TALS v2 Tracks Links

Are you looking for a flexible and inexpensive outbound link tracking system for your adult website?

“TALS, the Track Adult Linking System (www.bigdotmedia.com/tals.php), is a small script that allows webmasters to track outbound links to sponsors or other links in their network,” Big Dot Media’s Dean Wilson said. “If you have ever signed up to an affiliate program, worked your ass off and added all their links and a few months later they close their program, then TALS is a perfect script for you.”

Users are able to control TALS from within an easy-touse admin area, with no front-end files to edit.

According to Wilson, TALS tracks the number of outbound clicks on your site per day, per month and per year — visually displaying the results using easy-to-understand charts, graphs and tables.

Users are able to control TALS from within an easy-touse admin area, with no front-end files to edit.

“TALS also allows users to quickly change the website’s exit URL if a program closes or if the user just wants to redirect that traffic until a website can be fixed,” Wilson added. “[This makes it] very handy if you have hundreds of websites to edit — just one click and it’s changed.”

TALS creates search engine friendly URLs, turning https://www.amakings.com/track/MTM1NTo0OjU/ into this: https://www.domain.com/site/AMAKings/, and displays your favorite links for the previous five days on its main page.

Other features include the ability to import, edit or delete links one at a time, or in bulk. Add links grouped and displayed by sponsor; and choose from several available outbound link formats.

“TALS v1 was a free script, but it was limited because it was encoded and you couldn’t add any custom features,” Wilson stated. “TALS v2 is not encoded, so webmasters can change and edit the code as they like.”

According to Wilson, all files in TALS v2 can be edited and extra functions and code can be added, even within the script’s admin area.

With a price tag of $20 for an unlimited domains license and the ability to customize the software, TALS v2 is definitely worth a closer look.

How Adult Businesses Can Navigate Global Compliance Demands

The internet has made the world feel small. Case in point: Adult websites based in the U.S. are now getting letters from regulators demanding compliance with foreign laws, even if they don’t operate in those countries. Meanwhile, some U.S. website operators dealing with the patchwork of state-level age verification laws have considered incorporating offshore in the hopes of avoiding these new obligations — but even operators with no physical presence in the U.S. have been sued or threatened with claims for not following state AV laws.

Building Sustainable Revenue Without Opt-Out Cross-Sales

Over the past year, we’ve seen growing pushback from acquirers on merchants using opt-out cross-sales — also known as negative option offers. This has been especially noticeable in the U.S. In fact, one of our acquirers now declines new merchants during onboarding if an opt-out flow is detected. Existing merchants submitting new URLs with opt-out cross-sales are being asked to remove them.
