I paid a fricken lot, tried to write a lot of things off but no luck. I wrote them a hefty check. I hated it. But had to do what I had to do.

There is so much money to be made in AVS sales, Buy traffic from reliable sources, search engines, links list. Some work best by trading AVS sites from other AVS Companies. Mix and Match.

L0stMind · 05-02-2005, 11:32 PM

is there still money to be made ?

Tons of it. Don't be fooled by others say there can't
I am proof that there is.
I started this in 96. and it keep getting better and better. Maybe have slowed down a bit, but has not dropped. There is so much potential in this biz.

We are revamping our GAY AVS as we speak. Totalaly new make over, new payouts and top notch content.

naitirps · 05-02-2005, 11:37 PM

does your gay avs's/aen's out perform your regular straight ones? if so by how much percentage wise?

Jakke PNG · 05-02-2005, 11:38 PM

Will you give my (new to web-side of business) employee a place to put her avs's which she will learn to build with 0 knowledge of websites, give her a place to host her moviegalleries that will most likely burn more bandwidth than they earn you, atleast in the beginning?

2HousePlague · 05-02-2005, 11:38 PM

How do you share AVS membership revenues with the participating sites? Is it a straight division of the affiliate cut by the number of participants? Or do you pro-rate or give "weighting", somehow, for other factors?

Oracle Porn · 05-02-2005, 11:40 PM

how to make money in the AVS biz today?
after all the changes made year or so ago I and many other never bothered to check that side of the biz....
is there still any money to be made with avs?
so many AVS programs went down, why so?

ry0t · 05-02-2005, 11:41 PM

Thank you.

Brujah · 05-02-2005, 11:43 PM

pr0 · 05-02-2005, 11:44 PM

Yea for real....are you guys as good as Oneverify was? If so i'll fucking rock some sox

Kimmykim · 05-02-2005, 11:45 PM

Would past litigation you went through have perhaps helped you to find forward thinking ideas and processes that you might not have found otherwise? Did these ideas finally give you an edge over the competition?

Rorschach · 05-02-2005, 11:46 PM

are you the biggest AVS? how does that make you feel?

They don't out performe them, but they are a lot easier to maintain from the customer sevice point of view.

Brujah · 05-02-2005, 11:47 PM

Why has TriTech never ventured into the free AVS market ?

Correct me if I'm behind the times here, but wouldn't payouts and tracking be based on site performance?

We do all of our own processing in house, merchant banks don't allow the free processing. We keep what is safe and legal and that's what keeps us strong.

I have seen some for 3 months, but I also have in our system for over 5 years. So for an average, I would say 8 - 10 months. The gay sites longer.

Oh, I thought someone who worked for Cyberage had worked for Netmore, not in a site making capacity. Who knows, it was a long time ago.

That's one way -- in which case, the answer to my question would be -- "Based on Utilization".

It's one thing to insist a site hold its own in the open marketplace. But I'm just talking about B2B business terms here.

You know, earlier in this thread I had a flashback to a conversation in Phoenix. Now I am thinking that my flashback was dead on.

I seem to recall ending the conversation with, "well, if you can make me millions, I am always open to suggestions." Or something like that.

Haha, nothing too right wing, just simple economics. Of course I still think Ayn Rand has a place in heaven ;)

I just read a really amazing book, The curious incident of the dog in the night-time. British author, exceptionally intriguing writing style, imo.

Also reading a book called Total Loss, about sailboats sunk at sea... I figure as much racing as I'm doing lately, I might as well be prepared lol... especially since a boat sank during the Wednesday night races two weeks ago here in the Marina.
