Neither one of you are wrong! The Hun generates a shitload of traffic...
According to his interview, roughly 1 out of every 140 people online is at his site!
I think there is a little more than 140,000,000 people surfing the web.
I think he is a little bit wrong there http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

makes me wounder how the fuck he's generating all this traffic!
he sure does work hard, but I doubt he's making 100 free sites, 100 AVS and 100 toplists per day.
damn The Hun contact me on ICQ or e-mail to share some tips http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif I'll do anything in exchange.
lol who bet 100$ he won'T contact me!?

ahhh I then have one more chance of being contacted http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
domain should be thehuns.net then http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
He was saying that he has 1 Mio. per day and that his widest audience is 2 Mio., and that was the number that he meant when he was saying 1:140 of everyone. The most interesting thing I found was that he is still reviewing each and any gallery himself. Although I'm not sure if I could believe that. Might be one of the reaons for his success though. I'm not sure if I would still review galleries every day with his 7 figures income. Most likely not.
How is the traffic from the Hun in terms of productivity? I mean considering the bandwidth cost, how does he convert for you? I posted only once on Thumbzilla, and it was enough, I had 3,000 uniques in the first day, 700 in the second, also other hits in the days after, but hardly any clicks on my sponsor link, and no signups. All surfers just wanted to see the pics for free. Is The Hun doing the same. How many surfers would you have in the first day of being listed? Thanks.

i have found the hun's productivity to be lower than other tgp's - at least for me. i have a pal - she averaged 2 sales off each first day - and that was over 20,000 hits.
i do much better with thumbzilla - it may be your sponsor or your sponsor link that is the problem.
the hun is run by thehun and mrs.thehun, btw.
Haha I was waiting for someone to ask that:
I got a blackonblondes gallery there. Listed somewhere in the middle of the list. If my memory serves (phrase stolen from snow):
5 GB/day the first 3-4 days, each day ~50,000 visitors. It didn't slow down much the first days. Then slowed down strongly.
~8 sales (or 9), 3 to blacksonblondes, 2 to ARS, 1 to MC, and the rest to other black/interracial sponsors. All sales within the first few days. I had NO banner, 25 or so pics, small thumbs, just a little bit text saying "pics reduced for badnwidht purposes, get the full size here etc..", only one text link, and that leading to a page where I got all the sites listed in a magazine style format with table ads and such. So you could present more variety within that niche. It wouldn't have gone through If I had put all these ads right onto the gallery itself.
Alltogether the gallery was pretty much low selling, I mean not aggressive in any way. Normal font, white default size, default font on black background. No buy this buy that style. Just like saying I don't care. Additionally I had included a slide show. You could see the single pics or run a slide show with 5,10 or 15 sec.
I have a few new galleries accepted now and will see new results soon.
He doesn't accept CEN right now, and he doesn't like 7 point fonts I'd say. Also I don't see recips to others tgp's so I guess he doesn't like that either. No recip is fine with him or just one to him. Many people put the "recip" into the URL such as "bla.com/mygallery/forthehun/". I guess he appreciates that as well. So other tgp's can't copy galleries from him.
My gallery from above was a couple of months back. You might get 50-100% more of traffic & sales today since he has more visitors now.
I already read several times in different boards of Hun gallery scientists that did 50 and more sales from one single listing.
And after I could do 8 sales with my first one I'd say yes that can be done. Never had another gallery there since then so can't compare.

well, it's all relative to the niche, and to your talent I'd say..
I sell normal with him... but not that great...
see, I might have gotten 22 signups from Sublime on one post...
while I heard ken got 150 signups on Hun's listing http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif hehe...
it's all relative folks...
try it, find it yourself http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
oh, and yeah, hun told me he'd rather have a few more pics rather than recips....
also, he told me he will go for the gallery that doesn't look towards selling, and has tons of pictures.... but again, he says that this is not possible and told me he goes for the best MIX... so don't push your sale too much.... also he'll go for the galleries that will surprise him, or be different than the rest.... well, that's what I remmember reading, and from an email or two that I got from him....
hun, if you happen to browse by, might want to confirm? =D
magnatique, is that Ken from blackonblondes? He is buying spots I guess. I believe he was within the top 5 spots yesterday and it was a BOB gallery. I wonder if I still could do reasonable sales with BOB when he is #5 or so with the similar pics all the time...
magnatique
03-08-2001, 02:32 PM
yeah, he's buying..
Ken is like the God of TGP posting man.... he'll take most of the sales if you make it similar to his... and I'm not sure if hun lists BoB galleries since he has one on the top ... not sure though... just speculating =D

Actually The Hun works 2 hours a day at the yellow pages. Almost everything goes automatic on his site. He is more busy with his other sites then with the Yellow pages.. http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
And if the Hun contact you at ICQ then is that really a miracle... as far as i know he doesnt use ICQ..

Here in the netherlands whas a interview with The Hun last month. He has at least two other sites: http://www.linkshelf.com/ (in dutch) and he is making a animated site for kids, Sybersven.
In the same interview: If he sell his site he can make $10 million dollars for The Yellowpages. And now we are talking about money.... There whas a company who contacted him and offerd him $700K a year for one exitconsole.... he refused that offer.....
Yes, dutch people are weird people...

If the hun has got 1:140 of the people surfing the net, it would explain why the whole industry is suffering so badly.
I've said it once and I'll say it again. Fuck the Hun, may his whole site die. And may you kids stop feeding him. He is 100 times worse than other tgp's because his site so absolutely HUGE, with his archives and all. Any schmuck can give away 100,000 porn pictures for free for 6+ years in a row and accumulate a million hits. I had a site fetishnet.com getting about 150k uniques a few years back, it had about 5000 pictures in 26 categories. Didn't convert very well and we killed it. I don't believe he's making nearly as much money as you guys believe, or he says. As we all know (most of us) his traffic is not worth very much.
If you really want a million hits, pump out
1000 galleries, put 'em together and pay for some advertising in computer magazines. Thats how i did it.
But do you really think his top banners get more clicks/converts than we do on our galleries? why would they? we all know bottom banner get more clicks, not ones at the top (or beginning) of a site.
the Hun is like David Koresh, a cult leader that all the weaker ones flock to, only to boost his ego and bottom line. And if he doesn't like your gallery for some piddly little reason, he shoots you down too.
I bet you the $700,000 offer was for stock. not cash.
I love this board, but I can't stand the awe you guys have for the Hun. BARF!

Flyboy... Dont forget he whas one of the first TGP's on the net. And that helped a lot. Awe for The Hun? Should not know why.. because he is the biggest? Because he just finished building his second house? Because he has 3 cars? Nah.. The only one i have awe for is my Rottweiler..
I have respect for him thats another thing. Just i have respect for other webmasters who are doing hard and good work. And if they have 1.000.000 uniques or 1.000 i dont give a damn.
You had 5000 pics in 26 categories?? Wow congratulations... and didnt convert well?? Yeah i can put 50.000 pics in 100 categories... but wheni use a wrong sponsor i dont get any fucking signup..
You wrote: "If you really want a million hits, pump out 1000 galleries, put 'em Together and pay for some advertising in computer magazines. Thats how i did it."
And you received 1.000.000 hits then??? I thought you say 150K.. But maybe i whas reading wrong. Think it comes because im from hollandia...
Ohh by the way about hollandia...
1. The Hun
2. Worldsex
3. Easypic
All from holandia...
Salut, gegroet.

Thats the funiest reply I ever got on a joke I made http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
Pinox: not cause hun and you are from hollandia you will succeed! Should all montreal (where I live) citizens succeed in extreme sports cause we have guys like Jonathan Bergeron, Pierre-Luc Gagnon, Nicky Addams, Pierre Maheu, Max dufour that won professionnal competition medals?
Cmon that doesn't mean shit. Yeah I do extreme sports, but I'm no way a professionnal in this!
Each person has the capability to do some stuff. Now leave AWI and go back to work if you wanna be the next HUN http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

I dont think i will ever understand the american humor...
1) that TH is from holland and that i am from holland has nothing to do with succes or not. That he is succesfull, and Worldsex and Easy thing.. well great... that doesnt mean that i will be succesfull. That whasnt the intention of that reply... Its more that im proud that those dumb weed smoking dumbasses from the Netherlands are in the Top 3. I dont say that they are smoking weed, that they are dumbasses but thats how people see the dutch people... That whas my point.
And i te next Hun?? I dont think so. Im happy when ive first 50K a day... So i dont leave AWI.. Sad but True http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif
You live in Montreal?? Cool.. But who the.. are Jonathan Bergeron, Pierre-Luc Gagnon, Nicky Addams, Pierre Maheu, and Max dufour???

in fact you can call those guys: crazy motherfuckers!
I think if anyone works as hard as The Hun did then they can get over 1 million uniques. I'm sure he worked his ass on in the beginning, hell, now he can sit back and relax.
Make something new, work your ass off, make it work, and promote!

Ahh No joke.. honestly i never heard of those guys. But maybe because it isnt my kind of sport they are doing. I like more the martial Arts stuff and soccer thing.. http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif
Yeah i smoked weed to.. till the day i whas so sick of one joint that i started to walk and talk backwards. Since then i never smoked that stuff again..

Amen... i totally agree with that.. Im working hard now to get my first 50K. I have my own layout, real series, and other stuff. If you wanna make it these days you must come with something new or with something unique..

you don't understand the concept man.... he's giving away free porn, but filled with ads and shit... it's not killing anything... it's doing good to the industry (paysites) as those people will get bored of ads and will buy a membership to one of the paysites he is advertising..
and so what if he doesn't convert? do you have a slight idea of the power that 1 million unique gives him? those 1 million users each trust his shit.... anything he wanna start is going to be relatively easier with that... I wouldn't trade anything for that power man...
traffic is worth way more than gold when it comes to that kind of traffic (no trades)
