I hope you take this post as a positive not a negative.

I am just off to walk the dog so if you reply I will not answer for a few hours.

Let me say congratulations on your sites as I see them promoted all over.

However are you not worried about the success and putting all your eggs in one basket.

You see, if someone posts content from a site, its a pain but it can also promote the site. For you will ALL your sites being single girl, if someone posts a set from each of your site, then your stuffed.

Also what if the models stop modelling.

You see they only need to get a new boyfriend who tells them not to model, or they get someone who recognises them and abuses them. Even if they are on contract, all they have to do is play up at the shoots, so the content sucks.

Also all your sites are branded with 'inbedwith....'. I wonder if others will also use that in there web names. Just as I in ipod is used all over. Even if you were to take legal actions, this would cost you chaps a lot of money.

So your success could be a big problem to you in many ways.

Anyway, I posted this to be helpful as I can see your success also being a problem.

Hi Allan,

Glad you're concerned enough to voice an opinion :)

Yeah we are constantly aware of the fragility of solo girl sites. We have just added 2 more to our roster, which will spread out the damage if one of them should quit. We have now pretty much called a halt on solo girl sites though, and we will be concentrating on developing multi-girl and niche sites for precisely the reasons you've outlined. If we find another "Faith" though I'm sure we'd give it some serious consideration.

However, the girls we work with are committed and they know we're serious about doing the best for them, so I have no real worries about losing them anytime soon. But anything can happen of course, and we are working with that in mind.

If someone wants to use our "brand" that's fine, we can't stop them. Imitation is a form of flattery is it not? I think there's already some other "inbedwith" sites, possibly dating back to before we started using that as a brand, but it doesn't bother us. If someone was making out that site was one of ours however, it would be a problem and we'd have to think about taking steps against them, as any sensible company would to protect it's image.

Missed a couple of points.

Yeah people do post content, but we have a network of spies who often inform us so we can take action. Not everyone knows where to look for free content though, so sure it might cost us a sale or 2, but in the scheme of things it's probably not a big deal. People who habitually steal content aren't generally potential customers anyway. Even the big music & movie companies can't stop all the pirates, and they are still earning. It's all part of having content that people want I guess.

Problems always come with success - you just have to deal with them in the best way you can.
