Playboy and Penthouse have different demographics anyway. One soft, the other hard.

Harmon · 11-14-2005, 02:22 PM

Penthouse - advertised on a Playboy owned product...

What's wrong with this picture?

Penthouse_mike · 11-14-2005, 02:27 PM

I guess ICS has some flexibility to operate.

Playboy would never run a Penthouse Ad in their mag,
But they would never run BigSausagePizza.com either....

Different dish networks are advertised on cable tv, so about the same difference.

V_RocKs · 11-14-2005, 03:21 PM

The difference is the content... They are both print magazines, sure... they both have websites and webmasters programs... But they also are both fighting for free speech and without one, the other surely would have a much harder time with the fight.

Murderous · 11-14-2005, 03:25 PM

It is obvious that many of you guys have not seen a penthouse magazine since 1990, you will never see that material in playboy.

L4 libido · 11-14-2005, 04:39 PM

the new skin looks very good.

pornguy · 11-14-2005, 04:40 PM

Nothing wrong with this picture. In this medium, it is normal.

Doctor Dre · 11-14-2005, 04:44 PM

I don't really see a reason why they whouldn't take the ads thought

We've been promoting reciprocal 'guest galleries' from competitor BDSM/fetish colleagues on our websites for years. Its a business-as-usual thing. It all comes down to target demographics.

Man whoever cashes the first check please take a picture of the tellers reaction.

it made me laf when I first saw it

slavdogg · 11-14-2005, 08:05 PM

internet is not a magazine biz
porn surfers have no brand loyalty
if they did, playboy or hustler or penthouse or vivid would have been king long time ago.

Spunky · 11-14-2005, 08:18 PM

Their money is just as good as anybodies

Monique Niccole · 11-14-2005, 08:23 PM

Slavdogg,

I disagree. I think the internet is not brand-blind, it is full of micro-brands -
very narrowly defined sites which people feel are credible in a single topic.
Like www.sleepinginairports.net . People wouldn't buy airline tickets on the site but people trust it in if they have a long layover in Charles de Gaul airport.

For our brand, I think
1) everyone knows what it is
2) many people associate Penthouse with growing up
3) people feel more trusting that they won't get hidden cross sells or other bullshit which they hate and makes them go cancel before they enter the members area.

If even 1 guy in 500 is more likely to buy a membership with us because he trusts the brand, and the tour is otherwise just as good -> that is a significant increase in conversion rate.

I remember you posting good things about Vivid when they launched their program, and we had a much better earnings per click on other adult brands than the big webmaster programs.

Brand is peoples' preconceptions before they hit the tour. Penthouse by definition has part of the sale already done when the person clicks.

Thanks, mike

chaze · 11-14-2005, 08:52 PM

I can see allot of old school penthouse fans jumping on board but for the new surfers I think it's free game.

I wonder if pentouse still has those dick docter ads

(not that I need it)

emthree · 11-15-2005, 04:44 AM

It's funny to see big names try to dominate the online world but fail horribly.
Time will tell...
