server response headers September 7, 2007:
shitmonkey wrote on 27. April, 2007 they had 60 million ads per day and over 400 requests per second at peak times. 60,000,000 requests are 694 requests per second and he said at peak times 400.
later that day they corrected this on the auctionads blog and said they make 750+ hits per second at peak times.
you probably think that there is no problem with those numbers because 750 requests per second are 64,8 million request per day so its correct but they wrote "at peak times", what means high traffic daytimes, so we talking about "peaks" not overall. this happends mostly 2-3 times a day in small peaks from an half an hour to max. two hours, so the overall must be somewhere around 400 or less requests per second. do you recognize something? you remember the first "corrected" number from shitmonkey? so 400 requests per second. lets say this is true and if, we would end up at 34,560,000 requests per day.
interessting ha?
three month later auctionads wrote that they serve now 1,000 requests per second and more, or 86,400,000 million per day (three month after "60,000,000" or better "34,560,000"?), or 2,592,000,000 per month.
26 days later shitmonkey announced that auctionads got sold for as i heard 3 million in his pocket, or 300,000,000 pennies. dont know what the other idiots got for it. but im not interessted in the fact that he sold a totally stupid system for big money to people who already have big wallets, im rather have still more fun with the numbers. 26 days, keep that in mind.
in three month they went from 60,000,000 to 86,400,000 requests per day, thats a difference from 26,400,000 requets per day or 30.55% in 65 days what means 0,47% per day. i would say it was more like 34,560,000 to 86,400,00 but would this make sense? ;)
26 days later shitmonkey wrote in his last propaganda posting about auctionads that the requests per day raised over 300,000,000, same count as he has now pennies in his pocket ...
[i make a small break so you can think about the 300M pennies fact]
... from 86,400,000 to 300,000,000 in 26 days, thats a difference of 213,600,000 or 71,2% or 2,73% per day.
300,000,000 per day or 9,000,000,000 per month and 3,472 requests per second, three times more then 26 days before.
now you probably totally forgot the apache and php versions i wrote above. those are the reponse headers from ads.auctionads.com. because they using two (why two?) load balancing servers, you'll always get a different one of the servers behind them. in april auctionads wrote they have 4 x dell something, 2x dell some-other-box and two load balancers. i would guess the dell ones are 4 webservers and 2 database servers. i would do it that way. use the 4 servers for ads, one of the big ones for the database and the last one for the website itself and the publisher backend. but unfortunately im not with auctionads and those guys are apparently very stupid what means you get three reponse headers from ads.auctionads.com and the reponse header from www.auctionads.com is the same as one of the boxes replys on ads.auctionads.com. i wonder where the other 3 servers are but its probably only an accident that i see only three servers out of at least 4 or 5. if one of them is a database server.
but why are those stupid response headers so interessting:
the versions are fucking old and this is more than danger. for example: PHP 4.4.4 was release on August 17, 2006 and it gets even better PHP 4.3.10 was release on December 15, 2004.
same with the apache webserver: Apache 2.0.54 was released on April 17, 2005 and Apache 2.2.3 was released on July 28, 2006.
- at this point i wanted to make a listing of all exploits available for the versions above, but there are to many. seriously.
remember, those versions are not from april or july or somewhere in between, thats the server signature replay from today - 07. Sept. 2007.
another funny fact is that they say those servers where auctionads runs are new DELL boxes, but who would install a 3 year old php version or a 2 year old webserver for a, even if the hardware is not brand new, project. thats... i mean... you can do it... but why?!
im yet not at the end. if you have 4 webservers, i think there are only 3 but we go with 4, and one webserver can serve 100 requests per second. lets say they can serv 300 requests per second, i dont think you get more out of a 2 year old apache on a small box, configurated from a total moron.
so that means they need at least 12 servers for 300,000,000 requests per day but those boxes would run 24/7 with full load. nothing more to say here because my numbers are questionable because we dont know how many requests they get per second.
(my belly says max. 200, because that was enought with 4 boxes till april and we dont know what happend after it.)
i mean the simple fact that someone is showing his server signature, what itself is a huge security hole, would be enough but running "the biggest launch of any advertising network, ever." with "Over 25,000 publishers displaying 300+ million AuctionAds ads per day and all in only 4 months" with security hole so big that you can see it from the moon because you using open source software that got so many times exploitet because its at least ONE YEAR OLD thats so... sorry i cant find any words.
nah still, i cant find any words...
... and think on all those pennies in shitmonkeys pocket ...
... but at least, you cant blame him, because he did everything possible to sell this cheap product for the highest impossible price.
i mean its not geotargeted, its not flexible, the ads are lousy, there are probably under 1% of the ad impressions from people who actually making money from it. i heard from SO MANY people they running thousends of ads each day and getting nothing from it. zero, nada, niente, null.
but what does shitmonkey did the last 5 month? screaming out loud how cool auctionads is. trust me, the whole thing was a set up. get as many people as possible to sign up and even give them money to do it because the only reason why they made this site was to sell it with as many members as possible. also tell them it rocks and everybody makes millions from it. thats probably the reason why nobody ever said it doesnt convert shit because he would be the loser who cant make money from it because everyone else can. ...said shitmonkey.
dont ask why, i'll tell you the next days. ;)

you must admit that was a pretty good con he pulled on all of em

Wow, it sounds like someone just got pwned. Not Shoemoney, the guys who bought auctionads.

You seem like you have a shit load of knowledge/ talent, but all you showed here is that all it takes to make a lot of money is some OK programming skills and a shit load of hype.

Mmmmmm pennies.
Is there a photo of 300,000,000 pennies somewhere? Would be interesting to see. Don’t think about diving into it either, because it would hurt a lot.
There’s my nugget of useful advice for the day.
Tobsn, how much time did it take you to do all of the number crunching without cracking up from thinking about the pennies?

Damn, who would believe this!
You are a mathematical genious man!
