My brief career in the offline at the moment finally convinced me that we should find its way into the Internet. I said nothing to my mother about his dismissal, leaving her in blissful ignorance, while he focused on the topic for a living - Dating for sex.
the Russian Internet (webcams), the first dating site exclusively for lung relations came when I had just mastered Internet and masturbate to naked pictures of aunts. But then, this niche was not popular - not to mention the west, where the leading website AAF (Adult Friend Finder) gathered audience of many millions - They have geo-banners for three years before the Russian dating sites.
new breath theme was the prevalence of SMS-payments - content providers, feeling that the market for phone content is rapidly declining, began to transfer the emphasis on SMS as a tool for micropayments. Why micro? Maximum Cost of SMS and today is limited to 300 rubles.
In fact, SMS - extremely uninteresting means of payments, since most of the cost of SMS take yourself mobile operator and content provider. At stake is webmaster of only thirty or forty, maximum, forty-five percent of the paid by the client. That can be offered as a commodity of such a commission? Nothing. That is the air. As the air in 2008, became the most popular access to dating sites. And I could not miss.
traffic from decaying from lack of customers pornoplatnikov was transferred to datingovye affiliate program (dating from dating - dating) which every day became more and more. The more I worked with them, the more convinced that participating in a game of thimbles, where the most wins the lottery. Under the guise of so-called dating sites hiding empty sites with made-up questionnaires. Of course, no one paid could not rely on communication. Cheating? Yes. But he brought a good income. And while the berry is ripe, it was worth to run their affiliate program.
I decided to go thoroughly and put a few thousand dollars in the parent site and several paysites. More had to invest in advertising. In fact, all earnings was based not so much on his own, but on borrowed rate of traffic of other webmasters. Of course, the traffic from poluumershih klikandernyh exchanges and vareznikov give effect, but I wanted more than three thousand rubles a day. Competitors had a double payment of the registration, I am a programmer, and prestressed implemented a triple. Competitors painted with beautiful beautiful paysite girls, and launched the first paysite with fat women. Damn! It was a real arms race, in which I played a little bit of space.
Then мне впервые пришлось нанять удаленных модераторов на постоянную работу. Когда я однажды уснул за клавиатурой, то с пробуждением обнаружил порядка ста тикетов from partners and the bursting of ICQ messages. It turned out that the server could not bear the load and fell - sites no longer boot. With Matyukov and tech support could set up a server, and then long to communicate with partners, promising them to compensate for the lost traffic increased commissions. But in the end I just hired two people: one was watching the server, the second responded to tickets.
the summer managed to reach several thousand SMS per day. No wonder - in the summer, even the most seedy affiliate had paid a hundred messages a day: the whole Internet is replete with fictional stories about successful sex through the network, but simply advertising was over the edge. Despite the number of messages, earning himself was not so stunning. Ninety percent of my income was spent partners so that the thousands of messages brought about ten to fifteen thousand. Complicates the situation and the fact that billing listed the money immediately, but after a certain period, known as Hold'em. Usually it was a month. But my partners would receive the money immediately. And in our race with the competitors had to go on a week payments, and then even some time to pay a daily basis. To maintain this pace, I had to invest almost all their savings in the network. Thus, I began to earn good, but all earnings was only on paper - actually I saw only what was shooting for a living.
And yet, at that time I was earning up to 30-40 thousand rubles a day, only a small part of which was spent on maintenance business, the rest went on minimizing Hold for partners.
Dosit My site started, I remember the fourth of August. My sysadmin told about the load increases, then the server is no longer available. The attack was so strong that we could not get through even to reconfigure your server. Counter earnings dropped to zero. I turned off all the messengers. Reply partners still There was nothing. Ping in the black window, command-line monitors server availability, but went only one message "server not available".
After a day could through the mat, calls and support the hosting reduce the load and filter out most of the attacking networks. After another couple of hours ended and myself attack. I barely had time to write about this partner, as the beginning of a new attack.
Using backups, we have changed our hosting service. But this did not last long. Later several hours, both sites have earned the attack and went to a new location. The attack was so massive that it is not saving any filters. Imagine that hundreds of people was breaking in through one door to go inside. Our door is crammed thousands. And the room was empty. From this virtual room, I and my staff feel sad looking at the hitters in the door the crowd. Counter earnings continued to stand at zero.
On the sixth day poluuspeshnoy control - I invent new ways to avoid attack, throwing for various hosting sites, negotiating with those who are promised protection from DDoS attacks - in the corridor clanged lock and the door opened. I heard it edge of the ear, but not even got up and was so busy and engrossed in their problems.
the bedroom door opened. On the threshold stood Oksana. I looked at the clock in the corner of the screen - Accurately, Saturday. What is predictable, however. Then I said, techie, who promised zafiltrovat most of the attacking traffic.
- You me happy? - There was a and the question hung in the air. I am a second off the screen.
- Listen! Kiss my ass! Not up to you.
door slammed shut. I went on to explain with an arrogant techie - Two thousand dollars per day for the defense were too expensive solution. And then I otsignalil my sysadmin. Attack ended. Sites again became available. Results have been disappointing. I updated the count every ten seconds - an hour recovered only ten percent of the traffic a week ago. In fact, I'm back to where to start - most of the partners moved the traffic to other affiliate programs. Plus I did not earn from 200 to 300 thousand rubles - so I picked up this bad habit take unearned money.
I made our top partners on a mail telling that we are back in the game. Sent a fucking geek and gave CarteBlanche your sysadmin who engaged in the modernization of server protection, and he stood up, finally, from the table, feeling the need to pee - judging by the hour, I sat at the computer, not rising, more than six hours.
What was my surprise when I saw Oksana kitchen in an apron. In response to my surprised look, she nodded to the plate.
- I'm here cutlets cooked. Will you?
I nodded and went to the toilet. My logic has given the final crash, to the last week I slept no more than three hours, and a visit to the toilet was not as a way - it was a few seconds to bring the thoughts in order.
I went back to the table, which is already on the plate emitted a pleasant smell meatballs with pasta. He sat down on a chair and a fork kovyrnuv patty - I already salivating to run down, I asked:
- and that was it then?
Oksana she sighed, as if a heavy weight suddenly pressed her to the ground. Sat on a chair beside him.
- What could I do? I like you more if the winter much. But love can not be forced. I left and after a while tried to meet with Paul. He's a good boy, but without the sparkle in her eyes. And then I was drunk and did what I wanted to do. But would not be imposed. You did not say what you want me to be there. That's all ... Think I'm bad?
- And now, why come?
- Why are you doing? - In the eyes of Oksana tears.
- I'm sorry. Just a week has stood out. I like you, though, like you. But I do not know how all this concern. Head is completely cooks, I almost did not sleep for six days. I'll go lie down. You stay if you want. I do not mind. And thanks for the burgers - delicious.
I went into the bedroom and almost immediately fell to sleep under the flicker on the screen ping lines. A dream I felt like I was back at his chest put his arm around arm and neck blew warm wave of breath. And fell asleep again. And when I woke up, the clock was already six in the evening - Oksana still lying around. She went on some special warmth, from whom did not want to move away. Perhaps I did not understand her motivation, maybe I did not understand how and why it comes. But now here is so embracing it was nice to lie and not think about nothing. I turned around - Oksana looked at me.
- I did not sleep, just lay there. Do you mind? - She asked.
- No, - I smiled. - Come to the club or stay home?
- How do you want?
- Yes, I do not care. I have a few good films. Can order a pizza.
- Pizza - foo-oo-oo! I'd make you my brand crackers. Only I'll go to the store.
- In the hallway table, there is money.
- I have.
- No, take mine. But I still check the statistics.
I moved out of bed for the computer. News were not the most pleasant, but still hopeful - traffic has recovered about a quarter of that was to ddos. Sysadmin wrote that he was able to together with the tech support web hosting build a filtration system to withstand severe stress: part of the parasitic traffic should have been the case repulsed an attack by another entry in the data center, the rest is filtered hands and AutoConfig on the server. In details, I have not delved into - and done right. It was necessary to solve the problem with partners. But tomorrow. Oksana yelled from another room that crunches are ready.
