry, kick it up a notch! :)

there are much more money and it's not in big the biggest,

Find demand, find how to fulfill it with other people efforts and you have it made,

Same applies to TGP owners,

Serge .. I understand your position. Different Strokes for Different Folks. I wrote this in 1999 and something just like it in 1997.
Small change sometimes seems like small change until you automate and find new and much larger scales to work at. On that note, I don't know anything about AVS.
----------------------------------
"Automate redundant tasks. To quote GP, "learn perl .. automate." Anything you are doing over and over again on a daily basis, either program yourself or hire someone else to do it. We have spent 100's of hours in automating tasks but it will save us 10's of thousands of man-hours this year freeing us up to explore new ideas. Our whole strategy so far has been this.
Think .. idea .. expand idea .. automate it .. think .. idea .. expand idea .. automate it.
We feel this is much better than:

I still see Bonds and Notes holding

September/October before a bear

For the shortend of the curve, I see
conolidation at these levels.
Although, I believe that short term
rates will not go much lower (if at
all) and will eventually rise
substantially over the next few
years.
Again, from a cycle perspective, my
work is telling me the turning point
is like to wait until at least
September.

Morning All..
CJ, we met at the FNP dinner, and the Player Hatters ball... I was the English guy there. :)
Serge, there's money in AVS, good money..
Colin, I used to be the biggest webmaster Adult Check had, I made a fair amount.. I sold them all last year though ;) As Serge said though there's only so much you can make being paid 60% and not having access to the raw data. that's why I sold... No matter how much I worked I could seem to work and earn any more.. The real big winners were the owners.
