men.com -vs- askmen.com

[d00t]

how about firing those running it and selling it to askmen?

[sternyduke]

askmen.com, with it's consistant updateds & wealth of info is why i bookmarked it years ago. though i think krl is a cool guy, men.com will never be any real competition...

Not all projects will be hugely successful,

KRL never bragged about the domain name as well other then mentioning the sale, so you guys should just shut the fuck up please. From what I see, he's just one of us testing things out, seeing what works and what doesn't , Thats perfectly fine.


I think some of the advice in this previous thread was pretty good as well, Espcially the one where you need to think out of the box , with a different idea, This would differenatie you from askmen.com

One of my best friends owns Ask Men. They started out just three guys and worked their asses off and kept plugging away. Now they are part of the IGN-FOX Network. Pretty kick ass if you ask me

thank you! I was wondering where he got that info from.

askmen.com would not even sell for one tenth of that amount. even 1/100th would seem high.

You'd be surprised how much they sold for. AskMen is the biggest Men's magazine online. They are about double the size of Mazim online. Look at the timeline. IGN bought AskMen to boost their portfolio and secure the $650million sale to Fox. AskMen is worth more than you think

I do think men.com is a crappy site but to compare it to askmen.com is not a fair match, askmen is ran by a company who already has a million daily users, its easy to migrate your user base when you have a network of sites with critical mass like ign

http://corp.ign.com/

They were bought buy ign only a few months ago. Prior to that they were run independantly with I would assume a much lower budget than Men.com. They just knew how to get the most out of every $$$$.

askmen.com was bought by IGN for $650 mil, even comparing pre-acquisition is a way unfair match.

Look, askmen.com had the employees and executive power to make all their shit happen.

men.com's owners are probably still stuck in their porn high. Being a millionaire doesn't make you a business executive by financial authority either.

I disagree. They started AskMen.com in their last year of university. No prior business experience. No outside help. Little Capital. Just hard work and natural smarts.
