I like and use facebook but I do not currently pay them for that priviledge so how are they making it?

Quote: Pirates are all over the news this year. They were off the coast of Somalia … and now they’re in Sweden? In April, a Stockholm court handed down a guilty verdict for "accessory and conspiracy to break copyright law" to the four owners of the Web site Pirate Bay, who now each face up to one year in prison.
Their crime? Setting up a site that allows 22 million users–and that number is growing–to search for and find pointers to (mostly) copyrighted material on the Internet. These so-called torrents are easily downloadable, perfect digital copies of music, TV shows, movies and, as it’s known on the Web, pr0n. Outraged at their courts, Swedish citizens got the last laugh when the three-year-old Pirate Party received 7.1% of the vote in the early June European Union elections, guaranteeing it a seat in the European Parliament. Argh.
The funny thing is, Pirate Bay doesn’t even host any copyrighted material for download, only directions to find it. If I were Google CEO Eric Schmidt, I’d hold off on that trip to Europe this summer. Because type "The Climb lyrics" into Google and you get pages of links to other Web sites with copyrighted lyrics to this Miley Cyrus song. Type in "Hannah Montana the Movie torrent," and you have a choice of download sites for a copy of the movie, all one click away. That’s "accessory and conspiracy," if you ask me.
Fortunately, we in the U.S. rarely pay attention to Swedish laws. Did you know it’s illegal in Sweden to repaint a house without a license and the government’s permission? But along the lines of Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg’s remark–"Why shouldn’t we look to the wisdom of a judge from abroad with at least as much ease as we would read a law review article written by a professor?"–I say bring on the Pirate Party!
Copyright law and its interpretations have been a mess for years. I’m always amused by pay-per-use Xerox machines in libraries bearing a warning label not to copy copyrighted material–as if there was any other reason for the copier to be there. In 1998 Congress was happy to pass an extension to existing regulation, practically written by The Walt Disney Corporation, that extends artist’s copyrights well beyond their deaths. Google has inflamed the anger of book authors, a dangerous group who can type faster than most, by claiming it is allowed to put the complete text of books on its site unless individual authors opt out.
Furious that Internet news sites are using Associated Press content without paying fees, the AP announced tougher enforcement of their copyrights. In an attempt to show how twisted this has become, I (illegally?) copied the following from an AP story I found on Google: "’We can no longer stand by and watch others walk off with our work under misguided legal theories,’ said Dean Singleton, the AP’s chairman and the chief executive of newspaper publisher MediaNews Group Inc. ‘We are mad as hell, and we are not going to take it any more.’"
For the most part, Google and others hide behind a simple concept, that they are in the "link serving" business. Ingenious, actually. Others may violate copyrights, their argument goes, but we just serve up links to Web sites that are doing supposedly illegal things, like hosting downloads. Google’s implicit claim is that they are not the police of the Internet, which would be quite an expensive task to undertake. And if the Web were strictly regulated, search wouldn’t be as lucrative a business. But are they in the same business as Pirate Bay? Will they soon fund the Google Party?
And who are the Web’s police? In the end, it’s courtrooms in places like Sweden. They’re not very efficient; they don’t fit the Internet model of scalability. So really, it’s no one. Like it or not, the Web is and will remain the Wild West.
Hand out as many guilty verdicts as you like, but folks on the Internet will copy away–because, really, who can stop them? Google won’t do it, Internet providers like Comcast and AT&T, who can block a lot of this stuff, can’t do it without Network Neutrality proponents squawking, "Interference!"
Even authoritarian regimes fail. (The Great Firewall of China is quite leaky.) Plus, it is so easy to create a Web service to download copyrighted material that, like that arcade game Whac-A-Mole, if you take one culprit down with your mallet another five pop up in the next few nanoseconds. Sad but true, there is not much anyone can do.
If you want to understand how impossible it is to shut this stuff down, here’s an example. I’ve noticed that Pirate Bay’s servers go down every once in a while, for as long as a day. A note is put up that they have to travel to reset their servers, which are in an undisclosed location. My bet is Estonia. Or maybe Tuvula.
So make all the legal arguments you want. No matter what court decisions are rendered and no matter what laws are passed, copyright infringement is going to happen. So these folks should stop suing their customers and lobbying for more laws and instead come up with new business models that pirates can’t follow them into.
Rock groups Aerosmith and Metallica have had most of their library of songs stolen, so they have incorporated them into the videogame "Guitar Hero." In that format, they sell them again to millions of fans who want to do more than listen. High-definition movies are too big to download (for now), so Blu-ray disc sales continue to grow. The fact that iTunes is tightly linked to iPods legitimized digital music sales. The Amazon Kindle is kick-starting a protectable platform for electronic books. And newspapers and magazines need to create more than just a free display tablet to properly Webify their printed words.
New services–in areas from alerts to social networks to finance to interactive sports-fan participation–need to do things paper versions can’t do. These organizations aren’t in the railroad/media business anymore; they’re in the transportation/communications business. The distinction makes a difference. And in the meantime, expect digital pirates to remain a menace to the old way of doing things.

Another way to build a completely legal and content provided adult tube site.
I got this idea from Sleazy’s post about a legal sponsor content provided tube site. This one is a little more advanced and requires you to setup a database and install a script, however you have more control, options, and can use more content providers. Hopefully someone finds it useful =)
Part 1: Setup
To start you need to be an affiliate of Nubiles.net , they wrote and provide the script but you can use it for any sponsor that allows FLV galleries dumped in the nubilestube format (or you can even convert some formats to work with it)
After registering with Nubiles.net go to Tube Script/ FLV Dump link, download the newest version of the script, and unzip it and register a license key for your domain. Upload the script via FTP, making sure you upload in binary mode, not text or auto detect because the script is zend encoded (which also means you can’t edit most files)
While the files are uploading log into your control panel and setup a database.
Follow the setup instructions here:
TubeScript Manual
When you first complete the installation you will already be setup with about 1,400 nubiles and anilos videos. However if you don’t want to use the nubiles content you aren’t required to, they only require that you keep the powered by nubiles tube link at the bottom (which has your ref code in it anyway for webmaster signups). They also auto set you up with Anilos content so if you want to use that you should sign up for the program below. Besides the nubiles content the following sponsors have nubiles tube ready content as well:
Sponsors with DumpsAnilos CashTeen DreamsHDV 18Ron HarrisSpunkyCashPanchodogDDF Cash BV BucksDawson DollarsPaper Street CashGuerilla Traffic Teen CashAllure CashPimp RollTop BucksVidz.comPayserve.comZTOD
You’re going to want to setup a cron job too, since view counts and updates are done by cron. The script says to setup a cron to go off every minute, but if you are on shared hosting they probably won’t like that much, so i recommend every 15 minutes, so the cron would be setup something like this:
/usr/local/bin/php -q /home/username/public_html/cron.php > /dev/null 2>&1

I dont know if this is old news or been posted before but bloggers have a read
http://searchenginewatch.com/3633972
The nofollow attribute for links has evolved from a way to fight blogspam to a power SEO tool. But its days in that capacity may be numbered, according to Matt Cutts, head of Google’s Web Spam team.
When it was first launched in January 2005, the nofollow attribute was described as a tool for site owners to identify potentially untrusted external links, such as blog comments. The idea was that search engine crawlers would not follow that link, not count it in calculating PageRank of the destination page, and not count the anchor text when determining relevant keywords for that page.
It soon morphed into a way for site owners to identify paid links. Proper use of the nofollow attribute was unclear, and Google tried several times to clarify the use of nofollow.
By 2007, advanced SEOs realized that the nofollow attribute could be used internally in PageRank sculpting. Using that process, the nofollow attribute is added to links to certain pages to prevent PageRank from flowing to those pages. The way it used to work, the PageRank that was saved from those links would be distributed among the other links on the page.
Here is where Google has changed the way it handles the nofollow attribute, according to Cutts.
This week at the SMX Advanced conference in Seattle, Cutts joined the discussion around nofollow during the duplicate content session. According to Outspoken Media’s Lisa Barone:
A debate broke out mid-session when Matt Cutts got involved about whether or not nofollow is still effective. Of course, as soon as it got hot, all search representatives got very tight lipped about who said what and what they really meant. As far as I could, Matt Cutts did NOT say that they ignore nofollow, but he DID hint that it is less effective today than it used to be.
Later, Cutts addressed the issue again in his You&A keynote. When asked about PageRank sculpting, Cutts said that it will still work, but not as well.
Basically, using nofollow will still prevent PageRank from passing from the linking page through the nofollowed link. But that PageRank is no longer "saved" to be used by other links on the page. It just "evaporates," according to Cutts. Rand Fishkin at SEOmoz has some visual aids to help describe the process.
This change mainly affects those SEOs that have tried to optimize their pages using the nofollow tag for PageRank sculpting. It’s safe to say that most site owners have no idea what PageRank sculpting is, which is probable a good thing, since it can quite easily be done wrong and cause more problems than it solves.
A bigger problem arises for those who are using it for its original intention, blocking comment spam. Under the new rules, a blog post that allows URLs in comments will lose most of its "link juice," since there will be many links on the page using up PageRank, but not passing it on. If there are two links in the post, and 98 links in the comments, the links within the article will be devalued, passing only 1/100th of the PageRank, instead of the 1/2 they used to pass.
Google has said all along that the benefits of PageRank sculpting may not be worth the time involved to do it. Cutts wrote on his blog last year, "if you design your information and site architecture well, it’s not something that you need to worry about at all…there’s an opportunity cost to sculpting and that the vast majority of people would get more benefit from spending their time working on making their site more compelling (so they got more links/PageRank) rather than obsessing about how to move around the PageRank that they have."

My silent business partner just acquired twenty grand and is interested in investment opportunities. He asked me the best way to invest that money (in the adult biz) so I wanted to get everyone’s opinion before I answered him.
I run my own network of amateur sites (Mister Peabody World) and if I were to take his money I’d give him 50% of the business and use that capital to find new models, buy content, setup a kick-ass Affiliate Program, get some (relatively) inexpensive (but good) designers who could design in Flash, Dreamweaver, etc (because I hand-build all my sites so they look ‘amateur’) and add 20-30 sites to my existing network and see if I could "grow it".
But that’s because I only know how to do MY version of a business model. LOL What would you all suggest? Become a sponor? Become an Affiliate? A Content Provider? Start a tube site? Basically, if YOU had twenty grand to invest - and were only looking at breaking even/getting a small (5-10%) profit how would you use that money to maximum effect? Would you BUY an existing (successful) site from someone who could show you real, hard numbers?
Obviously, anyone with a serious interest should PM me - this is a serious opportunity for me and perhaps some of you - but mostly (at this stage, since I haven’t answered his questin yet) I’m exploring possibilities. Of course, my little network wouldn’t have even started or been successful (which it is) without my partner’s help so this is not just talk. Also, it’s good to strike while the iron is hot, so to speak, as I’m sure he’ll find SOMEthing to do with all that extra cash!
Thanks everyone!
