Ahhh...Sex.com...takes me back to the days when I first discovered the internet with my buddy Al Gore.

That logo says it all. It's looks like the regular Tgp logo design.

No cake, only money wasted.

I'm sure the ROI on that deal is at acceptable levels.

I hear Made For Adsense sites pay real well. :winkwink:

Hard to believe someone paid $12 million for it to put even what's on it to us Americans. They should just give it to PR so PR'll have both Sex and Porn.

seeric 03-31-2009 01:22 PM

guarantee you i could make that a household .com. no questions asked. no one has ever had a direction with that site. give me the VC and the domain and watch it work.

starpimps 03-31-2009 02:04 PM

1. steal a bunch of content
2. open tube site on sex.com
3. ?????
4. $$$$$

rayadp05 03-31-2009 03:30 PM

What a complete waste. :(

BradM 03-31-2009 03:31 PM

The most worthless ownership ever.

slapass 03-31-2009 04:00 PM

I bet the parking does better then the actual site.

well....lets recap

rick bought it for 75000.00

he sold it to KRL and his "partners" for 3,000,000.00 shortly thereafter.

KRL spent months telling everyone how idiotic they are for not understanding "mainstream advertising"

GFY continued making fun of the site for a couple years or more for what an abortion it was

it has very little type in traffic. today, it probably makes 150.00 a day or so.

it isn't bad, expected much worse - problem with current front there's no consistency at all, each new click goes to completely different layout - I for one get lost in such messy structures - its like wtf where am I now?! each and every page feels just like an advert on its own. it would be cool if they could branded a bit better in to layout their social networking (does it even exist?), VOD and shop, for now it doesn't give any incentive to go back to it :-/
Sex.com - you need a social aspect going and then upsell them whatever you want to upsell all done in a consistent manner. If you're reading this - get in touch with me, we maybe be able help fix your site for you :)

Zorgman 03-31-2009 07:18 PM

What would you do with this domain if you owned it?

TGP, tube, paysite, ppc engine ?

I think it worked perfectly as a PPC adult search engine. I know Gary made a ton from it before as a PPC engine.
