My weekend History Lesson

[TheEnforcer]

I actually liked the flat boards. It did make it harder to keep up but I still enjoyed it. Like the threaded boards better now but have fond memories of the old flat boards.

Any of us would piss off 99 surfers to convert 1 in 100 ;-)

Well my next question was going to be how many bookmarkers porno.com has...
******************************

Here is the more important stat....

When I bought porno.com it got 6500 daily Type ins....

Now it gets in excess of 25,000 daily Type Ins

I want FRESH eyes EVERY day. Me and sponsor will always make more money that way.

If all 25,000 came back EVERY day.......how much would that translate to in business??

Fresh eyes are the KEY.

I don't convert http://www.oprano.com/msgboard/images/smilies/blink.gif

Although I have been known to tell off a client here and there every now and again, sometimes they remain clients, sometimes they don't, but there is only so much I am going to take from a customer and even less I am going to take from a "potential customer".

But Jen has been known to piss off a few here and there and when I ask her why she ended up being rude she says "What do I care, they weren't gonna buy anything, they just wanted to be bitchy" http://www.oprano.com/msgboard/images/smilies/ok.gif

The customer is always right, except when he's not.

Then what do you base this supposed lesson on? If you dont convert then I dont understand. "Us" meant everyone else?

Help me understand...I hear a lot of "glittering generalisms" like that dickhead over on the Zoo talking about newsgroups having TOS agreement.

Are you talking out your ass too?

That was a quote from Vick back in 2001 and back then I was learning the biz and how to convert a surfer to a sale, so back then it was an "us".

It wasn't my quote, it was Vick's. I believe it was meant to be funny and reflected the attitude of the webmasters on the board back in 2001, as did the quote from Serge and webfather, although I find webmasters "fresh faces" to ring very true.

And, a 1:100 conversion would still be a decent conversion today for many folks.

All I was saying was just because it was a flat board does not mean there wasn't a shitload of good reading there, whether you agree with it or not.

Just out of curiosity, has Serge always bitched about the same thing, even way back then?

And I believe the main lesson from Vick's quote is that the ones that are important are the one's that buy.

You can waste a shitload of time trying to cater to everyone under the sun. The only ones that matter are the ones that buy.

Only 1:100 or less conversions Ive seen in the past 2 years have been from SE traffic.

I would love to know who the moron was that decided selling a cookie eraser was a good thing for adult webmasters to do
