This industry has always had a different mindset to buying content than getting the best. If some had adopted the approach it did with traffic, they might be in a better position these days.

Buying the product is usually about getting the best price and not the best product. Rather than offer the good shooters what they wanted to produce for them. They went out and bought 5 scenes for $1200 to $2500. Even Manwin paying $2,000 for 3 scenes isn't going to pull over a shooter who can sell one scene non exclusive for $3,000.

Most got people who couldn't shoot to the level of the magazines. Yes I know it's all about video, but most magazines shooters know how to shoot decent videos. It's not as if they got the top video shooters either. They got what they paid for.

Now it's all theory. Still if a TGP, Tube, sample on a blog or any other means of getting traffic. It's got a better chance of getting the surfer to click the banner. If when the surfer lands on the sites the content on the tour is of a better quality than the rest of the sites in that niche. Its got a better chance of converting. If once the member is inside the site the content is better than other sites, retention is longer, the chances are the surfer will return.

So Nicky with just your traffic and landing page. You might convert 10% 0r 50% better. You might retain 10% 0r 50% better. Not just you, but most affiliates sending traffic to that site.

Anyone got a theory about lousy content converting and retaining better than good?

And please, not good in "Penthouse or Playboy" style.

And OP this is why the trolls and losers hate me. They don't have a logical answer.
