I build spec homes. Custom homes

LA Mike · 03-03-2005, 02:49 PM

LMAO, no but I held it in my hand a thought about it a few times. Its a thick one for sure!!

LA Mike · 03-03-2005, 02:51 PM

13. Have you ever used stolen content?

The first ever site I built I downloaded a ton of pics and stuff from AOL and other places. Not even knowing it was illegal until someone who you all know told me. After making a few bucks I went and bought real content of my own to use

webgurl · 03-03-2005, 02:52 PM

Nice Interview! my hats off to you!

LA Mike · 03-03-2005, 03:04 PM

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.

LA Mike · 03-03-2005, 03:09 PM

15. Why the name silvercash?

I have no idea. I kinda came up with it once. There was a mainstream proggie that had the name goldsomething and I thought how about silver?

The only thing I didn't like about silver is that it represents 2nd place in the olympics

I have never liked that name and for years regretted naming it that. But some people say they like it and well its a brank now so I think I'm stuck

Tony Montana · 03-03-2005, 03:09 PM

LA Mike · 03-03-2005, 03:25 PM

16. What kind of fun things do you have in your yard? Pics?

I have two houses that are 25 miles apart. One of them is on a lake and the other is in some foothills.

Water is brown and dirty. This was after we got flooded out and I took my boat off the dock.

Sorry but I can't find all the other pics of this house

LA Mike · 03-03-2005, 03:38 PM

17. Have you ever been drunk or high at an adult convention - discuss.

umm, which time? lol

J/K... I'm sure I have been close to drunk a few times but I'm not a big drinker and I don't get loud or violent when I do drink. But I try to keep things to a minumum while I'm at the shows. I want to be on my best when I get hit up 8000 times to by something

Need to have those quick "NO's" ready

20. Why do you come to GFY?

Because two of my good buddies Lens and Eric run this place

21. What's web overdrive?

Weboverdrive is a full on webmaster resource site and a chatboard.

Web Overdrive has long been known for putting adult webmasters into the drivers seat and providing a roadmap to success, increasing webmaster earnings for years! Founded in 1998 by a core group of talented webmasters seeking to pool their collective knowledge, the WebOverdrive family of resource sites (TopNiche, Rookie Class, Webmaster Matrix, Traffic Matrix, Tutor Matrix & Banner Overdrive) has since grown into a huge storehouse of tools, tutorials, workshops and inside information geared to increasing the adult webmasters bottom line.

The new release of the site has only been up for a few weeks and is already doing very very well.

Check it out

LA Mike · 03-03-2005, 05:13 PM

22. Do you shoot your own content?

Yes we do shoot our own content and we outsource to a few people to shoot for us. We rarely buy non exclusive content anymore. All of our new sites are all custom content.

Xenophage · 03-03-2005, 05:24 PM
