    FLUSSHHHHHHHHHHHH. That's the sound of progress.

    Just finished writing some scripts to weed out the 404 redirects from my gallery's, and check for linkbacks & stuff. Look's like on its first run it's gonna delete about 4-500 galleries.

    Who knew?!

    Well, you did.
    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.

      Unfortunately, my scripts have such dirty interfaces right now that you'd need a hell of a lot more than installation support to use them. I'm a newbie, so I'm changing the scripts every few days to reflect new knowledge I've picked up about the adult industry.

      When they stabilize out a little bit, and I'm sure everything is working aok, I'll considering sharing tidbits, and maybe selling the whole package as a installation bundle or something. I dunno...

      Wouldn't want you guys to think I could code? If you can't code, you can't get da hoes.

        Are they PHP scripts? I'm in the process of learning PHP. I can relate. If it is PHP scripting, got any good resources to share?

          Yeah, the site is written in PHP.

          Well here's most of what I've discovered so far about traffic trading.

          a) People cheat. They even have bots that accept cookies and act like a fully blown web-browser to convince you that they're generating clicks on your page.

          b) You can't track users by IP. Most internet users are behind proxy servers nowadays. So if you're writing a script that has to track individual users, use sessions (or cookies) and watch for suspicious behaviour.

          c) A lot of free sites redirect to 404's which is annoying for your users. Periodically check your listings for 404's and delete them.

          d) Let your users a few good clicks (but not more than say 4) before you divert traffic to a trade or sponsor. You'll get better bookmark traffic that way.

            P.S.. I'm actually somewhat of a PHP GURU, but I'm new at the adult biz, so if you have specific PHP questions, I can help you out.

              Just an FYI for others looking to do stuff like this in PHP.

              There's a PHP class available called 'Snoopy', available from here (most recent is 0.94 I believe)

              http://sourceforge.net/project/showf...?group_id=2091

              Allows you to forge User_Agents, use proxys, request webpages (raw HTML loaded as an array you can scan through) or just request headers to look for 404's and redirects, etc. - all extremely easily.

              Great open-source script if you're playing around with stuff like the scripts mentioned in this thread. Cuts a huge chunk of the work out.

                I gonna have to check into that. Might be useful. Right now I'm just using fopen("http://whatever.com","r"); so I don't get headers.. I'm detecting 404's by text, so if it doesn't appear on the page, I don't detect it.

                I'm also detecting vb components, window popups, and "down" pages.
