I am very curious to see your reactions to this.
I have just launched a POTD tool with the following characteristics:
13 different thumbnails sizes:
88x88 - 88x117 - 90x120 - 100x133 - 100x150
110x147 - 120x160 - 130x173 - 140x187 - 150x150
150x200 - 160x160 - 160x187
3 different content types:
softcore - hardcore - mixed
no monthly looping, but 365 different pictures for softcore and 365 for hardcore (mixed is a random combination of the two databases).
But in addition to this, i have setup the following possibility:
in place of the POTD regular thumbnail, a special thumbnail in the chosen size is automatically shown, when i am live on cam. This thumbnail invites the user to watch me live on webcam for free. When the user clicks it, he is redirected to a special webcam page through the webmaster affiliate link and he is able to peep me live for 1 minute and chat with me. After that time, the user is automatically disconnected by my live cam, but he can still keeping chatting with me, giving me the chance to push a sale. When i switch my webcam off, the POTD system automatically replaces the special thumbnail with the regular one, on the webmaster's site.
The webmaster, of course, can choose to add or not this possibility, when generating their POTD code in my webmasters area.
This is the landing page of the softcore POTD

This one is the one for the hardcore one:

And this is an example of the thumbnails showing up, in place of the regular POTD one, in the webmaster' site when i am live on webcam (just to give you an idea - the real size is automatically pulled from the webmaster link code, accordingly with his chosen size):

The webcam status feed and free peeping shall be a great converting tool. Consider that i have referral cookies set at 60 days and while the status feed on POTD should raise click conversion, the free peeping should make users more likely to come back, if they don't signup immediately.
What do you think?
