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.

Had you heard of blogs? I guess I must be living under a rock since I was clueless. Paul clued me in and also wrote some nice explanations for todays letter. Paul explained to me that BLOGS are short for web-logs and these are like an internet based diary or journal, for all to see. Paul has started the first porn blogs and is anxious to trade links with anyone else who has such a site. You can find his site link in the interesting sites section. I have a question for everyone
this week "How do I make those neat damn pictures that look like
a software box or a box of cereal?" I think I need to find an example.
Go here and look at that box in the top left and here is another example...you
know, those damn fancy boxes that look like a software box but don't
really exist How the hell do you make those? Is there "crafty box software"? or is it a PhotoShop plug in? Or adobe illustrator plugin? Is there a name for it? Cereal box trick maker? =) Anyways...share the secrets if you don't mind This week is just regular size, so you can sip your coffee slowly. That Wired prediction story from last week drummed up a pile of passionate emails from readers on everything from pilotless planes, to anti-aging, and the universe is expanding. I printed some of these in the lower section for fun. Some interesting news this week to start off with. A large supreme court case decision to strike down the ban on virtual child porn tops the news. Ebay and PayPal are rumored to be talking. And there is a new bill on the books to put an end to fake FREE offers. And next week...I am going to blow the lid off the popper with a new experiment. I reveal a couple on interesting test experiments at the end of this weeks letter. Next week, if I am correct in my theory, I will be hoping up on my soap box and spewing "ya see, I told ya so!" =) OK, I will give you a hint of what the test is. I have constantly felt that "stripping the underlines off links, drastically reduces click rates. I tested this long ago and I am testing it now again. I even think in IE6 they strip those lines off all sites. I know personally that I hate searching around with my mouse to find a link on a site. I know they are damn pretty to look at stripped...but what do we want? We want MONEY. Yes Yes and you get that money with TRAFFIC and that often come from getting the most clicks. On with the fun ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| PAYPALS SHARES SURGE ON EBAY
RUMORED TAKEOVER from Richard this is a huge WIN WIN situation if both sides can pull it off. I had hoped ebay would come to their senses and buy paypal rather than start their own and struggle and then both companies would be weaker at billing than one good company. I hope this rumor is true. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| SUPREME COURT STRIKES DOWN
BAN ON VIRTUAL CHILD PORN This is huge news. I think it is the correct decision. As offensive as some folks may find it, we have to be allowed to imagine and fantasize, even if some folks find the things we dream up to be offensive. How else would their be movies and tv? We read a book about a serial killer. We watch a show where a bad guy shoots 100 people in 3 minutes. Some might find this offensive but we need to be allowed to have free thoughts. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| BILL TO OUTLAW FAKE FREE
CHARGES from sign_bldr This could dent some paysites who still have a "3 day free" offer. Most have left free trial and gone with the 5 day and 3 day paid trial already ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| MOORE'S LAW I can't find it online yet. Moore's law seems to always pop up in the news. Moore's law narrowly defined was transistor density on a silicone chip. Moore is now starting to doubt his own predicition and many feel that we will hit a wall in 2015. Others, including myself, look at the law in a larger sense where it describes raw computational power growth. Some feel that we may grow in this respect at 2X exponential! What is neat about the article is that they show a graph and around 2025, the computer chip will process as quickly as a single human brain. In 2050, this will be the equivalent to every human brain on earth. WOW! Here is one other thing the article stated that I did not know and thought was interesting. Moore's second law states "that while the power of chips doubles every two years, the cost of fabricating them doubles every three years.". Some are now predicting that financial limitations could slow moore's law. I tend to disagree. Businesses will pay for processing power. If leading chips go up in price to create a needed margin, we will still pay. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| SEXSWAP NEWS NEW AD RATES

Don't forget about our $250 Productivity Bonus & $300 Performance Bonus.. Each Month we add fresh banners, buttons and Fullpage Ads to ensure our webmasters are getting the best conversion ratios.. www.clickmemedia.com ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| TRIX Why can't the 2 browsers that constitute 99.99 percent of the browsers used by people add a simple age verification routine into them. It could work like so: Every adult web site puts
a code word into a meta tag such as Microsoft and Netscape build a feature into their respective browsers that allows the user (such as a parent or library) to restrict the browser from accessing adult content. The only way to override the restriction is password protected. Now every time the browser goes to a site if it sees the "XXXADULTXXXADULTXXX" code on the site it won't display the site. Since no adult web master wants to go to jail, everyone would comply and put the code on their sites. Sure some kids could get around it, but everything is hackable, but this would be so simple and solve all the age verification problems in one clean sweep. It seems to make more sense then the credit card approach? ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| PUBLIC ADULT COMPANIES from

from SignGuy I guess I listed about 40 books.. sold about 30.. had about 150 total...just gave the rest to Philadelphia free library... took too much time to list all the books. I guess for a retired/ or some one with plenty of time you could make some extra coin.. collecting all your family & friends old books.. the main reason I think these books that did sell, sold so well was they where either on the subject of BLACKJACK, Card Counting, and Home Construction / Home Renovation-Improvements.. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| FREE ECONOMIC NEWSLETTERS
from Steve pretty fun stuff (for economic
geeks)...there's another, so hold on "Commonly known as the Beige Book, this report is published eight times per year. Each Federal Reserve Bank gathers anecdotal information on current economic conditions in its District through reports from Bank and Branch directors and interviews with key business contacts, economists, market experts, and other sources. The Beige Book summarizes this information by District and sector. " hehe...random economic data
you can add to your newsletter... ;-) actually, the Beige Book is pretty
famous as a snapshot of the economy and I know you have been tracking
the economic pulse pretty closely lately, so I thought you might be
interested in it. btw, that Western Economic
Review is really good and if you sign up, you will get it every three
months forever. the other stuff from the St Louis fed is good for macro
stuff, but 1/2 the time I toss it...but it has some cool graphics ;-) ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| IS MORPHEUS HIJACKING BROWSERS

A LESSON from D. Trees I grabbed Birdtrap from BigNoseBird
to redirect 401, 403, 404 and Here's the cool thing. When I catch a stolen usr/pass (and you know I watch my logs in person), I set up Birdtrap to refer folks to a different URL for a 403. Then I cancel the pass and block the IP. Birdtrap picks up the 403 and tells the thief: 'Course, you don't really want to click on this URL ... "What you're looking

- EXTROPIAN TRANSHUMAN MOVEMENT from Kal Many scientists in the media discourage the practical application of Extropic technologies. They tell us things like our bodies are too complicated and we can never control these machines;, or they say the technologies futurist's propose for all these breakthroughs are centuries off, and none of us will be around to benefit. Being 50 myself, yes it may be wishful thinking, but I believe that within the next couple decades we will start seeing medical technological Extropic breakthroughs that will change man like nothing ever has. We are already seeing amazing cures being formulated for diseases based on results from the Human Genome Project almost on a regular basis. There are a number of Shared
Computing Projects concerning medical and Extropic research to be found
on the internet and they can be supported by a simple screensaver or
software install. ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| RE: PILOTLESS PLANES BY 2020

BOTTOM AD SPOT Now you do know that you can BUY this spot for $99 -> email daniel@gammae.com RARE BANNER TEST RESULTS THEORY Sure, you might of thought of this before. I hadn't really tested it ever though. I had two very good banners that I new got the best click rate in our system. I was using banner A and I was sort of scared to use banner B. Well I shoved banner B in there and let it crank for 3 days. Guess What? Banner B beat Banner A by at least 10%. A few days test made us 10% more bottom line. You are saying "Oh Sure" and I bet you are flexing your lips outward and asking the real question "but why?" Why don't I email daniel at Gamma and Why don't I be one of the BRAVE the BOLD and GRAB that BOTTOM AD! Wait....that was not the question WHY..now was it =) Why did the one banner out pull the other? I can't say 100% sure...but I can tell you 80% sure. Listen closely Samantha. Banner A had a more sophisticated user in mind...the TGP surfer. These people know what a picture is and they click gallery links and pictures etc all day long. Banner B had the AOL noob in mind. It was basic and dull and sort of silly. No TGP surfer would ever click it. Well guess what....the people you want to click banners are noobs! THEREFORE just something to think about. and while you are thinking about that, flew your lips outward and click here and TELL DANIEL "By George...I want that INFAMOUS BOTTOM ad that Andy continually hits us over the head with sales pitches each week!" daniel@gamma.com =) hee hee haaa ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| TEST TEST AND RE-TEST I love sending traffic to the Nasty Lads www.nastydollars.com/ and BIG NATURALS as I have said before. Once again I was drinking some Jimmy and lip flexing. When a hit goes to BN, and the hit desides to back out, he gets the popup asking for the sale to Cum Fiesta. If he closes that window, he gets asked for the sale at Amateur Movies. My theory was...move MILF to the number one popup, then Cum Fiesta to number 2, based on what I had seen in my traffics stats. Ernesto made the switch for me...thanks guys! Well right away...I could tell once again, our sign-ups jumped almost 10%. A simple banner test and then a pop up move and 15%+ was added to the bottom line. This is why I never seem to shutup about testing =) This is why testing paysite front-ends is so critical as well. |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
