(PALM SPRINGS, CA) -- Thursday, February 14, 2002 - TheAmateurVoice.com and YNOTMasters.com are pleased to announce the launch of their 24-hour Webmaster News Ticker today.

The News Ticker will feature headlines from YNOTNews, including breaking news from the adult Internet industry, tech news, general Internet news, legal articles and tips for webmasters. The Amateur Voice will provide headlines, interviews, special features, Webmaster articles, and more from the amateur market. Webmasters can add the ticker to their websites for free. It is a great way to add regularly updated content of interest for webmaster-related websites. HomegrownVideo.com has also jumped on board to co-brand a separate News Ticker specifically for surfers with the Amateur Voice.

“We are very excited about the news ticker. It will be a fun opportunity to work with Jay Kopita (Laj) over at Ynot. I feel that news about the amateur market deserves the spotlight as much as any other adult news and the ticker is a great vehicle to deliver it. Combine that with headlines from YNOTNews – it makes for a great combination”, states Geoff Mena, editor of the Amateur Voice. He continues, “We have the ticker available for webmasters for both white and black background web sites and it's small in file size so it loads very, very fast. All they need to do is fill out a simple form and then copy and paste the code we provide onto their pages.” Laj, Communications Director for YNOTMasters and Executive Editor for YNOTNews adds, “This is a great co-branding opportunity, and we are very pleased that Geoff approached Ynot. Now it will be even easier for webmasters in our industry to get the most relevant and up-to-date news from names they can trust. The ticker should prove to be a success.”

Regarding the News Ticker for surfer traffic, Mena adds, “HomegrownVideo.com agreed to co-brand the surfer ticker shortly before release. I am excited about adding the quality and excellent long-term reputation that the Homegrown name has established to the new surfer ticker.” Webmasters and surfers merely click on the headline they want to read more about and the complete story will display in a new window. This ensures that visitors never leave the site that is displaying the ticker.

TheAmateurVoice.com has been growing in popularity steadily since it’s introduction in mid 2001. YNOTMasters.com is the flagship site of the Ynot Network, established in 1996, and is visited by over 6,000 individual webmasters daily. Homegrown Video has been around since 1982.
