The Serge story is an old one that will probably bore people with the re-telling but here it is. When I first started in this biz, I ran freesites. Upon the creation of my first site, I was able to do business with the mighty serge because I was a friend of Mojo's. At the time, Serge would rant on the boards about not wanting small timers in his program. Anyway, I get his codes, put them up and send him very very little traffic. After all, my only traffic source at the time was a couple charity links from mojo. This was literally my first two weeks of getting my first free site up. Then we get wind of a webmaster get together that Mark Tierra and possibly Sammi from Sammi's hot bucks was putting together in north jersey. We go, Serge shows up, Mojo introduces me as "big Ron" my board name at the time. Serge looks up and goes,"AAAA, of course I know big ron 12 clicks" making fun of my daily click volume. I then started using it on the boards as "big Ron 12clicks" and then shortened it to 12clicks. On a side note, if someone could ply the people at Ynot with drinks or common sense and get them to post archives of those early board days, it would be a real eye opening education on how this biz got its start. |
I have been waiting for the Story of Big Ron 12 Clicks :thumbsup

I've always enjoyed fine dining, even as a roofer but obviously, more money and travel exposed me to higher and higher levels of decadence. The wine thing just came about because I wanted to be able to handle the public situation of ordering wine properly for my dinner guests. It then lead to me appreciating and collecting. Now I'm just a drunken wino. My cellar is small but has some wines that I love including a cases of 86 margaux, 89 mouton, 96 calon segur magnums. My favorite bottles are most years of Shafer hillside select, especially the '95, most years of Peter Michael Les Pavots, and any well made Cali cab over 15yrs old. |

I almost peed my pants when Serge said that. :) This is fun. I can't wait to hear some of the answers.... |
oh, and since Cory is going to lead with unflattering pics of me, I might as well throw in a few of my own. Its always nice to have people say,"oh, you don't look as bad as your pics"

Who is the other guy in this picture? Real name, nick, business... |
I have seen 12clicks post for years but funny enough I know very little about his businesses and past adult ventures. I'll be looking forwarding to learning more about the "legend" in this interview.
DH |
I have been seeing him post since 2003 but have never talked to him, he seems well liked and respected though....
|
Looking forward to this one too
|
who is this 12clicks character you speak of?
|
I don't read many of these, but this one is a must. I'd have loved to have been around when the Piss Master's were out in full force.
|
This interview is destined to become a classic.
(Some pressure for ya, bro) |
Let's hear it all Ron :)
no pressure!! |
This one should be a good one.
|

Mojo is a great great friend and business partner. Without him, I'd have never gotten involved with the internet so all of you 12clicks haters can blame him for my existance. He's extremely smart (there are very few times when he's not the smartest one in the room), sees the big picture, always sees several steps down the road, great business sense, calm demeanor, or to put it another way, the exact opposite of myself. However, since opposites attract, we've done well together and in our almost 10 yr association, we have never had an argument. He's the one saying, "calm down, it means nothing" when I come into his office saying,"lets kill this mother fucker" He is the ying to my yang, the alligator shoes to my striped shirt, the frilly panties to my short skirt, the.........well, you get the idea. But one thing that seems to have gripped the minds of the trolls I'd like to refute one more time. I'm not his employee:winkwink: how could I be with a desk full of his naked pics? |
I know you're getting a little older and all Ron BUT could you speed it up a LITTLE????? ; )

Why do cheaters always refer to themselves as "affiliates" sending fraudulent traffic or traffic that is not allowed does not make you an affiliate, it makes you a cheater. In the days when we were kings of adult pay per click, we were light years ahead of other programs when it came to fraud. Mojo actually flew to goto.com (now overture.com for you young ones) offices and gave them a talk on how we detected fraud. It was an eye opener for them and one of the reasons we were able to do big business with them. Anyway, you'd have these guys beating programs left and right and along we came with our good looks and higher payouts. ALL the cheaters came over for the high payouts. We identified them and pointed their traffic at an identical looking page but with only PPS sponsors so as not to hurt our buyers. We then just let them run the counter up imagining they were getting paid. We saw it as our duty to clean up the industry since we had the ability. Well, imagine the squealing that went on when these guys were outed as thieves. Here many of them were, pillars of their little online communities, outed for what they really were. I made many many enemies for that and some of them you still see today (all under new names and swearing they never knew me before last week but badmouthing me all the same):winkwink: Then you have people like frank who wanted to collect the highest rates in the industry but didn't want to follow the rules. His argument today is that we changed our rules all the time to create cheaters out of honest webmasters. Its a simple matter to disprove this lie by looking up the programs in the wayback machine and seeing that in the long life of these programs the terms changed maybe, one, twice tops. We never gave less than a month's notice and the notice was always via email AND on the stats page. but you know, the franks of the world are always right. There's so much money to be made chasing honest webmasters out of the system.:1orglaugh |
