BUSY BUSY BUSY. What a week! Karl handed over the keys to the big ship
2 days ago and I am in command of the S.S. Sexswap once again. This
week has been a huge team effort from Daniel, Gus, Gary, Karl and more.
First things first...Welcome to all new readers of SexSwap News! I bet
your asking yourself "Why the hell did I sign up for this dribble...is
this kat talking Chinese or did he take the small bus to school?".
Hee hee haaa. Quick explanation for new readers And so now I babble every week, chase the crooks, help upload banners, and aim traffic here and there. I am not sure if any of this makes sense...most readers get used to it =) ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| NEW EMAIL JOIN FORM - YIPPEEEE Ta Da! I want to thank Karl
and his programmers for working hard on getting this finished. There
is far more here than meets the eye. They creted an entire PHP newsletter
management system and database that make adding and removes and sending
much simpler. I am also shocked that already the join form is up to
20 joins a day! I should of done this 23 years ago. Now, for those of
you programming purist that do not want any flash, here is the ultra
secret pure small join form that no one knows about but me and Karl Again Welcome! to all new readers. I hope you are entertained and get some fresh ideas. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| WHY AM I SO BUSY? Gary, Dan, Karl, Gus and
the whole crew have been working around the problem. At the peak, he
was hammering 2.5mb a second. The good thing is that we are excited
to see that the sexswap database can take 2.5mb a second =) But Hell!
left unchecked and that is a $2000 bandwidth bill. This programmer,
has several pages, that span console...thousands of console....evil
consoles. I went their and the consoles are so fierce that he changed
my home page...."that's nothing" you say. Well he changed
it so that when you go to click TOOLS to get to 'Internet Options',
you get a message "the admin will not allow access to this area".
These fuckers hacked my registry so I can't even get into IE to alter
the damn home page. Now that is low. I did find a site that helped me
repair the problem but imagine all the regular folks that end up in
this quicksand site...they might never get it fixed. Here is a great
site for getting UN HIJACKED ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| NASTY DOLLARS KICKS ASS One of the first things I
did while back on the job, is my famous "accuse an innocent site
of being a crook". Yep, every 6 months or so I make this foolish
error and I feel like "King Of All Dumbasses". Fortunately
Ernesto and Robert didn't kill me with a shotgun. These lads ICQd me
and then we chatted on the phone for an hour. I want to again apologize
to them for my foolish error. I also want to tell you about their cash
affliate program. Like most lads, even though I am in porn, I still
enjoy the hunt for free pics. Well on one hunt, I found all these pics
of regular babes with great looking, big real boobs. It might of been
a TGP post. Well the site leads back to one of their pay sites called
BIGNATURALS.COM ...I love this site =) Ernesto and Robert pay out $35 a sign up and 40 if you can average, I think it is 15 a day. I have been sending them traffic for 3 days now and each day I keep doing better and better. One site of theirs that has really been converting at an astonishing rate is their gay site BOYSFIRSTTIME.COM This has to be one of the best gay conversion rates that I have ever seen. If you are looking for a
new affiliate program to try out, I suggest you give them a try. They
answer all emails and ICQs fast and they have given me several excellent
conversion tips along the way. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| EYEBLASTER - VERY COOL NEW

That is 420,000 unique hits in a quarter. That is 420,000 unique hits in 3 months or 90 days. Let's get out the slide rule and see that that is a huge WHOPPING, mega sized, SERVER OVERLOAD of 4,667 unique hits a day. OK, let me give them the benefit of a doubt...let's say they got 5000 unique hits a day. Woa Momma! Hold the phone, I better order up that SPARC2 server farm cause I need horse power. this site could serviously be run on 1 P4 unix box, but lets say they need three..a backup and a DB server. How much bandwidth does 4000 hits a day cost? You could run that on a T1 or less...cake. So far, I think I have found a need for a web designer, maybe 3 folks to handle those 3 swamped web servers, and a you of course need order fullfilment....I think a person could fill 20 orders a day....easy. that is 250. So what the hell are the other 2250 people doing? There are porn sites doing 1M uniques a day with 20 people on staff or less. This should be all fat margin sales. HOW TO FIX 5000 uniques a day...hee hee haa. Get me an OC12 and I am going to need a server farm the size of west vriginia. Call ever UNIX guru from here to the mississippi...we need help...our CPU is melting! We are BUSY...5000 hits...the DB can't handle...get SUN on the phone...we need technicians ASAP. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| SEX.COM LOSER CLAIMS CAN'T

ROCKETMAN TRIX I figure this is the easiest
way to get it since sending it in the newsletter might mess up the formatting.
I kind of have selfish reasons for giving it away. I want everyone to
really track their costs so terms aren't bid up impossibly high. Many
of the ppc engines have bids so high I see no way for the one purchasing
the terms to make a profit. If anyone has trouble installing it they

MAKE MONEY? by Doug Guru-O-Gif ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| HOW DO I SETUP A USENET NEWS
SERVER? from Cynthia Guru-O-Gif writes Cynthia writes Guru-O-Gif writes Your application has none
of these risks since you see it as a service of additional content.
The big dog of news servers used to be DNEWS. This is like the apache
of news servers. I believe DNEWS is writtend for every OS under the
sun at this point and always gets 5 star reviews. It is a bit of a learning
curve as you stated. There is some support and newsgroups and an email
list now which would totally help for support. Now, that is half the battle. You need the server software to run a newsfeed. DNEWS even allows you to set if up like hotmail which works great for a porn site. You still might have to teach your users how to convert the binary crud to pics since binaries are endcoded..I believe GUBA and others do that for them. Here is where you either have to hire a custom programmer, or educate your users on using a news client to convert etc. Maybe DNEWS does this now, I tend to doubt it. The last half of the mystery
is "where do I get the news?" You need to have an upstream
news provider. There are two styles of feeds. I remember one is called
a sucking feed and I forget the other. You have to find sites that resell
news. I did a whole article on this long ago...let me see if I can dig
it up. Here is an old page "Where can I suck from" and I see
many of the links are dead Here is how to set up your
sucking feed Ah Ha! A new page...Where
can I get a sucking or traditional feed! and there you have it :) This should get your started. Setting up a news server is about the same, maybe a little easier than an apache server and 10 times easier than setting up sendmail :) ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| AN ATTEMPT AT INSTALLING
SENDMAIL by Guru-O-Gif I will say that there is not a more painful install that I have encountered over the year that the dreaded sendmail. It is nasty. It wants certain permissions to be perfect and certain files or directories need to exist. Once it is running, it is great, but man...I don't think I could install this in a million years! I know, you are going to hit me with mail like "use qmail, use postfix etc". Sure, but the grand daddy is Sendmail :) Craig helped me install it. I tried to take as many notes as possible...this may get you at least started if you want to give it a whirl. Aye carrumba is all I have to say. ftp://ftp.sendmail.org/pub/sendmail/sendmail.8.12.2.tar.gz 1. do a groupadd smmsp 2. adduser smmsp with that same group smmsp and shell being /bin/false (for extra security) 3. cd into cf/cf in the sendmail
directory example 4. open in vi or other editor
the file generic-linux.mc 5. add some lines to generic-linux.mc and save this as a new name called sendmail.mc 6. I had to make some directories
that did not exist since I did a new install 7. While still in this directory
run the following command yes, that install-cf does NOT match the install.cf, since one is dash and other period 8/ no go from the big sendmail
directory into the one inside it 9/ go back out a directory
to main one 10/ now go into makemap directory 11/ sh Build install 14/ cd /etc/mail 15/ create a file called
virtusertable (virtual user table) with some emails on the left side
and a user account on the right and save it 16/ now issue a voodoo command things get very foggy from here on in 17/ maybe create some missing
files chown smmsp mailertable 18/ at this point we hit
some snags and Craig reached into his black sack of tricks and issued
these all powerful commands...use with caution as they can explode 19/ now at this point, I
imagine you are cursing so you might want to hire craig for some tech
support =)
That'll display a list of
domains currently usable for sendmail (receipt of mail)....if a domain
is missing make sure you add it to the local-host-names file Then type then fire it up now there are some sites
to get help...try the sendmail newsgroup and there is a faq and there is a book I don't think my instructions will have you running, but they will get you close :) I will try some installs on my own in the future and update this accordingly as I do my apache, mysql, php install chart. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| HOW TO BLOCK UNWANTED SPIDERS
from Brujah ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| SHOULD I START TO SPAM? from
Jerry Guru-O-Gif writes 1. you will get death threats...honestly. I have never seen people more mad. 2. you will risk losing your ISP. these crazy made people will do everything in their power to get your ISP to shut you down and some will even try to get your ISP shut down. 3. you can get sued. several porn sites have been sued by AOL...it is not a laughing matter. They sued the crap out of sanford wallace long ago. 4. it is a one time hit. this is the biggest problem. Email has a 3 day effect. This means that you then would have to spam every 2 days. Spamming every two days is like playing russian roulette every 2 days. You might get away with it once or twice but you will not get away with it in the long run 5. besides being sued, you might also face criminal charges if you hit a kid with a porn ad. This has no happened ever to the best of my knowledge but it could. there is so much pain that it is not worth the gain. Yes email spam works but it is really so painful. now, what is the 1/10 times I would do it. I would email spam if I was promoting a new affiliate program or somethng like that for webmasters. Then I would do a one time only, or two time only spam to try and get the ball rolling on an affiliate program....but I would want a fairly clean webmaster email list which is not easy to get. You could possible make one with email sucker software. >Also wanted to know there used to be tons of
them. the biggest one was always EXTRACTOR PRO I used to use three or four
little ones. One was called MAILLOOP. I see they are still in business Here is one I sort of remember
called ExpressMail Jerry writes Guru-O-Gif writes hope this helps out a bit. Sorry I am down on bulk email spam. You can try it and see what you think of it. It is a one time traffic hit so you will have to repeat it often and be ready to lose your ISP if you attempt to do it weekly since most ISPs will not tolerate it. Hey Dayne, Gary, Wes, or Sexy Kacy, what is your ISP policy on spam? Shoot me a note if you want to tell webmasters how you handle it and what can go wrong if the vigalate's get nasty? email me -> andy@lips.com Jerry writes Guru-O-Gif writes Jerry writes Guru-O-Gif writes Jerry writes Guru-O-Gif writes - EMAIL

25, 2002 at 03:42:08 Andy, Raw transfer rates are always faster, since this was backing up only 4 file at 2.8GB, it doesn't have to look through thousands of directories and files, write tape file headers, all the stuff that isn't real file data. If this was 1000's of smaller files, it would effectively be lower, as it is doing more housekeeping and not transferring raw data. That's how manufacturers can skew the numbers to look better than we get in the real world. Even on a 'regular' directory structure disk backup, it will do 300+mb/min though! Like the 160MB/sec that they advertise on the newest scsi drives, try to get that in the real world! Yes, it can transfer that from disk drive memory straight to the controller, but it can't possibly read that fast from the disk, cache and transfer to you to do something with, when you are reading through a gigabyte file. They are still much faster than older drives and some very impressive speeds. 6 seconds to read a gigabyte? They get close. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| DAN BOUGHT AMAZON STOCK =) ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| HOW LONG SHOULD A COOKIE
LAST? from Neil This will make a big impact on comissions paid to webmasters promoting the site as people who bookmark and then return later will still have the comission paid under a longer cookie whereas a site with a current session only cookie will probably pay very little out in comission and therefore loose business by loosing sponsors in the long run. If you have any pointers on this I'd appreciate hearing about them. I notice that ccbill's built
in programme allows you to set a cookie expiry upto however many days
you want to but ibills built in system only allows 1 day unless you
us your own software. Any stats, etc would be appreciated. I'm sure
it's something lots of people overlook unless they're writing Guru-O-Gif writes ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| WHERE DO YOU TRADE STOCKS
from Ryan Guru-O-Gif writes Originally I was on AOL in the mid 90s and used PCfinancial. They were then bought by DLJ Direct. They were then bought by CSFB Direct. I had always liked DLJ and CSFB but they got into trouble and announced a $400M loss for the quarter of their banking parent company and rumors were they would sell the online division. This scared the pants off me so I decided to switch. I went to AMEX brokerage but am disappointed overall. I would rate AMEX brokerage a 7/10 and CSFB a 9/10. The online version of CSFB is very easy to use. Both sites have very good telephone support. Here is what I do not like about AMEX after being there a month: 1. you cannot short sale without calling and that is $75 commission 2. they do not email you your sales and CSFB does. I prefer this even though it is a security risk 3. When you email tech suport you have to read it on their site...this is hard to use and slow. 4. I use stop orders and I frequently find that they disappear sometimes. Perhaps it is me but I feel they have not got the kinks out. Last night I called CSFB and said "I want to come back". They recently sold to Bank Of Montreal which is a great bank in Canada with a strong foundation. They said they are going to move the site the second week of february or so. I think they are a very good online brokerage and I plan to move my regular and two IRA accounts back their as of next week. Try navigating the two sites and you will quickly feel what I am talking about www.csfbdirect.com ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| DOTSTER AND VERISIGN ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| FIGHT FANATIC TYSON BOXING MMA aka mixed martial arts....this
ain't wrestling mon frere...this is street fighting with rules...mano
et mano :) WOW. two of the greatest cards coming up quicky. First, PRIDE
will simply be awesome with Dan the Preditor Frye as he returns to the
ring to take on Ken Shamrock, known to many as Shammy or Galmrock and UFC is going to be insane
with Vitor now you first time readers are asking yourself "what the hell does this have anything to do with the internet". And that is a good question and there is no real good answer...but I am going to pull one out of my butt just this one time since it is the first week of the email join form. The reason I wanted to tell
you about boxing is becuase it provides a good example of using the
language translator BABBLEFISH :) You see, when I want up to date news
on my japanese fighting heros, I just load up a japanese site into bablefish
and I can now read it. This looks very hard to read so let's now ty this hmmm, well my example is not working out that well today since babblefish seems to be struggling. Normally a page would come up and it is barely readable but funny. Comedy is not pretty =) ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| WAIT a few more things before I forget. Next week I believe will be our first week for selling ads in SexSwap news. There are 6-7 folks already lined up in the queue to buy ads. I can hear the groans from folks now. I think it is going to be fun. The newsletter is text and I don't mind reading text ads, especially if they are interesting. Also, Dan and I talked about it, we are dropping the shameless plug section. It has been a pain in my side since the beginning and I am relieved to stop doing it. This week we actually had zero submissions to it. Next week I hope to babble about 3 topics that I enjoy 1. Making new banners that
test well 2. Catching Crooks 3. Paysite math revisited
