I was thinking back today and I remembered that in '98 when hubby and I were thinking about getting into porn webmastering, we actually DID sign up to an affiliate program.
It was one of those "it will be YOUR paysite, you build your own front end or just use one of ours" things. And I actually got 2 people to join/sign up under me (Sare - it was Jace and BigTwistee, hehehe). I can't even remember what company it was (I just remember everything having a black background) and of course I never received a check. I only got credit for one join, too.

I wonder if I could go back through my old OLD email archives and hunt that down. Hrmm.

Anyhow after the second join didn't show up still after 3 days I figured it was a scam and didn't do anything else with it, or any other porn.
:headwall:

I got a lot of sites listed in Yahoo back in the day using the old trick but I wish I had set up a sweatshop of people submitting sites.

Eve, do you remember who gave you that tip ??

Yup, same here, believe it or not in the early 90's domains were actually free. I kick my own ass daily for not grabbing tons of them.

Of course back then it was a pain in the ass to find a place to park them too or anyone who even remotely understood DNS.

My first one was free, but I paid something like $40 a month for dial up UUCP email transfer and that only included one domain. ISPs of the day tilted their head and looked at you funny if you wanted two.

What really is ashame I remember when Network Solutions was charging $70 or so to register a domain. Looking at today's prices boy did we get fleeced.

Then again $70 isn't a lot for some of the domains that were sitting around at the time unregistered yet.

It was you darling!! Plus after the Yahoo trick stopped working I would call this one editor and flirt with him and he would list my rejected sites ;)

slavdogg 11-26-2003 02:39 AM

i always hear people bringing up domains and early days.
yes most of the great domains were reged before 99

BUT 2 of the biggest domainers are making their money from domains they reged after 2000. Excluding top 100 overall domains, i would say more money has been made from domains reged after 2000 than before.
