Hey kids! Hope the show in Vegas is going well. Have a Jim Beam and Diet for me :) This is a trick little issue of sexswap news :P It's not huge. Its lean and mean and there are a few gems tucked in with a few turds of B.. LOL. I always hope the gems outweigh the turds. This week I have a rare product demo to show you. After that I have a screen cap with some interesting click rates. There are a couple other "switched on" stories as well.

on with the shoe ;)

PROSHOW STORY AND DEMO
Here is a little treat. Every once in a while I get to do a new software product demo. This week I exchanged email with an old colleague named Paul. Paul just so happens to be the man who created CPIC which is now called CompuPic. There is not a day that goes by that I do not use CompuPic Pro. I just love this software. Photoshop is great for trick picture editing, but it is brutal for media management. How do you efficiently look at 1000 jpgs? What is the best way to look at pile of pictures, with thumbnails? This program started back in the old adult BBS days and used to be bundled on content CDs. The program now runs on Windows Macintosh and Linux! I am not even writing the demo about the program LOL...I just wanted to let you know how I met Paul and how he got his start. If you haven't tried CompuPic Pro, give the demo a whirl
www.photodex.com/products/pro/index.html

Paul and I traded emails and he asked if I wanted to demo his latest product called "ProShow". My only regret is not finding it sooner since I think it would of been at hit at the vegas show which is going on right now. ProShow can do the following
Video CDs
Video Files
Autorn CDs
Executables
Screen Savers
Email Shows

I just made 10 screen captures to demonstrate some of the features. I grabbed sexy blonde Melissa from NastyDollars to help with examples since she is my favorite BigNatural. If you want to promote girls like Melissa on your site, check out www.nastydollars.com

Screen 1 - Main Program Layout
trix.sexswap.com/gifs/proshow/proshow1.gif.html
This is the main work area. Top left is the folder area like explorer. Then in the middle left is the content of the selected folder. At the bottom is where you can then drop the various pictures. On the right is the big version of the picture highlighted on the middle left. You can also see some of the things that are available to create on the top command bars.

Screen 2 - Loading the Pics in Sequence
trix.sexswap.com/gifs/proshow/proshow2.gif.html
I've now just dragged and drop 5 pictures of Melissa into the lower area

Screen 3 - Six ProShow Choices
trix.sexswap.com/gifs/proshow/proshow3.gif.html
I can now decided what type of ProShow I want to create

Screen 4 - Create Video
trix.sexswap.com/gifs/proshow/proshow4.gif.html
First I start off with a video. There are many format choices. Hi hit CREATE and in a few seconds, I had an mpeg video! This is 3.36mb if you want to DL and see it. It is also linked to on a page I will give you at the end
trix.sexswap.com/gifs/proshow/melissa1.mpg

Screen 5 - Email Show
trix.sexswap.com/gifs/proshow/proshow5.gif.html
trix.sexswap.com/gifs/proshow/proshow6.gif.html
I then decided to create an email show. A couple of clicks and I was in business. I believe he email show and the exe are very similar

Screen 6 - Executable
trix.sexswap.com/gifs/proshow/proshow7.gif.html
I then created the exe to destop as another show variation. Here is the exe that you can create or that is sent in email. It is 1.3mb. I have it with the PhotoDex intro included and that can be toggled off the creator so chooses.
trix.sexswap.com/gifs/proshow/melissa.exe

Screen 7 - Screen Savers
trix.sexswap.com/gifs/proshow/proshow8.gif.html
Do you know I have never used a screen saver in my life =D but Johnny Q Public seems to have a thirt for them and here is how to quench is thirst. This screensaver file is a little under 1.0mb
trix.sexswap.com/gifs/proshow/melissa.scr

Screen 8 - The 3 Files I created and their size
trix.sexswap.com/gifs/proshow/proshow10.gif.html

Let me copy and paste some of Paul's comments on this product to give you an idea how a webmaster or content producer might use it

Paul writes
Betcha haven't seen ProShow yet.... If you do anything with slideshows, then you'd probably really get into it. The adult webmasters might want to look at it since they like to show off their content at trade shows. You can't beat it for presentations of photos and it even makes VCDs and SVCDs. If you got to Internext this year, imagine what it would be like to see ProShow presentations at all the booths. :-) Also, here's a weird angle...the content guys can give CDs as a handout at the show, and they can be autorun show CDs that are also VCDs that can be played in a DVD player. That's pretty catchy. We're actually working with some trade show marketing organizations to promote this to companies as a way to do cheaper and more effective trade show marketing. Works great, and at $0.30 per hand-out, it works a lot better than a flyer. :-) Actually, perhaps the thing of most interest is that the images aren't easy to steal because they're on a VCD. So, if you don't want people to steal the images, then don't include the PC autorun, and then the users can't even do a screen capture of it easily. :-)

FIND DOMAIN NAMES EASIER
Many people think there are no good domain names left. I think there are lots of good names left because when you start making 2-3 word combos, you end up with almost infinite solutions. The one little trick that helps me find a few rare nuggest of gold, is the simple "Thesaurus" =D

thesaurus.reference.com/

When you type words in here, you will get some great words back that you can attempt to find a rare, unthought of domain name. Let's try a test....HOTBABES.COM has to be gone...what can we use instead of hot?

BLAZING - taked...damn :)

ONFIREBABES.COM - Ah ha! At the time of writing this...that name was available ;)

Easy to spell, easy to remember, and easy to market. I found that in all of 120 seconds using the thesaurus.

TEXT BASED LINKS VS BANNERS
Awesome Adam and I have been talking about the internet in general terms this week and we both agree on the power of text based links. Give me text links over banners ANY damn day of the week. You know who also has believed this since the dawn of time?...my old pal "KidSlick". He and I believe this since way back in the early years of porn and it still holds true today.

Ok, I am climbing on that soap box...tirade coming LOL

The internet is NOT multimedia. The internet is TEXT. Email is TEXT. Chat is TEXT. Search engines are TEXT. Forums are TEXT. The internet is all about READING. We read at incredible speeds compared to what we can hear on TV or radio. Ready is a much more efficient way for humans to obtain data quickly. Corporate america and adveritising firms still have THEIR HEADS UP THEIR ASS. Banners are big and bulk and ugly and make people mad. Remember two weeks ago when I had that bottom ad in the newsletter where I ask readers to click on the counter...and I asked 6 times? Was anyone offended with all those links? Now what if I had hit you with 6 banners? Holy Cow!!! Call the cops! Text links are awesome! They offend NO ONE, you can use hundreds of them on a page, and they use little or NO bandwidth.

I can here you doubting Thomases :) I am surprise more affiliate programs have not worked on text links. I can't think of any that say "we tested these 50 text ads and these three click ass...paste these on your TGPs." Does anyone do that? I can't think of any. With 50% sales and $35 per signup etc, these types of ads SHOULD be offered. Text ads got a bad name back when we were getting paid for clicks.

TIPS - if you have an affiliate program...here is a rare chance for you to knock the ball out of the park. Spend time writting and testing text based ads and then provide these ads to webmasters AND show the webmasters the STATS on them.

I knw you don't believe me. I can here you sipping 3 sips of that scotch on the rocks ROFL. I wouldn't be flapping my lips off unless I had some kind of display to SHOCK you with as I like to try and occasionally do =D I can't reveal all my secrets but I will tell you this....I love gambling on Google AdWords. It is a pure advertising play. You buy ads, you spend money, and the goal is to make more than you spend. The beauty of google ad words is that the ads are PURE TEXT CLICKS and there are no banners.

Here is a screen cap of 10 ad campaigns I have running with todays stats. Some of these numbers are too low to be statistically significant, but they still are pretty eye opening
trix.sexswap.com/gifs/clickrates.gif

That is a freaking AVERAGE of a 4.7% click rate on 9000 showings. Where in the HELL are you going to find a banner that even pulls 2% today? Where in the hell are you going to find a banner that even pulls 1%???? And these percents are on huge word lists of 1000+ words...not pure targetted words. Now I don't always do that well, but I am generally 1.5%-2.5%

TRY TEXT ADS on your sites and pages. You will be please.

AFFILIATE PROGRAMS - now is your chance. Who need a photoshop guy...you need a copywriter. You need David Ogilvy Karma baby!


That is the power of text based ads.

Thanks for that tip! I created a small add for blogrolling.com on PyRads.com and
changed the wording to "How do you blogroll? No HTML Required! Check it!" and my
click thru ratio went from .072% to .176%. It's not a lot but it is a definite

TELL ME ABOUT FREE HOSTS AND PAY HOSTS from Rosalind
Rosalind asks
However, this newbie has a question about free hosts, pay hosts Just what is the difference? I ask because I'm planning to start my own e-mail fantasy business, and would like to have a site. Obviously since it's adult material, using yahoo, AssOnLine, etc is out of the question. Is there a site I can go to that explains it without the technobabble?

Andy writes
Free hosts are ok, but I personally would try to get your own host. Free hosts in porn will run a big banner on top, and a big banner on the bottom, and links and you will have a very hard time making money. Ya the costs are cheap...free, but the gains are less. There is always a trade off. Now in mainstream hosting there are cheap hosts of $20 a month. You might find that in porn. I personally like hosts with gret service. I try to never go with the cheapest. Cheap bites you in the ass.

Once you get into your own hosting, you usually have two to three choices.

Virtual
You are on a box with lots of other sites. This is fine to start out

Dedicated
You are on a box all alone that the host sets up. This is for when you get big and start to take in traffic

Co-Located
This is when you are a control freak like me LOL and like to make your own box, fedex it over to the ISP, and have them slap it in their rack. There is not much difference with this and Dedicated exept you own the box.

If you are in this to make money, spend some money on hosting. I do not see $500 or less a year as crazy. You should have $30-$50 a month available for any business or you are really starting behind the 8 ball. If you want a great host with reasonable prices (they are not the cheapest) and they have KICK ASS service, then call Kacy and Stan and they will take care of you. Here is a plug for my old pals.
www.nakedhosting.com/index.html

start with something like virttual at $30 a month, get your own domain name, go with a company you can trust. Kacy and Stan will not screw you
www.nakedhosting.com/virtual.shtml

I have seen it 185 times when webmasters base their hosting soley on price. 90% of the time it bites them in the ass. Keep your ass smooth =D Service is a big part of hosting

IE CAN'T RIGHT CLICK AND SAVE JPG from Sanchy
Andy write
Sanya the wife, aka Sanchy, hit me up with this great tip tonight. Occasionally when she is handling some of the help emails as SexSwap, she tried to right click on a banner and save it as a JPG or GIF and IE is jacked up and wants to save it as a stinky BMP or nothing. The fix is simple and she found it on the MS support pages. In IE, go up to the menu items and click TOOLS, then INTERNET OPTIONS, and then GENERAL TAB, and then in the middle, find the area called TEMPORARY INTERNET FILES. You then want to click DELETE FILES. This will clear out your cache. Please note that it might even take 10-15 minutes of a heavily used system. I think it ran for 10 minutes on Sanya's computer today. Once that was clean, the right click began to run once again.

NASTYDOLLARS ADS A HOT NEW NICHE - STREETBLOWJOBS.COM
Could this be the hottest thing since BangBus? It just may be. This is the new site offering from NastyDollars.

THE CONCEPT
A guy wearing a spy camera in a pair of reading glasses approaches girls on the street and tries to convince them to give him head in a public place such as a restroom or parking lot.
www.streetblowjobs.com/main.htm

The site is really kind of fun and came online just a few days ago. Its so new that I am just getting around to testing it myself over the next week. If you have been looking got a hot, new and rare niche, this one could blow the lid off the popper. I watched a few of the videos and they really are pretty good quality from using a pinhole mic. The girls are great and there is that sense of anxiety or urgency in each scene that keeps you smiling and sitting on the edge of your seat. I think the best video is the hot blonde in the red shirt at the donut store. I also like the one in the mall where the girls takes a quick $200 for blowing in the parking lot.

If you want to get in on this new niche before anyone else, then signup and try NastyDollars today. I've been using Nasty for over a year now and am always pleased with the results. I actually run 6 accounts on 4+ very different traffic streams as I test, test and retest.

Click here to read more about Nasty and to find out more on promoting

STREETBLOWJOBS.COM

This niche is so rare that Nasty does not even post the content to the webmaster area for fear that it will be sponged by free loaders. There is a link to email ernesto and he will hook you up with the secret stash.
