How much money do you think the Stilenet group of websites makes annually?
 

Lets hear some guesses people on how much he makes annually through a combination of signups on Camwhores, advertising revanue, and sign-ups via affiliate programs

These are the stats from his own advertisement sales page

http://www.stileproject.com/advert.html

Stile Project (http://www.stileproject.com)- 95,000+ uniques visits per day / 2 million page views per day

Cam Whores (http://www.camwhores.com)- 70,000+ unique visitors per day / 1 million page views per day

+ CamWhores memberships are 11.95/month

Stile Porn (http://www.stileporn.com) - 65,000+ unique visitors per day / 400k page views per day

Blog Wars (http://www.blogwars.com)- 5,000+ unique visitors per day / 50k page views per day

The SPF (http://spf.stileproject.com) - 5,000+ uniques visitors per day / 75k page views per day

I know they spend upwards of 100k - 120k a month on server bills if that will give you any insight as too how much they pull in.

who cares...we aren't the IRS

allegedly a bit more than that, with Camwhores running in excess of 8k per month alone for server costs

Thanks for your contribution. You really added a lot to the conversation.

:)

You're welcome sir...Maybe we should start a thread asking how much YOU make....

2 saggy old cloth cats or at least enough to buy them?

No big deal. Last year, before taxes, I made in excess of 85k.

Happy now?

do you have reciepts and paycheck stubs for that?
I would like to dig deep into this situation...Perhaps you could tell me how much bandwidth you burn each month?:1orglaugh

This thread is worthless.

Actually, yes. Its only money.

For those of you who do not like this thread, thats fine. Ignore it. I just posted it out of curiousity as to the earnings of some of the larger sites, and groups of sites out there.

:2 cents: For what it's worth I would be highly upset if someone was talking my finances here.

Therefore I will not comment on others. Hmm stats looks good he must know what he's doing to have those stats.

I find it funny how he write about how hes a poor guy living in his mom's basement. Anyone that has some webmaster knowledge can easily see that hes getting filty rich

Probably around $500K a year... rough estimate.

Speaking of Camwhores.. anyone use them as a sponor? if so, does it convert like ass for you

Im 1:1665. I'd like to think my traffic isnt that shitty. Especially when they claim it converts 1:20:(

Per month? No way. Per year? Maybe.

I don't think Stile does that well... Last year he had a fund raiser to help pay for a new server... He did get the money raised but that kinda raised a couple of eyebrows for me that maybe he does not do as well as you would imagine.

Ah what the fuck do I know maybe he is a millionaire living down in the carribean and not a lonely, jewish kid living in his mom's basement..

Fuck the guy must have some good lawyers for the amount of controversial shit that goes down on his site.

DH:glugglug

LOL why pay for something yourself if you can get others to do it for you?

Yea, I was wondering about that also. That server was supposedly dedicated to his forum, but the financial aspect does not seem to make sense. I posted roughly the equivilent of this inquiry on the stileproject forum and it was erased quickly, so there is something there for sure.

wow I thought stileproject was just about pictures of dead people and he ran it out of his moms basement. who knew?

rock on stile

They probably make $5k/month...

I sent some traffic to their toplist and the returns were total shit They could trade more than 500 hits/day I bet... it's just a shitty ass message board that posts stolen pics... a bunch of cheap ass jerkoffs hotlinking stolen pics -- that's all it is.

Yup agreed, and also if he made any real money at all he could buy a cheap server.

It definitely used to be, as far as their forum was concered, but not for about 6 months, give or take. The porn picture post was closed and anybody posting copywritten material is IP banned.

agreed,,, everyone hates a nosey fucker,,,

I know getting into the whole "Blog Wars" thing, thats goin a bit too close to mainstream - blog is used by alot of kids these days with the whole cam portal thing, and is shared and used by sooo many thousands of young teens around the world as a new generation of Netters and Anti Luddites...and I think its a bit too close to teen popularity.

Sites like live journal and the whole blog wars thing is really big among teens, and begins with message boards and gaming industries... notice on those huge sites its all about comic charchters and PS2 and funny pictures, just to get the traffic, then where is it sent?

Stile has no warning or disclaimer, yet I have seen thousands of links point to that site from "live journal" blog pages and for instance, a "Final Fantasy Newsgroup"...

Kinda like rotten.com I mean how many of those 250 gigs a day are high school kids going "dude you seen rotten.com yet?"

I have no clue about the numbers stile makes, but I know on rotten they claim 250 gigs a day worth of downlaods, i think 15 million hits? And I know for a fact and can pioint to links of definite stolen content from my ex employer on their sites...

Pages with no disclaimer that are such traffic giants, are very interesting to me, but theres now way to find out exactly what their traffic is or where it comes from.

I keep a "live journal" and have been amazed at how easily these kids of today link porn and pics, and they are totally unsupervised, of course its the parents control,but thats just the point... where does the traffic come from?

Ive came across too many HUGE sites like digital5k and Stile to see that these numbers seems to be generated in great numbers by mainstream college affiliates or underworld designers, who knows? Still great sites!

More power too em, but id be interested in what the numbers are as well.

Found it...


Q. How much traffic does Rotten.com get?
A. We get about 15 million hits a day, this totals 250GB of downloads during that period. About 250,000 unique individuals will visit the site during the course of a day. It's quite insane. According to the PCDATA web rating figures, Rotten is more popular than the New York Times website.

nice huh?


:thumbsup

Stile must be reading this thread, because he banned me for posting it. Oh well, I guess money is not a casual conversation for stile, so I suppose he must be making some real cash because this thread annoyed him.

It is fucked because his advice is as follows:


"Now that you have time to kill, heed my advice and don't start a popular website. "

What he should have said is don't start a popular adult site because you might be my competitor.

Pal: You were banned because you're fucking annoying.

Firstly, how much money I make is nobodies business. Secondly, if I was loaded I'd hire a mexican to type for me, and would be on a beach somewhere surrounded by naked whores and snorting pure coke.

You people are far off in your estimates anyhow. The shitty thing about running multimedia heavy sites is that the majority of income goes to bandwidth.

120k a month on bandwidth? Haha, yeah maybe if I was doing multiple gigabits per second.

With regard to my post about your sites, you should take my inquiries as a compliment, they were meant as nothing more.

With regard to your attitude, all I can say is

Gofuckyourself

:Graucho

Stile sux!

I'm just fucking with you. I just find you going around to other boards asking questions about me annoying (especially when I get 10 e-mails about it). Much like a fly buzzing around your head.

E-mail me if you want to be unbanned from the SPF.

just remember, inquiring minds want to know what the fuck is going on in the internet world, but that does not mean people are fucking with you or trying to harm you, its just human nature to want to pry into topics which are none of our fucking business

no harm no foul

now that you mention rotten.com ...I wonder how they pay the bandwidth bills. They don't use sponsors.. or none that I have seen :)

The site must be hosted off the guy's DSL account.

Must be wicked fast!

They run sites like http://www.famous-nude.com which they make money from. Still, that's an insane amount of traffic for a non-mainstream site.

From what I can see rottens traffic is dispursed into porn sites man, scroll all the way down... its not sponsors because he runs his own site,... the mugshots.org is a AVS, along with the other AVS rotten runs im sure he/she/they do really well, listen, look, learn ;)

Of course people care what other sites make. Obviously people are into porn to make money. It would be foolish to not try and find out what others make. It's a good judge of where you are, and where you may be headed. It's good to know if it's worth the work or not.

Go ask them what they make,or any other webmaster who makes a substantial amount of money...they will tell you to fuck off...as will I :321GFY

Famous Nudes is a site in Spanish.. are the rotten ppl not in the US??

How much money you make threads are stupid anyway;

1; you have no idea what the overhead costs are of any business has, staff, hosting servers, image production, content leases, office studio costs and leases, advertising and promotion costs ,just to name a few
- some people spend $5,000 a month on content, some people spend in excess of $5,000 a day on custom shoots

2; you have no idea what the cc processing costs are for any given business, chargeback ratios, referral payouts, retained members

If the head honcho puts $120K on his tax return, it doesn' mean that's all he makes... he/she might be rolling back the vast majority of their income back into the company and reinvesting it... then on the flip side they might be bleeding the company dry and leaving the shareholders on the hook

...back to work
