I'm tired for hearing the shit about about you need this and you need that and you can't do this and you can't do that...Let's get all you questions out now to the person who knows and the program that knows how to do it right... We even had two articles on us in USA Today Nov. 3rd.|bananna|

Hey my brutha, email me what you need and I will make sure you get it...Hank@mrskin.com
It is a niche that I've never touched and don't accept at my link list.
BUT, I'm always open to new things…
So how does the whole image rights thing work?
Seems like I would only be able to use sponsor provided stuff in order to promote it.
Tell us more…

I have had a celeb list since I first opened my doors, going on 7 years ago....
I got 3 words for you Hank....FREE HOSTED GALLERIES!
(Or "Send me content", if the first 3 words are a no go.)
The only problem I ever had linking to Celeb galleries was a letter from Allyssa Miliano's lawyer about 4 years ago. It was laughable. I wish I would have kept it.

Cleo - go get an account at Flash Cash (http://www.greenguysboard.com/phpadsnew/adclick.php?bannerid=67&zoneid=0&source=&dest=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.flashcash.com%2F.sbean%3Fbean%3D1-0-3-19871-16-1-11http%3A%2F%2F) (they have legal Mr Skin content)
AND
Get an account right from Mr Skin Cash (http://www.greenguysboard.com/phpadsnew/adclick.php?bannerid=51&zoneid=0&source=&dest=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.mrskincash.com%2Findex.html%3Faff%3D438985)
(there's advantages to having an account with each actually - LOL)
Build a few sites for your links using the content (odds are some of the older stuff won't get listed too much these days at other link lists) - make them the "Mr Skin Celeb Site Of The Week" or something like that - seeing as your surfers have not seen any celeb stuff, you might make a few sales from it :D

Cleo, that's all I have done. I used all the MrSkin free content and the site does convert well. People like their celebs to be nude. LOL
More free content would be good obviously Hank as this is not a niche you can buy content in.

Cleo Babe... Whatssup|smooch|
It's easy what we do fall under fairuse of the copyright law. We are just like Roger Ebert, we report the news as it relates to nudity in regular movies...All the pics and clips we use come directly fron the movies so the celebs have no say since the already sold the pics to the studio.
Since, we are on 500 radio stations, BBC, US Today, Wall Street Journel, Howard Stern on a regular basis and many others, we are legit news. No other Celeb site can say this and the movie companies like us cause we sell the videos on our site...They even send us the videos to review be fore they are released which further legitimize what we do.
We also never present the star in a bad light or do paparazzi stuff, or stolen stuff(like the Paris Hilton thing) which get's eveybody in trouble...We are here for the long term and it has been very successful for us.
We have been out here 4 yrs now with never a problem andf all the parties at be know about us... We do it right|bananna|

DrBizzaro, if you need a copy, I still have a copy of the one she sent us 3yrs ago along with a copy of the letter our lawyers sent back to them...BTW we have not heard from them since and they very well know who we are|bananna|

Mr Skin, thanks for the explanation about how your site works... I've never actually known LOL
My next question is... would you ever consider expanding into the male celebrity niche? I think a lot of female surfers would dig that kind of informational site... and gays too, I guess.
Cleo makes a mental note to join MrSkin. :)
Hosted galleries would really rock.
Hosted free sites would also really rock.

I have stayed away from the celeb niche because there is no simple way to tell legal from illegal. I think the huge volume of celeb spam from Babylon-x in the day pretty much sealed the deal.
I cannot list the content on my link site because the majority of the sites I have seen don't appear to be legal, feature compsite nudes (celeb head, other person nude boy), or are hosted in very weird places and promote sponsors I wouldn't send my worst enemy to.
I would consider building sponsor content stuff from you Hank, because I am confident in the way you are doing business with the movie people. That is the most important by far! :-)

Yeah I would never open up a Celeb niche to submitters. As Surfn said I have listed some stuff from people that I know, but that is it. What Alex said.
I have thought about trying Celeb niche but Im unsure about content as I mostly do galleries I tend to use alot.Can you supply enough content to keep a full time gallery maker happy?

I have promoted celebs with Mr Skin via Flash Cash, using their free content and have done very nicely... hard to get it listed on a lot of link lists... but SE's love the sites.
Link Fab lists celebs... and once again... that cat has always done well for me.

Actually,
We have thought about it for sometime, but thought people might think we were gay|jester|
It's in the works after some other niche celeb sites we are working on i.e. asian celebs, international celebs, celeb babes with big boobs, B movie babes, Horror Movie Babes and others like that|bananna|

Thanks for the vote of confidence Raw Alex, my man|lightsabe
Most will not do it right cause it takes alot of time, money and staff...It is very expensive to do.
How many people today would have a staff of 25 people, 40 contract writers and a legal team review everything you do for one site?

Bake, take a look at our site, nobody has more celeb content and we add new content daily|shake|
Verbal, whatssup dude...Next year you will have to learn how to hang|bananna|
Thank you Hank for clearing up the blanket statement, "if you don't have paper, it's not legal". At times, that just is not true.
Just so everyone knows...Hank is working on getting us some free content. As you can imagine, he can't just give us pictures and be done with it. Each picture will have to have a short review on the bottom of it to make it legal for all of us to use safely.
And looking at Greenie's example...If MrSkin offers Allissa Milano content, you know they are legal :)
MrSkin has always been a top notch organization and I have heard the entire story of how they started the site to make sure they stayed legal. They did do their homework. And, they really have no competition...it takes way too many people to go through movies and grab all the content.
I especially like that they recently switched from Ibill :)

I was gonna read through first and see if anyone had asked my question but then I saw this and had to quote it and say
I SECOND THAT!!!
And I've always been told that celeb is a niche to avoid like the plague, because the content is unlicensed.
Hank you said the pics you use are from movies - how do you guys get the license to use the screencaps from the movies?
I'd honestly love to do celeb but there's a big fear of getting sued there. :)
Linkster
2003-11-15, 10:20 AM
Another vote of confidence for Hank :)
I've been pushing Mr Skin for a few years both through Flashcash and the MrSkin program and done well in my eyes :) I've also listed Kezza's submits as well as a few others (kind of a help each other out between LL owners thingy) and of course any free sites I've made. I've recently been moving some sites into the SEs to get more traffic and it's paying off
Hank also provides some nice babe of the day and search box type stuff that works nicely
Now about that content Hank :) some more Anna Nicole and Pam stuff would be good |jester|

Re: male celeb site
I'm glad it's on the horizon, although having just read about how many people you employ, I can see that setting it up would be a major job.
One small request... well, it's not that smally really, but anyway - if you do ever make a male celeb site, can you keep it "sexuality neutral" i.e. don't market it as a gay site, keep the language on it open.
I'm making this request because if you made it gay, you'd be missing out on female surfers who I KNOW would love the site, and as the Nielsen survey revealed last week, 33% of women are deliberately surfing porn :) *
*I wish there was a smiley I could put here which depicts me fervently waving my 4women flag while others roll their eyes and think "Oh, God, she's at it AGAIN" LOL

As i was channel surfing last night between Braveheart and Law & Order CI, i surfed past E-TV and there was Allyssa.. Love Chain.. and they did talk about her "nude" pics on the net, how someone took her head and placed it on another body.. oh PLEASE.. after those Candies commercials, who'd believe THAT??? and how she settled for 233K out of court. Guess she needed a brazillian Wax and a vacation. LMAO..
I'm making this request because if you made it gay, you'd be missing out on female surfers who I KNOW would love the site, and as the Nielsen survey revealed last week, 33% of women are deliberately surfing porn *
the KEY word here is "SURFING" not buying.. put up naked pics of Johnny Depp but use "hooked on phonics" ,"sweating to the oldies" or 20% off at Aveda as your sponsor.. now THAT we'd buy.

Don't need a license, pls read the Fair Use section of the Copyright law. We are like Roger Ebert, we report new and comment on it. As such we can take s section of the movie for news without having to license the material.

Jim. Vicki is 1st on our list|rasta|
Babymaker, no we don't have Jessica pics and if you are using those to our/flashcash program, it is a violation of both programs terms and conditions and those links better come down pronto. Not only is that false advertising, but promotion of unauthorized pics which we never do. We also never do paparazzi stuff either which can cause a hail of trouble. That is the kind of shit that got so many celeb sites in trouble and we want no part of that...You Have 24HRS to fix those links or get the fuck out of our program!!!

In the last toolkit, we mentioned that traffic looking for Paris Hilton would be good for trying to sell Mr. Skin. This does not mean you should mislead your surfers. Mr. Skin DOES NOT have the Paris tape. We meant that Mr. Skin would be a great consolation prize for a frustrated surfer, i.e.: "Can't find Paris? Check out TONS of other celebs naked!"
just wanted you to see that hank lol i hadn't seen the toolkit but just in case you did'nt know this i thought you might want to know since you were so mad at me too. your own partners suggested it lol. i would have a talk with them in case you didnt know.

I wanted to get your thoughts one Flashcash's newest newsletter where they say "A Webmaster who keeps his eyes on the headlines is prepared for traffic spikes related to current events. When tons of people were searching for “Paris Hilton Sex Tape” some webmasters made lots of money selling Mr. Skin memberships to celeb hungry surfers. Think about it."

ohh and i jumped yesterday and bought
www.michael-jackson-trial-info.com hehe|rasta|
i thought i was being real quick and the fastest but not in this biz lol tons of the names were already taken. i am not going to put a porn site tho well sort of going to make a news compilations site with mainstream banners and polls message board on index with 2 big text links at bottom 1 to get more news/? and 1 to free porn links if over 18 going to a really strong warning page then a phony LL on a different domain. thnk ths would be ok or pushing the edge??

thats what i said hank i posted on my regular board with a poll about starting a PAC and really taking control of the election and our future this is a 4 to 40 billion dollar a year industry in the us alone depending on which figures u see. but even at 4 billion we should be able as an industry to cum up with 200 million or so and be as big as the tabacco or achohol or gun lobbys they dont leave anything to chance they put in the right senators etc to continue doing business. unfortunetly only me and two others responded to the poll so i assumed noone else cared. but in the poll i had asked wheather people would be willing to make a voluntary donation, or should we implement a voluntary tax on sales, or etc just different options as to how to raise the money and also i had an option of fuck it i'll keep all my money don't care what happens, nice thing is the 3 of us who did bother to respond all are willing to donate to protect our future. for someone like me a relative newbie who couldn't donate a worthwhile amount up front i would be willing to have say $3 or so per sale donated. it wouldnt affect me to much and would protect all of our futures. i was very excited to see the industry get together and fight acacia so i don't know why i don't hear of anything about next years election. |angry| we don't have much time!

Hank,
I don't suppose you have any idea what's going on with the CNDb? I know you don't personally run it, but I believe you host it and it's been up and down and up down for several days now. Often you have to hit reload 5-10 times before a page will display. I was just wondering if you knew what was happening and are planning to make any fixes. As you well know it's a great source for everyone in the celebrity community and it pains me to see it suffer |sad|

MikeC:
CNDb is in the process of being moved to new servers and to a new data center. As with any move there are some bugs to be worked out|angry|
It will be back up with smooth operations very soon. We are in the process of acquiring it so you will be seeing many changes in the near future to make it much better|bananna| |roses|

Sounds great Hank. I'm glad to see your going to do some improvements on it. I know the users over there have been clamoring for it and making quite a mess in the process :D I look forward to seeing the reworked site.
