Ok, no screwing around.
You want hits to your website, I have the answer, a yahoo chat bot. No b.s. No kiddie script, this is the only one out there that works and won't get you banned. We have been making bots for years and know how to perfect them. Use this bot and get 2-3,000 unique real quality hits your first day out!. Sure I can tell you that you will get 10,000 hit a day, but we don't b.s. 2-3,000 hits from a site like yahoo would cost you a fortune. We will only sell a very limited amount of these.

$2,500 is the price, don't ask for a deal, it has taken us almost 3 years to perfect. That's the price, you want real hits, buy this, it's that simple. We will show screen shots to serious buyers only.

1) This does work
2) You will get quality hits like you can't imagine
3) $2,500 is a very small price to pay for this kind of quality traffic that you control!

If last week was the week of the BLOG, then this week is the week of the URL POPPER. By the way, if you got tips or tricks on blogs or url poppers or other traffic generating ideas and want to share, drop me and email andy@lips.com and I shove the stuff in future issues of sexswap news. I can't use it all, but I bet 90% of it makes it in. Now if you are looking for the next wildcat oil strike, then this might be it. If you are a programmer, then wakey wakey, eggs and bacey. Stephen has written in with the deep dark black ninja secrets of P2P. We are talking about heavy modification of the client servers used to chat on the P2P networks. There is no free lunch...this is tricky stuff and I sure as hell can't program it LOL. Everything in P2P works on searches...and there are many things you can do with those search queries ;) Combine that with the url-popper, and you have a new source of traffic. Many attempt to drill for this oil now. I have several rigs searching for the black gold as we speak. hee hee hee

QUICK TRICK FOR CMD.EXE
You know how when you run that command terminal in windows2000 cmd.exe, and it sucks because you have to type everything exactly, rather than TAB like in unix? In XP it autocompletes. Here is how to make it autocomplete in older 2000 boxes. Go to start > run > regedit and then do a F3 or FIND for 'completionchar'
trix.sexswap.com/gifs/cmd.exe.1.gif

Next change the value to 9 which is for TAB.

SOME ADWORDS QUESTIONS
pk asks
when you send hits from google on keywords, do you send them to a regular website or direct to sponsor?

andy answers
I send directly to the sponsor

pk asks
ok and google makes no blbla about it? Consoles?

andy answers
Sponsors like Nasty and some of the other big ones, offer a special link code that is called "clean" and when you send hits to it, you get no consoles. This allows you to try adwords and overature and not break the terms of service. You also have to put somewhere in your adwords ad "affiliate". I put that in all my ads and they still get 1.5%-2.5% click rates.

GURU-O-GIF PREDICTS AMAZON
In sexswap issue #270, guru-O-gif states " I feel this is the year they will show the world that they are the internet retail machine."

Amazon Sells $1.43 Billion 4th Quarter!
tinyurl.com/4un6

Here are some interesting points as well. In issue 272 I wrote "I want you to reach into your butt and pull a number out...what is the average order at Amazon? Man, it has to damn well be $20...maybe $30 or $40. But we want to be conservative...so pull a number, I will go $25."

I was a little high...I think it is closer to $20 and we can use this number next year ;) 56million items sold on the delight O meter from Nov1-Dec23. That is about 30M a month. I would guess october at 20M. 80 million items sold in the 4th quarter, divided by the 1.43B = $17.88 and I'd call that $20.

ERROR ON MY TGP LOGIC LAST WEEK IN AD
Last week I suggested that you could use our new hosted galleries in conjunction with TGPwizards. I forgot that TGP sites and submission sites require reciprocal links Therefore my suggestion will not work and I apologize for the misinformation. I did not think it all the way through. Thanks to Steve for catching that :)

TGP HOSTED GALLERY TIP FOR TGP OWNERS from Craig the Programmer
Craig writes
The best way to use hosted galleries is to mix them in with normal listings at a TGP you own. So a user may click on a submitted gallery first, then move to the next gallery in the list which could be a hosted gallery and potentially provide a sale to you.

Dangerous Dan ads
I believe we are already doing that .... they really like our ''post one link and the galleries will change by themselves'' ... they don't have to play around with a bunch of linking codes

GOOGLE AD WORDS AND NASTY from Justin from OZ
Justin from OZ write
Unless you use ad words exclusively for nasty sites, then how do you know the sales have come from somewhere else

Andy writes
This is a great question. Some affiliate programs have a way to alter their referring url so you can track signups from sources easier. With nasty, this option does not exist. What I simply do is signup for more than one account. I have 5 accounts total and use the 4 extra ones to TEST TEST TEST. If a test works great, I might put the traffic in the big bundles account. Simply grab an extra account so you can isolate when you test. You have to have as clean data as possible when you are trying new things so you can make the correct call. This is expecially true when paying fo traffic.

HOW IS YOUR JANUARY GOING? MINE IS SUCKING THE TURD
Has this been the most brutal january in porn? I always remember that December thru February as BOOM time in porn. This is the first year that I have not seen that. Things have flat to brutal with most of the webmasters I talked to. It could be the fear of war and it could be third party billing and it could be a bunch of things together. Finally, about 5 days ago, things started to pick back up. I got so scared that I thought I better do some heavy testing. I tested about 40 banners. That didn't help at all and cost me money. I tried different links...brutal, cost me money. I even got so scared that I thought I better test 3-4 sponsors. After two days, I felt a lot better. Nasty easily defeated the 4 sponsors I tested. For the test accounts that ran 48 hours, it was 4 signups vs 0 signups vs 0 signups vs 0 signups. Nasty had the 4 and the other three had 0s. I encourage you to test your sponsors from time to time as well. It doesnn't matter what affilaites you use, it sure helps you sleep better at night if you do a test such as this every 6 to 12 months. If you have never tested your current sponsor against Nasty, why not give that a try? I think you might be pleased you did.

As I said above, I run 5 or 6 accounts all with different traffic streams. Here are the two bigger accounts. I think these are both very interesting since they almost always do about the same about of signups, but one is very weak traffic, and one is stronger traffic. There's around $10k in sales here to compare.
trix.sexswap.com/jpgs/nastyjan03.jpg

On the stronger targetted traffic, how about them damn Tanny's! That account gets the big hits with Tranny Suprise, and Cum Fiesta. On the more general traffic with heavy TGP style hits, nothing works like Big Naturals.

If you are looking to find a new affiliate program, or if you are considering testing your current sponsor against some new ones, then hope you will give Nasty Dollars a try. I continue to be very pleased with the product. Click here and gets started in minutes

WEBMASTER PRICE TO SELL NEW CONCEPT from Joe
Joe has both mainstream and adult interests. One of his new mainstream products actually is being sold in a unique manner. He lets the webmaster determine the market price. No matter what, the webmaster gets 70% of the sale. I am curious to see how this does. It is sort of like mainstream retail with a suggested price except there is usually a bottom price there. Will this lead to heavy price competition? We should know soon

Joe writes
Have I showed you my product I've produced and I'm selling? FileSafeGuard, it lets surfers hide their porn in an encrypted password protected folder so they can see their private porn collection and their wife and kids can't.
www.filesafeguard.com/a4d/specialoffer/specialoffer.html

I'm starting a new marketing campaign I call "Priced To Sell" where I let webmasters choose what price they want to sell the program for so they can test their traffic and find the pricing sweet spot for their particular traffic. They always get paid 70% no matter what they charge for the program. I think this may be a new trend. It makes sense to me anyways.

BLACK NINJA PRO-LEVEL URL POP P2P part2 from Stephen
Stephen writes
In sexswap issue #273 "CRACKING THE URL POP" you mentioned modifying gnut to
always send your file list no matter what the search term is. This is good
but you can go even farther if you have some programming skills (or money to
hire one)...

The Gnutella protocol is an open protocol allowing anyone to make a client
that can connect to a gnutella network. The result is the wide range of
different Gnutella clients such as BearShare, LimeWire, gnut etc...

Kazaa on the other hand uses what's called the FastTrack protocol which is a
commercial p2p protocol and obviously closed. That's why there is only one
Kazaa client as of right now.

Because the Gnutella protocol is open one can build their own client to do
whatever they want which leads to the idea of dynamic p2p.

Not to get to technical but basically the operations of searching and
receiving files on a Gnutella network is made up of two packets the Query
and QueryHit. When a client does a search it sends out a Query packet which
contains the search string (among other things). Clients on the network are
constantly receiving these packets and are checking their users file list
for matches. If the search string matches a file on a user machine that
users client sends back a QueryHit packet. The QueryHit is made up of (among
other things) the number of matching files or "hits" and a list of matching
files. The list is made up of the file names, sizes, and a number that
uniquely identifies each file.

If the searcher wants to download a file his client sends a standard http
GET request to the user with the file and that users client responds by
sending the file using the standard http file transfer protocol.

By modifying gnut your just having gnut send a QueryHit for every Query it
receives. But if all your files are named something totally different then
what was searched for then that person is probably not going to download
your files. What you can do however is dynamically create file names based
on the search string.

For example, you have 1 file on your HD that you severing named "dafult.mpg"
which is 1mb. Your client receives a Query for the search string "teens"
your client then sends back a QueryHit of 1 match and a file list for a file
named "teens.mpg", size of 1mb, and an unique identifier of 1. Your client
then stores this information somewhere.

Assuming the searcher wants your file his client sends a get request to you.
Your client stored the QueryHit information so it knows that it sent out a
match for the file "teens.mpg" so your client just sends "dafult.mpg" under
that name.

This is a basic example but you can see that the files don't have to exist
your client just has to know how to manage the gets. You could have 1 file
but send a QueryHit of 1,000. The file names are generated based off the
search string but the client could also use a word list or log file to make
each name unique.

You can also fake file sizes to make the searcher think he is downloading a
larger file (or smaller). Most Gnutella clients use the file size field in
the QueryHit to show the file size on the results window but use the http
protocol header "Content-length:" that your client sends before sending the
file to determine the files true size.

For example, you could say your "dafult.mpg" is 50mb in your QueryHit but
show the true size of 1mb in the content length header.

These are just some of the things you can do by programming your own client
you also have access to all the variables that determine the number of
Query's your client receives.

One can find documentation on the Gnutella at:
www.limewire.com/index.jsp/developer

LimeWire is a java implementation of a Gnutella client. The developers of it
have released the class files and also the source of those files for anyone
that wants to create their own client. Using the classes allows one to make
a client easier by not having to start from scratch. You can find them at:
www.limewire.org/

On the subject of BearShare's built in video player I looked around the
BearShare website (saw one of your posts on the message board "why do mpegs
with url pops freeze in the theater") on the page:
www.bearshare.com/help/theater.htm

Under "Some Things To Know About The Theater" #2:
"Another feature of the Theater is the disabling of pop-ups found in some
file formats so you will see nothing but the file content itself."

Its actually meant to block pop-ups so there is probably no way around it.
But from people talking on the message board it seems that most don't like
the theater and don't use it.

BLACK NINJA PRO-LEVEL URL POP P2P part2 from Stephen
Stephen continues his excellent discussion on the P2P networks systems

Stephen writes
The Gnutella protocol is open so anyone can use it to make a p2p application
and can also add on to it if they want. The problem is that if you change
the protocol and don't tell people what you did their clients wont work with
your clients. BearShare is the largest Guntella client, the client is closed
source but they still don't make fundamental changes to the protocol. There
are a group of developers run by the big clients LimeWire, BearShare, and
others that decide on changes to the protocol and since LimeWire and
BearShare control most of the market when they updated their clients to fit
new protocol changes everyone else has to if they want their clients to be
compatible. But the protocol is open so anyone can read the new changes and
implement them.

The idea behind Gnutella in relation to something like napster is that
napster used a central sever system where the napster servers held a
database of the files users had. Searching for files was client to server
and then the downloads were direct user to user like any other p2p network.
The problem is that if you shut down the main napster servers you shut down
napster.

Gnutella, Kazaa, and other p2p networks have no central server all you need
to get on the network is an ip of someone who's already connected. Basically
everyone is a server and also a client. I connect to you and your connected
to someone else who's connected to someone else etc... When you want to
search you send a Query out to everyone you're connected to and they pass it
along a certain number of times. If there are matches the QueryHit's get
past along each client until they get back to you.

So since gnut probably has less then 1% of the market share (maybe more but
still very small) and uses BearShare and/or LimeWire connection points when
you connect with it you are connecting to someone running BearShare or
LimeWire and they are probably connected to someone else who is running the
same client and so on. That's why you never see a gnut server because the
network is made up mostly of BearShare and LimeWire clients.

There are two major versions of the Gnutella protocol 0.4 and 0.6. The major
clients like LimeWire and BearShare support the 0.6 protocol and try to also
support 0.4 but not always. That's why when you use gnut and other clients
which only support the 0.4 protocol it looks like the BearShare clients
don't want to talk to you. In reality they are not excepting your
connections and are ignoring your QueryHit's. If you were going to design
your own client you would want to base it on the 0.6 protocol.

Some places with development info:

groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf

Lots of files on Gnutella
groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf/files/

Development files
groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf/files/Development/

Important files to read:

Documentation on how to connect to a Gnutella client using the 0.6 protocol
Gnutella 0.6 Handshaking Protocol

Documentation on the rest of the 0.6 protocol
GnutellaProtocol-v0.6-200206draft.txt

Features that a full client should implement, not all of them would have to
be implemented to do what we want.
Required and recommended features.txt

Documentation on the HUGE protocol addition. HUGE allows files to have
hashes which allows for a user to start a file with one user and finish it
with any number of other users with the same file. The new BearShare clients
ignore any QueryHit's that don't use it.
groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf/files/Proposals/HUGE/

Documentation on Ultrapeer
groups.yahoo.com/group/the_gdf/files/Proposals/Ultrapeer/

As for file sizes a 200k file is probably better then a 2mb file just
because you can pop a URL in a 200k file and still give them something but
keep them wanting more so when they see the pop up they look at the website
instead of closing it to finish the movie. But some people want to download
large movies that's where you can fake the file size, though others want
smaller movies. So you could have one or a couple 200k movies but when you
send out your QueryHit list some as larger.

There are open source napster servers that anyone can run that can be
connected to by the older napster clients and napster client clones. Also
there are other p2p networks like Direct Connect and eDonkey2000 and others.
Haven't tried anything with them though.

RE: TEXT BASED ADS from Mark
Mark writes
I totally agree with your point of view. Descriptive text links have always brought me
more, and better quality traffic than any banner.

Like you say, people have a habit of reading things and ignore pictures. Before
I got broadband, I used to turn graphics off entirely, and rarely missed them. Google
has done so well, not just because of their adwords program, but overall - because
they keep the graphics to a minimum. I look at it this way:

Lots of graphics = surfers pay attention to text
Lots of text = surfers pay attention to graphics - but NOT BANNERS! Anything
self-contained and copy-pasteable is going to be ignored, but who doesn't notice
the seasonal graphics Google uses for their homepage title? Perhaps the next
step is to make banners that blend in with backgrounds, that aren't boxy or
overgrown full page ads. Imagine a bunch of banners that blend seamlessly into
the background of a page like Google's title graphic... I think people would pay
attention to graphics again.

Thanks again,
Mark (Interlude)
