Back in 1999-2001 I would have said, exclusive content doesn’t matter. It seemed like anything that said “porn” on it sold. Then from around 2002-2007 exclusive became an important word.  There was a lot of porn out there and the thinking was that surfers wanted to join a site where they couldn’t find the content anywhere else. But since 2008 exclusive or non exclusive isn’t a big deal since you can find so-called ‘exclusive’ videos all over the tubes anyway. Now what matters is this: does the paysite beat the tubes in terms of being a quality site? It’s amazing how few paysites are better than most tubes out there. Forget about exclusive content, you should promote sites that have daily updates and niche content, that’s the kind of site that will always sell.

So what kind of free site is okay? Well there is still room for a free site market, but you’ve got to have more content than that. First, forget the warning page. Your main page is the most important page, both for surfers and for search engines. On this page you should have thumbs which lead to galleries you host and a short paragraph (a review perhaps). So something like 5-10 pages, 20 images per page. This means lots more work but at least nobody can say this is not a quality site that adds something to the web. The days of creating a page full of ads and getting traffic are long gone.

The free site model is dead and has been dead for years already. Maybe in 1999 this may have been a good idea. But this whole format of a warning page followed by a main page which has a link to 2 galleries, with each one having 10-20 images. It is completely predictable and quite boring. There’s no need to have a warning page and main page, surfers are only looking for the gallery pages after all. This concept was a bad idea right from the start.

Just this afternoon I finished completely re-doing my wife’s computer. It was so infcted with virus’s, it would not work at all, I could only boot in to safe mode, that was it. I was and am still so pissed. If I’d ever come across some one who passes this crap on to people’s computers, I’d beat the crap out of them at the very least.

To make it even more fun, I had like 30 gig of pictures and family stuff to get off before I could wipe it clean. I could not even get the pc to boot into safe mode with networking, nor would the pc see my external usb backup drive. My wifes pc is a newer Dell with a SATA hard drive, so the extra hard drives I had laying around didn’t exactly hook up. I was reduced to uploading to a SD card in a card reader, plugged into the USB port. Talk about taking forever..

Seems few people realize how devistating these viruses can be, until it happens to them.

What I don’t understand is, why the practice of installing software on some ones computer without their knowledge or consent, is not Illegal? Or is technology moving too fast? Just now, years later are spammers finally getting busted. Seems to me the virus kings need to get taken down as well. Am I wrong?
