I took time to look at the sponsors tours and could see why the conversion ratio is so low.

I'm not saying anything about what is inside the site, just the tours.

Initial tour impression
It's just the same old stuff that's on 10,000 other sites. The layout, format and approach just came out of the "pre-designed" tour box. It never gave me the impression that these guys have anything different or special to offer. The actual selection of pictures on some tours say it all.

Never saw any real referece to how much content I was getting for my $30 except one that said Thousands of beautiful chicks on a tour containing girls I would show the door to.

Then looking at the sample clips I soon got the impression that once I'd seen one scene I would of seen 50 of them, assuming they have 50 scenes. The quality of the photography was poor, the quality of the pornography was dismal.

Over all I think Pornopat wasted his money promoting this sponsor.

Tough words but what I believe is true. Because;

Getting the hits was the easy part, remember traffic is not king. It's too easy to pay for a banner on The Hun, worldsex, etc. Conversions are KING and GOD because hits just cost money until they convert.

Think of the mindswet of a freesite surfer. He's either looking for free porn with little intention of paying or he's using them like Yellow Pages to find the next site to join. Surfer one is going to need something specail to persuade him, surfer two has seen all this stuff before and been bitten. He's going to take more to convince.

If this amount of traffic had been sent to a site put up be a craftsman of porn the response would be a lot better. APC seem to me to be the type of sponsor who buy on price, or shoot themselves, then throw up a site after site after site in different niches.

They have 9/10 different niches, which ones do they understand as much as the person they are selling to?
