He cheerfully introduced himself to the room prior to
Ferencz’s business card exchange at the end.
Yannick Ferreri, the head of production and
business development for PornDoe, conducted the
next workshop of the day—a primer on his “100
percent legal” tube site.
“When I say 100 percent legal, what I mean is not
one iota of content on our site comes by any means
other than it was given to us by the producer or we
licensed it,” Ferreri told the group assembled. “So it’s
a very expensive endeavor to do. … but times have
shifted again and now content value is going up.”
Ferreri, a seven-year industry veteran who was
an executive at Mindgeek for five years, started at
PornDoe about a month after it launched.
“In 17 months we’re globally 6,000 on Alexa,
which is substantial growth,” Ferreri noted. “We’re
up to 700,000 unique visitors per day. Our average
time spent on the site (by one user) is seven to nine
minutes depending.”
He said PornDoe has “really attacked” the European
countries, establishing a strong presence in Italy, Spain
and Germany—and a solid one in the U.S.
“We’re masters of localization,” Ferreri said. “We
tag content in five different languages.”
PornDoe works with paysite owners, content
producers and DVD distributors.
“We are pro-content partners,” Ferreri added. “We
can broaden your scope and help you broaden your
audience. Your content is 100 percent safe. We’re only
doing what you want us to do with your content.”
Day 2
Jan. 17 with separate panels examining the
The 15th edition of Internext blossomed on
future of billing, mobile, dating, live cams and
traffic.
A series of panelists occupied the stage at the
Monterey Room inside the Paradise Tower, which was
taken over by the original adult digital conference with
more networking opportunities and branding than
ever before.
Things got underway in the mid-morning as Karen

Campbell (OrbitalPay), Thierry Arrondo (Vendo
Services), Chris Rodger (Payze), Harmik Gharapetian
(Epoch), Wendy Nelson (Netbilling) and Matt Mund
(Mobius Payments) joined moderator “Actual Mike”
Ackerman (Actually Helping) in a session about the
latest trends in billing and payment services.
The discussion quickly turned to the issue of some
U.S. banks turning away adult-oriented companies.
“I think it’s important when you have an adult
company that you don’t have an adult company
name,” said Campbell, the vice president of
OrbitalPay, a division of Global Electronic Technology,
Inc. that has been in the processing industry since
1998.
Vendo Managing Director Arrondo, who was born
in France, told the audience, “don’t hide from your
bank. Some are adult friendly, some not. Adult is not
illegal.”
Gharapetian, the vice president of sales and
marketing for Epoch, reasoned that banking ultimately
comes down to “a relationship with the manager at
the end of the day,” because the buck stops with him.
