My Introduction - GoFuckYourself.com

ENDave · 02-23-2022, 03:24 AM

Hello GFY!
My name is David, a 45 year old tech junky native to the Ohio Valley. I proudly come packed wearing many hats in the internet industry that started back in the late 90's. Although my first bucks made online was from the adult niche, my first actual brand was my first web hosting company back in 2002.

I have founded a couple of forums here and there, can clone just about any service or solution with Open Source software with WordPress being the main tool, and have been through many ventures. It was the butterfly effect that brings me to where I am today after I launched my first brand in a competitive industry and found out real quick that "If you build it, they don't come"! SEO wasn't META tags anymore and got into learning some blackhat stuff real quick to stay afloat. SEO / Local & Hyperlocal SEO is a second language to me. But with Social Media the way it is today, SEO I think, just does things by itself if you're doing everything else right!

Anyhow, Like I said, my first bucks was in the adult niche. I bought a bunch of licensed content and made some decent TGP's that were polluted with strategic aff links, And on a shared hosting account. Things went south real quick the first time I ever got listed on "TheHun" and let's just say I learned really quick how to manage a dedicated linux server!

Fast forward to today, after have been through a shitty divorce and keeping up in the many industries I have interests in I am here to get back into the game. I have for fun reg'ed domains, whipped up a Vultr container, installed Cyberpanel and pointed the domain, and installed WordPress, All from a mobile phone just for fun! Being a webmaster is simple to me.

Back in my blackhat days I used to frequent a marketing forum that just isn't what it used to be anymore. But, this forum is what has me driven today with what I know i want to do. This one night I read this post about a new self serve advertising portal this other member had just launched on his dating site that was doing real well. I had no idea at the time the history that was being made when I Private Messaged the dude to ask him about his platform and where I could possibly buy it. We had a little chat back and forth when he told me that he coded the entire thing himself. The dudes name was Markus, The original Founder of "Plenty Of Fish" who months later sold to Match.com for over a half a BILLION dollars! I witnessed other members on the forum post their ROI stats that had a daily spending allowance on POF of $10k PER DAY! This is what taught me "If you build it RIGHT, they will come"!

I have more to my story but the alarm just went off and I have to get my Daughter up for school and off to the bus. I would love to get more into who I am and what I am here to do but I think this is a good start to getting to know yas.

I know what I want to do and I know what works. I am here to network with the ones that know the same. As mentioned, I am skilled in many areas but I am not perfect. I do have a helping heart and am open to entertain helping any of those who ask. I don't hold my hand out but will gladly accept tips and donations as like anybody else would

Looking forward to making the best out of this! I will try and answer any questions you may have!

***EDIT***
Real quick I just want to add some of my skills that are all self taught over the last 25ish years...

Hey Dave!

lol how advertising on the hun teaches anyone in the business with a paysite on shared hosting, how real the business real fast

We started in 2005, a paysite of my own and within the first month of uploading a couple of FHGs to the hun, we crashed and immediately went to a dedicated

You know it! And this was unexpected at that. It was a free submission that I even used a TGP submitter to submit. Woke up to a warning email about my shared hosting account about to be suspended that I didn't get to quick enough. I hurried up and went to Rackshack.net for my first dedi. A 10mbit unmetered dedi was expensive af back in those days but watching my rrdtool graphs run a steady 6.5mbit most of the day and peak right at 9mbit, it was worth it. That was the beginning of a lot. Love that ugly ass yellow site! 😁
Thank you for the welcome!

Yes siree I did. My reason for doing that is so that someone that may need some help one day and who is low on pocket change may remember my crazy long post and ask me for some help. 😁 Just a way of trying to give back.
Good day 🤓

i know the feeling, we ended up staying with hostgator for about 5 months, went to dedi, but then netelligent hosting in canada, was so much better and handled it all, but at 200 a month, but was worth it

after many years i´ve now got rid of most sites and gone with modelcentro, other than not being able to get into your ftp, everything´s done for you and so less stress!
