RentMyCock.com - suggestions please!

LOL

There is a difference between "being inspired by" and flat out ripping off. You're ripping off his design.

You don't think SeanCody's popularity will come back and bite you in the butt? You say yourself that SeanCody.com is an extremely successful, well known, popular site. And so you think ripping off his design will in turn make your site successful. It's not that easy. Firstly, everyone and anyone who goes to your site will see how it's a rip off of SeanCody.com because their site is so popular. Everyone and their brother has seen SeanCody's site before, will credit SeanCody with the original design, and recognize you as having copied it. You won't generate popularity that way. You'll generate contempt, criticism, skepticism and ridicule. From surfers. Not just other webmasters.

But speaking of other webmasters, what respectable webmaster with a lot of traffic at their disposal to send to affiliates would want to promote a site that's so clearly a rip off of another and one step away from a lawsuit? I sure as hell am not going to sign up for an affiliate program that so blatantly steals another site's design and is, at the absolute best, borderline legit in appearance. If I want to promote a site that looks like SeanCody.com, I'll promote SeanCody.com. And I'm not the only webmaster who will reach that conclusion.

On another front, SeanCody.com became so popular because of content. Not site design. If you feel your content is worthy of making the site successful, then that is the foundation upon which you build your site. Your content. Not someone else's design. That you seem to think that practically copying someone else's design pixel for pixel will lead to similar success as theirs doesn't say much for your company's capabilities and understanding of the industry and the marketplace. If you're confident in your content, just about any design will make it work.

And finally, don't be a dickhead. It wins you no allies. You came in here asking for feedback.

Your site is a flat out rip off of another. And you're surprised by that being pointed out in the feedback?

You got hot guys on the site. If that's exclusive and original content, how about an exclusive and original design? If you can't handle that, then this isn't the business for you.

Greetings

Ok, you have GOT to be kidding me? You sir, have an awful lot to learn about the business world, and probably about life in general. Allow me to provide some brief illumination for you:

1. Threatening people physically, as I think it pretty obvious you did here, isn't a great way to impress upon others that you're a legitimate business person. In fact, you sound like a low-level Mafia thug.

2. Degrading homosexuals on a gay forum probably wasn't the best idea either.

3. This is one of the most frequented forums in the adult gay industry. There are many times more people that come here to read, than do to post. Why? Because they want to research various programs and companies before making a decision of who they may want to work with. What type of impression do you think you've made for yourself for those that come here to research your affiliate program?

4. You're telling some of the most successful people in this industry that the advice they are giving you is based on jealousy. Not to be too insulting, but you have absolutely nothing going for you that anyone on this forum should be jealous of.

5. This whole gangsta wannabe ghetto superstar personality that you're trying to create for yourself just really isn't working for you. :biker:

Thank you, and have a nice day!

:wacko:

I do aplogize to the board as well as anyone who may have took offense to our message...It is very frustrating when you put so much effort into your project to be called a thief. I do all my editing, shooting, model scouting, as well as put up the capital for the models... I am young and new to the business so I am learning. Understand that pridebucks, bigcashsociety, miamiboys, rentmycock, and a slew of others - are all in the same backyard (Miami). Many of us use the same advertising vehicles for models - So it is very competitive! I do apologize again for my blatant disrespect for the board... without you guys it will be a hell of a lot harder. Just give your fellow webmaster a little credit... I am ambitious, hardworking, competitive, but one thing I am not is a thief. I would never steal anything from anyone. I understand I asked for suggestions - but the blatant redicule aand harsh words well we werent prepared for that. Thanks for the support... hope things workout for everyone!

Thanks for the apology, its takes a big man to admit when he is wrong :)

Hopefully some of the feedback will allow you to take another look at your site to build on a new original concept which will work even better for you than the current layout.

Lee

Sorry about being so blunt in my comments (that's just the way I am and yes, it does get me in trouble from time to time). You are correct, there are a lot of sites produced in Miami and since ours has been online for the past 6 years our track record is proven. I do all of the design, marketing, and photography as well so if you would like some suggestions or direction from an established, successful site owner I would be happy to offer my help to a fellow Miami webmaster.

No hard feelings...

the design on that page is identical, and that's not legal. it's theft of intellectual property plus copyright violation. if you don't want to be thought a thief, you need to get another design up.

i see designers on this thread who get paid to make converting websites, plus some successful webmasters as well as myself who gets paid to do site assessments and changes.

why not pay a reputable designer to do it over for you? some work very fast, and are very original.

Yeah and from your 5 posts thus far you also seem arrogant, a bully, lacking basic business skills, self righteous, delusional - the list goes on. This isn't the Miami ghetto. People don't respect you here for being aggressive and threatening.

I haven't done business with you or MiamiB but your attitude leaves a lot to be desired. We all have to show constraint here and I'm glad you've learned that.

If you are so knowledgeable in the industry are you going to contribute to this board or just leach it for information like you, or your designer, leached Sean Cody's site for his design?

I think you said it best - "You should think about what your going to say before you open your silly mouth." :high:

Oh and welcome to GWW :thumbsup:
