What do you consider a good teen site?
Lately I have noticed two sides of the coin here. A lot of people on this board tend to go for teen sites just becuase they are with a big pps sponsor with tons of hosted galleries and premade ads.
The other side is, most of these big sponsors have no idea what teen is anymore. All using bought filler content of girls that look like 80's porn and the creators of the sites don't even market it as beautiful girls anymore. It's all just teen plastered everywhere on hahahahahaha cutter tours. You know the type, everyone uses them. 600x600 (average) box with naked chicks and grammar mistakes.
What irritates me is sales reps from hahahahahaha cutter programs spamming me on here and on ones on ICQ trying to force me to use their sites every time I look for teen sites to promote.
When I look for a teen site I look at how well the creators know and actually dig the niche. I look at what's cute and classy to an extent. I really dig unique fresh sites. Something that has an enticing tour with no leaks rocks. I could care less about hosted galleries and ad tools. I know how to use photoshop if it really comes down to it. Exclusive content is a major bonus too. Sites pushing filler content have never done shit for me, especially in the teen niche. I have to fall in love with the site myself or it just won't do well for me to market. I find that hardcore teen sites are difficult to be drawn to as well, they're mostly all hahahahahaha cutter sites with girls that don't even classify as teen. The whole idea of teen is young, fresh and virgin and most of all, freshly legal. I have had some success pushing some hardcore teen sites with teaser content but it took actually having to work at it very hard.. Guys want to see girls they can get into a high school crush all over again with that just 'might' put out on prom night and I take advantage of the fact that guys are into that. Unfortunately most bigger program teen sites forget this aspect totally and don't really care because their game plan is just "saturate the fuck out of it, then build a new one with same content 6 months from now" That theory does me no good, I like sponsors that I can build sites for, set up links and forget about it and let traffic build to them and continue to get sales for a couple years solid. Something only unique sites can do to be honest.
What is your take on it?
Do you think teen sites aren't what they should be for the most part?
What is you ideal teen site to promote and what works best for you?
Do you think that smaller programs know the niches better and work them better and provide better teen sites to promote?
