** Continued From: Tools of the Trade! - Part #1
When you've got great members like we do at Cozy Campus, great things are bound to happen.
In part one of this series, TOOLS OF THE TRADE, you learned about a thread, born on Cozy Campus in 2003. In that thread, we asked our forum members to post links to the tools they use as adult webmasters.
As the saying goes: "Ask and ye shall receive". And oh boy, did we ever receive! Our TOOLS OF THE TRADE thread grew and grew. It got so big and so filled with info that it simply had to be turned into a new Help Guide for Cozy.
Still, it wouldn't be proper to build a new Guide without praise and recognition for to the froggers that made it possible. That's why part two and three of this series - TOOLS OF THE TRADE - will highlight some of the Campus members that contributed to that wonderful thread.
We'll start out with the wise LdyLnWolf1. She added an incredible amount to the TOOLS thread and here is just one of her momentous posts:
Then there is the lovely
Taboo_gal. She deserves major props for nifty little gems like the ones suggested in this post:
One of Cozy Campus' most fun members is a gal named
Sheri Santiago. Here's a suggestion from her:
"Hey guys, I stumbled across this site and thought some of you needing some help with traffic would find it useful:
http://www.adultwebpromotion.com
It's all free, by the way.
Enjoy!"
Now, don't think our Campus coeds were the only ones giving out the love. Our fells were right in there, piling on the knowledge. For example, here's one of the many posts made by Campus member and Macintosh lover, eDJ:
"Well I just surfed onto this one. I'm a Mac switch and I haven't heard much about those here who use the Mac platform. I'm sure there are some who will appreciate this in the spirit of Mac's anniversary. And a worthy addition here at Cozy too!

This site is for Adult Webmasters using their Macs to carve out a slice of the adult online world for themselves. We built this site because we felt it was necessary and a great networking opportunity to have a Mac support community for adult webmasters using the Macintosh platform. We hope this site will bring all Mac adult webmasters closer together, and in the end help us all make more using our Mac's as the vehicle to financial success."
One of our long-standing Campus regulars gave this tip for those of you boggled by web stats:
Mr. Blue:
"Even though I'm new as an adult webmaster been a regular one for years and here's one program that I've used for awhile now:
http://www.weblogexpert.com/index.htm
The program analyzes raw weblogs. Just download them from your webspace and the program will come up with all manner of reports, where your hits are coming from, refers, etc, etc.
The host that I carry my regular webpages at uses webalizer, what most use, but they only display the top 10 or so. Considering I get 800,000 hits a month there it was completely inadequate for my needs.
So, when I went and got an adult host, sure enough they did the same...well this raw log analyzer will just show you everything you need or want to know about the traffic to your site.
Right now I'm using the program to show me which TGP's I've submitted to is sending me back traffic."
As you can see, we've got some smart and unselfish webmasters on
Cozy Campus. They could keep all this information secret but they choose to share it with you, instead. That's why we have so much love for our froggers!
Don't think we're done. There's even more love in part three of this series. In the meantime, check out the goods recommended above. When adult webmasters are given a chance, they shine!
