so that is to say, a welcome page is a welcome page. all of Lelu's videos, photos, and other pages can be seen. the visitor already knows what he'll get if he wants to go look. the homepage is where she introduces herself and her offer and convinces him to go look around.

shortening the copy on the homepage would only hurt her conversion rate because the homepage bounce rate would increase. less is not more in online marketing. more clicks mean less sales. putting click here on the homepage just makes them click away.

as i said before, her conversion rate is 1:88 over the last 30 days. she doesnt need to change a thing about her homepage. you keep wanting to step outside your area of expertise, and change things in areas where you are not an expert, and this exercise is getting old.

do you have a site we can look at that has a similar or better conversion rate? preferably a solo model site? from what i remember your sites are more broke than brokeback mountain. why do you want a successful 30 year career in content to be ignored or laughed at because you think you know everything about online porn? you know content. thats it.

its harder to shoot porn today than it was back in the old days. maybe stick to shooting porn and you would be happier.
Is debate about one comment on making the massage more personal with a "you"?

What about all the other suggestions, mainly the preview video and putting surfers on a page with no where to go from there. And the actual video itself?

The difference in a few words is a small thing.
