Does anyone do anything with Yahoo Groups anymore? - GoFuckYourself.com

Jace · 06-18-2006, 03:26 AM

I have a ton of groups that I have basically just pushed aside a long while ago, does anyone have anything that they do with them anymore?

If anyone has any ideas I would love to hear them, or even if someone wants to take mine off my hands I would trade them for something, no clue what I would trade them for, but if you want them, make me an offer

Zester · 06-18-2006, 03:37 AM

any of them of any niche?

total or per group?

Nismo · 06-20-2006, 04:50 PM

doesnt matter

SilentKnight · 06-20-2006, 04:51 PM

We used to own ExtremeBondageFantasies Yahoo group which at its peak had 14,500 members and over a million page views.

But Yahoo deleted it without warning or explanation (like a lot of other groups).

We also owned MaleTorture Yahoo group with over 5,000 members - same fate.

So we gave up on Yahoo. They're fucking useless.

Fizzgig · 06-20-2006, 04:51 PM

I used to work Yahoo groups but it was a long time ago.

I built a few up and the rest I just started a let go....I never really did well with any of them them, and never had the patience to get them up into the thousands, but a few of them got that way

there are also a few "official" porn star groups in there, with the actual porn star as members, but porn stars are flakes and never post or come to the groups

I think they are too, but some people have nice luck with them....I think it is all depending on how much you work them...I never had the patience to play and figure out what worked, I am too good at other shit I do to take the time to figure out what will work on YG

blackfeet · 06-20-2006, 05:02 PM

most yahoo group members want shit for free.

or they join just to spam their group.

Chio · 06-20-2006, 05:03 PM

That brings me back. I still own adultegroups.com. It was pretty big back in the day when Yahoo stopped giving adult egroups in the search results.

I hear ya'.

We worked hard at buildin' up the two I mentioned - we just figured the groups were a good (and easy) way of being interactive with fans of our other paysites. I constantly posted a lot of our own originals on a daily basis for a few years, which attracted a lot of interest.

In retrospect, I don't really regret Yahoo axing them, though. They WERE time consuming to maintain...and we never really proved to ourselves the traffic was any good other than leechers.

i had forgotten all about groups, up till this post. Im sure i have some from back in the day as well. Gay groups always did well for me with my gay sponsors.

I had a lot of my group posting stuff automated. I am a huge fan of automation.

I love having scripts running sites, doing promo, getting sales. I can just sit back and make silly pictures in Photoshop

I still have a few floating around..must be 5 years old by now

BVF · 06-20-2006, 08:41 PM

I got my start from yahoo back when they were "clubs"..I started it in 2000 and it grew to be the second largest active black club in all of yahoo...When I opened my site in 2001, I emailed my group and I got a signup within an hour...Now my group has almost 20,000 members..it's good for sending out galleries cause you get a little boost of traffic..kind of like submitting to a medium large tgp...and I keep in touch with my fans by emailing when I update...

I've started some yahoo groups some time ago but i was very disapointed. It's TGP traffic....99% freeloaders.

i have a yahoo groups toplist, you guys should submit your groups there:
http://www.groupsportal.com

Barefootsies · 06-22-2006, 07:21 AM

No.

Choppa · 06-22-2006, 07:50 AM

no not here

bobbyjuly · 06-22-2006, 08:02 AM

Mostly freeloaders, but i had good response on my group till yahoo x it. I would say in a niche group your signup rate would be 1:1000 or so. And in my case group was over 34K members so it worth to post a message once a week. It is like TGP, you gotta put the time into it before hand.

I am glad yahoo killed it, so i have more free time now.

bobbyjuly · 06-22-2006, 08:06 AM

The problem with the member numbers are some groups have 50-80% bouncing members. And some nice maintained ones are almost 0%.

Groups would be a value depending on their name if someone wants to build onto it. I would suggest put up the group names, so you attract guys that way.
