hello all
I am in a good mood and I decided to give away 2 times 5 k traffic, maybe not much but its meant nice and might help a little bit and I like this board even though I dont post too often and no - I am not a traffic broker - lol, nor wanting to become one - just have bought some traffic of which I put 400 K on hold and aint using anyway yet, so thought maybe I might make a few guys happy with some of it All i ask you to do for it is either: give a good tip/advice .. or post something you been through yourself and want to prevent others from making the same mistakes From the replies I will pick two by tomorrow who will get the 5 K each for helping others. I hope this gets some replies have a nice day all michael ps - traffic is bought from adult-site-traffic ( KC, he's a nice guy ) - I buy a lot of him and overall am happy with his services - and no - this is no spam - I bought and paid for the traffic and have some spare thats just waiting to be used. Use it anyway u want to. And I am doing the same on the newbie board, no other boards - so plse either post here and not there as well - lol

Don't prepay designers/coders. I've ordered 5 items this year,
3 of them are still unfinished (working on them since june/july), 1 I was displeased with and it has not been adjusted according to my plan. 1 was delievered on time with satisfying(thanks webinc). [rant] Ooh booh, now if this was some other overpopulated board roaming with designers they'd all pounce me. I'm a designer myself, and I have also been stiffed by customers a lot (since I do not ask for prepayment usually). I do understand all points of views, I just think dishonest people should be taken behind a barn and shot to the back of their head. [/rant] ...actually, I'll like to change my advice: Learn to design and code yourself! hehe

My advice is not to post tips/advice on message boards.....
Seriously, I see loads of people using mouseovers in the wrong way. onmouseover="window.status='http://www.sponsorsite.com/';return true" onmouseout="self.status='';return true" looks real in the status bar because of the trailing slash, whereas... onmouseover="window.status='http://www.sponsorsite.com';return true" onmouseout="self.status='';return true" looks like a mouseover. And if you are looking for a mouseover that can beat the right-click test, then this may help.... onmouseover="window.status='http://www.domain.com/';return true;" onfocus="window.status='http://www.domain.com/';return true;" onmouseout="self.status='' I know it's a subtle thing, but surfers are wise to mouseovers, so anything to make a link look like a normal hyperlink may help to make more sales.

dont do orders for people without being prepaid. I have been fucked more than my share by folks who have sad stories about how they got fucked over by a designer, and in the end it was a ploy to fuck over the new designer and the guy had never been fucked over. The message is: dont deal with shady designers. After a couple years of dealing with people who think this way, I will never do work for non prepaying people ever again, its simply not worth the headache. I am prepaid by big sponsors weekly for design work, and have never had a problem with any of them. |

by prepaid: I mean at least 50%.
I give people the option to pay either 50 or 100% and MANY simply pay me in full. Maybe its my reputation, who knows, but I would never do business with someone who doesnt want to at least go 50% desposit. It all comes down to who you are doing business with, if the person has no reputation or is shady why risk prepaying them then? I used to add things to my schedule without a desposit, ended up working hours and hours in a week for someone and not getting paid. Now, most pay me in full before I even start, and it gets them priority scheduling. Last edited by Fletch XXX at Dec 12 2003, 09:12 AM |

I've lost close to $10k because of orders not being paid. But it's equally, or not even more frustrating to order something, pay and not receive anything... or receive pure shit.
The coders/designers I've ordered from are not 'shady'.. for just some reason they like to delay things or suck donkey balls. I've always laughed at the designer threads on GFY.. where the designers uncles dog passed away and gazillion other excuses, but it sucks when it happens to you.

Advice for newbies...........
avoid anything except pure html until you have your traffic flowing and making some coin for you. You will waste bandwidth because of the extra load. You will waste time learning how to code/debug scripts and databases. time is money. Learn html. Don't depend on generators. Don't ever have code in your pages that you don't understand completely what it does and why. Don't have extra code in your pages, every byte used is another byte of bandwidth and another fraction of a second waiting for the page to load. It all adds up. Don't waste time on fancy ass graphics. Ugly sells. Keep your code simple and easy to read, it will pay off the first time you have to go through and change sponsor links. Practice KISS at every step of the process. Avoid free hosts, get yourself a real domain on a real server that you have some control over. There is no such thing as a freehost, any freehost out there is making money somehow and usually it is from your pocket. There is no such thing as a free lunch.

Diversify, diversify, diverisfy!!
You need MULTIPLE income streams. Don't rely on just one or two sponsors or EVEN TYPES of income streams ( ie- only TGP's, AVs etc) and maybe even more importantly markets (mainstream vs adult). You've got to protect yourself from others AND you need to protect yourself from yourself and this is one MAJOR way you can do it!! It's been said before but it bears repeating-- KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID Don't be afraid to think outside the box! That may seem to contradict the KISS principle but it most certainly does not. Some of the best money making ideas came from a simplefication of a current model. Don't be afraid to take risks and if you do what I described above you can afford to take more of them. Don't be afraid of failure or get discouraged when you do take a risk or start a new project and it doesn't work the way you hoped. You may be able to refine it and even if not you LEARNED something in the process. Use that and move on. |

Nothing better than a GREAT text link to get a click IMHO. YOU CAN learn how to write great text links. You may not ever become great at it but it will GREATLY help to increase your signups. VISIT the sites you promote. There is NOTHING better than a descriptive text that conveys the "feeling and atmoshere" of the site youare promoting. And don't be afraid to be "funky" in your text. Promote "under utilized" niches! Everybody and their brother and mother promote teen, amateur, and other common categories. Look at promoting the sites most others don't promote like preggo, watersports, upskirt, voyeur, foot fetish, gay, and more. |

Dont eat Denver Eggs. They will make your farts strong enough to kill small dogs.
Dont go mud wrasstlin with a pig. Youll just get dirty and the pig will likes it. Don't not show up in small claims court. It will cost you the 5K default judgement. Don't fall prey to social engineering. Don't use a pie pan to stick your 2 meter antenna on. Don't answer the door to anyone bearing cat food. They will have a court summons. Don't go into adult ventures with people steeped in mainstream mentalities. You wont get paid. Don't support the Acadia sellouts. BOYCOTT all companies that have settled with Acadia.
