I said it before: every paysite that sees the content of my site as competition has very shitty content. A free site could never come up to the quality of a good paysite. I doubt ARS has to fear competition from my site. In their site you have long series, video, everything you want, niches, a lot of series.
Someone once made a comparison between bars. He had a bar and I had one across the street giving the beer away. He asked who would go broke first. I told him we wound't go broke. In my bar people order a beer. If they're lucky I have the brand they like, but I'll be out of that brand after two or three glasses. On other nights I wouldn't have a certain brand at all. Some beer I give away is cold, but others are piss warm. But with every beer there's a little note: "like this beer? There's PLENTY more where this came from in the bar across the street. Sure, you'll have to pay, but they have unlimited supplies of what you want and it's served in a Jacuzzi".
I'm not competition if you look close at it, I'm a market place where paysites could offer their products. Nothing more, nothing less.
As far as the conversions go: people don't buy on the first click. They usually want to see if there's more out there. On my site people will click a banner and then click 'back' to view the galleries to see if there's anything like it they can get for free. If they are done viewing the galleries they'll go back to that banner to sign up if they want more. But they'll think again about clicking a banner if they had to reboot there machine to get rid of the consoles...
I do have a lot of visitors that never will sign up for a paysite, but I doubt very much if those people would have signed up if there was no free porn on the web... Luckily I still have a lot of people that do click the banners and do sign up. 'cause a statement like 'you'll get paid anyhow' is only partially valid. Sure, I get paid, but what's the continuity of my business if the people advertising on my site don't get their money's worth? We have a very good renewing ratio, so people must be making more than they pay me.
