Movie Vault Attends The Expendables Premiere
August 10, 2010 Posted by Tyler CruzLast night, Movie-Vault.com’s resident video reporter Claire Bueno caught up with Sylvester Stallone, Dolph Lundgren, and Jason Statham at The Expendables premiere.
This marks Movie Vault’s 4th video footage at a premiere. Next week, we will be interviewing Angelina Jolie (and possibly Brad Pitt) at the Salt premiere in the UK.

New Features and Improvements
I’ve been continuing to work on Movie-Vault.com ever since I launched the massive revamp of the site 9 months ago. I don’t want it to fall into disrepair or neglect like before and so am constantly adding new features, making improvements on existing areas of the site, and continuing to add great content to the site.
I recently had a number of changes made, improving some of the administrative and staff functions as well as adding and implementing a lot of social media into the site. I created a Facebook page and had Interberry add “Like” buttons on our news and reviews, added a “Get News by E-mail” feature, and even had Interberry convert our news to an RSS format so that I could set up a Feedburner account and offer RSS for our news.
Please feel free to join Movie-Vault.com’s various social media outlets, or at least “Like” our Facebook page:
My next plan for Movie-Vault.com is to start sending out regular newsletters to our members who did not opt-out of receiving them, which is 1,800 and growing. The newsletters will probably go out twice a month and will contain a summary of what’s new on the site as well as a small advertisement plugging a recently released movie or TV season on DVD/Blu-Ray from Amazon.
In addition, I plan to also start sending out mailings to the double opt-in “partners” newsletter, which is a small list at only 100, but is growing and the users specifically requested to receive movie-related offers, so the conversion rate should be fairly high.
I am also investing a lot into SEO for the site. So far the results have been relatively decent, but I saw a small setback during this past week, so we’ll have to wait and see how things progress over the next month.
The next major thing I would like to do for the site is to acquire the non-dashed domain name, but I’m having trouble finding any contact information for the current owners since it’s a private WHOIS registration and the company’s main website has been down for a few months as well…
So, what do you think about Movie-Vault.com? Do you have any ideas or suggestions on how I could improve the site or grow traffic to it?
The best thing about movie vault is the sense of community you get. You can discuss your favorite movies with other movie lovers and hear what films other people rank as the best ever. Movie reviews can cover anything from new releases to old classic films that have been out on DVD for ages. The forums provide you a place where you can basically chat about movies at any time of the day or night with people who care about film as much as you do.
Nice Site!
Hey Tyler!
What about buying movievault.com without the “-“?
I think you lose a lot of visitors that cant find you again!

Please read my post before commenting 🙂
Yes, obviously he is well aware of the issue with the dash in his name. He even mentioned trying to contact that domain owner in the post if you had read it.
I just did a check on domaintools.com in their whois history database. Here are the details before the whois data turned private: (16 apr 2009)
Administrative Contact, Technical Contact, Zone Contact:
Chris Armstrong

Thanks – I don’t have a DomainTools subscription so I couldn’t grab that information myself 🙂
Hi Tyler, what about your projects like pokerforums (you could add a magazine part and earn more commissions for poker-affiliate links) and starcraft2.net (you could add a content part)
i think there projects need your attention, too!
best wishes from hamburg, germany!
Why not send a letter to that P.O. Box that’s listed in the WHOIS. Then it’ll get to the guy sooner or later. Include a good offer in it–or at least an offer that is good in your opinion–and I’m sure he’ll snag. But, because you own movie-vault.com, he’s going to want more. When the .net, .org, and hyphen names get bought out, it means he can charge more.
Considering Tyler said the whois info is private, that will not work. On domaintools there is a link to buy existing domains:
http://whois.domaintools.com/movievault.com
Perhaps it is worth trying to acquire the domain through a service like that.
Just sent you a list of suggestions via your contact form.. Some quite serious, most aren’t. But I guess you can keep the programmers busy with some of those 🙂
Hope you like them!
Wow, be careful what you ask for, eh? Haha, thanks though – there are a lot of good suggestions there and I am going to get a lot of them implemented right now.
What is the traffic like nowadays?
Can’t wait until next week to see the Angelina Jolie interview…
Keep us updated!
Dropping in for a visit and some inspiration from someone near the top of the mountain…
I haven’t seen it. Thanks for updating, I love to see all the Hollywood flicks. Very soon gonna watch it. It looking a awesome movie, I just watched salt and get stunned with Angelina’s performance.
I certainly think it turned out better that the site’s sale didnt go through when you had on sale a while ago.
Do you still have plans on selling the site? or do you wana keep it for another few years or so?
I’m not going to sell it… at least not anytime soon, because it’s not making any money at the moment and still has a long way to go in terms of traffic growth, so I wouldn’t get very much for it.
I would never sell a site that you worked so hard for.Never sell your site Tyler.
I’d sell my left arm for the right price.
How much?
Never know when a severed limb might come in handy. Halloween is just around the corner.
I would have to think about it for a long time, but I might for 3-5 million, and more likely would for 6-10 million… but it’s hard because an arm is important!
I’d sell my baby toe for $100,000. I wouldn’t sell my pinky for $100K though.
Are you onto a new business venture Tyler? tylersbodypartauctions.com
It’s not making any money, why? You need to create a squeeze page or landing page and give away a free e book “how to be a movie star” capture emails, and send out offers. Money is in the list!
I’m trying to build a quality, authority site with Movie-Vault.com, not make a quick buck with it. My plan is to grow it into a large site and then monetization is easy from there… I’m already set up with $7.50-$15 eCPM’s as there are a number of entertainment-related ad agencies that will pay that…. I just need the traffic.
Great Stuff Tyler,
I just ran over to Movie-Vault.com, I must say.. I love it bro..I think it will my first stop for an movie review..Good Job
“TrafficColeman “Signing Off”
Thats really cool. I didnt know movie vault was so bigtime.
Use the wayback machine on the domain to look for contact details?
That’s unlikely to work for most sites. If anything they might have an outdated contact form or e-mail address. It’s not likely you will find a mailing address that way.
Good looking site. I’m sure you are going to get some great suggesstions. The Expendables movie looks pretty interesting too.
Truly an awesome movie. Looking forward to official theatre release here in our area.
It’s either going to be awesome or a spectacular failure – either way ill judge for myself soon. Got my tickets 🙂
Wow being able to be at a movie premiere and working it is awesome. How do the correspondents for Movie Vault get to be chosen to do that?
im pretty sure its some freelance person who does one series of interviews and then “brands” it for several different places, or something like that. its not a staffer they fly out there or anything. it doesnt really say anything about the sites size.
Great to see Movie vault at events like this Claire really did a great job of representing and did anyone else notice how Stallone still looks good for being 60+? Just sayin
-Jean
Nice video’s.I’m surprised they shot the vid in UK.
Very nice improvements Tyler. I see this site going up big time upcoming year if you keep getting these premiers and interviews etc.
The Expendables seems like an interesting movie. Thanks for the review.
Great website, and its good to see that you guys are getting to film at premieres. Expendables looks so good and its such an all star cast. Cant wait for the movie to come out.
The Expendables made 35 Million opening weekend!
I haven’t been able to find time to go and see Expendables yet. Hope to make it before my favorite show timing at the theater is gone.
What is your current income from this site? would love to see an update about that
lol, funny guys :p but really, an update about that, would be great, we all love to see that
Hehe, that might be quite a successful venture but with limited availability unless Tyler is willing to clone himself. 🙂
I haven’t been able to find time to go and see Expendables yet. ;))
Nice video’s.I’m surprised they shot the vid in UK. ;))

Can’t wait until next week to see the Angelina Jolie interview :/
We do accept all of the strategies you’ve got launched on your post. They may be really persuading and will surely get the job done. However, a articles are way too short first off. May possibly you please increase these somewhat coming from future time frame? Wanted submit.
