Anyone else see the irony of the new GFY Skin?
 

I do. :upsidedow

yep!

but it's one of those nice ironies :thumbsup

kind of.... You see coke and pepsi in the same ads now too.

It happens... call it "co-branding"

I see the Money :1orglaugh

I dont.
What is it?

yep.. I was just joking about it with the gf :)

Playboy and Penthouse have different demographics anyway. One soft, the other hard.

Penthouse - advertised on a Playboy owned product...

What's wrong with this picture?

Penthouse is hard? :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

still funny to see penthouse sucking playboys cock.

Used to be no... but the last few years they have had insertion, penetration and watersports... not to mention moneyshots.

I guess ICS has some flexibility to operate.

Playboy would never run a Penthouse Ad in their mag,
But they would never run BigSausagePizza.com either....

LOL awesome screenie...

lol, thats a nice screen cap

Harmony In Porn...everyone join hands in a nonsexual way

I am lost . . . . which one is hard?

I did but it is all buisness.

Different dish networks are advertised on cable tv, so about the same difference.

The difference is the content... They are both print magazines, sure... they both have websites and webmasters programs... But they also are both fighting for free speech and without one, the other surely would have a much harder time with the fight.

It is obvious that many of you guys have not seen a penthouse magazine since 1990, you will never see that material in playboy.

the new skin looks very good.

Nothing wrong with this picture. In this medium, it is normal.

I don't really see a reason why they whouldn't take the ads thought

that was the 1st thing i thought too ;)

We've been promoting reciprocal 'guest galleries' from competitor BDSM/fetish colleagues on our websites for years. Its a business-as-usual thing. It all comes down to target demographics.

Looks like nothing has changed at all.

The checks will have Penthouse stamped on the right?

Man whoever cashes the first check please take a picture of the tellers reaction.

it made me laf when I first saw it

internet is not a magazine biz
porn surfers have no brand loyalty
if they did, playboy or hustler or penthouse or vivid would have been king long time ago.

Their money is just as good as anybodies

Initially, I grinned a bit, but eh....money is money.

Slavdogg,


I disagree. I think the internet is not brand-blind, it is full of micro-brands -
very narrowly defined sites which people feel are credible in a single topic.
Like www.sleepinginairports.net . People wouldn't buy airline tickets on the site but people trust it in if they have a long layover in Charles de Gaul airport.


For our brand, I think
1) everyone knows what it is
2) many people associate Penthouse with growing up
3) people feel more trusting that they won't get hidden cross sells or other bullshit which they hate and makes them go cancel before they enter the members area.

If even 1 guy in 500 is more likely to buy a membership with us because he trusts the brand, and the tour is otherwise just as good -> that is a significant increase in conversion rate.

I remember you posting good things about Vivid when they launched their program, and we had a much better earnings per click on other adult brands than the big webmaster programs.

Brand is peoples' preconceptions before they hit the tour. Penthouse by definition has part of the sale already done when the person clicks.


Thanks, mike

I can see allot of old school penthouse fans jumping on board but for the new surfers I think it's free game.

I wonder if pentouse still has those dick docter ads :1orglaugh (not that I need it)

It's funny to see big names try to dominate the online world but fail horribly.
Time will tell...

nope --......
