Sex.com is a fail and a half. It's a terrible site now.

[pornguy]

A major waste of a good domain.

that name has been rebranded like 5 times at least, with all the new marketing gurus working on it all the time

on another note, If that traffic was just redirected to a paysite now, it'd convert around 1:10k if lucky

i'm not sure what i'd be doing with it, if i got sex.com, just as a domain

that's not really true. I know how much traffic it has. people also forget that its not US traffic... its a universal word... resulting in universal typeins from everywhere on the planet in large numbers... i.e Korea, China, Turkey, India etc etc etc. its just weird to see people keep doing this kind of stuff with a great domain. He's also quite rich and has no pressure to do anything with it.

its just weird to me to see some of the greatest domains ever, be worse than a parked page.

not sure what you[re referring to, but I have some type-in domains and they're doing much worse than in the past conversions wise

and it's also true that the marketing/developers teams changed all the time on sex.com

what would you do with it, if you got your hands on it now? just curious

[Kron]

i meant the traffic itself and its value. the fact that it has XX,XXX-XXX,XXX typins a day doesn't mean its quality traffic. its very scattered across the globe and a lot of korean, chinese, turkish, indian etc... so you can't just throw something up or redirect it and expect it to convert and make money. it would make far more going to a parked page before doing something like that. and that is a very much a fact that anyone with a large domain portfolio here would agree with.

you might have "typein" domains... but they aren't one word generic dictionary words which more often than not, have very poor quality typein traffic which is why so many are parked to begin with... or worse, poor quality traffic and also many possible meanings of the word. i mean.. its not the same as people tying in "iwantteenporn.com"... someone typing in "mobilephone.com" is going almost useless... where typing in BlackBerryPearl.com is pretty specific and what the user is interested in/looking for. a typin for that domain could be a kid and his friends typing it in to see whats there while snickering and giggling.... it could be someone looking for sex stories.. info about abstinence, birth control or whatever.

furthermore, a person in Turkey is far less likely to type in "iwantteenporn.com" than they are "sex.com"... so you get a better geographical breakdown on the traffic and a higher likelyhood of someone actually looking for that exact thing... vs trying to entertain themselves by typing in the one of the 10 English words they know.

just type "sex" in googles keyword tool... then tell me what someone who types "sex.com" is looking for.

there is a reason so many one word dictionary domains are parked rather than redirected.



what would i do? i would be realistic about its traffic. i would be realistic about the fact that you have to start from the ground up and build something of actual value. i would take a long hard look at "sex..." searched phrases and be forced to fully come to grips with the fact that people typing "sex.com" into their browser are either looking for porn or educational materials or sex in the city or whatever.

then i would start building something of value for the long term. it would start out ugly and awkward and weird like webcams.com did for example and keep building until i've started hitting my initial traffic and revenue goals and then take a long, hard look at the data, review and plan forward.... adult dating + cams

Links to Amazon? WTF Who is managing this domain?

[hjnet]

I somehow always liked the SE they had up a few years ago. An ideal way to further filter traffic, and their PPC SE had some nice traffic too....

[baddog]

Looks closer to what Gary originally had in mind. They should let Cohen manage it though.

[chupachups]

Not to mention there are fucking rape sites in those feeds..

[Ron2k1]

How much traffic should they have?

I think it's less then 100k daily...

[John-ACWM]

LOL good one
