This has been adressed before within TGP2 and it has, partly, been dealt with.
What I'm talking about? I'm talking about FREE! Everywhere you go you get free porn, free pics, free sex, free galleries, free tour, free everything!
Well, if the surfer sees FREE all over the place, do you think his mind is set to BUY something? Hell no, he'll just rub his hands and start searching for all that FREE shit y'allz promise him! Nevermind that only the tour is FREE, his mind will be set NOT to buy anything, since that's what you told him in the first place! You make the surfer anticipate all that free stuff, how the fuck do you expect him to want to pay for anything?
Marketing 101 definition of customer satisfaction: customer-perceived product value equals or exceeds the expectations created by the advertising of that product. Now you promise the surfer he'll get free porn. Or free galleries. Or free tours. Then he finds out he actually has to pay for it. Or gets console-raped. Or whatever to help him realize "this ain't fucken' free, pardner!" You think he'll pull the plastic or will he move on? Some of the savvy ones maybe will, or some of those who get so horny on a set that they just need to join the paysite advertised so they can get off. But most won't. And it's not so much the amount of readily available free porn, as it's the mindset YOU put your surfers in.
I'm not saying the amount of free porn on the net isn't a cause for the dropping conversions. It is. But it's not the only one and it's DEFINITELY not the biggest one.
What you should do? Stop using the word FREE on your sites, galleries, free sites, AVS sites, anything. Just stop fucking using it, how hard can it be? Maybe your CTR to sponsor will drop, but your conversion ratio will increase for sure! And stop using e-mail programs and programs such as Amateur Pages ClickPic that actually REQUIRE you to use the word FREE in your textlinks ("Click here to see my free pics"). I'm sure the sponsors will be thrilled in the end as well. Not only will their conversions get better, but overhead will drop along with bandwidth usage.
I took a quick look at 20-something galleries in the TGP2 pool. About half of them used the word FREE. This is way better than the regular TGP galleries. But it's way worse than what it SHOULD be.
I chose not to name my TGP2 anything with FREE in it. I know, the most traffic comes in looking for FREE stuff, so I could've named it FREE PORN GALLERIES, FREE DAILY PORN, DAILY UPDATED FREE PICS and so on. But I didn't. Why? Because I don't want the fuckers looking for free stuff on my site. I want those who will understand that the best porn is the one you pay for. I want those anticipating to buy porn, not to freeload on my sites. I want those who haven't yet set their minds on NOT paying for porn, since it's free, thus leaving me no choice but to trick them into joining a site, using means such as free trials, free membership with credit card age verification, free memberships with e-mail address, free dialer downloads and so on. These you cannot convert unless you resort to some fucking of some kind. They're set on not paying.
Think about it! And if you're smart enough for your own good, you'll see to it that the word FREE will never, EVER appear again on any html page created by you. FREE doesn't pay your rent. FREE doesn't sell. It just creates freeloaders.
