Deb:
According to Yahoo there are 7369 external pages linking to debsdeepthroat.com. I had a quick look and all had a 2257 direct link to your site so it's possible that Yahoo is NOT counting the links via refer.ccbill.com (which is a redirect to your site), so the actual number may be higher.
I can't imagine that after being in this business for 7-8 years that you could honestly think that it was fair and professional to close down an established site such as yours in such a short time. That doesn't even give most members enough time to complete the membership they've paid for, which could result in some "surprise" billing transactions in the near future.
Some people have suggested rotating your content but here's another idea: turn it into an archive only site. State clearly on the tour and join page that it's not updated, and reduce the monthly price accordingly (or don't rebill at all). Yeah, that's still pissing off the affiliates that took the time to create ways to promote you, but at least they don't lose *everything* they've worked for.
At the very least I believe you should set up a script that recognises certain referers (ie your affiliate's domains) and redirects to a URL of their choice. Placing a TGP onto a paysite domain with thousands of affiliate links is definitely Not On.Comment

fuck whats fair, do what you want everyone else does in this biz and they're all stand up top notch people and throw an AFF popup over your tour while youre at itComment

Oh, please don't
I have a blog based on your content and lots of galleries (90% of them listed on thehun)...
At least leave it the way it is for 6-12 months or sell it.

ok,
After serious thought about your posts...insults too, this is what I am thinking....Having someone else take over the site, a NEW debsdeepthroat so to speak, a new fresh younger face while all content stays in the members area as an archive along with the new girls stuff....that way any links old and new will still be good...This seems like a much better idea than a tgp out with the old in with the new sorta thinghttp://www.gothamscreenprinting.com

Now that's a great idea, would be a real waste of quality traffic if you send them to free porn.Comment

$ days is too short notice , many sites will still have promo on their site linking to you. YOU will harm them by having it send to a tgp. Just allow the traffic to flow a few weeks and then take the site off. YOu will be making some money from the signups and the recurring transactions...just my 2ccc
What will you be doing with all that content?Comment

Sounds like an awesome idea.ok,

shut the fuck up surfer - how are her customers getting screwed, they paid for porn, they got it, when the porn no longer is there or they aren't happy getting recycled content they can cancel. unless they've hidden the cancel links customers don't get screwed.
amateur and solo girl sites aren't forever - most girls do retire whether they are successful or not.I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!Comment

wtf, why not just leave the site up and not touch it? the retention will go down but you will continue to make money
my wife got out of the business almost 2 years ago, but we left her site up just cause it makes money...we NEVER touch it and affiliates still are making good money off it
I have honestly not even surfed to my wifes site in 2 monthsComment
-
seriously, Deb, leave the site up and just let it sit there...don't do anything to it, don't update it, don't touch it...just let it sit and make money
even with it just sitting there and never updating it will be better than 75% of the paysites out thereComment

Wow...didn't know there was another webmaster this close.
How close are ya to the bridge to canada?Comment

Yeah good deal on re-thinking the idea. Converting your site into something that it has never been is twice as hard as just letting a site you've already created retire. Ride the rebills and let your affiliates push it as a classic site. If you want to start a new site then open another site or just add to this one. It takes years to build up all of that traffic and it'd be a real shame to lose all that hard work by trying to re-juggle it.Last edited by Steve Awesome; 04-25-2007, 09:49 PM.Comment

I don't think this can be said enough - JUST LEAVE THE SITE UP!
Or sell it to someone that will pay what you think it's worth
Or partner up with someone that will run it for you
Just don't take it down!
unless you make no $$$ ... in which case i would understand how you could be burned out.

Someone who pays for a membership 2 days before the site disappears and becomes a TGP is not getting screwed?Comment

Up to her last statement of sanity -- does anyone really think you can expect intelligent business decisions from a lady who's made her living from sucking dick for the past 8 years?
Precisely.
Still glad you've come to the brilliant decision to leave the site up, Deb. Le sigh.Comment

I do hope that Deb is refunding every one of her members their last month's membership fees. Otherwise her actions would be contributing to the problems we all face of keeping our billing companies stable, and not giving Visa and the banks even more reason to consider us too high risk.Comment

That brings up a good point. The right thing to do is refund the members, however when or if she does do this, will the affiliates get stuck paying 50% of the refund?.I do hope that Deb is refunding every one of her members their last month's membership fees. Otherwise her actions would be contributing to the problems we all face of keeping our billing companies stable, and not giving Visa and the banks even more reason to consider us too high risk.Comment

IMO Keeping the site running would be easier than closing it down. If Deb is burned out being in front of the camera get another wannabee porn star to fill her shoes, buy in exclusive from content producers, buy in non exclusive for content providers (we have a few scenes suitable
)
Leave it up as an archive site or rotate the content, both excellent alternatives to closing it down. I'm assuming you are leaving up the members area or refunding all the members money if it comes down.
But as many have commented this did not make sense at the beginning. Debs we have Deep Throat Videos.Comment

the site is still up and did you even bother to read the thread or just post?I do hope that Deb is refunding every one of her members their last month's membership fees.

I think she and her hub just got bored of doing this, not just sex, but also this biz, they probably just want something else ... It's like when you feel you wanna a vacation after lots of work ... Good decision to keep up the site, though ...$9.95/month for 15000 GB bandwidth monthly, unlimited (sub)domains and MySQL5, PHP4/5, 500 GB disk storage!
