Members
Areas Revamps: Some
of you may have noticed we have had a few reviews done on
our site of late. This has served numerous purposes for us
with the main one being a non biased look at the sites and
how we can improve. Now we could sit here and cry about the
small amount of criticism we received, or get off our backsides
and do something about it. We have chosen to do the latter.
The main issues seen with our sites was Navigation within
the members area and the video files. As a result these 2
areas will undergo a complete revamp over the next few weeks.
Epassporte Payouts Now Available: Our
Epassporte Account is up and running. We are encouraging you
to select this over Check due to issues with Check Payments.
If you keep your payout level at $250 we will also cover the
setup fee with Epassporte. Payouts as low as $50 will be accepted
under Epassporte, however payments under $100 will incur the
Epassporte payment fee of $2. See
below for full details !!!
Password
By Phone Now Online: Well it
is here. Another Processor for CuriousCash. I tell you what
with all the different processors we have there should be
no reason for a sale to be missed.
Affiliates get FULL credit through MPA3 for ALL
PasswordByPhone sales !!!
Geo
Targetting: At CuriousCash we do our best
to make every dollar possible out of the traffic that comes
in. Due to this we have finally implemented Geo Targeting
on our sites. We have worked closely with PasswordbyPhone
on this and have now implemented Custom Pages for specific
Countires not known for Credit Card Traffic with FULL AFFILIATE
CREDIT!
New
Odd Sized Banners: A few new odd sized banners
have been added into the Marketing Material for our Premium
Sites.
New
Video Feed for Premium Sites: Thanks to the
guys at HardGayFeeds.com we have the new Czech Boys Feed available
in all of our Premium Sites. Just another little thing we
are doing to hold onto those valuable customers
and improve our already impressive retention !!
Addition
of MyVirtualCard and OPSBilling: Well
we got OPSBilling online, only to be informed that OPSBilling
and 365Billing will soon work together as one company instead
of two so we have to start again. Expect this all online over
the next few weeks. MVC is available on a couple of sites
with the rest to roll out shortly.
CuriousCinema:
Due to the endless problems getting the streaming
and download options available within MPA3 we have decided
to make a few modifications to the way CuriousCinema works.
Expect these to come online just prior to
Florida Internext.
IPOD
SITE: Still waiting on that
damn script. Processor promises we will have it this week.
We will keep you posted !!
Chargeback
Fees: Now we all
know that credit card chargeback's are the ball and chain
of our industry. Changes in our processing arrangements,
which have increased returns under the cascading billing feature
of MPA3, have also hit us pretty hard when it comes to chargeback's
- even though our chargeback rates are amongst the lowest
in the industry. Unfortunately, as and from 16th January,
whilst we have been able to increase revshare returns (see
box below), we have also had to introduce a fee to the affiliate
of $15 per chargeback. This is well short of what it
costs us in real terms, and we have absorbed the remainder.
Again we apologize, but we cannot dictate terms to the processors
and banks.

DOMINIC
The
sports Dominic plays including Ice Hockey and Lacrosse have
fashioned a strong good looking body that springs into action
as soon as a video of a nude girl is played. His modest
flaccid cock grows and grows expanding into a Big Cock that
spurts it big load after been stimulated for only a short
time. Dom is originally from Canada but now lives down under
in Australia. Now we will try to get him to do a Gloryhole
shoot. Watch this space.

STRIKER
We
got so many of our members saying “ Get Striker to
the Glory Hole” Well that exactly what we have done.
Dirty Dave was salivating at the prospects of sucking this
young sportsman big knob. Once in Dave’s mouth he
chewed on it for over an hour causing Striker to shoot his
hot load not once but twice, you have to see this !!

JACK
Jack has been playing Rugby League for many
years and enjoys hanging out with his mates on the weekend.
He would love to travel to Hawaii for the surf and girls.
Jack
was really enjoying himself during the shoot and it wasn’t
long before I got him to slip out of his clothes. He was
comfortable and started to get into the lesbian porn playing
on the television. Unfortunately he got a bit shy and didn’t
want to finish the shoot. Oh well, you win some and you
loose some.

Why
are you able to offer lower payouts with Epassporte compared
to other methods of Payment?
The reason this is, is the costs associated are very small.
When we issue a wire there is bank fees on our end and on
yours so it does not make it viable to payout less then
$250, unless you want to kiss most of your payout goodbye
in fees. With Checks if we were based in the US this would
be fine, however as we are not there is also quite a few
fees associated with these, plus alot of banks will not
accept the checks under $250. With Epassporte we don't have
to deal with Banks so the whole process is simple and efficient.
Personally I would recommend anyone who is a small to medium
size affiliate to look at this method and if you don't have
an account and are willing to select your first payout to
be above $250 then we will also cover the setup costs for
you.

FREE TOOLS FOR WEBMASTERS
Aside from content, the
most important factor that will distinguish one adult site
from another is the site’s design and overall feeling.
If a site looks mediocre, well then, how important can it
be? If a website is flashy and slick and stands out, it has
a better chance of being taken seriously and drawing in repeat
customers.
Even though most websites
are based on HTML, in today’s online adult environment,
many additional functions are needed to maintain and manage
a full-featured adult website. These functions require more
than simply HTML to be implemented. They require languages
that can communicate with databases, perform encryption
and initiate complex graphical commands.
The open-source language of choice for HTML scripting is
PHP, an open-source language developed in 1995. The acronym
means Personal Home Page. PHP originally was designed to
be a forms interpreter to use for programming tasks that
can’t be done with HTML. Today there are free PHP
scripts for almost everything an adult webmaster can imagine.
Slide Shows and DRM Scripts
A slide show is a series of pictures that appear in a particular
sequence. Sometimes a free slide show is a good way to lure
customers to your site. You can display your erotic content
in sequences and update them with ease. In most cases, a
slide show will allow the user to navigate through a series
of images; therefore, buttons and frames and control of
these objects are necessary and go beyond what HTML can
effectively do. PHPSlideShow is one such free script offering
what will allow you to create slideshows. You can download
this product at www.zinkwazi.com.
Video content, though inherently more sophisticated than
a slide show, actually is easier to display, since HTML
has inherent commands to evoke video players on a customer’s
PC, such as Apple’s QuickTime. Yet scripting still
comes into play when you seek a higher level of protection
for your digital property, thus using digital rights management
services. Microsoft offers an expensive DRM package that
runs on Windows platforms, yet within the open-source community
there are free content management systems (CMS) that allow
webmasters to protect video and other online material.
Two popular variations of open source CMS packages are PHPNuke
and PostNuke. These tools allow you to protect your content
primarily through storing content in a database such as
MySQL or Interbase. The advantage of CMS software is that
it is portal software, meaning that it automatically allows
you to build websites and manage them without the need to
know complex HTML. You can download PHPNuke for free at
www.phpnuke.org
and PostNuke, which runs on Windows, for free at www.postnuke.com.
Another good open source CMS package is OpenCMS, which is
implemented through Java and XML technology instead of PHP.
One advantage of OpenCMS is that it is compatible with more
commercial databases such as Oracle or SQL Server. You can
download OpenCMS for free at www.opencms.org.
Membership Databases
Many startup adult websites use a third party to track membership,
password and payment information. If you want do that yourself,
you should use an open source database to store your membership
and credit card data. If you are communicating to a database,
you probably also will want to utilize PHP as the database
interface to your HTML web pages.
Instead of reinventing the wheel and writing a PHP interface
to a database, there are many scripts already written for
that purpose. One of the best websites for PHP scripts,
organized by category, is www.hotscripts.com.
Not only can webmasters find database interface scripts
but also e-commerce scripts and even a category for matchmaking
and live chat.
Another good PHP scripting site is www.phpworld.com.
PHPworld contains many useful articles on the basics of
hooking your web page to a relational database such as MySQL
or the Oracle RDBMS.
Adult Blogs
These days blogs are all the rage, and in the adult industry
the blog is an important tool when customers become attached
to different girls or guys who appear in online content.
Video and slide show interfaces don’t really give
an adult website the personal touch; you need models keeping
diaries and sharing their amorous thoughts with potential
customers. This will ensure more repeat business and create
a more intimate bond between your content and your customers.
A great free blogging resource is www.fatscripts.com.
Yet beware, some of the blogging scripts at FatScripts are
shareware and need to be purchased. One of the best free
blogging tools is PluggedOut Blog. This interface allows
for visitor comments, comes with many predefined templates
and is RSS 2.0 compatible, thus allowing for XML publishing.
You can download this tool directly at www.pluggedout.com.
Live Chat
Many fun adult websites have live chat forums. These forums
are essentially realtime blogs where groups of people chat
together in a central “room.” The most popular
chat forums are those of AOL, Yahoo and ICQ, but you can
easily start a chat forum at your own adult site. Have a
few of your models invite in customers, and then just talk
it up. Just like with blogs, this will create a friendlier
atmosphere within your website and will supercharge your
content.
There are many free PHP scripts at the sites mentioned above
for creating your own live chatrooms. One popular tool is
PHPOpenChat. This software allows for moderators, password-protected
chatrooms and even multilingual support. You can download
this tool for free at www.phpopenchat.org.
With all the interesting free open-source tools out there,
webmasters of both established and new adult websites should
constantly be staying on the technological edge by providing
chatrooms, blogs and well-managed video services for visitors.
Using free, open-source solutions such as those discussed
will give your customers more interface opportunities and
will result in more time and money spent on your site as
opposed to other, less appealing venues.
