Well, being a professional insomniac (GOD I'd love to get some sleep!) I can't help but having my braincells fried.
Anyway, I was thinking, regarding to a previous thread about TGP's going AVS, that wouldn't be such a bad idea. Here are some reasons why:
1. Everyone knows that while TGP traffic is massive, it is not extremely productive. I believe Tommy (of tommys-bookmarks.com) had a point when bringing out the many advertising oportunities withing an AVS site. WITHOUT the pricy BW.
2. Gallery makers could use AVS for their galleries too. Many AVS systems provide you with free hosting as well. And let's be honest, aren't we all tired of sexshare end terra? This could also result in eventually accepting ONLY AVS galleries. At least the surfer wouldn't get the gallery TOTALLY for free anymore.
3. You'd most probably lose significant amounts of your current traffic. On the other hand, the bookmarkers staying and the new surfers getting to you would be a veritable source of income. Hell, they've all proven their willingness to pay for porn, and most of them (with few exceptions) would be credit/debit card holders. Catch my drift?
4. You'd most certainly get rid of the UNPRODUCTIVE part of your traffic, the low-life masturbators that wouldn't pay for porn if their dicks depended on it. Again, less BW costs.
5. Some would say that sure, many wouldn't go AVS anyway, especially the smaller ones now seeing their chance to grow. Well, what the hell, let them have the traffic I mentioned above while we get the good traffic. I wouldn't mind.
6. Just think of your targeted credit-card owner traffic and imagine how it could affect your free trials for programs which require a credit card. Shit, I just saw green!
Well, as I said, I'm always tired and my head is spinning, but I hope I could plant a few ideas. Oh, and I ain't claiming to be original, just a thread I picked up on... Anyone who could recommend some good sleeping pills? Seriously...
Respect,
