I think you are over-valuing your network, which is understandable considering the work you have put in; can't blame you. Really though, in spite of your past performance in the industry, it sounds like (from what you say) they have only a solid 3 months, which is what the valuation should be based on imo.

Email coming your way.

Pffft.

Konrad's script alone costs a minimum of $1500. Some of the domains have value on their own even without traffic and sales.

I'm sure some people are going to try to rape me with insulting offers, a few of you already have. I'm not desperate for cash and I have no problem continuing to just collect the checks from the sales and let the domains that don't have any intrinsic value expire over time.

On the other hand, money today is better than money tomorrow, and with the new project I'm starting I'll be away alot and it would be nice to just make a clean break from adult altogether and not have to spend time worrying about what the current wordpress exploit is so I can make sure I'm patched or what next thing the government may or may not try to do regarding obscenity etc etc.

I'm open to reasonable offers but I wasn't kidding when I said high X,XXX. Anything less than that, don't bother wasting your or my time.

Also, regarding your 3 months remark....it's not like these domains are 3 months old or only have 3 months worth of traffic history....it's just that about 5 months ago is when I stopped working them altogether.....so the last 3 months is a reflection of what the long tail traffic is for the sites, and it's likely to stay at or exceed these levels of traffic and sales long term, even if you do nothing with them other than change out the link codes.

Anything prior to 3 months ago will have a mixture of paid for traffic and active link exchanges and things of that nature, which is why I didn't say "hey these domains made 80,000 in the past 12 months", because that's not an accurate reflection of what the buyer will get.

Yep. Plenty of low ballers who think people will sell for 3-6 months revenue on established pay sites with a ton of content. Or making insane offers on sites will good scripts or cms's and think they are going to get the content, cms, and everything for nothing.

Simply makes me laugh.

Yeah. You gotta love someone claims he is 'big time' yet wastes his time trolling people, on multiple boards, who he claims are lesser than him. Kinda makes you think.

What makes me laugh is the fact that the faggot knows I have him on ignore, yet continues trolling me. Even more funny is that the dollar amount, and circumstances around my business partner's buy out keeps changing with every troll post he makes. By next week, it should be down to $2000.00.

:1orglaugh

You would think for as much time as he wastes trolling, he could at least get the facts right that he is going to keep parroting. But I guess he is busy. Distracted while laying off more employees, and trying to save his program with pre-checked cross sales.

Funny stuff.

Spot on Martin.

Unlike the trolls who frequent GFY and make fun of models who wouldn't fuck them if they were the last dick on earth, and make fun of webmasters who have made more in a month than they make in a year, some of us have skills, experience, and education that is valuable outside the world of the adult internet.

Once the value of those skills exceeded the income I was making from adult, it's a pretty easy decision which way to go from there.

Now I'm selling what's left over on my way out the door and the troll brigade led by (isucked)12dicks seems to think this handful of stuff is representative of all I've accomplished or earned in my time in adult.

Whatever.

If I could buy you for what you're worth, and sell you for what you think you're worth, I'd never have to work again.

And yeah, I was just "pretending" to be in this business on the weekends, because I'm soooooo concerned with what asshats like you think of me.....so I made up a couple of sites so I could pretend to be a webmaster and hang out on cool boards like this one and get insulted by you. :rollseyes

Settle down, never was or will be a troll - don't know why everything has to be so dramatic on GFY.

Script costs notwithstanding; what you have into a project is not the buyer's concern, only yours. I was simply pointing out that from the perspective of a buyer, the only thing of real value is the income it is generating and by your own admission the net profit does not even come close to high 4 figures.

I don't know about anyone else but I find it's not smart to bet on potential, especially in the current industry climate.

With that said, 'no thank you' is good enough of an explanation for me.

Good luck with the sale.

Why would anyone buy anything from your sites when you are giving it all away free?

Take what you can and run with it. Because you can only give so much away free before you lose it all.

Yeah, 1.4M in 7 years is 100K a year. Apparently you don't understand dates or math really well.

This is your business? Yeah, that's why you left and came back again after a few years, and the only way you can sell your POS sites is to hide charges on other people's join forms.
You're "in this business" the same way a leech is "in someone's anatomy"

Your insults "might" sting a little more if you didn't use the exact same ones on everyone who has ever disagreed with you or questioned the exorbitant value you've placed on yourself.

As it is, I could take over your account and post for you, and nobody would ever know the difference.

All due respect Dave but you don't know what you're talking about.

That site has been online as a tube for about 6 months, and was done as an experiment. The videos aren't HD, they're SD.

I made my money the same way you did, by teasing the surfer and making him pay for the good stuff.
The tube phenomenon crushed my business model the same way it crushed alot of people's, but on my way out the door I decided to try one, just in case the conventional wisdom on them was wrong. (There were alot of people, people like you, who said that TGPs were destined to fail for the very same reasons, and alot of fortunes were made there)

I wasn't able to make it work, at least not at a profit margin that made it worth the time and labor for me to run the site.

If I had tried my experiment by making a tube with nothing but 30 second clips or something, then that wouldn't give me very good data on how the big tubes perform in terms of ad productivity and pageviews per sale etc. I had to mirror the surfer's experience at a big tube in order to mirror the ad productivity and sales behavior ofthe big tube.

I'm sure that if we all agreed to put all hardcore porn behind an AVS like yours, we'd all make 10 times more money.....but that ship has sailed and it's a brave new world out there today.

This kind of all needs to go together as a package to make any sense, as I'll explain below.

The main things I'm selling are

secretsofporn.com
Tube site running Konrad's script. (info on the script is at mechbunny.com)
The script is unencoded and you own it, you can do pretty much anything you want with it (except resell it) You can have Konrad customize it for you or you can have your own people do it.

Site gets around 3K uniques per day per google analytics. (1/3 direct, 1/3 search engines, 1/3 links from the network)
The tube is what the GFY peanut gallery would call "legal", all of the non sponsor videos are purchased content that is licensed to be used on that domain.

19 wordpress blogs. These have some RSS feed posts but are mostly either handwritten or posts that used sponsor text but were made following our own unique format.
There are stats for these domains here
http://208.99.78.238/awstats.html

The list of blog domains is
bbwconfidential.com
bbwofficialsite.com
bigbootydirectory.com
bustyconfidential.com
cougardirectory.com
handjobposts.com
housewifedirectory.com
maturesexdirectory.com
naughtyneighborblog.com
projectamateurs.com
projectbooty.com
projectbusty.com
projectchubby.com
projectebonyporn.com
projecteighteen.com
projectlatinas.com
projectplumper.com
teachersexblog.com
vmilf.com


The blogs really need to go with the tube because they embed videos from the tube site in the posts, and the posts are used to promote both the sponsor who made the video and the tube site itself.
There is also a copy of autobloggerpro stand alone on one of these domains, if you want to use it to dish out RSS feeds to other sites. I don't use it anymore, but it's there if you want it.

The domains
4milf.com
barebuttcelebs.com


There's nothing on them really but I think the domains themselves are worth something.

These domains were used for TGP galleries and get a decent amount of archive TGP and search traffic.
socal-coeds.com
amateurcleavage.com
amateurpornlistings.com


There are also 228 feeder sites like this one.
40-inch-plus-0.com
(you can see more of them by following the links at the bottom of the index page)

They are all on unique IP's, spread out over multiple class C's, and they link to each other, the blogs, and the tube site in an A>B>C format. (I'm pretty sure there are 16 domains per C, and then the next 16 are on another C, etc. The C's are also non sequential, if that matters to you)

The whole thing is hosted on a dedicated box at Reflected Networks, at favorable terms. The easiest way to do a deal would be for the buyer to just take over the server at Reflected, and to take over my moniker account, which is where all of these domains are registered.

BTW, almost all of the domains have a good year or more left in their registrations. I did the feeder site project about this time last year and registered them all for 2 years when I got them.

The whole network has made 1 signup per day for the past 3 months, with zero work done on my part. No new blog posts, the tube is on auto pilot, no new gallery spots, etc.

I think fair value is low XX,XXX.....but since I know this is a buyers market, I'll consider an offer in the high X,XXX range.

I'm working on getting together a full list of the feeder sites with IP addresses and public webalizer stats. I will pass that info along to anyone who is interested.

Please email any questions or offers to [email protected] . You can also hit me up on ICQ 78465690

Uh??

Is this the exact network of sites, 19 blog and rest feeders that made you $100K a year? Approximately how long ago did this network drop down to 1 sale a day?

you are asking a lot for 1 signup a day on AVERAGE

you believe a lot of value comes from conrads script but you can not seriously value it at a price you bought it for...
if someone gives you 5 grand, take it and run or keep running it and let it die.

Agent 488 11-01-2009 09:20 AM

the sites run on auto pilot so why sell? takes zero effort to maintain your one sale a day.
