playboycash.com - doomed to fail?? - GoFuckYourself.com

Terenzo · 11-05-2002, 08:26 PM

i was pretty excited when i heard of lensman was involved in http://www.playboycash.com/ and i believed the members of the boneprone family when they said this will be the next big thing, but now i just realized that this latest playboy campaign will fail again:

in expectation of joining to the program we prepared our searchengine placement and purchased some playboy related domains, now, we got contacted by playboy/or one of its lawyers to drop those domains or to pay a $100,000 fine.

now i ask, how can we promote playboy without taking advantage of its brand name, i thought this was the reason to use playboy-partnership program instead of ars.

???

Muahahahahaha! You put up pages already!?!! Hahahaha! You should have waited til the program went live! They will never catch my 42 Bunny domains!

Oops, did I just say that?

Imagine the spammers flocking.

hehehe

Guys will click on PLayboy spam for sure.

hahahaha

I've heard Playboy is extremely anal about their copyright. But you have a good point. If they expect to make some good money, allowing people to use their name will make it much easier. Hopefully, Lens can talk some sense into them. They obviously know shit about Internet marketing.

Last I heard, they were going to "clean up" the Playboy name..?
Take away the nude chicks in it, cuz they meant people should read it for the articles. Aint that a cliche.

I'm pretty sure Ox is cool about it. My friend makes a mint with them, Ox is more than happy about it.

Morgan · 11-05-2002, 08:58 PM

I dont see the shit selling too well anyhow. Is it going to be softcore stuff just like the magazine??? Or are they going to have real sites too?

playboy could benefit from it's strong brand, but that's gonna be a problem. if the relax a little bit, they soon will dive out of shit.

Oh Playboy will sell.
If they concentrate more on the "porn" part of it.
I doubt they'll sell hardcore on that domain directly though.
But it'll sell, even with only softcore.
Perfect 10 does pretty well, I dont think Playboy would do any worse.

that's why i already started se placement.

KingK7 · 11-05-2002, 09:13 PM

We used to spam Infoseek for "playboy" about 5 years ago.
It did quite well, until Playboy sent us a C&D, I think it was for the domain playboypictures.com

Pornkings · 11-05-2002, 09:19 PM

Fuck Hef.

Why help someone who has it all already.

Pornwolf · 11-05-2002, 09:47 PM

We'd have to send him about 120 million dollars worth of profit before he would notice the extra money.

TheFLY · 11-05-2002, 10:14 PM

I can't wait until I can tell chicks that I work for Playboy...

Turboface · 11-05-2002, 10:21 PM

I got a C&D email from Playboy's lawyers, a few years back when I was just getting into the biz.

Because sometimes helping others is really helping yourself.

Out of those 12k raw, how many are unique? I just started watching the traffic I'm sending them. Example, today I sent 200 raw to Bang Bus and only 100 were unique.

Any idea how they're tracking?
