Life is full of questions...

Hullo, my wittle newbie kids!

Good to see you're working together.

Now...in no particular order:

Counters - don't use them. They're a traffic leak. All hosts give you stats, use those. (Remember: any link on your page has to bring you either $$ or traffic. These say they're going to bring you traffic, but they won't. They'll just give your surfers a nice flashy hardcore thing to click on instead of your banners.) Counters went the way of the dinosaur.

Traffic trades: it's simple. You ask. You send a tgp (I'm assuming) a nice email - compliment their site, etc. - and ask if they'd like to exchange links. You tell them what page you want to trade links on. (Main page, submit page, etc.) As a courtesy, you can put their link up first. However, if you don't receive a response or if the answer is no, take the damned link down fast, as you've just created a traffic leak. Also, pay attention to where *your* link appears on their site. If they give you a bottom of their main page link, make sure you give them a bottom of *your* main page link. If you go to http://www.freeplelinks.com/ and see where I've set up "Freeple's People's" that's going to be a "top of the main page" link trade for people who give me a good placement on their sites. That's where their link will go. However, I will also be adding a "More Freeple's Peoples!" table at the bottom for tgps who put their link exchanges on the bottom. Basically, make it *fair.* (There's nothing at all insulting with being put at the bottom of someone's main page. Remember: you're new. You *won't* be sending a lot of traffic to these people yet, and they know it. Top spaces are reserved for the bigger tgps who can get them surfers.) If you get a link, send a nice "thank you" email. Remember - in this business, traffic and GOOD WILL are both important.

Always make sure that your nick is associated with good manners and most of all, professionalism.

1. Right now no one even knows about it, so don’t sweat it. Work on it online/offline it’s no biggie. Unless you’ve got links pointing at it. Then the priority is the bookmarkers, this isn’t a free site (as Morgan has covered), get some content up and the lack of banners will actually be a good thing.

2. 404 traffic is surfers looking for something that either did exist and doesn’t now or they’re just poking around your site using the “pray and hope” methods i.e: you’ve 20 pics on 01.html – 20.html, they might type 21.html, it doesn’t exist so they’ll get the standard “The page you’re looking for…“ message, use some .htaccess and control that traffic:

RewriteEngine on
RewriteOptions inherit
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^$
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://.*YOUR-DOMAIN.com/.*$ [NC]

ErrorDocument 404 http://www.YOUR-DOMAIN.com/ANYTHING-YOU-WANT.html

3. YES! You just need to start adding sub folders:

http://www.YOUR-DOMAIN.com/index.html could be the start/hub/tgp
http://www.YOUR-DOMAIN.com/mature-milf-anal/index.html is a new site completely – mature/milf tgp or free site. You can make millions of these.

4. I’ve never used any of these “services”.
5. I’m not a tech guy .
6. Morgan has covered this very nicely.
7. You don’t need them, again Morgan has covered this. These counters are for the big guns that need to show what they’ve got.
8. 23 mph from what I hear – but are you talking about the European Swallow or the North American

Well, obviously it's a North American swallow because it's in miles per hour, the only thing Europeans (and Brits) use mph to mean is milliliters per hour when they refer to how much their drinking.
