Help - Need an opinion about buying a site - Newbie - GoFuckYourself.com

cornhusker · 07-15-2004, 01:02 AM

I need the good hearted webmaster's here at GFY's input.

I'm looking to purchase my very first adult website, an I would appreciate it if you could give me your opinion on whether it is a good deal or not.

The website I'm looking at buying is:

http://mrpornmovies.com and .net

The man I'm looking at purchasing it from seems like he's an honest guy, and he told me that this site makes a minimum of $800 a month with zero work at all, and around $1200 during non-summer months. He's asking for mid $xxxx.

Do you think it's worth it?

How muc htraffic does it get and wwhere from

cornhusker · 07-15-2004, 01:19 AM

Trades and search engine traffic, he said "in reality it gets over 20,000 hits a day" however he didn't say if they were unique or not.

MikeHawk · 07-15-2004, 01:26 AM

Where is the traffic coming from?
Content who is going to do all your updates and with what?
Lots more to consider....more questions to be answered...

I have a profitable bridge cheaper than that if you're interested, here's a pic

Lights are extra though..

cornhusker · 07-15-2004, 01:31 AM

He said he uses a company called SexKey as his main sponsor, and it is 100% automated.

graphicsbytia · 07-15-2004, 01:36 AM

if it's 100% automated and makes good money, why would he want to sell it?

doesn't make sense

cornhusker · 07-15-2004, 01:38 AM

"The reason we are selling is because we have bigger plans ahead of us involving most of our time, and we already have bigger sites that we are keeping."

He said he wants to use this money to fund larger projects.

graphicsbytia · 07-15-2004, 01:40 AM

hmm.. I don't know cornhusker.. it sounds fishy to me.. but if you know this person and trust them.. well that's different.. otherwise, if I were you I'd pass

cornhusker · 07-15-2004, 01:47 AM

I appreciate your opinion Tia, and as of now I'm not sure what I'll do. The constant stream of a $1000+ is what enticed me in the first place.

Morgan · 07-15-2004, 01:58 AM

have him sign an agreement that if it doesnt make 800 the first month you own it, he will refund your money back in full.

just pay for it on a credit card and charge it back if he refuses

no problem cornhusker.. I deal with a lot of clients that are new to the business.. and what this guy is offering you seems too good.. now if it were a good domain that just needed devopment or some other type of added work, I'd be more inclined to look into it.. but 100% automated and he claims it makes a minimum of $800 a month with no work involved.. that sounds more than a little suspicious

cornhusker · 07-15-2004, 02:08 AM

True, it does seem too could to be true, but he provided screenshots of his statistics, so that kind of made me believe him.

80smetal · 07-15-2004, 02:08 AM

fools gold, come back in 1 month and I will say "told ya so"

Theo · 07-15-2004, 02:11 AM

i think i have seen this site for sale at dnforum

i wasnt very confident the traffic and money match with the real numbers

screenshots mean nothing.. anyone that has photoshop can fake these.. tell him you want access to the stats yourself

ohohohohh · 07-15-2004, 02:13 AM

better spend your money on beer

Indeed you have, and thanks everyone for their input. I'm leaning towards just starting a new program from scratch, does anyone know how much investment that would take? lol

so does the TLD include the sexkey aff account as well ? make sure the sexkey acc can be transferred, if 99% is sexkey money and its not then he can easily change the domainname and youre stuck with a worthless domain you just bought for a few k

that domain doesnt have any google ranking on either porn or movies...

cornhusker · 07-15-2004, 02:26 AM

Thanks, I'll make sure to ask him about that as soon as he comes online!

Build your own traffic sources BEFORE purchasing a paysite
