14. Talk about circle jerk sites?

After I came out with my first ever site I figured out what an exit console was. I then realized I could exit people to consoles and trade that traffic with other people doing the same thing. It worked like this. I would exit my traffic to series of 4-6 pages that all had ads on them to places like xpics or to top50 sites. When you send traffic to top50 sites you would get listed on that site with a full size banner from top to bottom based on how much traffic you sent. There were a ton of top50 lists and they all updated hourly but had one major update at 1 hour everyday where the started counting from zero. And the idea is to be at the top of the site in your placement during that hour beause everyone is sending the hardest that first hour to get listed high because the higher you were listed the more traffic you would get back. So if a site updated at noon I would concentrate all my traffic to that site from 11am til noon and hopefully I would get a top spot. So the second and third hour when everyone is still sending hard I got that good spot. Well 2pm a different list would update so I would then get all the traffic from that top spot sending back to my pay site but now I would change all my exits to send to this new top50 list. This would go on for 24 hours a day and was a ton of work. What I did was make 24 versions of my exit consoles. 1 for each hour of the day. I would then put them all on a cron job that would update them for me. Each version was pushing to whatever site I wanted to hit hard during that hour. You couldnt exit directly to the top50s but you could blind link the shit out of them but even that traffic was 10x better then tgp traffic is today.

I eventually had 3 huge top50's of my own, teenfactory, thepics, and tropicalteens that were doing mass amounts of traffic. They would see nearly a million hits a day and my circle jerk site was doing another million a day.

The idea was to push 90% of the traffic you got back to the top50s and only take out about 10% to your paysite and others paysites to make money.

Thats how it all started for me and the money started rolling in.
It was a 24 hour a day job to monitor it all the time and it was SOOO competitive between the top guys.
