I'm just old..

Your talking paysite which is a whole diff ballgame but agreed that is the way to go IF you can pull it off, and your sites look good. :thumbsup

Plus you have "within you" your site. It is not a script you are beholding to.

But for free sites (getting bookmarkers aside) a lot of the problem isn't the links, or even graphics in old sites. It is they are designed in 600x800 at best and at this point they are of course full of dead links.

It isn't the site, the links or the images but what your trying to sell.

Problem with old sites (now junked) at wayback is they were selling obsolete junk or they had too much content. :) The sponsors stagnated not the campy site.

At least that is my theory.

Which one?

summer 2001 for me...with PPC, started making real sales in 2002

2007 not really a oldschool

google.com 1999 spamming!
cotac.com 3-4 cents per click raw, first big 15k check at age 15
I may not have liked serge, but he funded my conversion to sending hits completely to sponsors, Thank you :)
I ran paysites before that, and it was a mixmash of leased feeds , , shitty customer service, and a lot of chargebacks.
After recieving that first big check, it was like "fuck running paysites" EVERYTHING TO SPONSORS" and focus on traffic and traffic and only.
Many people became rich from running paysites, I had lots of members but shitty overall service. Getting a $15k check straightout was the best thing , it changed my mindset into, do what you do best. Get traffic. Don't follow what other people do.

On and on and on.

watched the whole adult industry from birth (streaming cam porn voyeurdorm) to death (tubes)


exciting decade
enough money to retire @ age 21

what seemed like a short time
1997-> 2000

Everybody who was in the industry , worked every single minute of the day, those short 3 years, felt like a decade to me, Went through hundreds of programs, ways of getting traffic. When you are in the heat of making money, god damn, time crawls to eternity when you are working every single minute of the day to capture the dream!

I've been peddling smut since 1996 in one shape or the other, I took this on 'seriously' around 2000.

Started in adult working for my dad in 1989 and my first domain was from 1996.
First tgp's, paysites and ecommerce sites were from 1997 and 1998.

Intergal (they still owe me a couple lol), ARS, Dollarmachine, Smutserver, Geocities, Terra.es, etc etc good times.

Many thanks to p-bot and call-kelly for listing my first gallery in '99. Was on a free account somewhere which got killed the next day lol

Hey Rowie :)

I also started with Intergal and ARS. Started with my own ISP account which was blocked within 1 hour:)

Also used geociries, terra.es and zfreehost. It was a freehost with NO ads and NO redirects! (haha)

Think I started in 1999///

Mine:)

I started my first affiliate site in 2000 with webcams from IFriends. I remember choosing my keywords carefully and all of the other optimization techniques of the time and got first page listings on Yahoo and some of the other search engines. It was so easy back then.

Of course whenever you did a search for anything on Yahoo and the others at that time it always came up porn. I guess that paved the way for Google to come in and give people the results that they were looking for.

A friend at work showed my this "internet thing" back in 1999 and surfed on to Green Guys Link-o-rama. After that I was hooked. Can´t believe that site is still around. Exact same design too :helpme
http://www.link-o-rama.com/

Those were the days *sigh*

Bosshawg bought me one of my very first domains back in 2000-2001 I think. I remember using Cliffs tgp submission script back then to submit galleries. ARS was probably my first sponsor

In internet years are we *coots* or *geezers* ?

Staying paste is my trademark. lol!

started in 1996.
first show was 2000, second show was last year.

No shit. :(

If I had only known then what I know now...... :disgust

Started summer of 97 with a paysite of about 50 pics on my ISPs webspace, spammed newsgroups, got a loads of signups (via a standard sendmail form!) but then had no idea what to do with the creditcard numbers :1orglaugh

Made a lot of money with Adultcheck AVS sites then made even more with Deluxepass and Adultbouncer. I remember the thrill of getting a link on Tommys or GreenGuys was immense!

I started in 1996 as an affiliate of Xpics which paid like 18 cents a click or more I forget now cus Im OLD lol. Did reviews for Adult Buffet for a while , made a living sumbitting galleries, worked the top lists and pic post.com, spammed alta vista with tons of search pages and seo script magic, made great money with Xpays (Thanks Evan) and then AVS site building etc etc.. those were the days! I dont even think Blogging was a word back then?

1999 for me, used to love those $10 sales from Sexkey :)

I have started by 1996 with romancenet.zoom.com on my state of the art $2300 IBM Aptiva 66Mhz processor running Windows 3.01. I had the tan satin background and brick red text. I thought it was the shit to be running that fast!

I started playing strip poker on atari 800xL

When I started working for Tom at Blue Gravity it was September of 97
My brother was selling hosting at Web Side Story and I begged him to introduce me to some kids that can make me money.

Little did I know that Tommy was 17 at the time and making porn websites like " Breasts.com" on the side- technically he was putting disclaimers on his site that you had to b 18 or over to view the content on the site and he was UNDERAGE!

lol

Also back then there were only two or three morons in this business, now there are literally thousands!!!

Founded Blue Blood (SpookyCash's parent company) in 1992 as a magazine and it expanded from there. First non-rock glossy mag writing clip I had was for Hustler's Chic circa 1989 or 1990 I think. (I'd have to get into some old boxes to say precisely when.) First site put up for us by a fan was 1994. First site we put together in-house was 1997.

Late October/early November of 1997.

AdultCheck, cams, ce, serge, FreshTeens and others. AdultWatch(avs at the time) screwed me out of 10 or 12k also.

1999 for me, workng for a phone sex company guerilla marketing over AIM. LOL.

I started making money online with one of those programs where you would watch ads to make money. I made a website about it and spammed irc. i had a lot of people to sign up under me. Than, i started to look for other ways to make money online. I end up signing up one of 12clicks programs. Motherfucker never paid me.

My first porn sponsor that cut me a check for over $100 was wegcash. I learned a lot of shit about the business on their webmaster support page. I was making lots of money promoting $1 email subscriptions for join4free. and I never forget the day I made over $1000 in one day at a hun listing in 2000. oh good old days of online porn.

btw, kman how much did you get for rawpussy?

wifey and teasing terry(sp?) rocked.

a whopping 30k lol

i started just yesterday .. optimism is high :)

Validate AVS, Xpics pay per click program.. stuff like that..

early 98 started off posting pictures of my wife sucking my cock on Usenet.


Bought my first domain bikinivoyeur.com later that year and went head first into the membership paysite business.

Site is still up and making sales. :thumbsup

LOL Can you believe I pushed my little brother into the biz when he was just 15 :helpme
