This month has been a real positive one with the tradeshow and the growing success with my partners at sterlingcash.com and digitalangeldollars.com (plug plug!) so I haven?t had a ton of time to write. But I did come across something that I think every webmaster should be checking out. This falls strongly under the ?knowledge is power? category. The good folks at
www.thebestporn.com have a site for the viewers to do reviews on and they conduct these polls that are just about the most telling thing I have seen in a long time.
Have a look at
http://www.pornusers.com/browse_polls.html. They have asked great questions here like ?What?s the most irritating thing to you inside a site?s member area?? and ?How much do you trust a site?s tour pages?? I strongly recommend everyone who is serious about running pay sites have a look at these polls and the results? And the big lesson here is to not let your ego get in the way of interpreting the answers! So many of us have a hard time letting go of our own notion of how things should work or feel the need to educate an ill-informed surfer but ultimately the best sales are going to come from catering to the perceptions (and misperceptions) of the surfers at large. So again, take these polls and glean the knowledge from them. It?s golden nuggets for sure!
