    The biggest waste of bandwidth on the web

    my vote goes to sex.com

    what the fuck were those guys thinking when they turned it into a PPC engine?

    what kremen shoul dhave done is the following

    1) started up tgp.sex.com - image the sheer quantity of bookmarked surfer traffic that site would have now

    2) made it into a paysite ie. ebony.sex.com - imagine the huge ass member base that site would have now

    3) made it into an affiliate program - they spam webmasters anyway so rather than just spamming them for nickel and dime amounts why not spam them for an affiliate program where they can make long term residual revenues instead of webmasters spending $50 on testing their traffic, finding out it is pure garbage recycled and never buying any again

    4) left it as a cohen banner farm, even though cohen was the biggest crook of his time the site still made money

    anyone have anything else they would add to this list?

          maybe after all the legal disputes he was low on dough.

          completely agree, he could have developed the domains and
          made millions every month, but that takes time. PPC doesn't
          take time.

            Waste of bandwidth and domain

            [QUOTE=Sig Whore;3346069]my vote goes to sex.com

            I agree with you. I heard that Kremen is broke and living off of his doctor wife. Kremen should have allowed Ron Levy to manage the domain.

                      Thread from 2004. This is OLD just like the sex.com story.

                      Move along.

                        Funny, over the years, sex.com just went in one big giant circle. And now it's back to where it was in 2004.

                                    Why not put your own placeholder on It with sponsors that you can tweak instead of just parking It. You are missing out on a lot of free SE traffic.

                                      cant believe people still bring this up. sex.com never did as good as it did once it hit kremens hands. Had no clue what was going on...and as the saying goes "dont fix what ain't broken." It was a well oiled machine cranking in consistent advertising dollars, and most advertisers at the time were pretty happy with the results...most kept coming back each month! Oh well. Great read from the past if people are ever interested in learning about it. And Cohen was a pretty unique character!!!! There should of been a mini series on this. Maybe Chis Mallick can write a movie on this!!!!!
