I made this site this week. I am looking to gain traffic from the loop of how each page has multiple like buttons, bringing in more traffic than it sends out. Hopfully I can make this into a viral loop on Faceobok.

Feedback?

1) I don't expect the site to last long, since it does have the trademark name Facebook in the domain. It is the first experiment. If the concept works and the loop of likes-to-revisit ratio is good I may rebrand with a different genre or target:

There are many combinations I could go with: "The [Hottest/Cutest/Sexiest] [Girl/Guy/Chick/Babe/] [in/on] [the internet/Kansas/Denver/City/Craigslist]" etc etc.

That fact that I think facebook sucks combined with the fact that I think this idea sucks
probably means that you are right.

i am trying to survive an issue caused by using the word facebook in a domain name. do not do this. its not worth it.

I'm now lawyer but ...

it makes no sense to develop businesses you know are flawed from the beginning

great idea. keep with it and don't let "the sky is falling" haters get to you.

better advice would be to develop the same concept with a non-infringing domain

Leslies pic is on there

Spend your time trying to make great unique sites that can make money for a long time.:2 cents:

You should be hearing from their lawyers any day now.

Yeah don't mess with facebook, they were quiet for a while but they are actively coming after people now

tHE SITE WON'T LAST LONG, TRUST ME !

I know what i'm talking about :costumed15

Good luck, not something I would use but what do I know.

you get m@il soon

Say "Adios" to your site. very soon.

Nice admission to registering the domain in bad faith with intent to infringe on facebooks marks and then actually infringing on their marks.

You've also handed them an easy argument for counterfeiting their marks which can include the domain alone, but which you (like a total moron), took further to include the very look and feel of the site and not simply the use of the word in a domain name... which then falls under civil R.I.C.O, meaning triple damages.

Without even getting their side, they've already got you for an easy 300K in damages for trademark infringement alone.

Good luck dumbass.

Hope that helps!

nice site, ignore the haters, just reregister a different domain and dont use the word facebook on the domain or within the site.

So hows It going? I'm sure you have a few days until you hear from facebook.

The research I did was that it was a crap shoot if Facebook comes after you. Some have been alive 3 years without issues. I read that Facebook is targeting mobile apps more than websites.

I am not worried. I have no attachment to the site so when/if I get a notice it will just come down. Until then, it's just an experiment.

I totally agree, but I need a better formula for this. The sites I spend 5 days building "on a hunch"" end up doing really well - while the sites I spend time on making look good, with a good plan, based on good data...end up tanking. WTF?

Just change the name to something like Social media girls.com

What you don't seem understand (predictably) is that you might not get a notice. You might end up just getting sued in Federal Court for a 6 figure or larger sum. You will walk up to your cardboard box and some weird dude will hand you a subpoena. Then you're fucked. Not responding to the lawsuit won't be an option, which means you'll need attorneys to respond or risk a default judgement against you for the full amount of the lawsuit.

It's a bit baffling that some of you tards just can't get the most obvious things sometimes.

Yeah I think he's missing the fact that it could go far beyond simply losing the domain, sometimes they have to learn the hard way for it to finally sink in.

To sue for six figure damages, they would have to demonstrate that it really, practically, caused six figures damage.

Wow, do you really think the site is worth 6 figures already? If you do, maybe I should sell it for $200k this weekend and walk away. Thanks for the advice. I will let you know how it goes.

You are wrong. They don't have to demonstrate anything. They are entitled to automatic statutory damages per instance of infringement. $100,000 max per instance. It has nothing to do with the value of the domain or site or sites income or money earned with the site. ZERO. They will then further allege that you are counterfeiting their marks, site etc and sue you under the civil RICO statutes and go for triple damages. Plus, they will allege all sorts of other damages and most likely try to recover legal costs. I could see this turning into an easy $400,000.00 USD claim.


Here is the KEY POINT.

They don't have the "prove" anything at all to force you into court fighting a costly legal fight. They simply have to make allegations. You have to show up and fight. It costs money to show up and fight. Lots of money.

Here is what you don't seem capable of grasping. It gets "proven" in a court of law and in front of a judge and jury. Them proving you did, you attempting to prove you didn't. You won't have the option to NOT defend yourself. No matter what, you have a real risk of being sued and being made an example of and you will most likely spend over $10,000 USD on legal fees just trying to come to a settlement. Not to mention if you are sued, you'll have to file a well worded response to the complaint which is easily going to run into the many $1000s just to avoid a default judgement against you.

Fuck Rico.
I like the idea, good luck with this new project camperjohn64.

btw.. this is basic Domain 101 stuff. Waste your own time looking up the countless lawsuits for trademark infringement against domainers and registrars. Or... you could just let one simple site bankrupt you and ruin your life because you're a moron, listening to other morons.

is that a custom script your using for the site ?

how can i add these girls as friends?

So many of you guy's are scared of this shit.. It's a domain name. You think every dude out there that registers something with "facebook" or any other trademark in the domain know's about the copyright/trademark? You will take the site down/hand over the domain. Are you just trying to scare the guy because he has a unique idea or what?

Good luck with the site man. I like the idea and hope to see you do something great with it if its using the current domain or something different. Keep us posted on how it works out for you.

you kidding right? I can sue you for thinking your a moron for 6 figures and you would still have to pay a lawyer to defend yourself. I may not win but i could still sue you.

I would win in this case as this thread and your posts prove :thumbsup

Yeah, when they register the domain, they usually know it infringes on the trademark. That's exactly why he registered this particular name to begin with... Thats why this whole project is resting on a foundation of illegal behavior to begin with, all of which is proven with his own admission in this very thread.

His reason for registering the domain was to capitalize on the name of a multi-billion dollar company, the popularity of their brand, their trademarks, the money they spend building their brand, the fact that the brand is instantly recognizable to surfers all over the world and they aggressively go after people who do that for good reason.

Why is that so hard to understand?

No one has to know a domain infringes on a trademark to be guilty of trademark infringement. Thats a pretty naive comment.

It honestly hasn't occurred to you that I know what I'm talking about?

It is a simple fact - at a minimum, the use of that single domain is potentially $100,000.00 in maximum statutory damages to Facebook. Thats just what they are already entitled to under the law.

There are companies and individuals who have been sued for 8 figures, who made only tens of dollars or hundreds or thousands for doing nothing more than registering and parking trademarked domains.

You have to be a total idiot to not take something like this serious.
:2 cents:


Anyway, I'm done schooling the children. Like most, you will have to learn the hard way.

I've never used FB, and have no interest in it, but am I right in thinking if someone clicks "Like" then your website link appears on their FB page? Is that the "point" of it? If so, since every website seems to have a "Like" button, won't your site just be in a mass of other sites they've mindlessly "Liked"? Does it actually achieve anything?

It is probably like bookmarks; I don't use them unless I forget where the site was and
google works just fine anyway and so I still don't use them that often even when I forget.

Wrong:helpme

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

Thats either a realdoll or she blew $80 on makeup for that pic.

you do know that facebook started by rateing girls photos if it works they would still be doing that know

I think anyone that registers "Facebook" dot anything, while using Facebook colours for their site design is pretty well an idiot.

That makes you an idiot, too.

this is gonna suck.,

you not only have thier name in domain but you also using theme of their.


not a good move.

Are you Serious?

That - alongside the domain - makes it look and feel to me like a phishing site. I'm not saying it is - though with a minor change it could be - but it sure feels like one when you expect to simply give someone a rating and it pops up asking for your FB login details.

These women look great .

Pics are too small and seems only one per girl.. another reason for it to fail.

Go ahead, congratulations ...

that domain can be taken away in a heartbeat

add option to zoom pics
