As an affiliate myself I see it like this...Some sites ARE DVD download sites. Think Videosz Yes, that is their gig. But a site like mine is exclusive and unique. I personally write, shoot, edit, and create every last thing on it. In order for MY customers to have something of value it HAS to be protected. Otherwise why did you just pay $34.99 if you could have seen the entire members area ripped on a torrent site for free?
A review site should be taking that standard and being smart about it. Yes, you want to grade a dvd download site by how good their downloads are. And you want to grade a solo girl site with exclusive content by just how exclusive it is and how well it fits the niche.
Personally if I join a big download site with hundreds of studios content that is designed for downloading...then yes it is a factor. However, as a consumer, if I join a site that is supposed to be exclusive then I damn sure don't expect to see it for free everywhere else.
That would make the consumer feel like a sucker.
I spent a lot of time and money out of my pocket to re-encode BY HAND every movie we have and re-upload all of them. And then I re-did that again as I tweaked through settings and read documentation and educated myself.
Seems to me that if presented correctly that can be shown as the positive that it is for my members and not a negative. Which would result in greater sales for the review site and would also discourage the people who want to download all of our content from joining in the first place.
For instance, I cater to the big tit guys on Claudia-Marie.Com I KNOW that niche inside and out. I know exactly what they are looking for, how to shoot it and how to present it. And most importantly how to SELL it. It's how her site got so damn big so quick.
Knowing that, why don't the review sites present it the same way? As in: Here is a site with damn near anything a big tit lover would enjoy. AND when you join your membership actually means something because you are part of an exclusive collection of people viewing content that is NOT on every tube and torrent.
That IS an honest statement. No need to bullshit the surfer. No need to make up stuff in the review. But it can be presented in a way that shows the value of our encrypted streaming as opposed to making it a negative. It really IS a positive to our true members. You know, the ones who rebill month after month.
We aren't a download site, we are an exclusive big tit site that should be reviewed as such in my opinion. But if certain of my affililates that run review sites just don't want to maximize sales with me...I can't do anything about it. I'll just keep raking in the type-ins and making 100% of the profit.
