Platinum Bucks Purchases Mark’s Bookmarks

Platinum Bucks is proud to announce its recent acquisition of both MarksBookmarks and Bookmark.com.
With daily hits exceeding 2.5 million and a No. 5 ranking on SexTracker, MarksBookmarks is one of the leading thumbnail gallery posts and a fantastic addition to the ever-expanding Platinum Bucks portfolio, said Platinum Dave, chief executive officer and founder of Platinum Bucks. Furthermore, he added, Bookmark.com undoubtedly will prove itself as a high-profile domain yielding an immense amount of opportunities.
"We purchased MarksBookmarks because traffic is becoming harder and harder to acquire because the competition has become very fierce," said Platinum Dave, who will be working with strategic partners Chris, aka Xapster, and Cameron. "Purchasing a TGP has become the natural solution to that problem. Evaluations in adult are ridiculously cheaper compared to evaluations in any other industry in this entire world. When you can pick up companies in adult for three years' profit, it makes it too good to be true and, therefore, too good to pass up. These are staple companies, and MarksBookmarks is the second oldest TGP behind TheHun."
Platinum Bucks also purchased Bookmark.com in a separate acquisition because, as Platinum Dave explained, "MarksBookmarks will be phased out and the new domain for it will be moved to Bookmark." In order to allow for an easy transition, during the next six months content from MarksBookmarks slowly will transfer over to Bookmark. The site will see some changes, as well, slowly becoming more of a portal, with more interactive features, such as reviews and chat boards.
This obviously will affect Platinum Bucks in a positive way, as the company already has increased the amount of galleries the site lists, which in turn garners more traffic. A video player has been added for AdultRental, a vide-on-demand service, which has 30 categories that feature 50 free clips. The clips are updated once a month.
This marks Platinum Bucks' third purchase within the past 18 months, which seems to indicate a promising future. With evaluation in the adult industry being as low as it is, Platinum Dave said he is "still in the market to buy more TGPs, even with risks."
Platinum Bucks offers payouts of up to $40 per sign-up or 80-percent revshare and a rewards program.
