    would you and your partners entertain the idea of changing the format of men.com from a straight men's into a gay men's site if shown that a re-investement would show a better ROI than what you are looking at now?

      i find it funny to think that just cause gay traffic converts better the trolls think it's the only way to go. they fail to say on what traffic SOURCE it converts better

      think about this - there might be a cap on the amount of gay traffic to get to men.com - and straight traffic would have a much much higher cap and many more marketable options...

      example - gay traffic might convert 1/40 - but ONLY to gay sites and such - and might cap at 30,000 hits a day - which would be HUGE in the gay marketplace - i don't think there's even a gay tgp that big....

      but men.com might get to 200K + a day being straight - and then it's markerable to EVERYTHING -no converions to worry about - he's got the same marketplace as any normal men's magazine and those clients don't even worry about conversion - they just want branding. - it's MUCH better option long run


      but try and explain that to a short sighted troll that thinks that conversions are everything - good luck - idiots that have never done anything in their lives ALWAYS know the best way for others to run their business.


      but what do I know - i'm just an idiot

          I looked at all the options, including the gay market. I spoke with the CEO of Gay.com early on about doing a cross marketing and content deal together. At the end of the day, the numbers just didn't justify the risk in pursuing a limited single demographic niche accounting for only 15% to 25% of our traffic. And when you figure the gay market will still respond to mainstream advertiser offerings, it really didn't make sense from a risk perspective because we'd be blowing off the majority of the mainstream traffic. So the decision and long term plan is for straight mainstream.

            Actually the gay traffic market value is higher than straight, even though you can get a lot more straight traffic, gay is worth more per visitor by a lot. Forgetting about the gay marketing on a site like men.com is retarded. Men.com can easily market to straight, gay and bi, and triple it?s revenue for people only wanting to brand its products. It?s not maxim, stuff, or any MENS mag, it?s an online site that can easily cater to all men.

            Men.com should be for "MEN", be they are straight, gay, brown, white, etc.

            And now to help out what you called the "trolls". Speaking off... This is basic online mareketing 101. You can take a course and learn this at your local college, or go to about any online seminar (adult or not) and learn about gay traffic value over straight.

                  cloland does 80k/day *shrugs* doesn't change it's still a smaller market.. but i think people sometimes tend to devalue the gay market based on it's size.. not it's profiability.

                                correcting spelling is usually a sign of repression - means you have sexual problems/fustrations - usually it's a sign of a homosexual longing and repressing that urge.

                                just get laid with someone who turns you on - it will release a lot of tension within you and you won't be searching for spelling mistakes anymore. sometimes it helps to fuck a person ie a girl that looks like a guy - or a guy that looks like a girl - aan easy way to bridge that gap without freaking yourself out

                                    this psychology "theory" really has no backing.. state your sources Dr. Sleazy.. i highly doubt there are case studies of people correcting moron's spelling problems.

                                    although your advice of "just get laid with someone who turns you on - it will release a lot of tension within you and you won't be searching for spelling mistakes anymore. sometimes it helps to fuck a person ie a girl that looks like a guy - or a guy that looks like a girl - aan easy way to bridge that gap without freaking yourself out" really seems like something you recommend, try it much?

                                        Please King Sleazy, enlighten all of us to your great achievements in life. Post count doesn?t qualify as an achievement; it?s more of a handicap.

                                        I might as well have some laughable entertainment tonight.

                                            I would think a design more along the lines of this would be better.

                                            I mean, they've certainly got the money to put up a decent looking site. It certainly couldn't hurt, right?

                                              And yes, I agree, Men.com is rather pathetic. A monkey with half a brain could probably do better... but why do you guys give a fuck? Mind your business.
                                              Its always the guys with less than to rub together , who are the biggest critics But they could do it so much better

I spoke with the CEO of Gay.com early on about doing a cross marketing and content deal together. At the end of the day, the numbers just didn't justify the risk in pursuing a limited single demographic niche accounting for only 15% to 25% of our traffic. And when you figure the gay market will still respond to mainstream advertiser offerings, it really didn't make sense from a risk perspective because we'd be blowing off the majority of the mainstream traffic. So the decision and long term plan is for straight mainstream.
                                                thanks KRL - i was just wondering and thought you had explored the myaraid of avenues on every level that could be taken with this url.

                                                some people here mightve gotten the gist of my post while obviously some others didnt...

                                                  I don't agree with the ones bashing what KRL's done with the sites, but COME ON JFK!! You'll start sounding like Sleazy. Plenty of examples where guys with little money and great ideas go on to become billionaires. Even many of this industry's successes have come from backgrounds that weren't well off.

                                                  There could be a dozen guys who might do it better, if they had the money and opportunity. The whole money equation is old, tired, and means very little.

                                                  I didn't like the old design. It felt cheap. I do like the new design, and hope it works for them. It will be great to see Men.com finally clear the obstacles out of it's way, and rise to become something enormously successful.
