So I've had Rekt.co.uk parked doing nothing for a while and was thinking of ways to utilize it, Any suggestions?
Possible uses for Rekt.co.uk?
- Thread starter Vertiginous
- Start date
write a script to periodically scan 4chan for rekt threads, auto refresh each thread when it appears and get it to capture the gif, jpeg or webm with the most replies... or maybe the top three in each thread... add to your database of rekt imagery... check for duplicates... periodically post said gifs, jpegs and webms on your site
set up facebook page, selectively post to there, use page to post to any news story somehow vaguely linked to people getting 'rekt' in a lame attempt at getting people to like your page
monetize with the usual crappy advertising, affiliate links etc...

Nice idea just fill it with ads and get the money from that, just try and generate lots of traffic.
I think this might be something that I can do, Is there any legal issues though regarding monetizing content that I do not own in this sense?
Yeah I guess thats accurate, Ill give this a try and see what I can get with it.
well if you end up getting legal issues it is more likely to happen the more popular the site becomes so maybe a nice problem to have... if you can automate the process of posting then having some disclaimer on the site and a link whereby some copyright owners can flag any content for removal ought to be OK for most but IANAL...
Don't use Adsense in that case. If they catch you that's your account done.

Offer it to the person who's rekt the most scrubs online.
Video/picture upload site - users upload funny videos/pictures of people getting rekt which can then be voted on.
Top rated of the day, week and month could get some sort of prize, paid for out of ad money?
Could also lead to a "subscribe to be emailed the "rek of the day" (or week if day is too frequent) - that'd build a mailing list and then you could stick the odd affiliate link in the emails.

As above, aggregate "rekt" content to build traffic and build your brand on top to compete with competitors like http://www.getrektclothing.co.uk using your much more friendly URL.
they do get some bad PR thanks to the stuff they get associated with

then again reposting rekt videos/pictures - most youtube content is probably breaching various copyrights and most of the rekt videos are probably already hosted on there too
