WWW.SEX.COM >> WTF Take a look - GoFuckYourself.com

HXMGP · 04-02-2007, 08:08 PM

Their site only has like 3 banners on it and you can't search it or anything. Has it been hacked or something?

Fluid · 04-02-2007, 08:10 PM

nope
It's not a hack

Jarmusch · 04-02-2007, 08:11 PM

They finally realized there's no money in TGP.

Spunky · 04-02-2007, 08:11 PM

Somethings fucked up

HXMGP · 04-02-2007, 08:17 PM

yeah because I purchase Yahoo PPC traffic and they use sex.com as one of their traffic sources. I haven't gotten sex.com traffic all day. No wonder it's a bit low for my PPC today.

mikeyddddd · 04-02-2007, 08:21 PM

That's just sad.

HXMGP · 04-02-2007, 08:22 PM

anybody know what is going on there?

blackfeet · 04-02-2007, 10:08 PM

you make more money with just a few banners then a whole bunch of links or banners. all that ppc advertising is nickel and dime if you really think about it. it may benefit you as an advertiser, but with a domain name like sex.com they could make a lot more money then with ppc advertising.

i'll give you some of my secrets free of charge.
i just took a zanax and i'm feeling melow. ;)

i have a link list (link dump i should say) i joined every affiliate program with my niche thinking visitors would be interested in at least one of the links or galleries when they visited my site. then i tried something different.

i went into my ccbill account and looked up a whole year of sales to see which sites brought in the most sales. then i put the top 8 sites on my main page with descriptions, (no teaser photos) then i created a page and named it link.htm. i put my webmaster trades and the other weak sponsors on that page. i named the link page ***webmasters trade here*** and placed it at the bottom of the main page.

so now when new visitors would visit my site, they really didn't have much of a choice to choose from. you have like 3 minutes to grab their attention before they leave. i found it's better to have 2,000 hits a day visit 8 sites instead of 20,000 hits visiting 150 sites and/or a bunch of free galleries.

plus, if you have too many free galleries, visitors have more then enough porn to satisfy them to a point where they really don't need to join any site. plus they get confused and don't know which site to join. cut down on your galleries and have no more then 3 sponsors with 4 MOVIE galleries from each sponsor. (besides the original 8 sponsors with descriptions.)

create a table with a heading of the sponsor (joe blows website) and a table underneath with 4 links to that sponsors galleries. (movie 1 movie 2 etc.)

(do not use teaser pics. they'll now click the link because they're curious. if they don't like the teaser pic you use, they won't click that link at all.)

my advertising budget went from $150 a day to about $20 a day max now and i make almost as much as i did with all the links and a big budget. target your keywords and stick with your niche. don't be tempted to use general terms like sex, porn, xxx etc. you'll be wasting your money. stay on target.

also, i found out that a few movie galleries are better then photo galleries. photo galleries give visitors a chance to fantasize because the pics are still. with movie galleries, it doesn't give them enough time to beat off.

this works well with link list for me. i'm not sure if this is what sex.com is doing with just a few banners. they may be just testing to see what works for them.

i've been doing this since "97" and i keep learning something new everyday. always keep testing, testing, testing.

side note:

i was getting a shit load of hits from google each day when i was spending about $100 bucks a day with them. when they started wanting to charge me $1, $5 and $10 per keyword i had to drop them because i couldn't afford to pay that kind of money. i figured my business was screwed. my sales dropped so low i wasn't sure how much longer i would be in business. i stayed focused and knew i had to think of something and i did. there's an answer to every problem if you don't give up. hope this info helps some of you.

i do miss the other sex.com format before they sold it. i also advertised with them myself. sure wish i owned that name.

Makingcoin · 04-02-2007, 10:30 PM

Looks like they moved over to getporn.com

.

the banners convert not better than 1:3000, probably worse

with a good PPC parking program they would earn far more

but the banners are probably paid advertisers, who are losing money on it anyway

Legendary_Samir · 04-02-2007, 11:25 PM

How much did they pay for it?

blackfeet · 04-02-2007, 11:31 PM

but notice how they place the banners on the main page and place a small link to getporn at the bottom with hundreds of links? same idea i'm using and it works. only thing is i don't use banners.

What do you mean "link to getporn at the bottom with hundreds of links?" There is a link to getporn at the bottom by itself and that's it...

RawAlex · 04-02-2007, 11:42 PM

Total of 3 banners on the page (homegrown, flirt4free, and one other... and a like to getporn.

That's it.

A true marvel of innovative marketing.

StarkReality · 04-03-2007, 03:20 AM

Damn, is it so hard to hire a few people and let them design and build a paysite review site...would probably make them alot more than trying to make money like in 1998

DamageX · 04-03-2007, 04:06 AM

For those who haven't realized it yet, what they did was use the sex.com type-in traffic as feeder to launch a TGP. Now they've moved it to another domain, fucking over a bunch of their trades in the process, and sex.com goes back to business as usual.

en21 · 04-03-2007, 04:09 AM

damn... this a story

Sarah_Jayne · 04-03-2007, 04:17 AM

well, if a surfer is going to click I guess they won't have to think too hard of which banner to click..bet they do make money though

HXMGP · 04-03-2007, 04:18 AM

Talk about putting all your eggs, three in this case, in one basket

I bet those sponsors are loving the traffic. Let's hope they aren't shavers too

HXMGP · 04-03-2007, 04:29 AM

At least now my Yahoo PPC campaigns are getting mostly yahoo only traffic. I'm spending less per day and now going to see if the Yahoo traffic converts better than the sex.com

sweetpurple04 · 04-03-2007, 04:45 AM

this all news to me ...

lalika · 04-03-2007, 04:58 AM

Our traffic is pretty much pure typin traffic at this point. That is changing

may they're still preparing for new contents for the site...and instead of putting "site under construction" the opted to put banners on the page...

Quick Buck · 04-03-2007, 06:46 AM

I'm suprised they've never just set up a real simple page that lets people filter down what they are looking for. Maybe 5-10 total text links.
