Back when Luke Ford ran LukeFord.com he had two different sponsors. The first was CyberErotica/Ron Levi. With the CE sponsorship, Luke made about $3,000.00 a month.
After several controversies, CE dropped Luke. Luke quickly found a Canadian outfit to sponsor the site to the tune of $3,500.00 a month. I forget the name of the company, but I think the owners name is Greg Sarnikoff (sp??).
Once he returned to porn he was backed-up initially by his Australian friends often reffered to as the 'Australin Mafia'. The love/hate realtionship this group shared didn't last for long and soon the site came to an end.
Almost instantly, Luke found himself at Setgo.com I would suspect that they pay him anywhere from $1,000.00 to $2,500.00 a month to write for the site....or at least they used to. Personally, I always went to the site to read Ford, not Flashman.
