I'm sure we will get complaints that we're running a pop-under ad for Live Jasmine. It's not spyware/malware/virus/etc. We're serving the ad code directly from our end. There is no ad network in the middle to install nasty stuff. If you're a registered user and logged into your account you won't see the ad. Non-registered users will see it no more than once per 12 hours. Edited by - Drew Black on Dec 14 2014

I don't see it, since I log-in when I visit ADT. Unfortunately, I can't do that when I visit IAFD. They have no way to log-in there, to avoid that pop under ad. It's annoying to X out that pop under ad at IAFD, every time I visit. As a result, I quit visiting IAFD and use ADT or an online retailer for searches. It's a balancing act, between ad revenue and acquiring hits to a site. Which one is worth more?

Well, the overall numbers don't show this. Traffic does not go down based on types of advertising. Traffic during our Live Jasmin popunder was actually much higher than normal (unrelated to the ad of course.) Staying afloat in this porn economy is not easy. Only a handful of companies have the resources to buy advertising. The balancing act is how much time should we spend trying to sell advertising rather than bettering the site. We would all rather spend the time bettering the site.
Earlier this week it was posted quite extensively that anyone who had Adobe Flash on their computer should remove it because it had a serious vulnerability. I dutifully removed Flash and now if Jasmin shows up while perusing ADT it has a "missing plug-in" message. I can still watch youtube, etc. I notice Adobe says they now have a newer version for download with presumably the vulnerabilities removed. For the present, I see no pressing reason to put Flash back into my computer.

FWIW, my anti-virus/malware program (Vipre) just jumped-in and deleted the Live Jasmine ad (which tried to open twice) when I just visited the IAFD. Something about known bad URL(s)? (First time for this; I've seen the ad on IAFD at least a hundred times.) Also, I've never once had a Live Jasmine ad open on me on ADT -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- OK, here is the info when the Live Jasmine ad attempts to launch on IAFD and gets blocked: Edited by - Goldstein on 10/26/2015 9:39:56 AM

^ That may be. But, what I saw was the Live Jasmin ad begin (visible in the tabs in the Taskbar), and then Vipre IMMEDIATELY shut it down. I'll check and see what the new popup is... At 1:06 ET, whatever the "new" IAFD popup ad is, it is immediately shut down by Vipre (i.e. so I don't have any clue any longer as to what is trying to open). (Good to see my protection doing its job)
Ya, I had to send them an e-mail because their new advert service was putting up fake virus scans on my phone trying to force open Google Play. I suspect they changed back to their old service.

I noticed that the guy who runs First Time Videos web site has said his business is projected to decline. Sad to hear that since his photography is some of the best I've seen. What is the future of a successful adult - themed review site or any adult site? How do they make a profit in this business? How can they offer services when credit cards are blocked by "Operation Choke Point"? Considering how far the industry has progressed since the old days of peep show booths with sticky floors, I am convinced the industry will continue to improve the marketing of content. I hope review sites can continue to make a profit. They help make porn better.
