See you stupid GFY fuckers? The man is elite afterall.

KRL go fuck yourself.

KRL ran a contest for page layouts and headers, and most of those look way better then the current state that men.com is in now.

GTS Mark 10-08-2005 08:26 PM

Ahhh KRL don't worry so much my man, you know what they say "when people stop talking about you, that is when you should worry." ;)

CANNABIS.COM is Profitable ... 7500 visitors visit daily - high quality traffic!
 
You're off by at least one order of magnitude ... $750K is more like the number I'd be tempted to "jump all over it".

Approx 7500 visitors PER DAY and grosses around $100K per year - much of that being net ... approx $8000 gross currently with around $5000 being net ... equating to $60K per year NET.

I have several bonafide offers well over $100K with a few in the $250K - $300K range ... and one, just the past week, in the $500K range.

Plus even had two bids on CANNABIS.COM when I put it on Ebay ... $125K first time, and $250K the second time. The bids weren't exactly world-shattering, but point is that to get 6-figure bids on Ebay says a lot - there's a lot of interest and value in CANNABIS.COM

Many experienced folks in the domain business believe CANNABIS.COM is worth close to / more than a million, but most investors just don't have enough money to buy it right now.

CANNABIS.COM is a great domain and the numerous bonafide offers I've received are proof-positive of that...

Offers may be directed to me at [email protected] and/or [email protected]

KRL, while it's definitely true that GFY is full of haters who love nothing more than to see others fail, I think what really made you a target is when you claimed that men.com would be worth over $100 million two years from when you bought it, and now that two years is almost up. Anyone who boasts or talks big like that on GFY is going to get bashed if they don't live up to their words. You made yourself a target for the GFY haters.

Your current team sucks ass.

If I wasn't in pornography, I'd be a software engineer. And I KNOW that software developers can't come to a client and say "no micromanaging"...You know WHY your team is saying that shit? It's because they're not letting YOU come up with the specific requirements for what you want.

Any Software Engineer knows what Requirements are. If you don't already have a good and SOLID idea for what you want them to do, then they will NEVER be able to do shit right.

Any moron on this board could make men.com a gay banner farm and then kick back and make money. Why hire a "team" of morons who will make you nothing more than a mainstream banner farm?

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.

slapass 10-09-2005 08:27 AM

The original post is tupid. You have no idea what askmen.com nets. We know that men.com has offers for double what was paid and even more. I do not build anything and I can see him just sitting on it for a few years and selling it for big $$$. And the problem with this is?

How do I get DopeSmokers.com to do that?

On another note, I used to have a "tiny" link on Men.com that went to my gay site, ohhh do I miss that :sadcrying :sadcrying :sadcrying

Ron Bennett 10-09-2005 11:00 AM

I've definitely going to pursue consulting - already done quite a bit already over the years for free for friends, advertisers that advertise on Cannabis.com), etc that has proved to be very worthwhile $$$ for them.

In regards to DopeSmokers.com ...

Easiest thing to try first is redicting the traffic to a herbal smoke (legal weed) affiliate program such as http://www.HerbalSmokeShop.com

If you want to potentially earn much more, you'll need to develop the domain to some extent ... there are numerous approaches that could likely work - email me if you desire my consulting services.

Have any proof for that?

monaro 10-29-2005 03:11 AM

G'day,
The site Men instantly delivers to myself a understanding about products to buy and stronger focus towards advice on relationships. With quotes like; "How to catch her eye! & How to win her heart!" Is it just me being because im single and am interested in starting a good wholesome relationship?

Black background works well enough to control my focus on particular ads, The blue text on your left side channels made myself wait for a few moments, though I concider myself to be patient enough to wait for the channel background color to load so I could read what other goods men has to offer.
I do not know the owner other than reading from what I am able to read and taking thought into my own mind that it is theirs and looking in from the outside I accept what is offered to myself on men.

In closing I can clearly see the value of bookmarking men to visit in my leisure time.

Have a great day.
Mark

d00t 10-29-2005 03:32 AM

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

sternyduke 10-29-2005 03:33 AM

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...

Oldy 10-29-2005 05:39 AM

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

Shap 10-29-2005 07:33 AM

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 :thumbsup

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 :winkwink:

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 $$$$.

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.
