                      15. Being lazy and expecting money to start rolling in within days of starting in the biz.
                      16. Sitting down and thinking "Why am I not making a lot of money?" instead of finding ways to do so.

                                  1- Have yet to do it

                                  2- Check

                                  3- Check

                                  4- Check

                                  5- Wouldn't be caught dead doing it

                                  6- Check

                                  7- Shemp once said that if you wanted to start a tgp to look at the calendar and to proceed only if it said 1998 or before. My calendar didn't say that. So Nope.

                                  8- Nope

                                  9- Spam? You mean multiple email deployment? It's okay, just make sure your whois email address is [email protected]

                                  10- What's a google?
                                  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.

                                    17: Flood all the adult forums with a 50 strong list of free hosted galleries daily then wonder why conversions are 0:30,000.

                                            Things I learned (and am still learning) about Online traffic and being a webmaster....

                                            1. Confuse "pretty" or "neat" designs with ability to convert

                                            2. Neglect the power of an overall coherent ad strategy

                                            3. Neglect to factor in the referrer URL of traffic in positiong the product or formulating the landing page

                                            4. Shy away from spending $ on custom-built software

                                            5. Fail to think long-term.

                                            6. Fail to look at my marketing materials from the perspective of an actual consumer.

                                            7. Hit an ad strategy that converts and STOP innovating.

                                            8. Wait for traffic crashes or sponsor crashes to push my ass in gear to actually fine tune my traffic strategy so that I make more $ with less traffic or newer sponsors.

                                            9. Being afraid to try new approaches

                                            10. Being afraid to look at traffic from FIRST PRINCIPLES (ie., ask yourself, 'what is traffic?' 'where does it come from?' 'why does it go to my site?' "who are my customers" etc. etc) -- seems silly but sometimes taking a fresh look at things we take for granted may yield new opportunities and open doors to higher levels...

                                            11. Being cocky and not realizing that I am constantly learning and will never "know everything."

                                                3. Use 'bannerfree' freehost.

                                                        1. Confuse "pretty" or "neat" designs with ability to convert

                                                        2. Neglect the power of an overall coherent ad strategy

                                                        3. Neglect to factor in the referrer URL of traffic in positiong the product or formulating the landing page

                                                        4. Shy away from spending $ on custom-built software

                                                        5. Fail to think long-term.

                                                        6. Fail to look at my marketing materials from the perspective of an actual consumer.

                                                        7. Hit an ad strategy that converts and STOP innovating.

                                                        8. Wait for traffic crashes or sponsor crashes to push my ass in gear to actually fine tune my traffic strategy so that I make more $ with less traffic or newer sponsors.

                                                        9. Being afraid to try new approaches

                                                        10. Being afraid to look at traffic from FIRST PRINCIPLES (ie., ask yourself, 'what is traffic?' 'where does it come from?'
