I've been doing a lot of gay galleries lately and am finding that using a great sales pitch with so-so pics (no cumshots and no more than a picture of two of any sort of penetration) is greatly improving my ratios. I mainly have a lot of tease pics (grabbing of the crotch and cock right near the mouth, yet no contact. That anticipation, make them click to the sponsor to see that. THAT is what gets them hard. If you give them 12-15 pictures of explicit hardcore and cumshots, you're giving them everything for free when you should be teasing it harder.

You know when ratios really went into the shitter? When TGP's stopped allowing the pictures on full html pages...I had nearly DOUBLE sales when I was allowed to do that. THAT will sell a surfer...a big picture on an html page with a text link below that says "Click here to see this full set and many more just like it"
We may have confused each other.

I'm all about selecting images that don't give away the site.. I'm also about putting up more than pictures and banners. It's text that will intice them to click further that they need, but this isn't necessarilly 5 text links to the sites and 5 banners. this can be done with non linking text, a header and a footer (for example).
