over time. My first site was a free hosted one but soon after Twat (if you remember him then you now get my sarcasm) closed his free host I got smart and registered for a VPS hosting account and built my sites up again.

I started in 2002 when I bought my 1st domain and shared hosting at godaddy. I launched an Adultcheck AVS site using Frontpage. Now there is no more AVS, no more Frontpage, and godaddy no longer makes 1 cent off me.

Oh and the most important thing, sponsors were buying clicks and exit traffic for insane rates. As in up to 25C a unique click and $13 cpm exit traffic.

Voyeur was selling but not in that any more, too much drama about voyeur porn. I moved on to other niches.

well link trading was my thing until 2018 then it became pointless so I started doing blogs and learning ( I say learning because I have not got that good yet) seo.

It was a big mistake starting my blogs on a free host most of you will not remember the host, it was run by a guy Twan, he closed it without a peep, I lost all my blogs. Now I have built up a nice network of them on my own domains and hosting accounts.

The usual start a blog, then a few more, then trade links.....then starting selling links, one day I got sick and tired of buying links and sellers de-linking them so did my own thing started selling links from trusted sites to people for a 20% mark up, I then got into selling banner spots and traffic.

I never used his hosting but I have heard of him through others here.

From marketing herbal pills as an affiliate to blogging mainly cam sites, that's my history in this.
