Legendary Lars Answers All Your Questions!
 

Or at least all of mine...
Zango included!

Read here.

Meowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I read that.

Thats pretty hot thanks for the interview :)

yeah... Zango is like Google search ads.

there is a difference between people going to Google to look for something and Cams.com bidding on a URL like sleazydream.com to pop a window over Sleazydream.com with cams.com ads to steal surfers from sleazydream.com.

Just because some kid downloaded a screensaver or shitty game WITHOUT PROPER CONSENT (i.e. he is a minor - and all zango content pretty much targets minors) - as they have been fined for already and refused to change their practices, does not make it ok to screw your friends and others.

Too bad the potentially most influential companies in porn, as always, continue to be the most corrupt.

:thumbsup :thumbsup

lawl this thread died mighty fast haha

did it, or just wishful thinking?

:1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Great interview Monty:thumbsup

This is actually the abridged version. We probably could have ran four pages. There were some very interesting stories that had to be cut because of our space constraints. The entire version should be online in a couple days.

Lars is one interesting dude, and despite what all of the haters out there might want you to believe, a good guy.

He was making money online before a lot of people even knew what the www was. A pioneer.

Theres alot of pioneers out there that go overlooked. Maybe because they don't buy ads.

LOL

I just read that part. I love how AVN name drops " Lars and Zango" and than it mentions one little paragraph where Lars tries to compare Zango to adwords...

How many people here think Zango is the same as adwords, or is your buddy Lars the only delusional moron who thinks this way. I wonder if Lars really believes that himself or if it just sounded good to him to say.

Do you guys use zango ?

I judge people by their actions, not by how much money they make or made or have... :2 cents:

great read! thanks for clearing that up lensman!

What the haters want you to believe? More like what Lars has posted himself and admitted to, we just point it out.

Not like we have to make up anything, we just post the facts, and in most cases its quotes from Lars himself.

So what constitutes a " good guy " to you.

if your are best friends with someone for 20 years but he only slept with your wife for 6 months, and all the rest of the times he was a great friend, is he a good guy ?

your neighbor is friends with you for years, but was short on cash so he breaks in and steals $1000 from you. Is he still a good guy ?

Your business partner is nice guy, friendly, good friends, you find out he took 20K out of the business account last month, didn't tell you and wasn't going to tell you. Is he still a good guy ?

Some of you people really have low standards for " good guys ".

but i know this is porn and its cool to like the guys that been around a long time, that buy drinks and are nice " in person".

amen brother :thumbsup

haha...zango and google are similar?

nice.

of course they are... Google prompts little kids to download fun games EXACTLY like zango does .... just like these: http://zango.com

which include mature, adult hits such as "thirsty chimp", "sock matcher" and everybodys favorite, "flower frenzy"

Zango was recently busted for the issue of "consent" being that their content either mostly targets under age kids or that installs are being misrepresented by webmasters.

so... saying that users "consented" to recieve popups when they just got a $3,000,000.00 fine from the FTC for that exact issue is a little rediculous.

but hey... who cares about the truth or actual FACTS from some "hater" who isn't in the Bro Club, isn't running a "top notch program" and probably isn't a "stand up guy"
:1orglaugh :1orglaugh

Yeah I head Google got fined from the FTC too for " $3 Million in Ill-Gotten Gains for Unfair and Deceptive Adware Downloads " :warning :upsidedow

I like your sig btw.

So AVN approves of stealing sales from affiliates, and traffic from the rest of the community.

When a webmaster sent traffic to AFF, AFF would use zango to pop a fullscreen AFF page with their own in-house affiliate code, thereby stealing the sale. Same goes for all their sites, Alt would get a Alt popup with house codes.
All of their main sites were targeted this way, and this makes him a good guy?

Oh, but those were 'adware collisions' and only represented 5% of traffic overall so it's ok with AVN?

Nice stance for AVN to take.

Then to call the people that have a problem with being stolen from 'haters' is amazing.

Just remember something... AVN runs AVNads / Adbrite... which is often the "other" sponsor on so many "questionable copyright or business concept" sites right next to AFF and cams.

Should anyone be surprised that they wrote a nice piece for their "bro"?

Does AFF advertise with AVN? If so, than I think that explains a lot.

How do you determine a good guy?

He is rich and owns a program: +5
He spends money with my company: +10
He throws parties and gives away a lot of stuff: +5
He has been around for years: +3
He is cool: +5
I have meet him once and he was nice to me: +7
He steals from people: -1
He supports content theft: -.5
He laughs at uncool people: +2 ( :1orglaugh )

Total: GREAT GUY!!!

did anyone notice...


the shear fact that he laughs at uncool people brings him into (+) positive status and off sets steal and supporting content theft.

I had nothing but problems with Adbrite, and when they finally got it worked out the traffic was terrible. I personally wont be using them again.

AVN has been spamming my ICQ and other places like crazy, they are getting to be as sad as anything else

What is this new media crap? Why the fuck can't you post an article in text form? If I want to flip pages I will buy a damn book. Your article is just like this script kiddies that make a full Flash site... a waste of time.

Sorry guys... I did not read this article. I will have to wait for the Web 1.0 version.

yeah, I agree....that flash shit is annoying

maybe avn needs to take some advice on how to present their magazine in web form from companies like these:
http://www.time.com/time/magazine
http://www.wired.com/wired/

NONDAGE.com :winkwink:

:1orglaugh I don't think this is what he meant when he said " Discuss". :winkwink:

disgusting display of ass kissing and brown nosing.
