Nope sorry wasn't me. I have not been broke since 1995, second month I started in this biz. I wasn't really broke then. Not what I would consider really broke. I had a regular job this was a hobby. Back in 95 most webmasters would buy a domain $100 get hosting, then try to drive traffic to that site. I realized why try and drive traffic to one site when you could have more than one site to drive traffic to, your own network of sites.
If your going to post I said this or that in a post, be kind and show me the url to the post.
As far as the pond thing and me leading people down the road, yep I did do that. But when you work with 2 guys for so many years. Watch them shell out money like water at internext, hosting, domains and everything else they did for people. They was good guys. I never expected them to tank. It wasn't till after I left that some people got a hold of me and told me some facts I didn't know. If I would of known then what I know now, I would of left years ago. I still to this day, do not know the whole story. I did my job, did what I was told to do. I no longer trust anyone in this industry, its all about monitary gain to most. Me money isn't the most important thing in the world.
As far as the post of me doing link trades. Sorry I don't do link trades, don't sell traffic. Why should I, I have my own sites that interact with each other, my traffic is se traffic. Or I just send traffic straight to a sponsor. So thats bullshit from the get go.
Old school basics still works, its just rules have changed over the years. But try and teach webmasters that a site doesn't have to play by bullshit rules, when not getting traffic that requires those rules. Webmasters are so tied up these days with bookmarked surfers. I want a surfer to like my site, screw that, get them in get them to a sponsor, you don't make money with a surfer sitting at your site pounding his pud. One of the best sites I ever made was a site with 3 images. The first page was a normal looking free site index page. Second page was a picture, that was normal, third picture was messed up only half of it looked like it loaded. Third image only a quarter of it loaded. Under the image a text link, If this image does not load correctly click this link. Sure enough that site was 99% to a sponsor.
You want more traffic to a sponsor, don't load a image at the top of the page, have it linked but broken, you will increase your click on that banner, because the surfer wants to know where in the hell it goes. Cybererotica now Cecash had a banner at one time for webmaster that was like ASRDGFKF didn't mean jack shit, but surfers clicked on it just to find out what the hell it was and where it went.
Old school shit works just as good now as it did back then, because surfers have never seen it. You can have a million surfers a day, but if you don't know how to sell it, you have just that a million surfers a day.
I think I am done with this thread.. I see no reason to answer bullshit in the first place. My main intent was for webmasters to realize that SleazyBear was long before Sleazydream and the nick Sleazy was basicly stolen, why else would someone trademark a sleazy name if they didnt think that they was ripping something from someone.
