    Why do most pay sites look the same.

    If you go around and look at most pay sites they all look the same, You land on the home page of most paysites and what you get is flashing graphics saying things like "join now and get access to this and that" with a few free pages of the same layout, or "download the movie now" It kinda looks like they have all been designed by the same designer or have been copied, Do they actully bring the punters in or are surfers getting bored with seeing the same old layout with different niches, Is it true that the more amateurish looking the website has been built, is it drawns in more users.Or are users looking for something more interactive these days. I can remeber in the 90,s when I was a surfer looking for porn most of the sites looked different and kinda exciting, it made me want to enter the site instead of just seeing the homepage and thinking Iv just seen a site that looks the same then go off serching for something different. Maybe I have been looking at to many porn sites I dont know but they just dont seem as exciting as they used to be.

                    I think it's just evolved to be the way it is because what converts survives and what doesn't dies off

                    I think its good to be unique - but not TOO unique

                        Yeah I kinda know what you mean if it works well, why change it. It just seems that there is a complete lack of imagination with some paysites, Im not a designer but it just seems that a lot of sites are all bassed on the same design and im surprised that surfers arent looking at them and thinking "ah seen that site some where before Ill go and find something else"

                          It evolved to convert. The more vanilla the more it has to look like a paysite looks nowadays. You might have noticed, that smaller niches or fetish sites have different looks most of the time...to cater the nice and to tell the surfer "look, this is DIFFERENT"

                            So its basically what surfers are used to seeing when looking for paysites. Unless its a special niche then the website stands out from the others

                              Most people just stay with the same layout because they're too lazy and unimaginative to do a new theme or design. They take no pride in the actual art form of the website.

                                When you hit one of these tours that people are used to seeing... they instantly know its a paysite, that there are a few easily accessed free samples, and that if they like what they see all they need to do is click one of the many flashing 'join now for instant access' buttons

                                  So what makes the social networking sites so popular so quick, is it the interaction between the surfers and could this be introduced into a pay site, I see sites like Rude.com that just appear from no where and become very popular very quickly, and when you look at these sites although they do roughly the same thing for their users, their designs are completly different. I just dont understand why the paysites cant do the same and make the site more appealing or interactive to their users and just maybe this is why there is a shift from paysites to social networking, webcam and dating sites. Maybe I have it all wrong I dont know...and im still learning about the adult biz, but thanks for all your input I appreciate it.

                                      not really a fair criticism - all business are the same. don't all cereal boxes look similar? all fast food restaurants? etc etc

                                      doing a design that is 'outside the box' may seem like a good idea but there's a good chance it won't convert any better or may convert worse than the current paysite tour layouts that look 'cookie cutter' now.

                                      NastyDollars and Bangbros invented this tour format and had great sucess with it - the rest of the industry copied it. they deserve the credit.

                                      Perfect Gonzo improved upon it a bit by using very large well Photoshopped images on the ND/Bangbros inspired tours.

                                      I'm sure at some point somebody will have success with a new fresh tour layout and then everybody will copy it and some will add and improve it.
                                      I moved my sites to Vacares Hosting. I've saved money, my hair is thicker, lost some weight too! Thanks Sly!

                                        You make a good point. You could probably come up with something cool, but it would probably be pretty expensive...

                                        and I mean, how much better would you even convert anyway? It would have to be coupled with really high quality, innovative content.

                                        If something like that every happened, I imagine it might be a collaborative project between some of the biggest names in the industry with just a ton of content and it would be pretty cheap

                                        it would have to provide more than just the porn too....

                                        yeah its possible, but you'd have to have a crapload of cash and content and skills to pull it off.

                                        And when it comes down to it, a lot of people would just rather make a smaller investment in a fairly proven model.

                                        I have a few interesting ideas I'd like to implement if I can ever raise enough capital with my current adult ventures...

                                          Agreed,

                                          The reason many look the same and have easy to find big "join now" and "download now" graphics is because it's a proven format and it works..

                                          As far as site with amateurish design / amateurish content, some people prefer those.. i.e.: many surfers prefer the realism of a website that the girl that lives next door did on her own vs a flashy site with professional images..

                                          But on the flip side, I can't tell you how many sites that I've went to that it takes me 5 fucking minutes to find a join button... LOL

                                          I know when I go into ANY fast food resturaunt that the menu will be behind/above the cash register counter. If McD's wanted to "be different" and put the menu in the bathroom, it would probably not help their business...

                                          So I would ask "Why don't all pay sites look the same?" LOL

                                            As long as there are enough free trailers to jerk off too, I don't really care what the sites look like.

                                              As long as there are enough free trailers to jerk off too, I don't really care what the sites look like.
                                              Mr. Tomwil, I hereby nominate you the most honest man in the world. Get thee to my site and jerk off at will. Just click Enter, and, there's -- I don't know -- 20 or 30 free clips on the page that opens. Maybe more maybe less. But...

                                              But, regarding this thread, yeah, some of it is: What works, works, don't reinvent the wheel. But some of it, too, is resources. I mean, go to Jill Kely's site. That fucker is unique. But a site like that costs about twenty thousand bucks just to design. So, you know, lots of factors: Conversion ratios for specific designs, people using templates, limited resources, but if you look around, some are unique, even on a limited budget.
