Taking a risk with a website.........

[eddie_slovik]

Hah, you need to understand and breathe your market if you want to make money. You will need to get your hands dirty.

I know of 2 MAJOR sites doing what I think you want to be doing and I am almost sure they are owned or at least run by the same people, lots of crossover.

If you are unaware of them Trust me and I will link you.

In my opinion people pay subs for all/any of the following reasons:

- Convenience and ease of access
- Niche content
- High quality substance
- Ignorance to alternate "free" sources

Thats an excellent reply, I can absolutely understand the OP's predicament because the benefits both financial and otherwise are dangling just off your fingertips.
Alas you will have to speculate to accumilate and overcome any "nerves" to succeed but when you consider that wifeys site earns 100k+ per month.......

Just think, we could have another Gymslip Jim or Ben Dover among us !!

Well when thinking of adult related sites...


I watch all my porn for free and its god porn lool.


So i mean whats the pooint?

Absolutely. However you still watch p***, so you watch it on a site, which if it didn't make money, wouldn't be here today

It's a risky venture. If it was my own 5k i'll drop it on the domain because I don't mind taking the occasional calculated risk, but since its my parents money.... Last thing I want to do is ****** it up majorly.

Ben d over? nice

If you have 5k to spare, do it, the revenue from advertising will make it worth while, is that 120k unique hits?

I think it's a good investment purely because of this:

3 letter domains are worth more than 5k anyway aren't they?

^maybe not 5k but not far off.

My personal opinion would be to run it free on the main site, and paid for, just like all the others, on a mobile site.

How will the new .xxx domain affect websites with that kind of content?

[alexakasloth]

Thats a good idea, but it would be hard to get people to make their own stuff....unless you mean people upload whatever content they want?

I meant things like...their er...conquests

 

[Cosimo]

People pay for porn these days?

Yes they do.... no wait I don't know.

Not sure if its 120k unique hits.

Thats a good suggestion, i'll definitely look into it.

How will the new .xxx domain affect websites with that kind of content?

Thats an interesting point. Hopefully not a lot. I don't imagine that google and other search engines will be clamouring to put .xxx up the top of its lists?

ac1d1ty - You has mail.

Cheers mate, checking now.

Ah fair enough. Are there enough people in the world who are of that mind though :/

Yes they do.... no wait I don't know.

Rule 34: If it exists, there is porn of it. No exceptions.

Suppose so


P.s replied to your email, thanks so much for spending the time writing, its really appreciated.

Trust updated

I watch porn every night sometimes twice a night and its free.

Thanks for that. Would you ever consider clicking a link or purchasing, or are you there for the 35 secs it takes?

For anyone who might be interested in a similar thing this was my take in e-mail on hits/google analytics:

If it were me I would be getting the regional breakdowns of hits and looking at what % are non-unique and who the IPs belong to/have websites behind - eg domain parking companies.

Also look at the hit breakdown. How many are direct and how many are referrals. Search engine referrals get keyword breakdowns in analytics.

You should ask the person if they can set you up a reviewer account in analytics for you to browse around. I THINK this can be done but it's been a long time!

Being able to look through analytics will give you the best chance of evaluating what the hit's are worth. My domain can generate 100k hits in a month, but I have no front site. It's simply storage, google images hits it like hell - hence the hits. Just to give an idea of how stats can throw you off base. A picture of Pob on my server generates 100,000s of hits through Google image.

Does the current owner host any files off it? Eg - a forum signature image could generate 10,000s hits a month easily. Mine does!

You want to know:

Direct hits and referral hits
Which pages/files are being hit or whether it's the root domain
Popular search engine terms generating hits
Demographic breakdown
Hits over time trending. Huge hits at certain times or a regular traffic flow over the reporting period?

There is so much more you can look at that will give you a much clearer idea of why the domain is getting traffic and more importantly HOW it is getting traffic.

A domain is only worth so much, you cannot Host A on domain Z and then change to host B on domain Z and expect the same traffic.

If you know why the domain/content is getting traffic and you can exploit the attractive 3 letter domain and expand on the content in the same field then you could be onto something.

Analytics does allow reviewer accounts FWIW

Thats an interesting point. Hopefully not a lot. I don't imagine that google and other search engines will be clamouring to put .xxx up the top of its lists?

But won't all content of that nature have to be on a .xxx domain? Or are they allowing sites to remain .com even for adult natured sites? I thought the reason for doing so was to make it easier to filter out adult domains just by not allowing access to .xxx?
I can't say I have been following up with the news though.

Do it man, who dares wins etc...

The free porn business model is saturated imo, as well as the pay sites industry. With You**** covering the majority of the free streaming stuff, and things like ****bros covering the paid stuff. You**** is ranked number 66 in the world, *****tube is number 1,927 in the world.

Also, you often find that although sites may look different, they are all actually owned by one company, which is why in some sites you get the 35 sites for 1 type adverts.

Amateur is perhaps not quite as common, but the two aforementioned sites usually have some of that on it, and I am sure there are sites (of course I haven't looked!) that cover for that.

gay.com?

This is absolutely superb advice, I cannot thank you enough. Was writing a reply back when firefox decided to be a bitch. >_>

Unfortunately not, at least from what I can see.

But won't all content of that nature have to be on a .xxx domain? Or are they allowing sites to remain .com even for adult natured sites? I thought the reason for doing so was to make it easier to filter out adult domains just by not allowing access to .xxx?
I can't say I have been following up with the news though.

Nah, there is no way they could make everyone move to .xxx . In fact they are even allowing people (for the first time ever I think) to simply pay a once off fee just to stop others stealing their name.
