Maybe we have a different definition? If you buy a 2 hour video from an adult bookstore, would that be a single "scene"? If "scene" has some specific online porn terminology that I'm not aware of, sorry. IMO 2 hours isn't a scene, it's a full length movie.
Our games/movies are broken down into 7 "scenes" (Rounds) for ease of download. I wondered if the previous poster thought it was $3.95/round. That's what I'd hoped to clear up.
This is not much different than ordering a DVD from an online store. Except you download it. I don't think DareRing is unsusual in that regard. I see plenty of pay per view sites out there. If surfers can figure it out, webmasters ought to.
As I mentioned already, we tried a simple flat rate. We tried all kinds of stuff. But the site makes more money this way.
Surfers feel like they're getting full value for a specific purchase instead of a limited trial. So they are more likely to sign up. And obviously a $3 sale is easier than a $30 sale. All these little sales add up. Then you've got more customers, more people willing to give you their credit card number, and those sales beget more sales. There is method to the madness.
I've been tweaking this site for a while now, experimenting with the gracious help of some "guinea pig" affiliates who didn't mind beta testing it, and who turned out to be very happy with the money I'm now making them. So before anyone starts with the "OMG NOOB" kneejerk reactions to something different just consider the format with an open mind and try to see the plan with a fresh pair of eyes. "Think outside the box" and other such cliches. As the site grows, I'm sure Ill continue to make changes. That's why I'm still offering the 75% 'Beta' commission. I already anticipate that this format may be less than ideal once we've built up a larger library. But for now I feel like I've got a winning formula.
