My new website...could use some professional opinions
 

Hey guys,
I am about to launch a new website within the next 2 weeks and I was hoping to get some professional opinions from all my GFY peeps.

I don't want to be accused of spamming, so I wont post the domain in this thread unless there is anyone really interested in checking it out.

So, if anyone would care to check out my new site and let me know their thoughts, I would really appreciate it.

Just let me know!

feel free to spam it, everyone wants to see it :winkwink:

Can't make any comments without seeing it.

Haha...I sense some sarcasm in your 'tone' TeenCat!

The site is www.Body.com

Keep in mind it is still a little bit buggy in some places and it is still in the QA phases.

I'm just hoping to get the opinion of my peers.

I'm also very interested in some worthwhile marketing opportunities, so please dont hesitate to spam me with anything you can offer me!

should sell domain

Just bought the domain a little less than 2 years ago...I want to see what I can do with it before I sell it.

nice domain, site doesnt really fit domain for me everybody is doing free porn videos, good luck with your sales on that, look like your using full length you will get alot of traffic maybe you can hope to convert adspace, decent design what script? Where did you (cough) obtain your content? Popcorn out for that question...

regards

Great domain.

domain much better for bodyspace clone

Haha...thanks Tony!
Yea, I'm hoping to try and make some cash on some of the ad real estate as the traffic begins to grow on www.Bodycom.
I think it's pretty obvious I'm not attempting to re-invent anything, I'm just trying to see if I can get in somewhere while there might still be time...plus, I thought the great domain name would really help with the branding.

The design is a proprietary script that my team in Florida and in the Philippines came up with together. It's really just influenced from a bunch of other good scripts we dabbled with in the past. I don't think it's totally original, but I really like it.

The (cough) content...who am I...what is this place?!

Thanks...hopefully it will pay off!

hm man what a great domain, but i think you will have to put there something really special to make as much money as you will make selling the domain ... imho on sedo auction you can make a bank, you got a nice gem in your hands, do not waste it with stupid boring free porn, sell it! :winkwink: :2 cents:

Don't be silly using Body.com on an adult site!

FASHION MAGAZINE!

There are TONNES of add on useful products, tools and advice.

Dating corner, sex advice, clothes, body mass index calculator etc., healthy body, grooming products, body lotions... get some writers for the magazine then you have a thousand knick knacks to sell!

Thats actually a great idea!
I honestly just went the easier route of building a porn site since that is where most of my experience lies. I'm really keen to give it a good try for the next year-ish and see if anything comes of it. Otherwise, I may sell the domain or build a more robust site around it.

great domain name :thumbsup

links pulled

I agree, don't "taint" the domain with adult. You've got a ton of potential in mainstream with that domain.

Not sure if you want to share or not, but I would be curious to know what you paid for the domain? If not, I understand.

Great domain, probably not what I would associate with the domain body though, go down health care route etc or sell on must be worth a fair bit :P

With a domain like that you're sitting on a Goldmine and wasting it in adult. Cam Girls and Fiddler have the right idea.

Also take a look here and see what Google coughs up.

If I had it I would turn it into shop/advertising site.

Don't sell it unless it's for very big money. Make money from it yourself.

That name is excellent but it has more value in mainstream.

Thanks guys, i do agree with a lot of your input and it really is being taken into consideration.

I would mainly just like your input on the actual website if thats ok with you?

Thanks!

I agree with the mainstream comments, maybe a bodybuilder site?

So, where did you get the content then?

huuh you own Body.com and you decide to make a free porn tube on It? 6 figure domain.

Domain name made me think of http://www.bodyrock.tv not porn.

6 figure domain yes...

The decision to go with a porn site was just because it was something I have the majority of my experience in and I could get something cool up and running fairly quickly.

I already had a ton of content hadn't used that I had purchased over time from previous projects. There is also a decent amount of user submitted content through out the site as it has been getting a small amount of organic traffic over the last few months.

In any event, as I said before, I'd rather just hear what you all think of the actual website itself...design, functionality, etc. It would be good to get the advice and opinions of my respected peers in the business.

Also, i'm interested in purchasing traffic to Body.com for when we go live in a couple of weeks...so please let me know what you might have for me!

waste of a good domain on a tube site. harder to sell on after to non-porn people.

Health and weight loss website with a associated bodybuilding and health forum. :2 cents:

Hire someone in the industry to help jump start.
I wish you the best of luck. :)

Thanks so much for your input!
Others have suggested that as well...something to definitely consider.
In the meantime, I am going to make due with the site I have already.

I'd just prefer to know what you and everyone else might think of the actual site itself...dont really need to hear anything about the domain.

in the homepage i think you need to move the quick links box from the left to the right, so you can have more videos on one raw.
i'm looking it from a mac book 13" and i can see only two video per raw, row ... wth i don't remember ... lol
2 vids per line. here we go :D

i like the logo
and the site look like light and very 2.0 :)

4 letter, single word domain...is worth a tonne.

1) I agree a mainstream, fashion website is way better idea.

2) How much did you pay for the domain when you bought it?

people are getting crazy for this domain :D

'Body.com' is a health and fitness domain. Not sure it's ment to be a website reminiscent of Pornhub.

Seriously, I would ask Victoria's Secret or a body building giant like Golds Gym if they're interested in purchasing the domain. :2 cents:


Deidre

Thank so much...that's exactly the kind of info I was looking for!

I welcome everyone else's input on the site, so long as it's not about the domain anymore, lol!

Should have made this thread a year ago with the title:

What should I do with this premium domain?

Here is my honest input .....

Sex.com is still the best example of a wasted domain but Body.com is closing fast.


.

Honestly, if you have a domain like body.com, and your best idea was to setup a free tube site on it, I'd just sell the domain. If you're not going to sell, I would immediately take that site down. There's crawlers archiving your site everyday, so in years from now, people will be able to see what your site looked like today. You're greatly devaluing the domain by having that site up there.

Then I think you got some excellent advice above. The fashion magazine is the one I'd probably go through, because the opportunities to monetize there are almost limitless. If you do it right, you could be a multi-millionaire in a year from now. A tube site isn't going to make you that kind of money though.

Fair enough...
Thanks for the advice. It helps to hear all this stuff, I do appreciate what everyone is saying and I'll take it into consideration with my business partner as of tomorrow morning when we chat.

man, seriously, i think you have no balls to make gold from that domain other than selling it ... someone who have team and money to invest can make great website on it, you will just flood with with useless shitty banners and promo materials ... sorry man, sell it, or what lpink said, you are another sex.com ... but not my domain, not my business, have luck :thumbsup

dont be a dummy with money!!!
