I have bought lots of sites but they are all smaller. Is there a way to place 100k at one shot and not buy some crap cirlce jerk TGP? Do the bigger sites have network of buyers that i am not privy too? I think I lack the skills for a paysite but maybe that is the next step. Otherwise it is more office/wharehouse.

Traffic, traffic, traffic.
One could own and control a ton of traffic for that kinda money as a one time inventment.SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60. -

Traffic is nice, but from where? Too vague of an answer.
Lets say you spend $25k of it on a hardcore movie paysite that you build, complete with 40 to 50 good quality exclusive scenes.
Obviously traffic is step two. But from where? SE traffic is obviously the most desired. But who sells it, what GFYers have had good personal experiences working with traffic-merchants, etc?
That's what I'd be curious to hear as I've always generated traffic myself via TGPs or other trades. But for the next step up on the food chain, those that purchase quality SE traffic, where do you go?

I'd buy some semi-exclusive content, and several TGPs. Have the TGPs feed into each other and the paysite, then bring in a bunch of outside traffic from other TGPs, hardlinks, and search engines.Comment

To add to that then.... I would buy or develop paysites that fit the HUGE amount of traffic he has and open them without an affiliate program. If he has the traffic already, then learning to profit from in on both ends would be great.SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR.

I have bought traffic from every source I could find. Traffic is awesome, and I buy every month. I was thinking more along the lines of buying a big tgp. Or a free site. Something that had bookmarkers and real surfers. My "other" traffic sources are awesome but I do not have the knack of making them stick. I suppose with that money I could push a TGP to the size I wanted. Just buy a domain and feed the shit out of it for a couple of years.Comment

Yeah, I guess thats what I was meaning. Own the traffic as in controling it on a number of tgps. I have talked with DamageX and others about it. Most all agree however, that its better to own a bunch of smaller tgps/mgps like 200k a day sites then one big one well usless that one big one as the Hun or something. haha!
In my mind it all goes back to traffic and the ownership of that traffic. If a car does not have gas, it wont run. They are buying it somewhere ya know.

Buying a 100k in traffic in a short period of time would be folly. The best traffic brokers sell stuff that is untested for a price that matches the benz payment that month. Or put your ad up late, pull the ad, run the same ad over you. And that is the big guys. The little guys are slow to deliver and can do every trick in the world. No way to keep an eye on that many buys. imo.Originally posted by Shooting_ManicYeah, I guess thats what I was meaning. Own the traffic as in controling it on a number of tgps.

slapass, with your se rankings, I think you could do fairly well with your sites as far as tgp/mgp. Maybe partner up with someone and have some niche paysites. You can get that traffic going to them with your se listings, have your partner be someone familiar with paysites and the backend of them etc.Comment

Really looking for ideas. Of course, I have stuff I am doing. I was very tempted by the paysite that just sold. Something like that would be a good fit. Something niche that I could drive traffic. I have some projects to create bookmarkers. So just looking at doing it quicker with a decent aquisition or a nice direction.Comment

Try and do this. Much harder then it sounds. I do have typein traffic now. I have been on a buying spree.Originally posted by WiredGuyWhat about buying a great type-in domain? If it has a good mass of typeins it should retain its value and make money over a relatively short term (under 2 years).

I'm not going to pretend I have all the answers here, but If I had 100,000 to spend in the market, I know what I would look at first.
I'll give it to you in private in exchange for a thank you once your done.
Nothing earth shaking, but just a trend I think I found. Its going to be a while before I'm competing on that scale, so I dont lose anything.

Dude... why would you spend 100K in the adult web without innovating?
Spend the money either making something needed but not done yet or buy real estate with it that is in foreclosure. Then flip it for something bigger and not have to pay taxes on the gain.. keep going until it is worth 1 million (with an initial investment of 100K it won't be very long) and then move into larger chunks of real estate.Comment

Shoot niche content, make video deals to license DVD & PPV, build several niche sites and start a small program. Great content pays for itself. Traffic is sometimes unpredictible.I've trusted my sites to them for over a decade...

Let's do some math based on your idea:Originally posted by PornwolfShoot niche content, make video deals to license DVD & PPV, build several niche sites and start a small program. Great content pays for itself. Traffic is sometimes unpredictible.
You've got: $100k
You need: Five niche sites, affiliate program, promotional tools, hosting, etc.
Major costs: (all just guesses, feel free to rip them up)
-Building of the sites: Do it yourself? If not, say $5k.
-Creation of all promotional material (20 x hosted tgp galleries, banners, other shit for each site, as well as a bunch of 30-second tgp/main tour-friendly movie trailers from your best content) I'll guess $3k.
-License affiliate software: Just going to use CCBill crap? If not, say $5k.
-Shoot 50 exclusive niche scenes (10 scenes per site) and license another 300 DVD/home-shot scenes (60 scenes per site). Avg licensed bulk scene = $25 per scene. Avg semi-exclusive private shoot scene = $500/ea.? Never had one shot myself, no idea here. If these numbers work, you're at $7.5k for the licensed content and say $25k for the 50 exclusives.
-100mbps Hosting: Has to be Tier 1 I'd assume, say $35 per mbs, so $3.5k for the first month. Also assume you're going to be doing free hosted movie galleries, if not, you could reduce this figure.
Let's see where we are so far.
Sites - $5k
Promos - $3k
Backend Affiliate Software - $5k
Content - $32.5k
Hosting - $3.5k
TOTAL - $49k
So we're at nearly $50k, and there is no traffic yet for either the sites, or the affiliate program.
Questions:
1. What am I missing?
2. How many affiliates could $50k buy in terms of advertising on webmaster boards, etc. Never been involved in one myself, wouldn't even know where to start, but say GFY/Ynot/etc. Typical avenues.
Answer those two questions and you can then take the average affiliate signups per day figure (3?) and figure out gross rev.Last edited by Mako; 05-27-2005, 10:29 PM.

you are missing contnet management software, security software, affilaite rep. and other stuff i have no clue on.Comment

For content management software, how much do you need? 60 scenes per site could be done once, by hand, pretty easily I'd think.Originally posted by slapassEscort biz said it was 50k for one site.

For security it's just getting Strongbox up and running, isn't that good enough? No idea what it costs, but it can't be very expensive. Affiliate rep I have no idea on, what is that Slap?
On the 500% return, she's saying that she grosses $250k per year then? Is that before or after the affiliate split and other costs?

I don't know what the limit or threshold is for members on these sites, but whatever it is it's nothing to sneeze at when you're grossing $25 per.

before I'd start more paysites I'd build huge amounts of traffic in the niche so I can live very well of my own traffic
I can not recommend anything else
as far as the 100 grand goes... I had the same question come to my mind a few days ago
I wanted to go with mainstream but then the question... where to go? where to find people selling their mainstream sites“.... and then I was lost
I am missing resources here
if anyone thinks he can help me here with urls and such please mail me. people who help me never regret having done so
oh... as far as investment goes... I put $40k on a certificate that I think is going to make me a lot of money in the next year (and secure either
)... you might want to look into that market as well...

1031 exchange ... no loop hole. not non taxable. tax defered you will pay the gain one day, or your heirs will.
only tax exemption on real estate sales is if you live in the property for 2years and then sell it within 3 years after you move... you don't pay on captiol gains up to 500K or some shit like that.ICQ: 86364801 Email: will [at] innovativeassets [dot] com
