Good News for vaxis and all those people who keeps bidding on porn domains at snapnames in the past 2 days.

Would be interesting to know the reasons behind the initial decision...and what changed to cause the reversal.

BTW, welcome Bonkers.

**AlienGG** · 05-26-2007, 01:51 AM

*Monetize*...

Hi

I'm not into adult, but I'm glad to see it's possible to change a giant's mind, and achieve something for the common good.

I think Google realized how much revenue they were going to lose. Porn is definitely not going anywhere, it is here to stay! Btw welcome Bonkerstwo!

**snicksnack** · 05-26-2007, 06:20 AM

google didn't want to loose all the buisness to yahoo.

**petrosc** · 05-26-2007, 07:17 AM

that is too bad. I would be happy if yahoo was alone in this business

**snicksnack** · 05-26-2007, 07:25 AM

why?

**petrosc** · 05-26-2007, 08:10 AM

because from my experience parking with yahoo feed pays more than google, and if google is out of the way in this niche then obviously yahoo gets more advertisers which will drive the bids up, increasing the revenue of our adult names.

**snicksnack** · 05-26-2007, 08:11 AM

were do you park your adult names? at parked.com? do you have samples of their templates?

Money.

And probably the shock of seeing how much of their profit pie was actually from porn. Cause you know, the internet is for porn.

Yes, the one and only (hopefully)

I'd be guessing here, but I reckon it was one of those "belief" issues. At least now they can say "well.... we tried it and we lost $X in revenue". I wonder if this means porn "is not evil?"

For those that don't know... the Google mantra has long been "dont do evil".
