We Make Websites That Work

At GC Media, we bring a fresh perspective to the table. With first-hand experience building, growing, and selling a successful online business, we use our expertise to help our clients succeed. We're not your average agency - we believe that personal experience is essential to help others achieve their goals.

 

Our hands-on experience gives us a deep understanding of the challenges and opportunities involved in creating and growing a thriving online business. We built an online magazine that skyrocketed to a top 1,000 ranked website and sold for a seven-figure sum - all without spending any money on advertising.

 

We also understand what it's like  when starting out. We've been in your shoes and know what it takes to overcome obstacles and achieve success. That's why we're uniquely qualified to help you succeed too. If you are looking for a Southern Oregon web solution, click here to contact us.

The Lovingyou.com Story

In 1996, Lovingyou.com was founded in a small apartment with a mission to both showcase the capabilities of our new web design company, and provide a resource for couples in online relationships.

Determined to succeed without the help of advertising, we developed the skills and strategies necessary to become a top 1,000 website, reaching the top 500 in peak months.  After 12 successful years, the brand was acquired by a Fortune 500 company and integrated into SheKnows.com.

During its time as a standalone website, Lovingyou.com achieved impressive milestones, including

  • Ranking in the top 10 on Google for the keyword "love"
  • Building multiple revenue streams (see below)
  • Building multiple newsletter lists with a total of 15 million subscribers.
  • Became a go-to destination for 18-24 year old females.

Though Lovingyou.com is no longer be online, the knowledge and experience gained during its run continue to serve as a valuable resource.

Dominating The Search Engines

Our secret weapon in building a successful brand was our laser focus on search engine domination. By crafting custom content and using advanced SEO tactics, we blew past the competition for our targeted keywords. The results speak for themselves, but don't just take our word for it - even major publications took notice of our strategy's effectiveness.

Making Real Money Online

Making money is an essential aspect of running a business, and as the internet landscape evolved, we had to continuously find new ways to generate revenue. One way we did this was through an online store that featured products geared towards our target demographic, such as lingerie and romantic gifts. By partnering with around 30 vendors, we were able to negotiate annual fees ranging from $2,500 to $10,000. During peak holiday seasons, we saw monthly sales of around $250,000.

In addition to the online store, we also utilized advertising to generate income. We displayed two ads on every page of our website, which received an average of 10 page views per visit. This amounted to approximately 60 million ads served per month. We also had sponsorships for specific channels on our website, with the dating channel alone generating close to $20,000 per month at its peak.

Finally, we also sold ebooks tailored to specific holidays. During these holiday periods, we were able to sell around 1,000 ebooks per day at $5 each.

Overall, our various revenue streams allowed us to be successful in the constantly changing world of the internet.

"Bob's company www.lovingyou.com delivered a tremendous ROI on our advertising. The website is very sticky and visits have produced results. We also have multiple items in the shops, which performed brilliantly during gift giving seasons. We liked the yearly approach to participation, which leads to a greater awareness and easier set-up during peak seasons. I highly recommend adding Loving You.com to your advertising plans."

Andrew PerryAndrew PerryCEO

"Bob's attention to detail and dedication to his work are also noteworthy. He consistently goes above and beyond to ensure that the final product meets and exceeds expectations. It's no surprise that Bob has had such success with LovingYou.com. He is a true asset to any team and I highly recommend him for any internet project."
