Internet Today (Advanced or Newbie)

Issue #1
Why the rock bottom bandwidth prices and are they stable?

Answer: First let's look at low prices.. Internet Exchanges are places where ISP's connect and trade bandwidth without the cost of purchasing bandw
idth. Imangine this scenario.... A very large ISP (Website Visitors) drops a fiber line to a hosting provider (Adult Conent). The result is this, o
ut the OUTGOING bandwidth gets sent directly to the users bypassing any middleman such as UUNET or AT&T. Thus no bills for the traffic. Anyway, let
your mind run on this..

Now let's look at stability of a network.... fixedorbitDOTcom (this is not spam) is one of the places you can to gather information about a hosting c
ompany. let's enter myhostingcompany.com This will show you how many AS numbers they are connectd with. TECH NOTE (BGP uses AS Numbers to find best
routes) if two people are connected with bgp it will show this information. Now you know who and how many people your hosting company is DIRECTLY Co
nnected to. This means a piece of wire or fiber between one of thier routers and the AS they are peering with. The more your hosting company has the
better your chance are people will be see your webpage 24/7.(THIS DOES NOT SHOW YOU HOSTING COMPANIES NETWORK LAYOUT [IMPORTANT] Now let's look at S
erver Stability, A large hosting provider has MANY servers, most of your problems will arise here. Can they handle your needs... Well let's look at
your needs... Are you doing a lot of databasing???? Well if so, you better learn about AGGREGATION and DYNAMICvsSTATIC Display. This is what makes
or breaks a database.. I'll write more on this later.... If your just pushing pages, I wouldn't worry to much. Next study your hosting companies N
etwork Layout. You can do this using tracerouteDOTcom. Now you can track paths to your hosting companies network and see how well they are laid out
.. Trace them from as many places as possible and store the info in an excel spread sheat... Compare all the information and you'll know who and wher
e they are connected.. I am not giving away how yet..... That would be by ethernet, fiber, what are the limits on the line... Now you KNOW somethi
ng about your hosting company.

Issue #2
Bulk Mailers and what they can do to you website!
Answer: Bulk mailers can get you hosting company into trouble, ISP's will block thier IP Ranges from thier mail server so you can't get mail! Make it
difficult to have customer service if they can't mail you... How to gather this info.. Well MAPS is a paid service that ISP's can sign thier mailser
vers to control who is spamming and who isn't.. Check to see if you Hosting company is on the REALTIME BLACKHOLE LIST. If they are there, be assured
you will have mail problems.... maps is at mail-abuse.org

Issue #3
Market Saturation

Answer: TRAFFIC TRAFFIC TRAFFIC
The BEST way to increase revenues is to increase TRAFFIC. The only way to tell if it works is to install a cookie type tracking system to see if you
are making money from your advertising source... Let's look at a tgp listing link... http://mygallerypage.com/june01?tgpsitename
Now break this down... mygallerypage.com[site] june01[directoryforthatgallery](track what girls sell this way by day) ?tgpsitename[Varible information to pass telling you if this person signs up where they saw you at!!! Now you have traffic quality control.. However just because a link doesn't se
ll doesn't mean tgp traffic sucks... It means you don't know how to sell on it... or HIGHER LISTINGS DO SELL, getting a low listing is just going t
o burn your bandwidth bills up.. Unless you found a good freehost to push galleries off of.... You can also do this with your paid search engine tra
ffic....

:-) Just remember to smile and have fun at this....

Oh yeah and Server Stabilty is a very complex topic, so I'll give you a few case studies....

Mirrored Server. Simply put why have just one server, doesn't cost much to store a second server on the wire... Have Server 1 RSYNC to Server 2 ever
y hour...... (Rsync is a tool commonly used is UNIX to sync data between servers) If your first server ever dies, bind the ip to the second and traf
fic will instantly appear on the second server....just remember change the ip on the first server!

DNS RoundRobin. 4 Servers. 3 Server WEB and 1 for centralizing your databases to. Add a .htpasswd copy feature that runs every minute and let your
servers sync every 5 minutes.... Just sync you WWW files directory. If one webserver fails bind ip to second and your up and running again. Also re
member to sync you database server to the other 3 to take over his functions in the event of him dying!!! Very nice for CPU intesive sites.... I hav
e pushed 90Mbps on a single server (Cat 5)(Pushing Video Clips) and over 350Mbps on single server using (FIBER) I was running backups of a server far
m....(ALL HAVE VERY MINIMAL LATENCY, basically a web user would see a fast site.

Clustering Configuration... I am not even going to touch this here... I could write for days..... ;-)

Anyway I'm stupid, I don't even know why my mother let me live..... but I'll be around for a little if anyone wants to ask some questions or tell me
to gofuckmyself... and don't yell at me for my spelling!

We can alway chat about how modrewrite is a gallery posters best friend....

Fletch XXX · 08-30-2002, 09:20 AM

Thats like the best post ever man!

whyaskwhy · 08-30-2002, 09:22 AM

why thank you fletch.

whyaskwhy · 08-30-2002, 09:56 AM

Just bumping this thread cause an education is a scary thing....

:-)

wonton · 08-30-2002, 10:00 AM

whyaskwhy · 08-30-2002, 10:16 AM

ahhhh.... secrets... fuck it

Ok, it's not an unknown fact that people steal gallery listings.. This fucks with tracking control and other things...... Also you'd be surprised as to how many hits your old galleries get from people blind directory surfing... Well try this....

After you galleries fall off... Give it a week or so.... Plus these damn email groups....

add a .htaccess file to your directory jun01 as in the first post.

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} yahoo.groups.com [OR,NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} istealgallys.com [NC]

RewriteRule /* http://somesite.com/nopicsjustsite/index.html [R,L]

Now anything containing will automatically block yahoo.groups.com as a referer from viewing your gally pages... It is set to allow all and only if it shows proper refer will it redirect... This way no risk of tgp site you listed at getting pissed..

opps one more thingy
#RewriteCOnd %{HTTP_REFERER} ^http://istealgallys.com/.*$ [OR,NC]

^=anything before showing in refer will match.
.*$=anything after will match.
OR=or this rule
NC=Not Case sensitive

Switch it to a global block after your listings fall off and contact any tgps you want to stay friends with....tell them I am now blocking this gallery.

whyaskwhy · 08-30-2002, 10:28 AM

Well I'll check back here in a couple of hours just to see if this thread stays alive... A shame that info like this always falls through the cracks...

:-) Best of luck

whyaskwhy · 08-30-2002, 11:14 AM

I am not feeling alot of love here.....

I just tried to write a thread and it dies... maybe I should have titled it Brittany Spears caught taking it in the ass.....

:-)

Basically I just wanted to bump the thread again...

whyaskwhy · 08-30-2002, 12:06 PM

Another useful tool...
Know your refers and mail the report to view every hour.
Let's call this referdaemon.sh
Oh yeah, this is for a standard apache log on unix, you might need to change the field positioning print $11 to the proper field for referers..

#!/bin/sh

PATH=/bin:/sbin:/usr/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/adm/bin
TAIL=`which tail`
GREP=`which grep`
SORT=`which sort`
UNIQ=`which uniq`
AWK=`which awk`

cd /var/log/httpd [location of log directory}

$TAIL -n 40000 mywebsiteslogfile.com.log >test.log
cat test.log |$AWK '{print $11}' >refererreport
cat refererreport |$SORT -rn |$UNIQ -c |$SORT >test
cat test |$GREP -v "mywebsite.com" >hoap [this will remove your own domain refering to itself]
cat hoap |$GREP -v "\"-\"" >refers [this will remove direct requests]
cat refers |mail -s "Refer Report" [email protected]

Just setup a root cron to run referdeamon.sh every hour and you are set.

:-)

BlackRain · 08-30-2002, 12:59 PM

Cool!

whyaskwhy · 08-30-2002, 01:06 PM

Well it's friday and it's 4:00pm ... I am off to roll one up and head down to the pub...

It's a shame nobody had any questions or at least some critics trying to rip me apart... I wanted to have some fun and help people today... I still wonder if anyone actually wants to talk about the adult industry here.. seems like MLB and M&Ms are more important then tools and skill sets required to make it in the online adult biz....

Well it's been real and I wish every cat here gets what they wish for...

Final note...

Becareful of what you wish for, you just might get it.....

A comment about fixedorbit, Because of how they grab their info (from various open public route-servers). It will not catch all of any given carrier's bgp sessions.
