Patience my lad, that is coming up.


Well, I don't know about "common" but I know there are a few bikers out there among us. One of my affiliates owns Bike-WeekDaytona.com anf put up that page of some of my old pics.

I never stuck around to find out. So far no charges have been filed, so that is good enough for me. :thumbsup

Yes . . . got it for Internext

You can kind of see it here

Well, hopefully I have set myself up well enough that I wouldn't have to, but if push came to shove, I would probably do it.

Having worked at McDonald's in high school I got plenty of experience and should not have a problem getting a managerial position . . . like night mananger or something.

I look back at those days with some fondness, especially since we were company store #13, and we lived up to the reputation. Everyone was a bunch of stoners. :1orglaugh

Bad dog in the house...

I have the privilege and the honour of knowing baddog and I am very much looking forward to seeing him in Phoenix.

He is an awesome contributor with his blog: baddog's bytes

White Cheech Keepin It Real

Baddog is one of the greatest guys around, a very dedicated person who is never afraid to speak his mind, which I adore!

We made up, and she invited me to stay with her during Phoenix Forum, so it's all good. :thumbsup

You have more Player Cards then me.

Playa! :pimp

Great interview, Baddog is definetly one of people i respect advice from around here.

Hell yeah. You can't consider yourself a cunninglinguist unless you have earned your red wings. When my beard was redder (less gray) that is what I attributed it to.

YEAHHHH!!!! BADDOG!!!! :thumbsup

I should mention, that everyone should go sign up and promote MartinaWarren.com

Another program I suggest promoting. One of the hottest, relatively new solo girl sites out there is ArikaAmes.com

Besides an endearing smile, and tight little body to attract the surfers, she offers plenty of promotional tools to help make those easy conversions.

Baddog ( Lloyd ) is a great guy...straight forward and a good friend !

bad ass interview :thumbsup

I always expected baddog to have a deep, raspy biker voice. Then I met him. I was quite surprised. Yes, it's true, I'm a stooge!

This was probably one of my favorite jobs of all time. Anyone that knows me knows that I love to debate, and when the results of the debate can end in rewards of tens of thousands of dollars, so much the better.

I just got back from a ride on my bike, and I was thinking about this question. I don't know if this was the most interesting case I ever worked on, but it was one that I was most proud of.

I worked for a Beverly Hills law firm, and most of the time I was negotiating with insurance companies. This one particular case I was dealing with a claims adjuster for an out of state insurance company.

There are procedures that must be followed in a lawsuit, and one of them is that you must make a good faith effort to settle the issue without having to go to court. That is where I came in. Insurance adjusters had to deal with me, and only as a last resort would they ever got to talk to my boss, and that would be after we had actually filed and served the summons of the defendant.

This particular adjuster did not want to deal with me, her position being that I was not an attorney, and she would only deal with attorneys.

Being very good at what I do, I knew the Code of Civil Procedure and Civil Code inside and out, and tried my best to get it through her thick skull that by California law she was obligated to try and settle this without going to court, and the only way she was going to talk to an attorney was in a courtroom. She just didn't get it. So I filed a complaint with the Calif Dept of Insurance.

She ended up turning the case over to one of the top insurance defense firms in the state. The head of the firm personally took on the case, and filed his own 8 page complaint against me, at which time he described me as "an intellectual terrorist." It was the highest compliment anyone had ever paid me. :)

The year was 1996. I had left the law firm so that I could file a malpractice claim against my employer (I won), and I was seeking new employment.

Finding another law firm that would take on a biker as their paralegal was not easy, so I was doing side jobs for friends and even for State Farm Insurance (since I could do things they couldn't by law).

I had my 2400 baud modem, AOL, and some basic Internet knowledge. I was trying to figure out a way to make money using my computer, when one day I happened to read some AOL spam telling me I could make millions selling porn on the Internet for a simple $50 investment.

Times were tight, so my then girlfriend gave me $50 and I responded. The company was Elecnet Internet Services (EIS), and essentially he was giving free hosting, free content, and a sub-sub-sub-domain. He would keep 50% of whatever you made.

Back then, everyone had a paysite, and everyone's site had a "friends" page where they would have recip links to every other paysite out there. The first task you would do is to approach the owners of these other established sites and ask if you could trade links. If they agreed (most did) you would get the linking info, and then send it into the owner of EIS, and he would put the links up for you since no one had FTP access.

I went out and did as instructed, however, it soon got to the point that he was not putting these recips up in a timely manner and I was getting concerned that perhaps I was doing something wrong. So I made numerous attempts to contact EIS, and eventually asked for a phone number so I could call and talk to him. He responded by calling me.

After a few minutes of talking to him I knew that he had more work than he could handle on his own, and I saw the job opening I had been seeking.

I suggested that perhaps he should let me do the grunt work, and I would let him set the price. If it turned out that it wasn't worth it to me, or if he wasn't satisfied with my production we could part ways with no hurt feelings. He decided that he would rather give me some incentive and gave me 10% of the company. I soon took over as the affiliate manager, even though there really wasn't really a title like that back then.

The rest is history.

The aforementioned Elecnet Internet Services eventually became Mogul Networks. I worked there for 6 years, becoming the Adult Entertainment Manager as the corporation had an adult and mainstream side.

I was the frontman for everything adult related, the most popular being SiteMogul, ContentLotto and AdultLogin AVS.

When I left Mogul Networks in March, 2003 I was pretty much at a loss as to what I was going to do in adult, if anything at all. I had developed a friendship with goodgirl, and she had opened Sex Pictures Pass AVS about 6 months earlier.

When she heard that I had left Mogul she immediately presented me with a very generous offer to take a majority share of SPP-Productions, Inc. making me CEO and president.

At the time SPP was a revshare AVS, that only charged the surfer $10 a month, with a $5 payout to the affiliates. There were only about 25 affiliates and 200-300 sites in the system, so I wasn't really sure if this was something I wanted to get into. We had an AVS when I was at Mogul, but its results were kind of so-so. While I was deciding whether or not to accept the offer, they got a signup.

I took it as a sign. If this little AVS could get signups with so few affiliates and sites, maybe I could do something with it, so I agreed to the offer, and completely restructured the business model.

I had made many contacts while working with Mogul, one of them being with the good people at FlyntDigital. After a brief discussion with them, and Gary Kremen at Sex.com I knew I could make it work.

We went from revshare to PPS, increased the payouts to a sliding scale of $20-30 each, added a $5 webmaster referral program, and offered incentives to SPP affiliates.

We now have close to 900 affiliates, and 7,000 sites in the system, and are preparing to open two new AVS's.

cool shit baddog! :thumbsup

Nice questions Sleazy :pimp

When I left Mogul I was approached by several programs to work in their sales or affiliate divisions. To be honest, this did not have any appeal to me. No one was offering a salary, just commissions, and I did not feel like I wanted to get into that type of situation.

It was then suggested that perhaps I should open a company where I could work for several clients at once, and PimpsPromo was born.

PimpsPromo started off as an ad brokerage, where I set up a database of clients that owned resource sites, TGP's, webmaster boards, or whatever. People that don't have marketing managers or just wanted someone extra out there to help them sell ad space are my clients. I have clients that target both webmasters and surfers. My clients include Shemp.com and Sex.com. I provide a place where people looking to purchase advertising can go and get the rate cards for dozens of sites at one location, rather than having to hunt them down individually. All costs are covered by the seller, so it is a matter of convenience for the buyer.

Eventually I started taking on clients that had websites or domains for sale. If you have a product to sell, I can probably help you.

Great interview Sleazy :thumbsup look forward to seeing You again in Phoenix
