    4. What are your favorite passtimes?
    5. How do you deal with cheating galleries on worldsex?
    6. Have you ever had more traffic than the hun?
    7. What's your opinion on dialers, installs, etc?
    8. How many conventions do you attend a year?
    9. Who are your favorite people in the industry? Who do you look up to?
    10. What did you do before online adult?
    11. Did you ever think you would make the money you do?
    12. How long to you work ever day?

                        Hi Sleazy,
                        thanks for your questions. Here we go:

                        1. I started somewhere in '98 or something I gues. Dennis (who used to work for Payserve, Club17, as their marketing guy), a long time friend asked me to come work for them. I just started doing some html and photoshopping for a previous job and people with those skills were hard to find. (at that time ;-)
                        After 3 years I decided I could better start working for myself, and i started with building galleries, submitting them and some SE doorways stuff.
                        I got lucky really fast because I was able to buy Worldsex together with my business partner Richard. We bought it, changed a few things (we let Mark and Parney from www.cybercatinc.com handle the advertising for instance, which they still do ;-) added some more banner spots, rotated them and sold galleries and we made money ;-) Hurray!

                        Because we wanted to grow, we hired Dennis, who still works for me and does an excellent job. Thanks for all the help Dennis, can't do it without you!

                        We've bought al4a.com in May 2004, which we changed a bit too, got rid of some trades, got rid of most hosted galleries and fortunately al4a is doing well, better then we hoped to be honest.

                        Besides the tgp business we're doing a lot of sms billing, chat and subscriptions, now mostly in the Netherlands and Belgium, but we expect to start with Australia and some other countries in 1 month. We believe the sms business is going to be a very good alternative for billing and additional income sources for pay- and freesites.

                        I think this pretty much covers question 1 ;-)

                            question #2: Where do you live? Married? Kids?

                            We live in the Netherlands, about 20 miles from Amsterdam.
                            I am married to Sharon, who does all the reviewing/ email support for Al4a, (thanks a zillion honey ;-) and have the most fabulous daughter, Mackenzie (but well, I am her father, so I might be a bit biased on that one ;-) who I love to the stars and back.

                            question #3: Do you have any partners?

                            Yup! Richard, who handles our other site: lumberjack-links.com (advertising handled by gallerytrafficservice.com, thanks for the plug, you're welcome)
                            and ofcourse my wife.

                              Yo yo. Good thread SD.

                              Allow me to add: Not only is Pierre one of the smartest folks in this biz, he is also one of the nicest.

                                Question #4: What are your favorite passtimes?

                                Well, as I spend most of my time behind my pc.... I don't have many. But I gues watching a movie, reading and holidays are the obvious favorite ones.
                                I should get a new hobby though, this looks pretty pathetic. Maybe having tea parties with my daughter. Lars told me that is quite a lot of fun! (btw, Lars can be made rich by selling his products at: www.legendarylars.com)

                                Question #5: How do you deal with cheating galleries on worldsex?

                                a. I blacklist them, their domains, their ips, their dns servers if possible, their emails, their sponsor links and any other way I can find. All the galleries are checked 24/7 by a script and a couple of times manually from different locations by different people.
                                b. I send cousin Vinnie and uncle Paulie to tell them that their actions are not appreciated and that they would look awesome, in the trunk of my car, with ducktape on their mouth...you know..in a romantic kinda way.
                                c. I tell their moms
                                d. I tell Oprah
                                e. I try to find new ways to prevent them from being listed ever again and try to find measures to avoid others have a chance of cheating me.
                                f. Thinking of starting using partner accounts (I don't have them YET!!, so please don't ask for them at the moment ;-)
                                g. I redo a. incase I missed some of his stuff.

                                              Question #6: Have you ever had more traffic than the hun?

                                              Yes, we actually did. When we bought the site, it passed the hun at that day. And we were off and on nr. 1 or 2 for the following months.
                                              But after a while, he beat us, so for now we're nr. 2....and nr. 3 ;-)

                                              Question #7: What's your opinion on dialers, installs, etc?

                                              Dialers can be an additional income stream when the surfer knows what the dialer does, he only pays for what he gets and he knows that. Unfortunately with the current dialers, they are all infected with trojans, autodialers, etc (or at least the ones I have experience with).

                                              Installs ruin our industry in my opinion. It is not the install which is all clean and only shows the searchbar for e.g. like it is supposed to do. It's the fact that there are always people in this industry (and others) who want to make more and faster money, so they put other stuff in the installs, and then there is another guy who puts even more shit in them etc etc. So the surfer ends up with an install which redirects signups, redirects traffic, changes search results etc.

                                                Maybe I should submit a picture with the real me ;-),
                                                Here is a pic of me in my nighttime job, working as a security agent for VIPs:

                                                  Pierre you look like you are ready to step outside and kick someone's ass in that pic.

                                                  The only other time I saw you look like that was when I took off in the boat with you standing on the dock trying to get on

                                                    was that before or after you fell in the water when you tried to tie the boat to the dock?

                                                                      Cindysex.com is redirecting to Freeheaven right now, but back in the days it was a site on it's own (my dad's favorite ), before it got redirected to worldsex.com.. I really like to know what happened

                                                                        Last year, 3. Vegas, Florida, Curacao. This year I hope to attend more. But I also like to be with my family.

                                                                        Question #9. Who are your favorite people in the industry? Who do you look up to?

                                                                        Well, my most favorite is ofcourse my wife ;-)

I believe these people are honest and treat others with utmost respect and don't always open for other peoples opinions and questions. All of these are people I mostly chat with on icq:

                                                                                        I worked at my dads company, not really an exciting job though. I came fresh out of college and worked there for the experience.
                                                                                        In the weekends I used to work as a dancer in clubs and house parties (raves I believed they're called in the US), and no, sorry ladies, I didn't dance nekkid...

                                                                                        Question #11: Did you ever think you would make the money you do?

                                                                                        No, and I still can't believe I do. I am very gratefull I am in this position right now. We worked hard for a long time but I know plenty of other people working long hours too, but well, I guess they're in the wrong business ;-) and we got lucky....

                                                                                              Yes, that's Allie and I right behind Okidoki. We highly recommend his security services. He's pretty expensive but like the saying goes, "you get what you pay for." The club was packed that night but we walked right in the door, he gave everyone that look you can see in the pic and the crowd immediately parted and allowed us to stroll right on through to the VIP section.

                                                                                              BTW, his traffic is pretty good too!

                                                                                                  - What do you think its going to happen to the "tgp industry" with most tgp owners getting all their spots sold, exclusive partner accounts and FHG's, that leave out of the equation lots of good webmasters.

                                                                                                  - Also in your opinion do you think that most tgp traffic belongs into a "monopoly" of a few selected ones (like yourself)?

                                                                                                  cheers
