Polyfetish

I’d like to find an application that would let me place an add on all of my kink and fetish themed sites at once. So I could sell the whole ‘network’ as it were. To just one advertiser.

Then I’d sell a long term ad to just one advertiser. I’ve been approached by people for something like that. Sadly, I don’t remember who.

Actually I’m not even looking for cash. But for someone who would buy/swap a decent laptop computer for ten months or so on a bunch of sites at once.

When AdBrite and AVNads split I just followed over to Black Label ads.

Later I joined AVNads and added a few sites. I haven’t had a lick of luck with AVNads so far.

I do not allow Black Label ads to automatically insert whatever network ads they think appropriate. Every ad has to be approved by me. I don’t want to see “Fuck Buddy” on any of my sites. And I’m chary of the word ‘porn’ and few others. Not that I mind pornography. But I try to be mindful of my visitors sensibilities. Even if it costs me revenue.

My sites are about sexuality; they have a fair number of female readers. While I don’t think most of them object to porn there’s kind of, um, ‘tone’ that I want to preserve. (I wouldn’t mind trying a porn site or two but am too damned afraid of the current administration to try.)

So I manually select each Black Label ad.

With AVNads it appears you can say yes or not to network ads and no more. So I’m not offered any.

I took a look at some of AVNads publishers. Damn, what incredibly high levels of traffic. My sites may be just too trivial for them to bother with. They don’t have the small entrepreneurs, phone sex operators and the like who advertise with me via Black Label Ads.

The other day when I tried logging into Movable Type on one of the servers on which I have it installed I got an Error 500. That had happened on a different server with the same web host a few days prior. They were upgrading php and it corrected itself in less than half an hour.

I kept trying to log in but continued to get the error. Finally I noticed that Movable Type was trying to run the upgrade script. Since I’d long since upgraded that I’d removed that script’s permission to execute.

A quick CHMOD and the upgrade script ran yet again. But once it was done all was well.

About as peculiar as it gets.
