You didn't do that though, Paul. You took the rinse and repeat phrase I used to talk about continually a/b testing and posted about that totally out of context, but whatever...you can lead a horse to water.
No one is asking here about how to fix a global problem of how to sell porn, which is the question you ALWAYS answer, whether it was the question or not.
The question was about how to improve ratios, which is what I answered.

No it doesn't. As I have said before. I could make a tour with your content on, that you say isn't good enough any more and I could make it sell.
It's all about design, copy, layout, and understanding how to sell.
I'm willing to put my money where my mouth is on that. You're not.

That's exactly what it will do. That is what a good designer does all day long.

Only if your business model is built to rely on affiliates. And any site owner that does that is stupid nowadays.

Yes, that is what the OP
asked for. Not a lecture on how better content is the sole thing that will save the industry, Paul. Which is all you EVER say. Regardless of the question. Like a stuck record.
So I guess we have a difference of opinion on how to help the OP improve his ratios. I think he should split test his tours. Something that is REALLY cheap simple and easy to do overnight. You think he should throw away all his content and make it again, but better.
I guess he can decide which he'd prefer to try.
