Pssst! Biz secrets inside.
Got your attention? These ’secrets’ are right here on Netpond every day but with all the threads about falling sales I have to wonder if anyone is reading them. Put on your reading glasses, please.
I’ve said time and time again that everything you need to make it in this business is right in front of on this forum. No one else lays it out for you like Netpond does.
Here’s one from the master:

If you want some inside tips on this business read the thread above by Sleazybear. It’s worth it’s weight in gold, so to speak.
You’re going to find that it’s not so much how many sites you build, it’s what you build and why. As Ana will tell you, we are salespeople before everything else. Learn to sell and you will make money. You’ve also got to use a little psychology when dealing with surfers because, yes, they are people and respond as such. One voice that is sorely missed these days is Pam. Check out this this thread if you haven’t read it.

Xbiz article on AFF IPO. Russian Bank?
Interesting article on xbiz talking about the AFF/Penthouse IPO. Russian bank is now backing the IPO. The russian bank is underwriting the IPO.
Per xbiz: Renaissance Capital is based in Moscow but has satellite offices across Eastern Europe, the U.K., in Nigeria and in New York.
A questionable company with questionable practices now getting the backing of an eastern european bank and nigeria. I smell dirty laundered money. Just my thoughts. Don’t ban me for that opinion, but going to a Russian bank for underwriting an IPO for $500MM with $48mm in revenue is iffy..
Ouch

Went from a $175-220 site to $0 same traffic
I started a blog promoting one site and within the second month I hit $140.
Next month I didn’t add any posts but added a few inbound links but ended the month at $175.
(Traffic was about 175 uni/day pretty impressed for a 6 post deep blog with little inbound links..)
I then might of fucked it up and I want to know if anyone has had a similar experience.I started to blog about other sites offering some of the same niche…..example bbwlesbians was the niche, and i then blogged about bbwcutiesgalore which had about a handful of bbw lesbian scenes.(not really my site niche)
After I added in two more sites I then was promoting 4 sites instead of the one I began with..I now have a blog that has the same amount of traffic, but unfortunately is not a making any sales period..
offer one candy bar to a kid, the kid will grab it without hesitation. give him a whole bunch of options and the kid will go on a diet.. anyone had similar experiences?

Indian traffic vanished. Strange.
Since a year I have around 250 - 300 uniques from India. Now suddenly starting from December 12/13 they are appearently all gone. I checked my last weeks stats and found not only one visitor from India. Okay, visitors can suddenly stay away for several reasons. That’s normal.
But according google analytics my Indian visitors came from 55 cities all over India in the last 30 days. Would you say it’s normal that people from 55 cities suddenly vanish at the same time from a website?

how are they making money
I would love to have a website like live sex dot com. But how do they make money? There are very few ads and no traffic trading. One can watch porn videos without registering for hours there.

Mastercard kills Pre-Checked Cross Sales
Posted elsewhere:
Effective Immediately MasterCard is going to enforce rule 5.10.1
http://www.mastercard.com/us/merchan…Rules_5_08.pdf
Pre-Checked Cross sells are now officially DEAD!!!!!!!!!!!
Fines will be 50k per week per account
30 days for banks to cancel all accounts or termination of their right to process
This rule will not affect IPSP accounts since we are viewed as a single merchant in MasterCard’s eyes.
WOW!!!!!!!!!!! The day before Christmas this is really PRICELESS

2009 starting too look good for the affiliate?
I know we all see the lower sales right now.. However just look what has happened in the last 2 days.
MC pretty much just banned xsales. One has to assume Visa will follow their lead sometime in early to mid 2009.
AFF appears to be going bankrupt, so they are trying to go public with an IPO. AFF owes over 420 million and doesn’t have the cash to pay it back if their loans trigger the ballon payment. Which seems like it has a good chance of happening.
So this could be a good year for "Legit" Affiliates.. Programs will likely have to stop this xsale shit making affiliates a valuable commodity again and if AFF can’t stay afloat the Tubes and torrents won’t have anyone but Brazzers left.

Got a plan for ‘09 yet?
Well I guess its time to start thinking about whats going to go down in ‘09.
I’ve narrowed down my work stuff to 5 major projects including adult and mainstream sites and my mainstream consultancy. I’ll work on these for the first 6 months and then re-evaluate.
Would also like to lose 20kg of excess webmaster weight. (whatever happened to the weightloss challenge Mailman?).
Thats it for me, just keeping it simple.
What about you?
