Can you guys post your questions before I email this to everyone?
==============================================

ClickPic program Good news and Bad News

Quick Summary:
-------------
CTC has been replaced with a higher-paying system, wait for old data to become available.


The Bad News:
------------
As you know, CTC has been down almost every day for a long while, with lost clicks, lost data, and no ability for us to fix it because we don't run it.

Now the CTC server is toast. The program is too big, there are too many webmasters for it, it uses old-fashioned custom log file analysis, and the people who wrote the software haven't worked there for 4 years. The log file analyzers just pin the server and don't allow any reports or anything else to run. CTC replaced the server and it made things worse.


The Good News:
-------------
We have replaced the CTC system with our own and it is running great and counting your clicks right now. Highlights include:

1. State of the art SQL databases and software, & hardware that is only using 2% of the cpu.

2. Real-time stats, no lost clicks, higher counts.

3. NO CHANGE in your linking or stats urls necessary.


More Good News:
--------------
1. We're giving every one 6 cents a click this month, and possibly next month too, as we are not displaying tracks yet. Send us all your traffic (follow the rules of course).

2. We're also going to give you 8 cents starting tomorrow for a week.


Other Important News:
--------------------
1. We pointed all CTC traffic to the new system yesterday, but we are waiting for the DNS change to propagate everywhere, this should take another day to be 98% done, some obscure hosts can take weeks to update their dns servers.

2. Your new stats are up now. There are no stats before yesterday. We will be retreiving stats from the old CTC system when it becomes available. You WILL be paid on every clickthru.

3. If your own PC still points to the old ctc, you can simply put a "1" after the ctc subdomain and reach the new one, as in
http://ctc1.amateurpages.com/cgi-bin...ts.cgi?ACCOUNT You can also change your links to ctc1 to avoid the dns propagation issue and all clicks will go the new system right away, but this is not really necessary.

4. Your account data, including referrers is being imported. Please be patient.

5. We cannot get a payout detail report from CTC, we've been trying since the 1st of June. We have summary reports and have already done payouts as accurately as possible from those reports. If you have any problems after you get your check, drop me an email: [email protected]

I got to the part where it said 6 cents for the month. I'll add more links for you and continue reading.....:)

wooo no more ctc!

:glugglug

What about referrals of other webmasters under me. I do not see any link to that area. Will I still get paid 1 cent per click they generate ?

That's real good to here. Time to crank the traffic!

This may be a good month afterall!

4. Your account data, including referrers is being imported. Please be patient.

That looks great, I'm EXTREMELY happy that we get to keep our referrers, that's great news.

Lens, you are a God !!! :)

Did checks still get sent out on the 10th or later?

What exactly is summary reports?

Will there be password protected stats later on?

THE CTC DRAGON HAS BEEN SLAYED!

finally..reliable service

god save calvin!!

LONG LIVE CALVIN!!!!!

Password protection will be added when your account details get imported.

:thumbsup

Egggsellenttttttt. New stats look great.

Calvin just did a death roll.

I have been working on this like a mad man to try and bring stuff back online. We are open to suggestions on how to improve the stats area, so please post your comments..

I still have a lot of work to do on the new system, but all requests will be given consideration.

I hope you like the new system!

Please be patient while I comb the old ctc server to get your old data...... leave poor Ram alone, he is ready for a nervous break down since this started.... LOL

the new stat page loads great...faster than its ever run..nice job..and thanks AP..you guys are OK!:thumbsup

Ok this sounds like good news since I don't have to change any of my link codes -- Lensman is definitely a nice guy to be able to figure out how to do that ;)

My only complaint is that everyone that was at $.04 gets $.06 -- wow that's great for them but I'm always at $.06 for like the last 2 years -- so I guess there's no real bonus for me except for the special $.08 days ;)

I like the graduated system that ScoresCash has -- they have a really nice graduated payout -- anything better than 1:400 is $.12 and 1:700 or better is $.07, etc. etc. I'm about 1:350 with them... Also you get credit for clicks on the exits! So if you are just sending traffic to one of their sites you get credit for the exit clicks to all the other sites + I'm pretty sure you get exit credit for $webmaster$ clicks...

Wow and I am 99% sure that these new stats load MUCH faster!

Holy shit and the stats get counted in realtime!!!

That is fucking cool!!!

Mike is the man.

The bonus for you is that the new count will be more accurate and higher than the old one.

GREAT news Lensman.

Luckily I was right that this shit was going on since May 24th, it really dropped as of that date. You told me it should be better cause they changed servers, I guess not :winkwink:

Congrats on the good move!

Well that's good news... I will be a happy happy FLY.

Hopefully LightningFree won't burn out the other 98% of your CPU eheh... j/k

:thumbsup

Time to elimated all other sponsers off my site....

ONLY AP NOW :)

Back about a 1.5 years ago -- that was exactly my strategy and I was living pretty well... I rented a nice house for a while in FL (damn I still miss it!), bought a new car -- then decided to move to the ocean in LA in Venice Beach -- landlord sold my house ;( ... anyway I think around last year I started using more sponsors besides AP to balance things out because I didn't think as many of the clicks were being counted as in the good ol' days... Boneprone remembers -- we were AP whores back then. AP was better than the old Casting Couch site by that SweetT guy -- Club100 or some shit -- then Amateur Beaver and Amateur Pie came up and we pretty much milked the Amateur thing for as much money as we could ;)

If anyone knows the answer to this before I get a reply to my email then it would be great!

Can you use the text in the tour of amateur pages to promote them? Of course with a pic of the chick and links...

Im talking about this text:

We met Gayle at a night club, her friends had stood her up so we kept her company and even talked her into coming back to a private after-party. She was hitting it off pretty well with one of the Amateur Pages staff guys that was with us, so it wasn't a hard sell. In fact she was pretty cool about the idea of what we do, and asked if she had the goods to be on our site. What do you think?

We put her through the AP process, but our guy decided she needed to prove herself in a slightly more advanced arena. She was all for it, and we got the proof with our trusty digital camera in their series together.

Check out what Gayle brings to our table, and enjoy the full spread in her Private Amateur Pages.


Is that ok or do I have to make a story for each chick by myself?

Ahh yes, the good old days. I remember when I used to wait for those AP checks in the mail every month almost always having enough to but a me Big Mac, hell sometimes I would even have enough left over for a Hot Fudge Sundae! Oh those were the days!

Lens, for what it's worth. Here in the Netherlands your DNS records are updated. On the OLD URL it looks great (= almost the same, but a little improved), plus it is MUCH faster!!

Clicks look good too:)

AP bought my first car, my first playstation & rented my first apartment back in the day :thumbsup

Hey, where did my set of keys go? I'm gonna need wheels after paying out all this extra cash.

Yes, it looks like the DNS is about 80% propagated, that's great.
