Im not so sure you guys realize how the site is used if my store isnt on that front page my revenues drop by more than 75% plain and simple. people dont use the categories pulldown it doesnt seem, my suggestion would be to list the categories down the side or something.
I know if I pushed traffic to c4s my sales would improve but thats a losing proposition for me, Id rather sell the customer directly than send him away to another site.
I work very hard to monetize my older content on c4s and I want to stay within the rules but in the year I have been doing c4s the rules seem to have changed many times with no indication of that and its becoming harder and harder to make the sales and as such less and less worth the time
Im rather bright I know I could circumvent the system by breaking up a clip and recoding it in 12 different formats but thats not really what I am looking to do.
you guys could help a lot by looking at how that fron page is used and adjusting it accordingly.

I know for a fact from our conversations that Neil has been fighting that 'pop' issue for years trying to find the best solution while battling the cheats. I do not think there is any perfect solution.
C4S was built for the independents and fetish folk. A simple solution for those who did not have pay sites, and wanted to sell their wares. It has become much more. People who want to have the pay site cake, and eat it too are not going to win.
This has come up plenty of times in my tutorial thread. Pay site people want to only promote their sites, but want all the benefits of clips4sale and Neil buying and driving traffic, yet complain when he eliminates off site links.
You simply are not going to get the both. Neil has done a lot to get to where he is, and traffic, Howard Stern, etc. Why would he want to dump a bunch of traffic to his own clips4sale, then have it leaked everywhere else.
I am not bashing you. I am not bashing Neil. Simply pointing out both sides of the issue as I have seen in various threads, and from one on one conversations.
