Payones & Videobox: What is the point of this? What? What is the point? There is no difference, so what is the damn point? I don't understand the benefit of cloning a site and adding nothing to it, someone please explain this. lol. http://www.payones.com http://www.videobox.com Also, it's not just this site, but ANY clone site, what is the point? | |

Good question, some clone sites have the same material but a different lay out. In their case the argument could be made that they are trying to appeal to varying tastes re. GUI but when it comes to the two you mention above I am stumped, same as you, because they're identical. | |

I believe that it's called licensing. The people that own Payones probably paid Videobox a fee to have a clone site and promote it themselves and earn money from doing so. Hopefully there haven't been members of Videobox that weren't paying attention and joined another site that is pretty clearly identical. Maybe Videobox needed the investment income at a certain point when the deal was made, though I can't say that I really know. | |

I think I first joined through realitykingsdvd or something before I heard of videobox. There are others out there. Videbox might not be the real site, just the most popular distributor or clone of the content. | |

Yeah it's a white labeling partnership with FreeOnes.com. Skinned by Videobox for FreeOnes users, but the exact same site. We don't list white label sites, so you won't find it at TBP or PU.

Thanks for your answers everyone, I had no idea what was going on with that, it just seemed so damn stupid, but I guess on the surface it seems stupid and probably really is, but I guess to those behind the scenes it's a smart move, thanks for helping me understand it.... a bit. The only thing I DON'T get is why have them be the EXACT same? It would be kinda nice if Freeones added those picsets they charge you points for on their site, I mean something ya know? | |

That might abrogate the agreement. If the site is a complete clone then the parties that control the clones (Payones/Videobox) are on even ground as far as content and they do their own marketing - maybe they even have agreements as to "turf" - who can advertise where. If Payones added additional content, then they would no longer be on even ground and why would Videobox be happy about that? It would be a major problem and turn a win/win situation into a conflict. | |
