              Are you new here? Question is how much did you make a week before they went bust.

              Ask the new cummers the same about babenet I would be instrested to hear if people made more with babenet or xpics per week

                To those who never heard of XPics, about 4-5 years ago they were the big thing. They had a bunch of sites, XPics.com, SexMuseum.com, and a few others, and if you sent traffic to them, they paid anywhere from $.06 to $.15 a click-through! Back then, it was easy to make several hundred smackers a week by sending traffic to them. They were probably shaving, and probably should have been paying three times that much, but then they probably would have paid much less per click-through. Anyway, they pretty much WERE the industry for many webmasters back then. THEN, the Justice Dept looked into them. I actually worked in their webmaster relations dept for about 5 weeks until they fired me for asking too many questions.
                SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.

                            Never trusted those guys as they were allowing every password site going to partner them -

                            So never sent them a single hit

                              heh

                              as explained a little by that other guy.

                              They were basically the first BIGDOG of the industry.

                              Its always a good gauge to test how long you have been in the industry. If you never heard of them you aint been around for long

                              Xpics was the walmart of the adult industry click thru programs.

                              Dont get me wrong they werent the very first or biggest, but if you were here , you know who they are

                                        I hope you mean "cents" heh.

                                        Oh yes i think everyone made some good coin. It was def a sucky time if they owed you money when they went bust though.

                                        In the end it was obvious they were shaving , and not cacelling peoples memberships either. but back then a refresh counted as a click-thru. ( for the bad guys )

                                                      They all were good paydays except the last one.

                                                      Running total so far is $45,000 + i know theres more of you out there

                                                      Maybe everyone who lost out went and got real jobs
