A little but not as much as I'd like.

:1orglaugh

Obviously you didn't read what I wrote. I use to make over 3k a month. I am not new at this.

This is quite a good thread, I know there are a LOT of people here on GFY that despite their big talk don't even make 1k a month who could benefit hugely from this thread.

Mike you got icq? Or skype (for text only)?

I will turn on my ICQ Tuesday for anyone that wants to chat.

why some people are laughing on stats, you should help mike to make better results and not piss

Anyone else have a good 4th? Seems like cams sales shot up yesterday and today.

That much traffic sent to the program in my sig and you would be ballin! If you have teen traffic join and hit me up ill get you anything you need to promote..

Most of my traffic is amateur traffic.

whats your icq mike?

The best way for anyone to get in touch with me is through my hotmail account. harddvdforsale @ hotmail.com

That's really useful thread! Thanks to all, but most of all to you Thurbs for very valuable info!
And good luck to you Mike with your goal!:)

here is your main problem

error on line 4

40 sales 130 bucks

what kind of trash is this?

That's streamray. I'm moving towards other cam sponsors in the future.

I will do an update after the 10th. Sales are moving up this month.

I'll wait for your updated info. Curious to see the results:)

Yeap.. first thing I noticed.. that is beyond fucked ...... I really have no words for that ... anyways, I really do hope Mike has a link management system in place cause I've seen many people doing blogs and linking straight up to the tours and I am guessing that if they wnated to change their ref codes from pps to revs that would be a total bitch.....

no hard feelings mike, it was just a funny post

Hi Dear Mike,

i also don't do tgps don't feel like doing though, so in my openion Your direction is fine.

i m in this biz since 2001 and didn't even build one fuckin tgp even though i sometime thinkin to try one.

i always delt with SE Traffic, so i should say i have not much clue about tgps other then knowing how does it work.

What's Your icq? Your words made me think that we may be do a nice cooperation together.

Cheers.
C.A

can You suggest any link management system for wordpress? actually i use adman for management of ads, but it doesn't mess the links inside of posts, so i need one actually.

Stats from the 1st to 10th only

It's to hard to say what this month will be like as I'm trying to get more work done and concentrate more on SE traffic than just submitting acceptable looking blogs to the directories.

Traffic is up a little but it's to early to say if I am moving forward or just treading water.

Also if a program isn't designed to rebill I'm not going to be interested much in pushing it. I remember the days when I could get a %200 or higher rebill rate on sponsors that updated their sites. It seems that my old sponsors aren't doing that well and I'm in the process of finding new ones.

how is two last days is doing for you? My ratios dropped from 1:1000 to 1:3000 :\ based on 17-18k daily to sponsors

when you push webcams your ratios tend to be higher but the sales are lower so I can't really compare my stats to yours. I definitely see a drop in earnings per surfer. It just seems like they don't want to spend anymore.

maybe they "can't" spend more because of the declining cards..

Could be but we are all in the same boat and I have to compare what I'm doing with other webmasters and from what I hear I'm doing pretty badly compared to a lot of them.

$43 a day from 13k page views sounds pretty good to me... with a typical TGP you'd be lucky to make $10.

Is it difficult managing all of the splogs? Can you add more?

I don't manage them. I just submit them to the directories and forget. I have over 20k blog posts saved in txt files. I'm actually thinking of reposting them to larger blogs and then doing some abc trading with thunderball.

Ok, I was thinking more along the lines of - how much work do these need, and can you do more of it?

I think I can probably do twice the work I do now but the problem is directory submitting. You can only submit one blog a day to the good directories and they track by ip. If you ever get caught cheating them they will remove all your blogs and ban you.

Mike, sorry to say but since seeing this thread, and watching your posting habits, I think the first step is you need to be posting a lot less on the boards and spending that time on your sites.

I can see a few instances in this thread where you have been offered some help from people I know are absolutely rock solid, but you seem to have pretty much just ignored their advice or glossed over them.

And let me just say... by and large directory submitting is a mug's game. Exchanging a front page quality root domain link for page12345678 half way down the 50 links ... unless you are going to stick to free hosts (which I STRONGLY advise against), you need to start building real backlinks to your sites. Directories are the lowest of the low when it comes to building bl's to your blogs, use them if you have nothing else.

Still interesting thread. When are you planning to update your stats next time, Mike?

I will post stats again on the 20th.

As of the 20th. I have over $950 in sales. Looks like I will hit over $1500 this month. Hopefully when I get my new laptop I can do better than this.

congrats :thumbsup

Keep on truckin :)

I really think I will get over 2k a month very soon.

Congrats bro ! Thats very good job !

Chargebacks are really pissing me off.

not trying to be a dick but think about how much the free hosting all your blogs are on your making $$$... im sure its more then hosting would cost u a month.... this is a biz if your in it to make money its going to cost you something 2c

Most of the most sucessful people I know in this biz have thousands of freehosted blogs. As long as you avoid the ones that have more than one text link on them I don't see the problem. I've tested my own traffic on my own blogs before and the click through rate on most AFF text adds is only %1-%3

what happens when that free host has made enough and shuts down or sells to someone that redirects all the blogs? your broke... think about it man peeps are trying to help u here

fyi i used to fun a free host and shut it down for my own reasons... im sure people weren't happy but its a risk u run not having your own hosting :2 cents:

I'm probably stating something that you're already well aware of, but using pps at streamray/cams.com would've made you a hell of a lot more. I'm not 100% sure how their pay scale works pps vs recurring, but even 2 premium sales at $75 per would have made you more. 40 premium sales is what? $4,000?

Like thurbs said in his most excellent post, go pps until you get some working capital.

Those free host links are costing you money. If those links are unrelated to your blog's content, they are creating confusion - with your surfers and with SE's. Free hosts can be - and often are - shut down on a whim. Then your $1,400 magically turns into $0 real fast.

Lose the free hosts. Seriously. Take 10% of your income, get a dedicated server, make a few quality sites, use your existing free hosteds to feed those sites. Your free hosted links to sponsors WILL disappear one day. Better to funnel the traffic to sites that you control.

I appreciate your honesty in posting your stats, but you will never have real, sustainable success until you have control over your own sites. Right now your livelihood is at the mercy of a person you've never met.

That, to me, is terrifying.

All it takes to have free hosting vanish is one too many nasty support requests or bitch and moan emails. Don't like free? Want to complain? How do you like none? Buh-bye.

You don't even have to do the complaining. Maybe someone else bitched often enough - or hacked the server - and the freehost admin thinks "fuck this" and shuts the whole thing down. Regardless, your work is now gone.

One day you will wake up and all of those free sites will either be gone, or be butchered beyond recognition. The chance of this happening is 100%.

I did the same thing. I had a small freehost (didn't allow tgp or link site submissions) and some asshat thought it would be a good idea to constantly bitch. Then the POS thought it would be a good idea to hack the server. Then EVERYONE bitched.

I shut them all off. Took me about ten seconds to destroy about 100 people's work. 90% of the sites had no traffic to speak of, but still...

Having some ethics, I didn't steal or redirect their surfers. I posted a plain white page that said "So long and thanks for all the fish". Then I let the domain expire.

THAT was a stupid thing to do.

Adult Link Management ---> AdultLinkExchange.com - It works!

Mike who? Im having issues- I think its recession shaving.

I am over $1,500 this month now - with my limited traffic (38224 uniques) - 50% from camsites. So "Yey"! to me!! :)
Next month 2k, then 3k - next year by this time I will have a gold tooth and and a MAC! :1orglaugh

um hoping i can do that kind ok sales thats great!!!!

Hit $1310 last night.

I have a domain that is almost 15 years old that I haven't been using.

Porn-kingdom.com

What about setting up wordpress Mu and making a copy of all my freehosted blogs on it. Do you think I could submit all my subdomains to directories and double my traffic?
