Great article Rick! It's nice to actually see something useful on here for a change. Especially coming from you! Instead of some of these idiots that "think" they know everything. Hopefully, they took notes.
So, you finally got the vasectomy. Hope your balls start feeling better soon. lol
What bothers me the most about this is that I had a fucking vasectomy yesterday morning. So I sat at home with my balls the size of grapefruits writing an article for everyone here. I spent the whole day on the dame thing and I don't even get credit for it.
lol man, i gotta admit, i thought it was a little funny at 1st too... but i also thought it was a good article and i agree with alot of what you said... i can tell by your reaction that you actually seem to be a pretty good guy who cares about what he does... i can respect that
i think leased content CAN suck... that majority of what ive see has been bad, there is some good stuff out there... even with the bad stuff ive seen, i think it wouldnt be so bad if they gave the leaser more control over the presentation of the feeds and shit... maybe they do moreso now... its been a few years since i really checked into anything leased
Good post Rick! Touched on some very interesting points.
Don't agree 100% about the leased feeds but everyone has their own opinion on how a members area should work. Variety is what makes the internet so interesting.

Now that sucks! And trust me Rick, I for one, do know what sucks when it comes to getting wrong attention to the wrong thing!

don't worry Rick, I think that every one who read your article and the first reply knows that the credit is yours.
Sweet Article, very informative and crisp, way to go Rick Latona.
SIG TOO BIG! Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
Don't worry Rick, when I read your post I never even looked at the nickname and wouldn't have even noticed it had a different nick if you had not mentioned it.

Oh yeah.. care to explain this?
How much time did you put into that? The gay guy is better looking than me, IMHO.

- I blame the whole development of the industry on leased feeds.
- Most of the paysite owners and webmaster programs think that their prospective customers are idiots
- But: Exclusive content doesn't necessarily result in better conversions and higher retentions
I still have a hangover so I can not go into detail right now ;)

At no point in my article do I mention exclusive content. Personally, we have a mix. We shoot some exclusive stuff but I also buy a lot of content and just chop it up and put it into the member's area so it looks exclusive. The point is for the member to be able to quickly navigate around the site and find what they want and watch it the way they want. I hate a page with a bunch of links to feeds that open in different windows with different navigational structures and playback formats. It's sloppy.

Nice. You broke it down real well. The own versus renting was very powerful but add in that you constantly need to feed the webmasters content to push you and it is a very compelling argument to buy the stuff.
What about upselling in the members area? That can also look like shit. I hate that when the surfer thinks they are still in the members area but they are now in an upsell. Makes for nice money but it has to hurt retention.

We have a single link in our member's area for additional items. If someone clicks that link a new window opens where we have the one-on-one chat stuff and other upsell items. We do not mix them with everything else. In otherwords, I agree with you 100%.

I'm trying to imagine why you would tell us about "grapefruit sized balls"

Couple things come to mind about this thread and CJ(rick).
a) right on the money about lease versus buying license. Buying licensed content gives you teh chance to control how your members see and utilize and interact with your content. We've gone through great lengths to make content that is compatible with your system, provided a mryiad of options and file sizes and such so you can customize it for your users.
Who knows your users better than you? Nobody.
b) A year later, the content you buy licenses for won't be useless. That's a myth. There are new surfers every day, don't we use this argument in every other facet of our industry? Same is true for the pictures and videos they see. They are new to someone, always.
c) CJ is by far the most professional group we've ever dealt with in terms of specifying what they need, on a content deal, and what their technical and functional specs are on a product they pay for.
I wish all companies in this industry had their game together the way rick and co do at cj.

What point did I miss. I'm ready for a debate but you have to actually say something. All you have to do is make a point yourself and I might send you a shirt like you asked for in another thread of mine.
