Let's hope that fuck it up like the last company did.

lol sex.com It was good back in the day when it was just a page full of seizure inducing flashing banners, it was like a fucking contest on who could make the quickest flashing banner.

Clover Holdings Limited, based on the Caribbean island of St. Vincent

Maybe they had no problem to pay that

Exclusive interviews with mainstream female stars about sex and
their work/lives would be a big draw. Those interviews would be
linked by every major news outlet and drive traffic.

As a mainstream company they could advertise on TV and radio and
even have billboards. And who could forget the domain when it's type
in time.

Women's magazines still sale like crazy; this could be the biggest online
women's mag in the world selling mainstream ads and products.

What makeup company would be stupid enough to not run an ad??

- Contract 60 doctors to write one article a month on women's health.
- Hire the new Dr Ruth.
- cosmetic surgery : the inside scoop; who does it in your area?
- Soap Opera sex, what does it really mean? :1orglaugh

Endless.
Taking it mainstream with an idea like this would work :thumbsup

all the products they could sell to women are endless. birth control, tampons,condoms etc

The domain is likely considered damaged goods as a porn property by a lot of potential porn consumers. Rather than try to buck the history of Sex.com's failure as a porn site, maybe shooting for a "sex-positive" appeal to a largely female demographic is worth consideration?

In other words, why not go in a Cosmopolitan/"Sex in the City" direction with the domain? The demographic for those properties has serious spending power, and relatively little interest in porn, I suspect.
haha - thats exactly right - you guys think they would monetize with PORN TRAFFIC??? hahahaha

Serious biz :winkwink:

there's a multitude of things they could do with that domain, steering clear of porn will be the best move they can make.

Semi-Retired-Dave 10-21-2010 10:18 AM
Keeping Sex.com away from Porn would be the best thing they can do.
Time for a change.

So much you can do what that domain in Mainstream.

Kenny B! 10-21-2010 10:39 AM
Amazing how one of the most expensive and sought after domains has such a dark cloud over it, and pretty much since day 1

stocktrader23 10-21-2010 10:44 AM
There is plenty of shit you could do on that domain that is mainstream, some might work. But the monkeys in here saying porn wouldn't cut it don't know a damn thing about shit.

FYI

That's like saying that we can't teach "sex education" in schools because
it's called "sex" and the course must be R or X rated.

The word is "Sex" not "Fuck".

Your sex is what you are, as in male or female.

I mean, where do you live where your drivers license doesn't have the
word "sex" on it?

you can't build a business off of all the webster dictionary definitions for sex. try applying it to the real world.

'sex' as in gender: what are you gonna do? show a picture two people and say "this is a man, this is a woman. the end"?

sex education: probably one of the better ideas... but, for it to be informative enough it's gonna have to take a Love Lines or Sue Johansen approach. Once you start taking about dildos and orgasms, you've crossed into the R to X rated realm like I said. and who will advertise at a site such as this? yeah...

and once you decide to add a community element to sex.com you're really asking for it.

yes we teach sex education in schools. and there are plenty of parents who don't even allow their kids to learn it that way. they surely aren't gonna allow a site called sex.com to teach them.

Very interesting purchase... don't expect the domain to be one for porn.

This time, it may well work....

Exactly. Doing the same thing would be failure once again.

You are hung up on hardcore sex and seem to have no clue that sex
can be a softcore subject that isn't "dirty".

Hardcore sex is selling at an all time low.

you missed my point completely. i'm saying that women's magazines or whatever do not fall into the category of 'sex'. sexy? yes. do they discuss sex? of course. but they wouldn't name their magazine Sex or classify it under sex.

you're right - it doesn't have to be hardcore. nowhere did i say it should be. i'm not hung up on anything.
