Danni is worth more then Jenna, on the internet value. Jenna however is a bigger brand, but i wouldn't think it would be that big of a difference. 3mill for danni is a steal.

Overture Searches Danni Ashe 32000 Searches Jenna Jameson 500,000+ searches I agree Penthouse got an absolute steal but to compare Danni and Jenna is silly. If you run the numbers Jenna had 23,000 to 35,000 members when she sold. If Danni was that size then it would have sold for much more. Jenna is way bigger than Danni online and offline. Danni has been retired for 2 years and hasn't been in the news or anywhere for two years. The two women are in two completely different leagues. |

It's never pleasant to not acquire something we were in the market for. Danni had been on our radar for some time and we were pursuing a deal. Unfortunately Penthouse beat us to it and they got a killer deal done. Kudos to them on a great pickup!

Playboy did get a good deal on Jenna. The public info says
"Playboy paid $7.7 million at closing, with additional payments of $1.6 million, $1.7 million, $2.3 million and $4.3 million required in 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2010" I bet the future payments would have been tied into some performance matrix. Jenna is still active on having her name in the front (she was on news 2 days ago) so their is a brand while Dani has been out of site for 2 years Jay |

Jenna is bigger than Danni Ashe in the public imagination now, but PB often overpays so I think we got the better deal when all is said and done. However only time will tell. For now, we are focusing on updating the member experience so Danni.com is back on the cutting edge, the tours are converting better, and the place is firing on all eight cylinders. Thanks everyone for your encouragement! |

I think PB bought Jenna at her peak and you just picked up Danni at a low. Definitely a good time to pick it up. A few changes and you'll have it kicking ass in no time. Back in 99 and 2000 i used to do $10,000+ a month with danni's. I know alot of affiliates (myself included) are hoping to see the return of the amazing danni sales numbers |

not surprised at the price. goes to show the changing landscape of online erotica. a website named after a figurehead buxom model gets long in the tooth as the figurehead model ages. there is a shelf life for female beauty. they sold at the right time and got a healthy figure for it. this ain't 1997 anymore. one of the biggest money makers in '97 was janey.com i'm told she made her big coin selling to panty sniffers. not much market for sniffing grandma's crotch. it's all about the wrinkles. |

Hey Shap…
Reading up here, I didn't know Danny retired, that kind of fills in a huge gap. Still a good buy for the brand though, lots can be done as long as doesn’t get overdone. I think 7.7 for the Jenna brand and site is a good deal too, just don’t think she had anywhere close to 25k members. -- Penthouse, DRM doesn’t improve retention, that’s a myth. You can take the same content, re-stamp it, open two different sites, update a new video/photo set a week, one with DRM and one without, they will retain the same. DRM just costs you more time, money, and headaches. If you plan on setting up PPM billing on videos then that’s a different story.

Wow, nice if they end up with 18 mill out of that deal, even more so if they made 12m a year and still get 18m out of the deal.. Nice little bonus.

So Molina/Galanis are allegedly out and Bell is the flavor of the day - time will tell. That is one fucked corp and has been for decades.

Guccione did some crazy things like publish alien autopsy pictures and invest in nuclear fusion back in the day, but I think that is just part of the wild days of porn. If most people went from zero to half a billion dollars in assets, they would do some crazy stuff too.

LOL... you should refer back to your previous post about perception.... everyone obviously thought the site was worth more, she obviously saved enough money... going right back to that same loop
nothing is ever what it seems...or what people speculate it as being... |

But remember em well - you remember the Caligula movie and the casino adventures? It was disappointing to see some of these plans - you kinda new they were not going anywhere. The last one I heard of was a proposed mag in the Balkans or somewhere - not a hope in hell, tho this was supposed to be the savior. Kinda painful watching the empire slowly stagnate and sink over a few decades. Never really kept up with the story of Molina et al - who knows, it may have a better chance of earning some dollars if there is commercial ability at the top.

Wow, 3 mill sounds low at first, but I guess since Danni left and the company was going to shit, as well as the stock options they got, it might have been ok...
Depends how much stock options they got as well I guess... |

It hasnt really been mentioned but I guess the SEC disclosures will list the cash outlay vs the stock option value in the 3 Million number. If only a portion of the $3M is in actual cash, then Penthouse really got this on the cheap. Like Shap pointed out, Danni.com is really a distressed property right but if they got it without having to put up alot of cash, the downside to this deal is not as low as the highside if they do a turnaround. I have followed Danni.com probably closer than the average bear here since our company has history with them, and for the longest time have looked to be hurting.
Congrats to Penthouse on the pickup. You guys work magic there as well as your print title, you should be crowned the turnaround artists of Adult. |

Mike, Congrats to you and Penthouse for the purchase of Danni.com
Penthouse is starting out like a 'new Internet powerhouse' with Jill Kelly now Danni... what's next XonDemand.com ... hehe.. I hear from Hoovers online that Penthouse Media Group (PMGI) isn't in the hotel business, but it does allow pets into its penthouse. Mike, hit me up when you get a minute... I sent over the Jill Kelly details last wk, I will followup with you on danni also now, I love Jill Kelly and Danni 's it's great content ; we will get you more exposure on our network for both ; |
