Hi everybody :)
 

Greetings from Norway everyone.
Thought i should introduce myself.
Am a Norwegian guy, just fresh as an adult webmaster with http://homeclips.info The keyword is homegrown, cams and other sleazy amateur stuff. I love it |bananna|
If anyone bothers it would be great with some feedback on the site. I have a small linkdump also so just hit me with some juicy stuff.

Cheers

Hi there, welcome to GG&J :)

Only thing I would say about the site is the texts to small and the colours dont help for a blindy like me. But my eye sight isnt great anyway.

Also, your clicksy.org domain is wide open - you may want to look into that more!

Thnx for the feedback SecretEden. I'll look into the font/colors and see if I can come up with something better.

Nothing much exciting at clicksy.org. Just some demo stuff, deleted it now. I run a domain investment company, clicksy.org will be our new hq site, comming in a few weeks. Fonzie might know me from another forum ;)

So you invested in a .info version of the well-known homeclips.com? Why don't you just go ahead and grab VoyeurWeb.info and RedClouds.info too?

Because home clips is a term, the others are not.

Let's not forget the keyword "homegrown" - It's not like the biggest amateur video company in the world isn't already using it |banghead|

He could be looking for weed smoking people interested in adult videos :)

zaxxon, you are new to adult. Does that mean you did mainstream sites before this? Or are you just new to the online business?

Hi Jim,
Yes brand new to the adult area. A total noob! It's a project I'v started to learn how things work.
I'm not among the biggest portfolio owners. We are just passing 2mill. direct navigation visitors/month these days. Just recently I started to take an interest in adult traffic and aquire some adult names. Some sites are frisex.no (=freesex) kyss.no (=kiss) kinkylittlegirl.com teeninlingerie.com nudeyoungasian.com among others. The last two doesn't have that much type-in traffic. Most of them are parked until developed.

It sounds like you are headed for trouble zaxxon

No kidding...definitely not starting out on the right foot...that's for sure |crazy|

Jesus, what have I done? Have I said a single word to offend anyone?

I think the argument is about that your domain name is a .info 'version' of an already existing and prominent .com.

Kind of like registering www.coke.eu and starting a site about your new type of cola? Though I may be missing the point here, as Im new as well and I dont understand every argument myself :D

HEllo and welcome to Greenguy and Jim...enjoy your stay :)

You don't even read just spam |banghead|

Geez, I'm offline for the day and we get two of these kinds of threads going |club|

Zaxxon, in addition to what SecretEden stated about targetting already known domain keyterms (which is attempting to steal their traffic), you're also targetting very borderline ch1ld keyterms. These are 2 of the worst things you can do in this business and will get you off on the wrong foot in a BIG way. You'd be very well advised to re-think your domain purchases and start over.

Now that's a more constructive answer.
First, I have been in this business (not adult but internet/domaining) for over 10 years and I know what goes in terms of domain name issues. I have invested huge sums of money in others development/site projects knowing that other smaller/private entities have the same or a similar .net, .com or whatever. There are simply no way around this issue when talking generics. There is now way Vouyer Networks LLC can or ever will have the right to "Home Clips" If they wanted something unique they should have picked some other name. The net is filled with generics or generic terms owned and operated by different companies. Or other examples, just look at one of the sponsors on this board. colo-cation.com Lol, that's a nice one! I can digg up thousands of examples. Bottom line, if you want someting unique and for your self, don't pick a term you never can tm. As for the "keyword" homegrown. I wasn't aware there is a vid company called homegrownvidoes.com Just used the word to indicate what kind of stuff I like, nothing else.

Second, I admitt that for some or certain cultures or countries, certain phrases/terms can be persived as in an "grey area" Keep in mind that first and foremost it's the content that matters. If i fill the site nudeyoungasian.com with 18+ asians then what is the problem? They'r nude, young and asians. I don't care what useless US laws or regulation says. Understand that "young" doesn't necessary mean the same in all cultures. Certain countries have a 16y or 17y legal age limit. As far as kinkylittlegirl.com goes I have a special plan for that one. I'm gonna fill it up with midget sex. So if any pervo-pedo surfs on by he can get off to an adult instead. On the other hand, if I get rid of these two domains it wouldn't hurt me a bit becuse thay are not big traffic domains. But I know for a fact that if I did'n hold the "kinky" one a group of people you deffenitly don't wan't anything to do with would use it for all that it's worth. I have had inquiries! Lol. So, no. I'm not gonna start over. Why would I? I have frisex.no which is million dollar domain. Whould you re-think freesex.com and start over? Didn't think so!

zaxxon,
One thing you should consider is your market. Do you know geographically where your traffic is going to be coming from? My guess it's going to be North America. Are you crossing any lines there? Even coming close to a grey area? I'll say you are.
There are some written rules and some unwritten one's. You have been given some good feedback here. Listen to these people. They have been around for quite some time and know wtf they are doing.
This is one industry that is very hard to go it alone in. You really don't want to get on the wrong side of people that can help you. You will go nowhere using keywords or content that raises red flags. Take the time to learn the industry before you waste your time, money and make enemies.

It's one thing to be clueless, people understand that, but it's quite another thing to be reckless and confrontational. You are free to do as you chose. One thing most people don't realize on the adult side of this business is that your reputation is everything. This really is a very small community at the top.

I know where my traffic is comming from, and yes, it's over 60% north american. I have no intention to cross any lines. You can't run a business that way. I might agree with you that kinkylittlegirl.com is in the gray zone. That's why we have discussed it here internally simply to just transfer the whole domain, free of charge of course, over to a charitable organization helping children in need. They can use it as a trap or a warning site or what ever. We havn't concluded yet.
But in the end it's the content that matters.

I didn't have and still don't have any intention to be confrontational, but I hope you understand that when you get this |banghead| and this |crazy| thrown at your face, without any further explanation, when your just trying to be friendly and say hello it gets my juices flowing a tad. I come from another part of this industry which clearly is another world than some of you are in. And english is not my first language so there might be subtle things in a sentence I don't quite get, sorry. But hey, I'm still a happy guy :) and I can handle a bit of flaming over my domaing priorities. Keep on to your generics folks ;) I'll be happy to discuss domaining any time.

Cheers :)

Ignorance is not an excuse.

Now that you are informed, make some changes & then come back.

Na, don't think so. You'r some piece of work.

Keep it up guys. Bye bye |shocking|

I can't help but laugh at that one. I just have this vision, government peoples or a watch dog group rolling on to that site thinking they hit the motherload only to find midgets getting it on.
