Adorable.com. Help me decide what to develop into. PLEASE! - GoFuckYourself.com

Luc · 03-03-2006, 12:55 PM

I've decided to develop one of my domains, Adorable.com but I'm undecided as to what exactly I should do. I'll need to throw some advertising bucks at it no matter what, but I could use some help as far as what people might want to see on there.

I'm thinking...
1. Adorable pets. Place where people could upload and share pictures of adorable pets. Already kinda started (http://www.adorable.com/pl).
2. Auction place for animals, dogs, cats, birds, etc.
3. Dating site, though I don't think guys would put their info up on a domain like "adorable".
4. ??

Let me know what you think it should be used for. I'd prefer no porn, and I know this community has many webmasters doing mainstream as well.

Feedback is appreciated. Also, if you are interested in buying the domain the current bid is $16k.

Thanks Guys!

make it into a blog network

where people can make and host blogs of their babies

like a diary of their newborn babies lives

Luc · 03-03-2006, 12:58 PM

but your idea doesnt sound bad either

sonofsam · 03-03-2006, 12:59 PM

sorry bro, nothing comes to mind

Actually, don't limit yourself here - expand that to pets as well as children -- like a rate my cute...thing type site...

This is fun!

DutchTeenCash · 03-03-2006, 01:00 PM

a nice post your newborn site with some purchased ads n all will do

Trixxxia · 03-03-2006, 01:02 PM

I'd try to find a teddybear reselling program. Maybe make a deal with the people from buildabear - maybe they'll drop ship something for you. But loads of things can be 'adorable' so you can certainly do alot with it in terms of reselling.

**On a sidenote - Someone from the industry heard it was my daughter's birthday and surprised all of us when it got here. My daughter's face was PRICELESS when she heard it wishing her HappyBirthday and had blonde hair like her .... Well it's a damn good concept. Again, Sir, thank-you cuz she holds that teddybear dearly when she falls asleep at night

Forget porn man, turn it into a place people can post their baby or pet pictures..

Theo · 03-03-2006, 01:56 PM

pets site is perfect

gornyhuy · 03-03-2006, 02:02 PM

nonnude teens... you pedo.

gornyhuy · 03-03-2006, 02:04 PM

Actually, a baby blog/ baby announcement site is brilliant.

Include announcement email e-cards, myspace style postings, rate my baby, mugs/tshirts prints with cafepress, etc.

gfx3 · 03-03-2006, 02:13 PM

I'm thinking about teens, or the pet thing could work. Perhaps you would make more money with teens, however if there isn't such a rate my pet site it's worth to consider that option as well. You would have to build a portal site for pets in order to make money from it.

CC · 03-03-2006, 02:49 PM

Definitely go mainstream with that URL, man. It would be a waste if you turned it into a generic teen paysite, IMO. That is my best advice. I personally would go with a baby/toddler/little kid pic post. People love to show off and if you give them each a dedicated page, you'll get tons of free viral marketing from everyone sending the URL to their entire address book. Also, IMO, it's worth way more than $16K.

Pornwolf · 03-03-2006, 03:01 PM

Pets and kids. The blog idea is perfect.

You will make huge amounts of adsense dollars with that one.

Luc · 03-03-2006, 03:22 PM

thanks for the great feedback guys. looks like i'll be going with a blog / pic post site. so far the best blogging script i've found is bloghoster ( http://www.bloghoster.net/ ).

anyone know any other script? this one runs around $400.

Theo · 03-03-2006, 03:24 PM

pets is perfect,i though about pets before reading the thread topic i think

not random event

Luc · 03-03-2006, 03:30 PM

another thing. what would be the best way to promote a site like that? ex: baby/toddler/pet pics & blog site. any site recommendations will be appreciated.

Lace · 03-03-2006, 03:32 PM

hold on...auction off pets?

thats sad.

Violetta · 03-03-2006, 03:40 PM

very nice domain!!

czarina · 03-03-2006, 04:02 PM

For sure go mainstream. Dont limit your self with adult on this one.

Scootermuze · 03-03-2006, 04:12 PM

Just think about how the word, "adorable" is used the most in the work-a-day world and go in that direction..

Already mentioned, but babies and pets are two of the largest groups where the word is widely used..

That is adorable.. she/he is adorable... there's your direction..

Banner ads should work well for you. Just find some good sites frequented by women 25+ and you will have no problems. Actually 30 to 40 is your sweet spot though.

thanks bro.

you guys are the bomb. i already got the blog setup. will have my guys start working on the site design and something should be whipped up by mid next week.

thanks for all the feedback guys. glad i asked because my ideas for the site were pretty damn stupid compared to some of yours!

gfx3 · 03-03-2006, 05:02 PM

I would think this thing out by myself and have it custom made. There are enough blogs, a portal site would be something new, well not new but more renewing than a blog.
Person can log in, create his own page with his pet pictures, other people can comment on the pictures, give it a rating, be able to bookmark his favorite pet pages, get a forum, pet chat etc...
When you have traffic they will fight for advertisement space. If the custom scripting cost 1 to 1.5k it will pay itself back.

CC · 03-03-2006, 05:08 PM

Yeah I agree, forget the blog format, you need a custom script to do this project properly.

realed · 03-03-2006, 05:29 PM

sell the domain and make $$$$$$ ? ;-)

BigBen · 03-03-2006, 06:42 PM

A portal site for parents on raising their children. Show them how adorable their kids are and they'll be happy to spend money on the ones they love the most. Sell clothes and stuff that they think would be cute on their kids. Could work if you add pets too.

Young · 03-03-2006, 06:47 PM

Kids/baby toys, books, clothes and advice. all packaged into one.
