PestControl.TV Update
 
launched last week in a limited release. Made mid $XXX the first week. Should be able to 5X-10X with ease once the site is fully launched

And to answer the question, how can a site make money without a front page. Well one thing I learned the hard way is that the front page is the most insignificant page on MOST web sites. In the old days, large companies would give you $8 million in investment money and then take back $6 million (recognize it as revenue) and give you a link on the front page of their site. Back in the day, we had a link on many well known sites.

I won't name sites, but I had a VP of BizDev who would run into my office and say "George we are going on the front page of XXXXX.COM. We are going to be billionares". Two days after launch, my standard response would be "Where's the traffic?". Years later, aftering buying links on other areas of the same sites, I found the traffic.

After we were the established brand, I had people begging me to buy a link on our home page. I told them we got very little traffic on our front page. They jumped at the $XX,XXX/yr price.

Words of Wisdom, "don't fall into the front page trap". The front page is the prom queen page. It looks good, but makes very little money and if you are smart you send most of your traffic directly to the "money" pages because you don't want to lose 50% of your traffic on each link they have to click between the front page and the "money" page.

So are you collecting leads with the site? Can't access past first page.

help us out local experts. what are we supposed to look at?! All we are seeing a password protected page...

We are building up the videos and will release the home page when ready. Areas of the site are accessible for links I've deployed on the net

So far, Pest Control businesses are very receptive to PestControl.tv.

My logic, if I can make PestControl.tv, then I can make almost any category work for the extension.

Lots of debate last year on whether or not the purchase of PestControl.tv was wise. Considering I will recover the purchase price in less than 2 months, I think it was a good buy.

Hi George,

Sounds awesome. Thanks for your purchase of my city names (myrtlebeach etc) a few weeks back. Tell me, how can I do the same with flowers.tv (developing) and others I have? I'd like to build some of these up instead of letting them sit via ppc!

Kind Regards,

CCD

so far has revenue been primarily CPA or sponsorship based?

Hey Roy! And thank you for the cities!

Let me think about Flowers.tv and I will email you. I have FloralDesigns.tv for our wedding business so I have some ideas. We have also have existing relationships with Floral Designers across the country.

Antonis: COA. We are going to take sponsorships once the front page is launched.

Making good money low to mid $X,XXX a month. New partner coming on board in August. Once we launch the front page, this one should go to low $XX,XXXX/mo
