For years now I have NOT had ads on my paysite network of 32 adult websites called Porn Nerd Network (PNN). You know the kinds of ads I mean: cams, dating, penis pills, those 'Better Than Craig's List" and Flash-type Brazzers ads and, of course, the dreaded pop-ups (or pop-unders). I was so proud of myself, not being like all those "other websites" where the advertising is either so overwhelming as to induce seizures (all that LFASHING) or redundant (ads you see everywhere). My sites were "clean", with a single purpose in mind: sell the Membership.
Besides, don't affiliates GO APESHIT over "traffic leaks"? Even if that traffic leak is a necassary traffic trade via a recip link? Yup - NO TRAFFIC LEAKS. Also affs wouldn't get a cut of the revenue generated by ads so it's really not fair...
This was always my thinking. But then I started showing my sites to surfers who gave me some interesting feedback. You see, the absence of any advertising was telling them my websites weren't "legit" (their phrase)!! They had become so used to seeing flashing ads on every porn site they visit that when they failed to see them on MY sites they thought, well, that "something must be wrong".
The people I showed my sites to (I was at a Super Bowl party with about fifty people) were prepared to "quick click/close" a pop-up then were taken aback when no pop-ups appeared. So are ads good or bad? Good if they make you money, I do understand this basic principle. LOL But I mean even if they DON'T make you money are they worth having on your site simply for 'credibility'?

, etc.) regardless of whether you have them in your members areas or not. Why not have them buy and use these services through a reseller they already know and trust?
