What should i do ?

[britishbulldog]

I have a website called "elitemodels.com" just a simple adsense site generating $500 a month mainly through typeins it receives 12000 uniques a month.

I want to concentrate all my pennies into redeveloping this site into more of cash machine like an members site where they can upload their own pictures ?or a model blog site ?

Any more ideas appreciated or any web developers who can build this into a cash machine as i think this domain has more to go as it was once formally owned by the biggest and oldest model management company in the world who own the domain "elitemodel.com" ovt score of 150,but reliquished "elitemodels.com" ovt score 189.

As you can see there is more potential with this domain and i need to exploite it the best way i can.

Any ideas or propositions ? Thanks !

I think you're on the right track with the idea you have.. Allow people to upload their pictures.. Target the Models and/or the aspiring models. I think you will get a good response

I'd keep it as an adsense/affiliate site and just move on to other projects. Nothing wrong with having $500 a month coming in on auto pilot. Add to it when you can, but put your energy into new projects.

Thats the problem,im torn between the two,do i earn $500 a month autopilot or spend time and money trying to generate more cash ?

I would probably go for the autopilot of $500 a month, and work on getting more sites on autopilot with the same revenue..

great domain, i would try to do some simple model directory for the photographers to find models , modes to find a jobs.etc like http://www.onemodelplace.com/index.cfm , so they could pay a memberchip

but i would still keep my adsense on there:

look jurgita.com

Great name. But the reason you are getting the 12,000 unique visits a month (400 unique a day) is because your name is confusingly similar to the world famous "Elite Modeling Agency" in New York City. It is not because 400 people got up this morning looking for models that are "ELITE" compared to the run-of-the-mill models they find in their neighborhood.

Now if you owned "Supermodels.com" that name is generic, defensible and there are lots of supermodels... It's an adjective used commonly to describe models that are at the top of their field. I mention supermodels because that name would likely get 400 unique a day but for entirely different reasons than "elitemodels.com".

That difference is what makes supermodels.com brandable and defensible and valuable and your name nice to have but ultimately worthless as a branding tool.

The minute you get even remotely successful with Elitemodels.com as a standalone website, is the minute the "Elite Modeling Agency" looks down at your "growing business" built on the foundation of confusion and reaches down to *****slap you into the middle of next week.

So IMO don't go out trying to "brand" something unbrandable, rather, make hay while the sun shines and don't showboat about it because that is a name built on precarious foundations.

Cant agree elite and models are generic and is not a registered tm here in the u.k not sure about the u.s but i agree with where the uniques are coming from !

Thanks for the advice !

Elite Models is very famous worldwide modelling agency.

[britishbulldog]

Yes but there is no tm infrigment here in the u.k or u.s as they are known as "elite model management" for company records,its just the press and public who have shortened their name to elitemodels which suits me as i get the type in trafffic !

Yep I was just going to say that they are A Big Time Agency along the lines of Ford Agency. They are based out of Manhattan.
