Anyway, with that much "promotional" material, I am starting to think that it's no wonder people don't buy porn. Not only is there a ton of free TGP content, but the content quality is impressive. 1600x1200 images!! 5 minute videos! No wonder people never click on the link to buy more.
Instead of providing more and bigger images for promotional material, producers should have been providing tiny 300x200 TGP image galleries, with blurred out pussies or big red X's across the images - "To see this full size, JOIN YOU IDIOT".
I don't think it was the tubes that kill sales - it started way before that. Too much free high quality TGP and MGP content, where websites/affiliate programs were trying to out-do each other and giving away better and better quaility promotional content.
Non paying surfers should be saying "I can't see shit"

That might explain for the people who actually sign up to a membership site just to see pictures. However I seriously doubt more than 2% of the people will only look at pictures and not videos. And there is probably 90% + that wont even bother looking at pictures and only look at videos.
Tube sites are popular for a reason, videos kicks the shit out of pictures. Another reason why TGP sites have all be crashing hard traffic wise the last 4-5 years. 12 pictures and 4 - 30 sec clips just doesn't satisfy when you can get as many full length videos as you want.
Don't get any delusions, tubes killed TGP sites. TGP sites didn't kill anything.
