I do have a Stacounter code on all those re-directed YouPorn pages. It's a tiny amount, less than a hundred clicks a week.  |
Yeah, I've never taken the time to try figuring out - as much as you'd be able to, at least - how many YouPorn surfers actually type in that extra directory after the domain. You'd think unless there was some mention of a special sale for YP users or something, the vast majority just enter domain.com.
I spoke with them at one point about this and they insisted that huge #s of folks do indeed type that crap in.
It *is* extra work for owners and like you that's the only site I do it for, because YP's conversions were solid (tho IMO they've dropped off like most tube traffic lately). If another site requested the same thing I'd refuse and actively convince other webmasters to refuse likewise - to make that a 'standard' requirement would be bad especially considering all the other questionable sacrifices we make for the sake of tubes.
