Your Own (sexy) Web Site

[fabuloz]

I expect a number of people here would be interested in having their own website. For these, the following provides some initial information:

The cost of website hosting (particularly in the US) is now very cheap. Hosting for even a substantial site will often cost less than $100 per year. By the time you get the traffic so high that the host would have to charge you more, a couple of adverts on such a high traffic site would not only pay off the hosting but give you thousands of dollars extra for yourself.

Software for good Content Management Systems (CMS), galleries and forums are free and make it easy for non programmers to have sophisticated websites. The better ones are amazingly simple to set up.

A bigger problem is to get a good domain name. Although now cheap (approx $10 per year) to register almost all good single word names in the .com domain are taken, many by people like myself who deal in domain names.

I have a number of sexy Internet Domain Names that I hope to sell. While most of these I'm wanting to sell for thousands of dollars each, I have one that I am going to sell for almost nothing. The one that I'm willing to sell for almost nothing is

http://Cutits.com

I'm selling this one as a package with 2 years of web hosting plus domain registration for an extra year than it is currently registered (This will give almost 2 years of domain registration) plus help in getting up and running if wanted. It already has a website so the purchaser would be taking this over.

I'm selling the total of this package for only US $165.

The following shows a couple of ideas for advertising websites:

As part of the hosting you can have as many email addresses as you like and almost as much sub domains as you want. This allows you to give away email addresses to all your friend and clients. Many girls would love an email address such as Jill@cutits.com and Jenny@cutits.com etc. This helps with advertising your website.

Similarly you can have many subdomains which are effectively complete websites within your own hosting but they have a name that incorporates your website name. For example, if Amber decided to save money by shifting her website to one of Cutits subdomains her website could be set up with the address of http://Amber/Cutits.com. As each of these additional websites incorporate the main Cutits website name, it provides additional advertising for that site. With this, it actually makes sense to give away hosting completely free.

I had better explain why I'm giving away such a great sounding domain name at such a low price. To see this try typing into Google the words "titillating tits" (without the quotation marks). The first result from the search should be

http://titillatingtits.com

If not it should be very close. That's one of my websites. Have a look at it. Don't worry! Regardless of the name there is no porn. It doesn't even have any pictures of uncovered breasts. It is just a website with a lot of interesting (and hopefully amusing) information. While doing very little in the way of Search Engine Optimisation I've managed to make it come up as number one in searches on major search terms such as titillating tits. This has been achieved without the time consuming work of link building exercises which would allow it to come up near the top for a number of additional seach terms.

The current sole purpose of the website is to make it a known website to the search engines before it is sold and taken over for a true commercial purpose, possibly making someone millions of dollars.

Some of the sexy to feminine names that I have similar to this are http://Cudles.com, http://Boobski.com, http://Bozoms.com, http://Erotizine.com, http://RoxyFoxy.com,http://Fabuloz.com, http://Fazhions.com, Scandylous.com, http://Sexelicious.com, http://Zexey.com, http://Zexie.com,http://Titski.com, http://DeadSetGorgeous.com and http://FeministBabe.com

Most of these you will similarly find that if you type in appropriate keywords using the domain names they will come up first or nearly first in searches. A few new websites can take a while to get this effect.

Now you would think that a word such as Cutits would be similarly great for someone who wanted to brand something like a line of clothing etc with such a nice name. It implies both cute, or cuteness plus it implies those mammary symbols of femininity that so many of us are so interested in, well that's how I see it.

That's not how Google saw it. Google analyzed the word and decided that it was the combination of 'Cut' and 'its'. It then looked at the internet and found that on large numbers of high priority newspaper sites this combination was often found in headlines. For example, 'California is ordered to Cut Its prison population' or 'Congress votes to Cut Its own funding' etc'

These Newspaper sites such as Washington Post have such High priority to the search engines that there is little chance for ordinary websites competing. For this reason, it turns out that using the Cutits for a product brand doesn't work as well as I would have expected. I had to go through the complete process of creating a website to find this out.

Still, even if it won't be the next Yahoo or Amazon website, its a great name. If you are interested in any of this you will find my contact details on each of the websites.

Hope you find this useful, even if you aren't interested in any of my domain names.

Really? Your first post is an advertisement, yet you didn't find the advertising thread?

And no intro to who you are? Just a "Pimp Post"....maybe try reading some on forums before posting so you don't interrupt the forum flow....






If I'm outta line Amber, my apologies

 

[AngelAndrea]

The real issue here is WTF does that site say?

Cut its?

Cu Tits?

Cuti Ts?

None of that makes sense to me. Well the first one does, but that is the LEAST sexy domain name ever.

 

[fabuloz]

... yet you didn't find the advertising thread?
... [/size]

The only advertising topic I noticed was one related to models which didn't fit this. The topic I put it in was Random Discussion which seemed to fit it a lot better.

I went to some trouble putting lots of what I hoped would be useful information into a post within a forum where a number of non programmers seem to be creating a few websites. As an aside to that I then added some related advertising. Given that it wasn't just advertising, I would expect to get away with that.

Further, in most forums that I look at, I would be glad of people doing the same. Posts like that often have far more information than the general chit chat.

having a look around *looks around* this isn't a "normal" forum, and advertising is advertising....lest thats my feel of it. Well....at least you made a second post :?

I find it interesting how different people look at words and see different things. In creating single words out of duel words we often chop the words for example, I chopped both the words Erotic and Magazine to come up with Erotizine and hoped that other people will immediately see the original 'Erotic Magazine' when the see the word Erotizine.

Similarly I chopped the letter e off the word cute to come out with what I thought people would see as a short version of 'Cute Tits'. It is always surprising when you find that other people don't see the world they way you expect.

Perhaps I need to do surveys on each of the words I'm expecting to be used for Branding to see how other people view them.

Just as an aside, I once used the term 'pelvic floor muscle exercises' in the dialog of a film script. As I knew what these were, I expected most people to also understand it. After giving the script to several men, I found that they didn't know what I meant by these exercises. I eventually did a bit of a survey of most of the people I know to see how many people knew what they were. I found that most girls knew what the term was but other than people in the health industry, most males did not. When I asked a further question 'Would it make sense for someone to talk about men doing these exercises' I found that very few people, even the girls, were sure of the answer. Sometimes you just have to survey or get comments back from people like you to know how other people see these.

Well, yes, surveying your prospective audience to determine what does and does not work for them is generally a good idea. Of course, this post isn't a survey. It is an advertisement. Maybe you should have looked up actual words rather than chopping up words to buy up whatever names you can find and try to sell to other girls. You say you do this to be creative but it's simply the fact that cutetits.com is taken so you had to grab what you could and hope we'd like it enough to pay you for it.

I wasn't going to do any more than roll my eyes at your obvious advertisement attempt but the words "thought I would get away with it" kinda let the cat out of the bag that your original intent was to sell and the information was tacked on as a way to make the post look informative.

The thing is there are countless website threads on this forum where people actually DISCUSS them and the process. They don't assume no one knows about programming and throw out a bunch of info that most of us already know and then toss a plug in there.

I purchased my own domain name for twelve bucks and pay less than $100 a year to host it. What's great is that when people see it they don't have to try to figure out what it says, like a license plate game.

$165 is NOT almost nothing. Suggesting that most of the people here are not programmers is insulting.

I would highly suggest you attempt market research and surveys PRIOR to spamming forums.

 

[Nordling]

Plus you didn't just remove the "e." You also removed the other "t."

Humans are very good at pattern recognition, but sometimes there's a thin line representing what can and can not be removed in a contraction. I think you hit that line.

Similarly you can have many subdomains which are effectively complete websites within your own hosting but they have a name that incorporates your website name. For example, if Amber decided to save money by shifting her website to one of Cutits subdomains her website could be set up with the address of http://Amber/Cutits.com. As each of these additional websites incorporate the main Cutits website name, it provides additional advertising for that site. With this, it actually makes sense to give away hosting completely free.

For one, not sure how I would be saving money to go with someone else's subdomain. In my experience and opinion, having "ambercutie.com" gives a lot more credit to me than "ambercutie/stupiddomainname.com" and in turn makes me more successful, thus, making more money.

For two, your site name would only be great if I was selling scissors.

For three, yes you're being met with this sort of attitude because your first post is "spammalicious" to use someone else's term. I've always found it in bad taste to pounce on a new forum and start off with an advertisement. Forums are a community, not just a billboard for the newest member to spam their own business.

ACF members, if anyone receives a PM from this member, please report it or forward it to me.

That's exactly what I thought too! :lol:

I've been thinking; if you dismembered women (hell why just women?!) for sexual pleasure that would be a sexy site name!

While doing very little in the way of Search Engine Optimisation

I'd disagree regarding your titillatingtits - the repetition of the word tits, titillating, and the combination of the two thereof (in bold, headlines, normal font etc) coupled with the lack of the term returning any other real results (other than sites with a single reference to the word titillating tits) via Google, means easy to hit number 1. I'd say it is crammed with stuff precisely to make the content highly relevant to the domain url, the meta keywords and massively boost the keyword ranking with the likes of Google.

I did precisely that - hitting number 2 in Google for my name - and there are plenty of "Me" out there It isn't that hard as long as you aren't trying a very popular word, branded image or other.

Additionally, stick quotes around your "titillating tits" search and you have 6470 results, not half a million. The match of two keywords in a search term helps dramatically, as does the aforementioned keyword spam.

So Mr "Domains 4 Sale" (which is what it is registered too, along with 80-100 odd other domains I think?) - are you really here to help someone, or hoping to make money You've registered dozens and dozens of domains hoping to hit it big when someone buys it from you - and they must be costing nearly $1000 per year?

I'm not convinced of your purely innocent aims either - you are also creating back links to your own website Give it a week and Google some keywords, wonder how many sites will turn up where you've posted?

Any way, good luck with all that domain sitting - given the length of time they've been registered, and that you're now posting on forums, I'd assume that interest has been zero...

Eh... it didn't look a typical spam post to me. He's just doing his job. We know that people want to get paid for their job, why should we hold it against him? He took the time to find target customers and tried. Sure, we're used to this forum being a community and it'd be better if he had joined it first, but he's here for a reason. At least he didn't copy paste or anything like that from what I can tell (without searching at least. I'm not going to bother.)

Yeah, he's not a bot . . .


At least.

While doing very little in the way of Search Engine Optimisation

I'd disagree regarding your titillatingtits - the repetition of the word tits, titillating, and the combination of the two thereof (in bold, headlines, normal font etc) coupled with ...

Search Engine Optimization can be split into 2 parts. Optimization by the design of the website and Optimization external to the website. Optimization within the website, which is what you are referring to, can cost almost nothing if you know what you are doing as you write the content, or perhaps takes an extra hour to two later to optimize the wording etc. Given the low cost, if you know how to do it, it would stupid not to do it.

On the other hand, Search Engine Optimization external to the website is very costly. To do a major job of this you would employ a number of people to work full time in creating link building often with link swaps etc plus you would spend hundreds of thousands of dollars on internet advertisements. Historically, paying for advertisements on Blogger sites has been the cost effective way to increase ranking. It was the lack of this type of work that I meant when I said "doing very little in the way of Search Engine Optimisation"

In the case of http://titillatingtits.com the reference to half a million was without quotes. (Hey I managed to get a link in) . When I wrote the original post here, it was number 1. I do the search today and it is number 2 but it is also number 3 when I do a search on "tits titillating" (without the quotes)."

I have a very low number of domain names, under 100. There are a number of people who have tens or hundreds of thousands of domains. Without doing a lot of marketing I find someone contacts me about once or twice a year to buy a domain. It pays the registration plus a little more but doesn't make much profit.

I had an ulterior motive for buying domains. I created a website/business where people could purchase email addresses. The concept being that each domain name would only have a small number of email addresses so each Jill, john or jenny could get their name as their email address. For example, if they wanted to be associated with http://titillatingtits.com they could get the address Jill@titillatingtits.com or jenny@titillatingtits.com. I completed the website for this business which is at http://Zexie.com then got sidetracked and never promoted the business.

I'm hoping to find someone else who likes the idea and wouldn't mind running it as their home business with me just taking a cut and doing the technical design but I haven't even gotten around to looking for that person. Zoomer, you seem to be very knowledgeable about domains. Please, take a look at http://Zexie.com and tell me what you think.

Since I originally created the site, and then not advertised it I have sold and deregistered many of the original domain names but I still have a few intended just for email addresses that I don't advertise such as proudlygay.org or spunks.info

I'd be interested in your comments.

You missed some words Mr. CutandPastDomains.com

 

[Zoomer]

Honestly, I'm unsure if you're serious or not (apologies for the sceptic in me). The site says 2005, and given that I seriously suck at designing site layouts - when I say it looks like it was made in 1998, and is difficult to read, badly presented/structured and more (the images are tasteless given the page title is "professional...") - that's saying something.

As for the concept - I'm no business man, but, at a personal opinion I'd be amazed if the domain/email work. What you have are "novelty" domains at best (in my opinion). For the email you can get fantastic free emails from many well recognised businesses (Google, Microsoft's Hotmail, Yahoo, AOL) with great web interfaces - the only thing you offer is the name. Some names are misspelt (intention to get the domain), but people can get a web presence for free these days (blogs etc). Honestly, I'm amazed you break even, let alone make a small profit - so kudos I guess.

Bottom line, if that's serious, then the site needs a MASSIVE re-design. If it's not, then I'd question your strategy. Let go a lot of them and try for better domains...and change your strategy.

Here is my suggestion - although in all honesty it's about 5 years late - but there is still a market out there. Drop all those domain names - every single one. Most of them are extremely poor taste anyway, I'd never imagine anyone would buy them. If you wish to sit on domains for sales, then try being more sensible and buy with a strategy in mind. You've taken a "smut cannon" type approach, I'd target a "market" area approach (although, as said, I know nothing about business - I couldn't even spell the word right til I was 16...

So an example, and it's entirely un-registered:

simply-blogging.com

You offer a fresh wordpress install on their subdomain of choice (their name). It can be FREE (they have 1 Google ad on their pages), or $1 per month for no adverts. Charge for plugin installation for their blogs (for comments, or whatever they do for wordpress plugin's) and support too. You can start by handing out the first few blogs free to friends, and keeping one yourself... extra functions like tweet-to-blog (no-idea if this exists, maybe) and email-to-blog (I think this exists...I don't do blogs ). Obviously you'd have to make it both smart (the site's front end), and really brush up on everything related to it - gone are get rich days without investing some time!

Anyway, just my thoughts :thumbleft:
