Some memories...
- the Circle Jerk reigned supreme. Instead of thumbs leading to galleries, you had text links leading only to trades. And people actually clicked them.
- every paysite had the same design. A big pic which fit into an 800*600 screen and consisted of a bunch of pictures put together and adorned with such slogans as "Over 10000 pictures!"
- a semi-blind click was easily worth $0.25, and sponsors actually paid that. Per click.
- a site using tables had a pretty advanced design compared to most other sites.
- people clicked banners when they said "click me".
- almost all galleries were on free hosts, most of those non-adult freehosts.
- if you updated a site with 5 new real galleries a day, surfers immediately started bookmarking your site, passing it on to their friends and sending in grateful emails.
- every other site out there was using stolen content.
- toplists were pretty advanced software.
- SEO consisted of spamming your website to every mainstream directory and search engine out there, and putting every word you could think of in your description and keywords metatags. This really worked, too.
