Chazzy1,

yeah, I understand 99.9% of the password sites are simply "fronts" so to speak for getting traffic.

But, there are definitely more than a few that post real working passwords. These ARE hacked passwords, as I have the logs to prove it. The point is, I'd not "submit" stuff to people, I'd simply dangle a few carrots here and there and see what bites.

case in point:

I host a small paysite for a guy in the UK. Decent design, etc. just not much promotion and it's fairly nichy hardcore stuff, not exactly the "huge" paysite type.

for a longass time, he had under 30 total members in his password file. Did maybe 10-25GB/mo depending. Then he had a traded password. Yeah, he pulled 120GB that month, and then another 150GB the next month when another couple were leaked (and all ran for no more than 4 hours each, most like 1.5 hours).

So.. before he was listed he had around 30 paying members.

guess how many now?

Think 60? 100% gain in membership? Sounds good..

Naw, think higher. ;)

207 listed accounts, you can figure at least 200 of those are actual paying customers.

that's freaking insane.. for a cost of less than 250GB, he gained about 150 users. Without any work from him whatsoever, other than collecting the checks and cutting me a check for bandwidth.

I know that a hell of a lot of sites "promote" through password sites, but I never thought a *real* hacked password listing of about 4 or 5 times over 2 months would net more than a handful of new signups.

All I can say, is holy shit. ;)

-Phil

p.s. To the guy who asked about the password area protection we offer.. It's only to those that host with us, it essentially works like a pennywize or something, only we maintain everything and guarantee it's effectiveness.
