    There are some AMAZINGLY bad members areas out there...how can site owners be proud?

    I have been doing some research the past few days and checking out members areas, and MY GOD some site owners should be ASHAMED of themselves....making people pay $30+ per month to get into a site and giving them what looks like an 8th graders threw up some pics using Front Page

    hell, one site was LITERALLY just a directory listing, all the content was there, but just in directory listing format

    and people wonder why retention is so low and a lot of webmasters only choose PPS

                  there is one PPS program whose members areas are nothing more than upsell mills - doubt if there is 500 dollars worth of content in any of them.
                  I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                                      how the fuck do people get away with this shit?

                                      I am on like the 30th site and I have seen ONE members area that I would consider halfway decent, and even that had mysql errors everywhere

                                          haha, here is a great one, a celeb paysite

                                          all it has in the members area are upsells to other celeb sites and pictures from news sites of the celebs...cost to join? $30 a month

                                                  Names please.
                                                  OK name one.
                                                  Inquiring minds want to know.
                                                  .
                                                  .

                                                  Arguing with a troll is a lot like wrestling in the mud with a pig, after a couple of hours you realize the pig likes it.

I've seen websites that haven't updated in months that only have 10 videos and about 50 image galleries, but they think they can charge 30 bucks per month for the member to access this stuff.

                                                                                      Best sites I've been in that come to mind: Any of the Karup's websites (karups's private collection, hometown amateurs, older women). MC-Nudes. FTVGirls. BangBros network. Only Over 30.

                                                                                      Website owners could learn a thing or two from those member's areas. That's how you treat a customer.

                                                                                                                                                  got his porn for free and was saved from being ripped off.

                                                                                                                                                          hell, one site was LITERALLY just a directory listing, all the content was there, but just in directory listing format

                                                                                                                                                          and people wonder why retention is so low and a lot of webmasters only choose PPS
                                                                                                                                                          No shit.. what I love is the ones that have crappy members areas... no content to speak off.. a couple feeds.. and then they complain about your conversions from trials to paid membership and so want to switch you to revshare...

If the site is not listed then they are probably afraid to have it listed
                                                                                                                                                              Everyone should take a look at their reviews before promoting any site. They provide the most complete reviews you are going to find. Any paysite with sense will get a review and look at the feedback and work on what they see as issues.

                                                                                                                                                              Also, when we build UncutBucks V2 we added a thumbnail snapshot of most of the members area for affilaites to see what they are selling. Additionally, if a webmaster wants to check it out we try to hook them up with a pass to check it out.

                                                                                                                                                              We did what you are doing Jace and there are some well known sites that charge a little for a trial which is so limited that you really can't see anything of the girls content, and evrything else is an upsell. I can only assume this is how they offset high PPS deals. Definitely not what I want to send my traffic to!

                                                                                                                                                                      I don't know. I have reviewed hundreds of sites and I have seen some extremely bad ones. The ones that really kill me are the ones that say they have xyz while you are looking at the tour, you get in there and no xyz to be found. xyz can be anything from "hi-res pics" to "thousands and thousands of videos!" or whatever other bogus lie they are throwing at you. It's pretty sad when I'm actually SHOCKED when a paysite tour doesn't lie at all.

Why would someone shell out another $30 after just getting ripped off? Or maybe they just sell the ad space to other unsuspecting webmasters.
