Guys, stick to the topic please... I'm trying to see if there are alternatives to the current situation, either in another counter or another way of the current counter....

biskoppen 06-30-2004 04:04 AM

I would never dream of using a counter from some company like sextracker

It's very simple to build a counter in PHP yourself .. I've made my own one, hosted on a small server, counting 800.000 hits a day with no problems.. the counter itself is invisible on the page..

no news here. mtree / fci dialer has been operating like that for years outside the U.S. It's all free to the end user until he takes it in the ass. Scortched earth policies fuck up the market for the rest of us. Actually, it was worse in the past. They used to change the dial up modem settings of the end user to their dialer. :321GFY mtree

Been there, done that... What it basically comes down to every time is that they don't want to change or really don't see the problem. I was in pretty long e-mail correspondense with 'em, which was great, I know 'em from the early days and we did go back and forth a lot on some changes on their counter to perfect it. The counter is not the problem, that runs like clockwork, it's the ads behind the counter and the nature of the ads themselves (being blind and all)

biskoppen 06-30-2004 06:56 AM

My counter shows exactly where each gallery gets listed - and the amount of hits each gallery gets - on each TGP.

Get rid of these counters people. They are bad news and this company has no ethics. :feels-hot

showing up as spyware has been going on for years, I posted this a looooooooong time ago. And sextracker's answer was a bunch of bullshit, AND people on this board went 2 bat for them which was BULLSHIT. fuck' em.

other counters I use don't get flagged as spyware

I was checking sites today when I came across a blind banner by SexTracker:

http://www.amazingjokes.com/sextracker.jpg

Well, no news there...

Clicking it brought me to http://start.sextracker.com/Pornstars/ which has the text 'FREE XXX DOWNLOAD! NO BULLSHIT - FREE HARDCORE DOWNLOAD! NO CREDITCARD NEEDED'. The instant you click the FREE download you'll be hammered with a dialer that doesn't take 'no' for an answer. I always thought advertising a dialer (that charges a lot of money) is advertised with 'FREE XXX DOWNLOAD' was a big no-no. Also, a dialer that doesn't take the simple two letter word 'no' for an answer. VERY annoying.

In detail... I click the 'FREE XXX DOWNLOAD' and get the FCI dialer right away. Obviously I click 'no'. I get a popup after that: 'You must click "yes" to continue'. HELLOOOHOOO!! BULLSHIT! A stupid, cheap attempt to make people click yes... I click 'ok' on the popup and get the dialer again. I click 'no' and get a page with blind thumbs and movies, all linked to the dialer. Many people will be fooled by those still. A blind thumb is NOT a decent way to promote a dialer... Also, there are no charges shown before the dialer is installed. In much of Europe such thing is ILLEGAL... I'm pretty sure this mtree-dialer works in the Netherlands for instance though...

Anyway, I click 'back' in an attempt to return to where I came from. Unfortunate I don't go 'back'... instead I go to http://www.mtreexxx.net/cpd/?cat=5&w...s=1+317632+the and get another dialer load. I close the dialer and check the text. 'More Free XXX Movies' linking directly to the dialer, 'Free XXX Movie Archives' linking directly to the dialer, 'Free XXX Image Archives' linking directly to the dialer. The site is titled 'Today's FREE XXX DOWNLOADS'... well... every single link on that site goes direcly to a dialer which is far from FREE... Might even be a nice case for the FTC to check out...

By now I know clicking 'back' doesn't work (ok, to make the story complete I did try more than once, came across more 'free download'-promises that linked straight to the dialer). I close the window...

I get http://www.freepicturepage.com/index.html pop up... It's a TGP, or at least it's supposed to look like that. On top of the site are blind thumbs to downloaddollars.com which start loading a dialer once you click 'em. And then, after the trades, the TGP starts...

If this is how they want to do business, fine, and I must admit that being on SexTracker is a good option for me to show advertisers the kind of traffic we draw. I know it has been good for my business. I know I send a little under 2000 people a day to that page and I have extra text on there to tell people sextracker is a counter. On other sites they're promoted with blind links like the one of top of this header.

I'm considering (as I did before) to no longer allow sextracker on galleries posted on The Hun. Surfers are tricked into installing and running dialers. Dialers are not a problem, as long as it's clear to the consumer what it is and that it's definately NOT free. These tactics are definately a blunt attempt to mislead consumers, which is why I don't want to link to it... Also, the fact that people are trapped and as a bonus a popup to another TGP is shown makes me post this here.

Now, some will be temped to say 'take this up with SexTracker'... I did. More than once. With obviously no result. I will have to take stronger measures. If there are good counters out there that don't have these tricks behind 'em let me know here, and I'll forward people that submit a sextracker counter on a gallery to a page with alternatives. I can not accept this much longer. It goes against pretty much everything The Hun stands for.

Bravo. You care deaply about your products and the consumers who use them and that is why you are where you are today.

You know that! I just want to make sure everyone else does.

Stupid as it may seem to even say this (as I am sure many others might get a giggle from me saying so) but I believe we can offer what you are looking for at dirtystats.com. We are in the process of developing a counter at the moment, and we have one of the best php coders in the biz on our team, and we are willing to invest time and money. Although I doubt highly you would, but if you want to talk about exactly what you are looking for please hit me up and we will obviously take your opinion and suggestions and implement them. We are not about a quick buck, we want to build a solid long-term solution that can remain moderatly profitable for us to run. 344709237 is my ICQ, and although I doubt you wil hit me, I assure you if you do wish to do so your suggestions will be taken into account, implemented and online in the near future. For the rest of you, flame away.

Yupz, some of the major linklists started banning any kind of visible counter in the last weeks. They all swear with server stats (AWstats and so) but somehow these stats don't always give you what theses free counters give you. Like detailed stats per day and so..

Pfff.. I'm just read all the comments about the sextracker and I agree it is lame. Rebuild or redesign it, is no big deal. But the solution you are claiming based on php is probaly much lamer than the sextracker technology. I'm a C and C++ coder and build lots of times small stats collecting programs. If you are working with php.. well.. than you dont have any idea what you are doing. You cant run it all in memory so it has to write his data to disk. That's very expensive and it makes it slow. Do you have a small idea about how much data we are talking. All running and collecting, indexing and publishing on the fly. PHP is maybe nice to build the front end enviroment, not the backend for this large numbers. You have to build a scheduling and collector proces that can run in mem. No diskaccess at all. My advice to anyone who want's to join this technology, let it go. No I dont have a own product, as I told before I'm just a coder and stats programs can you get every were for free on the net.

Just my two cents

Obviously you don't know much about PHP

It supports sockets so you can even build your own web server with PHP if you wanted to. This means you can just use memory or shared memory without having to do disk access.

You can even use mysql with this, as it supports HEAP tables which stay resident in memory, so you get to use database features without having to make disk accesses. Indexes and such will make it extremely fast to deal with data.

just my :2 cents:

Whats the problem?. If you dont like Sextracker rules, go list your site somewhere else. Isnt that what you tell people to do when the grumble about your rules?

Don't mean to answer for The Hun, but if you put it at the bottom of your page it tends to count a lot less traffic...... atleast this has been my experienced

Alot of people won't wait for the entire page to load (especially if you're on 56k). Hence if the Sextracker button is at the bottom it won't load and count the true amount of hits.

That doesn't make any sense. It isn't that hard to control what loads first. At the very least, why don't you just put it as an image preload in the header?

Tom_PMs 06-30-2004 12:23 PM

I'd rather count money :)

But seriously, I think the dialer issue is a browser security issue/active-x client side issue. If you set your security higher than default, it should take "no" for an answer. Lower security, it'll basically take your settings as a "yes" before it asks. Kinda sorta..

It helps the counter's accuracy. If you put it down on the bottom, more surfers won't load the page all the way and the counter won't count the hit.

That's the point, when a dialer company make these fishy things with the download windows, without giving to the user the option to say not.. it is when people starts to think bad about the rest of dialr companies..

I've been using http://www.phpee.com/index.php for most of galleries however it never gets past the submission page. I'm not a programmer so I wouldn't know what types of problems it can cause - I just know that it's very very detailed and easy to set up on your own servers - no advertising - no redirect - no bullshit. Perhaps (if you have the time) one of you can look at it and tell me why it is blocked - what is threatening about it?

Thanks
