My days are numbered..

  • January 28, 2009

no, I’m not dying.. Not that I’m aware of anyway. What I mean is my days are numbered in this business. If things continue the way that they’re going there would be no point. Luckily, I may have a job outside of the industry, in my town actually that pays $20 to $30/hour. My sister is working for this guy and she’s trying to get me on to replace the web designer that the boss has right now.
If I get this job it will at least make me the $ that I need and I can still do the porn thing as well. If not than my days are numbered. I don’t see the point in doing something if you’re making below slave wages. Guess I’ll see how it all goes.

Linking to Sponsor: Tour or Direct to Join?

  • January 28, 2009

smile.gif

I have a quick question, before I will start making my first blog…
I am planning to build my first blog using the Gallery Scraper and Blogs Automator, but before I will make that I want to know one thing…
What works the best?
Shall I link the posts to the tour of the sponsor or directly to join page?
I mean I read a lot of posts and most of them say it is better to try and see what works the best for me, and I kinda understand that, but I have invested quite a lot of money and I would like to see some result anytime soon, so that is why im asking this…
Maybe you can share some experience here, so I can make my mind on what shall I do next…
Thanks a lot, you are the best!!!!

What do you folks figure is happening with jaysxxxlinks?

  • January 28, 2009

Well, it’s been a while since Jay did that first revamp of the site - but I’m not sure whats happening there, I was wondering if anybody else here knows?

I’ve been subbing there ever since Jay started it, had a preferred account for many years.

But, since the revamp, there haven’t been gay categories to sub too.

And I haven’t gotten any approval letters.

I’m a lazy fuck, so I haven’t checked my referrers to see if he’s switched to aprovals without letters - but, I don’t like lists that don’t send approvals anyway, and I’ve been cutting them out of my submit lists.

It "feels" dead. I was wondering if any non-lazy webmasters have proven to themselves that Jay is still reviewing and linking new subbed sites?

Zango’s Federal Lawsuit Against Epic Cash Dismissed

XBIZ POLL
Did your online adult business:
earn more in 2008 than 2007
earn less in 2008 than 2007
earn the same in 2008 as 2007

By Rhett Pardon
Tuesday, Jan 27, 2009 Text size:
SEATTLE — A federal judge on Friday dismissed claims brought on by online advertising company Zango Inc. against affiliate program Epic Cash.
The legal dispute ruled on Friday commenced after Epic Cash filed suit in California against Zango and the owners of AdultFriendFinder.com.
Epic Cash charged unfair business practices, claiming Zango’s “wrongful display” of pop-ups and other advertisements “blocked content on [Epic Cash’s] websites for the purpose of promoting Zango’s clients, who offered services directly competitive to [Epic Cash’s],” according to court documents.
Zango responded with a countersuit, and Epic Cash later submitted a motion for summary judgment to U.S. District Court in Seattle.
On Friday, in a stinging rebuke, U.S. District Judge Ricardo S. Martinez said that Zango’s complaint was so broad that it would have amounted to an attempt to pre-empt all of Epic’s claims in the California action.
“Consideration of this complaint would impermissibly entangle this court in needless determinations of state law, possibly both Washington and California law under the ‘violates no right’ language of the request for relief,” he wrote.
Martinez also said that Zango’s suit at federal court in Seattle amounted to “forum-shopping.”
“The court notes the fact that Zango filed this suit just six days after counsel was shown the proposed California complaint as an invitation to discuss settlement,” Martinez wrote. “This can only be viewed as a race to the courthouse in an effort to gain a more favorable forum. Zango concealed from Epic the fact that the suit had been filed for more than five months, thereby stalling the filing of Epic’s complaint in California.”
Epic Cash attorney Gary Kaufman told XBIZ he agreed with the judge.
“[This was] a blatant attempt to gain a hometown advantage,” said Kaufman of Los Angeles-based law firm Kaufman Law Group. “Zango deliberately concealed this action and then used it as an ace in the hole to preempt Epic Cash’s California claims and keep the litigation in its backyard.
“Epic Cash can now move forward with its suit against Zango and AdultFriendFinder in the proper forum.”
In the California case, filed at Santa Clara County Superior Court, Epic Cash claims that once a computer is infected with Zango adware, the Zango Search Assistant monitors the user’s browser and collects keywords that are then used to trigger pop-up ads.
In that suit, AdultFriendFinder, a competitor of Epic Cash’s EpicCams.com website, is accused of having used Zango’s services to have “diverted traffic away from Epic Cash sites and converted Epic Cash’s business to their benefit,” by “taking advantage of plaintiff’s marketing efforts,” presumably when potential consumers are inputting certain keywords or searching for specific sites, which subsequently leads to Zango pop-up ads.
Epic Cash attorney Colin Hardacre, of Kaufman Law Group, told XBIZ that the California case was stayed pending the federal court’s decision.
“Now that the Washington case has been dismissed we can now move ahead aggressively in discovery,” he said. “We have depositions pending, of both Zango and AdultFriendFinder, including Zango’s president, Keith Smith. They also owe us written discovery.
“Gary [Kaufman] and I both feel that Epic Cash’s chances of success in the California case are very good — we don’t take losing cases.”
Epic Cash has asked for $750,000 in damages in the California case.
Zango spokesman Steve Stratz told XBIZ that the company plans to mount a veritable defense in the California case.
“We continue to be confident that Epic Cash’s case is baseless and its claims are without merit and we will vigorously defend ourselves in the matter,” he said.

Has anyone heard anything about Muffia?
I received an email today that claimed to be from NastyDollars, but it’s from "NastyDollars" [announcements |at|worldmediaemail (dot) com]. It says:
