Well......LOL There are many kinds of tours and many ideas on what is "best". Video/no video, lots of text/little text, updates/Twitter feeds/just thumbnails....so not to sound like a lawyer here but "it depends".
On what? On your traffic. For my sites I have a basic philosophy: get them to the Join page ASAP (usually 1 click). Plus, with so many people accessing sites via mobile these days a simple, clean, thumb-heavy tour is perfect. Even desktop users visit, on average, 80+ websites a day so how long is someone staying on a porn site? Throwing shit on there to make it 'sticky' works less and less these days (I think) but, again, it depends on your traffic, niche, etc.
All I know is this: compare the two tours below. Both make great sales but one does better than the other. Guess which one:

http://www.felluciablowhd.com/index1.html
Basically the same site (some minor differances) but the thumbs-heavy tour does better (so yes, there will be a similar tour for the HD version soon).

Hope this helps. And good luck as always!!
