Sold to playboy

I wonder how much for? :crown:

I wonder if Hugh Hefner starts posting there now :eyebrows:

[JT]

I wonder how many joins you have to send a month to get flown over to the playboy mansion?

Fuck they are really going to have money and insentives for affiliates now

[-HF]

We are very enthusiastic ....
gives me the same creeps as the insincere 'how are you' everyone asks you but rarely is interested in really.

wonder if they will tame down their material in the long run.

Probably very enthusiastic about all the money hes going to have to spend :)

that's one way to decipher it, yes. :D

I think this is just the beginning of a lot of changes in the next 12 to 18 months in the US with regards adult online.

Certainly gives some major backing against new legislation

[dvtimes]

Interesting.

To me playboy have messed up on the net.

They have allowed other sites to become far better than them, even better looking girls.

I have seen recent photographs from there sites, and all they do is make me yawn. Playboy TV also sucks.

Playboy still live in some 1950's believe that pics of sexy girls will sell and hardcore is wrong.

For me, Playboy is just a brand name.

I agree with you.

But now they have one of the biggest affliate programs and certainly without any comparision the biggest platform to reach affiliates, GFY. Nothing compares to GFY (love it or hate it) and with the backing of playboy and the posible insentives etc. I imagine within a few months the'll have as many sites as say extreme paychecks, but with exclusive content and I imagine an amazing marketing campaign. Both to surfers and webmasters.

I wouldnt mind sending them all my traffic if thell fly me to the playboy mansion

Unless they start to go hardcore and bring out some exciting sites, I will not be interested.

Playboy have had all the chances they could ever want to be big on the net. They stick to the same format. Same with Playboy TV.

Your missing the point.

adult.com is an all hardcore affiliate program. The sites it has and the program its got is allready one of the best out there. Playboy now own that, they also own its affiliates and the biggest tool on the net for recruiting and promoting more affiliates.

I don't see it as backing but more as insurance. The last ten years have been the Wild West online and with everything that’s going on it’s pretty clear that it’s not going to be allowed to continue in its current form.

could'nt agree with you more, this partner ship should be good for PB - I looked at promoting them a while back and PB really sucked bad.

Some of the UK publishing houses who work in adult offline need to start taking the web more seriously.....

Its not just the UK but USA.

Most of the main magazines and DVD's firms do not seem to have done anything on-line.

I remember some time back they said Playboy had spent millions on the net, but made very little.

Its all very well jumping up and down in excitement. But its like when I worked at the ABC cinema in Leeds, the manager was told that they would build a brand new cinema behind the old one. I aid to him, when its built get excited. It never was built.

I have no confidence in Playboy doing anything on the net.

All that has happened is that one firm with lots of cash, has bought another. So what?

Get excited when something happens and not before.

Lets face it for years stuff gets said, people get excited, nothing happens.

Playboy was an excellent magazine in the 50's, but things have changed. Lets face it, even other magazines managed to do better than Playboy.

si vis pacem, para bellum. ;)

[fredicus]

Never did like Lensman's way of dealing with his affiliates, might have been good business for him but .... :badgrin:

PB have sucked arse for years, I can't see it changing soon :(

:giveafuck

[NumptyNuts]

well maybe these guys plan to walk away after doing a full hand over to PB and cashing in on their shares.

Either way PB needs a web prensence as do most publishing companies if they are to continue to dominante their markets going forward.

Perhaps they are going to put bunny ears on the big sausage pizza dude?

[SGS]

Perhaps they are going to launch a reality site with a dude in a silk bath robe?

[SGS]

Or perhaps there is a clever business reason??? All will become clear shortly....

How do you manage to tie your shoes in the morning? They have h=just bought one of the biggest hardcore sponsors and the biggest vehicle to recruit webmasters. Have you even heard of adult.com? I know youve heard of GFY because ive seen you constantly post news cuttings on there
