News Tips Trix

SexSwap is part of Gamma Entertainment
http://www.gammacash.com/frameindex.php3

This is the almost weekly SexSwap News-Tips-Trix and it goes to all members of
SexSwap and SexSwap2 and AsianSwap and GaySexSwap and SexSwap2000 Banner
Exchanges. It contains information on SexSwap, Porn, Tips'n'Trix, and software
reviews for the adult webmaster. I perform all literary stunts without the use of
nets, safety-cables, spell checkers, or grammar fixers, and this tends to leave
the reader in a state of bewilderment...you will get used to it.

I gotta stop these Tuesday night issues of sexswap news! hee hee haa. Here I am once again lapping myself. Tomorrow I go under the knife for yet another fun operation. Nothing big...the infamous "scope up the dink otomy" as I like to call it. They are looking up into my kidneys for burried tresure and I believe I will be given the gas around 2:30pm and have to be there at 11am so the whole day will be shot and I imagine I will be a vegetable on returning home :) Hence the need to blast out the letter early since I love things early as opposed to late.

This week there are more comments and ideas on the world of TGPs that I think we will all find interesting, especially from the Ninja Master "SleazyDreams" who gets 400k a day in traffic using his patented techniques.. Several folks wrote in with more chat clients for unix and one is a trick programmed beauty in mysql and php!

Want some great internet news? Remember my prediction last week that this Christmas shopping season will be HUGE online. Richard just sent me that latest news for September shopping stats....it was record breaking. $4.7 billion. This is more than last september and MORE people bought online in september than did during last christams season. This internet shopping snowball is starting to pick up speed. The news media will soon be forced to write the success stories of the internet once again since the numbers cannot be ignored!
http://www.ecommercetimes.com/perl/story/14179.html

And I wrap up my testing with goto and google where I tried to sell some cells and didn't have much luck staying out of the red in, but learnt a lot. Stats and comments on the experience below.

on with the show...

COMMENTS ON TRAFFIC, TGPS, AND FUTURE from Rick
Rick writes:
I would just like to repond to the coments below.(referring to story from last week on "breaking into porn")
I have in this biz for almost 5 years. I clearly remember having a ball making one free site per week and watching the Xpics dollars simply roll in. It WAS a money machine back in those days and I continually ask myself why I wasn't making 10 sites per day back then but, oh well, who was to know.

I found this response to be so damn accurate its NOT funny. These days I make a TGP, a free site, an AVS site and a search engine site per day, every freakin day. And I can't see it getting any easier in the future. I would like to know if we need to see a major change in the industry to make some cash a few years from now. Every mother and their dog is out there making TGPs and Movieposts and getting submissions thanks to submission software. All it takes for a "good" credit card holding surfer to come across on of these free daily porn suppliers and they'll never pay for it again. But how to cut down on TGPs? Do the TGP owners make money???????

thanks for the great comments Rick. If anyone else has thoughts on this subject...please email me andy@lips.com

YAHOO STRUGGLES AS ADS EVAPORATE from PoshSpice
http://www.msnbc.com/news/640475.asp
Poshspice says it like it is and writes:
I think it's pathetic that Yahoo is suffering.. did you know that they deleted the main directory pages for the ADult clubs to make them harder to find? They were being criticized, but by doing that, they are losing money.. And the worst part is that they've started with popups!!!! A sure sign of desperation.. I think that Microsoft will buy them in the end.. One day, Microcrap will own every major website. they had it too easy.. now its time to pay the piper..

GET SOME REAL NEEDS TASTE OF OWN MEDICINE from Andy
Andy writes:
I think we can all agree that
http://www.getsomereal.com
isn't going to do much to porn. But we porn guys and gals should still submit fake porn sites for them to try to spam the search engines with then redirect those hits to real porn sites. See how many sales these anti-porn morons can help bring to porn. hehe

SOME GAMMA NEWS
Check it out
http://www.gammacash.com/promo/email/gammacash_letter3.html
We just added the ability to accept PayPal on all of our sites to allow even more ways of signing people up which tends to help signup ratios. I asked King Karl what he thought the percent of PayPal signups were averaging and he said around 5%. I think that is pretty slick since PayPal is so easy to use and efficient. There are also new stats pages that look terrific and are easy to use. I like them a lot. The sites have also been redesigned with a new innovative method that shows surfers the actual latest content pics that were added to the site in the last few days so he knows the site is fresh and ever changing. Again, this is always to try and increase sign-up ratios. Check it out and see what you think

UNIX LINUX SAMBA FTP AND TELNET from Scott
Scott writes
With all the talk in you newsletters about UNIX and Linux i decided to install it and setup up a small Wildenstein and apache server. I was wondering though, if you know of anyway other than using Samba to access files on my Linux machine via windows other than telnet and FTP as i have just spent 12 hours straight trying to access shares on my windows 2000 machine but i think there is a bug as loads of people are asking same questions.

Guru-O-Gif writes
well samba, ftp and telnet are the ways I do it. I have never really fiddled with samba too much so I mainly use FTP. what are shares? shared files? Are you trying to access on your windows box or access on your unix box? I am not sure how to set it up in windows. in linux/unix...I first create a user...the root user is not allowed to telnet or ftp for security reasons....so I think it is adduser or useradd ...one of them asks more questions...you want that one...make the person part of the 'wheel' group (I am not sure why but people always tell me this. If the box is working an on the net....then your ftp most likely is running by default...try ftping in with that new user...you should end up in something like /home/theuser. If you are having trouble getting a file or into a folder...try chmod 777 on it...but change it back since this is a security hole....I do this just to see if I have persmissions wrong.

Hope some of this helps and that I have not babbled too much info. To recap
1. make a new user other than root
2. try ftping in with that user
3. if you can't get a file, try temporarily relaxing the permissions to 777
4. a great place for help are usenet groups...try a post in a linux or unix group for the distribution you loaded.

Do any readers have additional info to add to this topic since I do not know samba and am not exactly clear on the question. If you want to add your comments, please email andy@lips.com

ICS LINUX SECRETS from mrxtc
mrxt writes:
you can use coyotelinux. it is linux that runs on a floppy and makes an 486 into a router, and you can configure your firewall too. much more flexible than ICS or even those dlink routers

CHAT CLIENTS FOR UNIX LINUX from Delay
Delay writes:
One of your users was asking about chat clients .. Jabber might be a good free option
http://www.jabber.org
This one seems to be the most popular open source solution right now. It is basically an open source IM and server but also could be used as a basic website chatroom. However the scalability would be much better than a traditional chat room. I believe they have versions to run on almost any type of server.

PRO-LEVEL CHAT CLIENT IN MYSQL + PHP from Martin
Martin writes:
I was looking for a chat solution a few months ago but only found huge IRC clones with slow Java clients. I wanted to have a chat that does not need Java applets for the client nor uses <meta refresh> tag at the client side AND does not eat 80% of my box resources (as most Java chat servers do). The only solution was to custom-write one, that will run on Linux or *nix or BSD...Here's the result:

http://chat.10.sk
fast, no applets, next to no server load...This URL is just a test site, full chat applications uses PHP scripts + MySQL to allow user/message tracking, posting of smileys/sounds, etc. If anyone is interested, this chat daemon (running on the server) + scripts for an example chat site will be for sale for $150. Contact me at chat-trix*10.sk

I wanted to demonstrate the coolness of this chat so I set up the whole thing with 3 chatrooms, sounds, smileys, private messages, ...the blue bar at the bottom of IE seems to constatnly be slowly loading...is it takes this long for IE to post that message; it is now solved by JavaScript. It was only a demo :)

BLACK NINJA PRO-LEVEL TGP SECRETS from SleazyDream
SleazyDream writes
read your sexswap newsletter today. Re: TGP guy with 400K. Sounds like me (hehe) I have about 400K uniques (according to sextracker page ranks on sleazydream now)- , but just for your info there's a lot more coin in TGP then this newbie TGPer seems to think. but like anything it takes time and there is a LARGE learning curve. There are termenous financial risks too with bandwidth and content costs these days so like anything you have to know what you are doing.
http://www.sleazydream.com/vegas/vegas.html
I don't think most evey guest on the above list would have rented rooms at the venietian for the vegas confrence if we weren't making good money though. ;) Personally I could never make a dime off search engine stuff... TGP just seemed to work for me

PROTECT MAIL SERVER FROM SPAM LOOPHOLE from Hollis
Hollis writes
To protect your own mail server from "From:" field and "Return-path" field bounce attacks", make sure to set up the LUSER_RELAY definition (in Sendmail, others have equivalents as well). You can direct all unknown mail to an account, or send it to /dev/null, whatever you want. Remember, the above only works if the mail server bounces unknown mail recipients.
http://www.sunmanagers.org/pipermail/summaries/2001-March/000324.html
Basically it opens a can of worms for system administrators. If you elect to bounce all unknown recipients, you are now open to this type of attack. If you don't, and send them into a black hole, the people sending honest mail to wrong addresses by mistake never know it didn't get to where it was supposed to. As mail programs such as Sendmail get more sophistcated in closing the open relay problems of the past, I suspect we will start to see more of this type of attack. Might be good to get some feedback from the Swap members on how to handle this.

FREE TGP CONTENT from Guru-O-Gif
with all this TGP talk lately, I wondered where webmasters get all their content. To post often could cost a lot. I have my dusty old "Busty Babe" CDs from 1920 that I have the rights to, but other than that, I can see how it would be tricky to stay with fresh content. Then I discovered something that was easy, and in my own backyard. Can you smell a plug? Yep! Gamma offers FREE content to webmasters that send that traffic to our affiliate program. Check this out.

INTERESTING SITES
/******************************************
TGP LIST PAGE
this is not really a site but an interesting page I have bookmarked. A couple weeks back I wrote about some software that several of the big TGP guys use in conjunction with some TGP posting software. Let me plug this software since I am talking about their pages. TGSW is a TGP poster software
http://www.worldadult.com/tgsw/
TGSWUPDATES is a database service that keeps track of hundreds of TGPs to use with that software
http://www.tgswupdates.com/main.shtml
and on their site, they have a great page listing all TGP galleries! I love it. Great for surfing for porn for fun or a useful tool for a newbie trying to find a lot of TGPs to post to. Check it out

CELL PHONE FINAL RESULTS
Well when all is said and done, I spent $40 with GOTO and $100 with GOOGLE and made $80. So I am in the red $60 on the experiment. I found that I got tons of applications but almost all of them were denied so I was getting weak applicants. I was generally between 5 cents and 9 cents on words. Let me see if I can find some stats.

THOUGHTS ON TESTING

GOOGLE PROS
1. instant set up. You can be advertising in minutes
2. instant changes. adjust your account right now
3. easy to read and use charts with relevant data

GOOGLE CONS
1. the price is just too high. at 12 cents a click, it is impossible to make any money with most products.

GOTO PROS
1. price is fair. It would be more fair if they still allowed 1 cent.
2. you can write bigger ads
3. goto users seem to be better consumers than google

GOTO CONS
1. account set up takes 3-5 days
2. account changes take 2-3 days
3. they are getting tougher and tougher on word choices
4. you have to choose a lot of words to get traffic
5. stupid minimum $20 a month rule even if you are not interested in running an account

I will continue to test both sites in the future. I prefer google but the fact of the matter is that their pricing is impossible. They would get my ad dollar if they lowered prices. GOTO seems to be nickle and diming people to death these days. I hope this stops. GOTO has price going for them which is tough to beat. I find their account maintenance code to be a pain.

My quest to find a mainstream promotional product continues to elude me :)

MCMASTER ENGINE COMMENTS from Club Tgp

Hiya Andy, some feedback on the Rotary engine article... Mazda has been making rotary engines before I was even born (1979) up until 1993 with the RX-7 rotary and if you ever peeped under the hood you'd see about 3 moving parts and about 1000 rubber bands! No I dont' have one I have an RX-7, i'm a miata dude but still this should be pointed out.

Also, I read that this McMaster engine is powered by Ammonia (non-harmful) and Nitrous oxide (harmful) which can be very explosive if kept in heat for a long time. I used to run nitrous in my volkswagen and its good for a healthy 50hp shot at the push of a button but its very damaging for engines long term use.

yes, I remember the mazda rotary engine well. When I was buying a honda prelude, way back in 1985, I remember Road and Track tested the RX7 vs Prelude vs Celica and the RX7 kicked butt and I was always envious. The two engine designs are drastically different though. The mazda uses the Wankel rotary design.

My engineer friend Richard also echos what you have said that the fuel source for this McMaster engine would be very dangerous. We will have to wait and see the prototype (if there ever is one). Here is a neat site that I find very useful for better understanding how most common engines work. I found it very educational

WEEKLY FIGHT REPORT
TYSON
The Tyson fight was pretty good. Tyson looked good and did not crack up. I can't wait to see him fight a top5 guy.

PRIDE
Pride fighting from Japan had some outstanding match-ups. The best of the night was old timer "Don the Predator Fry" vs Gilmert Ivel. Don is a wrestler and Gilbert a kick boxer...what a match. The trouble wrestlers have is that you will get hit if you do not take a striker down. The problem kick boxers have is that if they get taken down, they are in a whole different world. So what happens when these two sides meet? Well the wrestlers weighs the odds and says "I will charge and get hit one good time in the head for the chance that I can take this bastard to the mat". And the kick boxers plan is to strike and run away and not get grabbed. That is how this fight went all night. The two literally ran at each other. Gilbert threw a flying knee and hit Don right in the chest. Don took that monster hit and grab the knee and sucked Gilbert onto the mat. WOW! and here is the picture that says it all...just as I explained on their main site top

Then Gilbert, did something not very nice and scratched Don's eyes. This used to be allowed in the early years of Mixed Martial Arts but has since been declared illegal and I think it is a fair rule. Don was blinded but held onlike a champion. Gilbert cheated so much that he lost of fouls. Very sad but Don The Predator is Back!

UPCOMING
coming soon is UFC and then another PRIDE and LEWIS vs RAHMAN2. All in early november. I will keep you posted!
