Most people look a few times before they buy. I know I do.
Another problem is that many sponsors nowadays use entrance popups. Not exactly the best way to gain the trust of a potential customer.
Also important is the state of the whole business. If a surfer believes the adult industry can't be trusted, he most likely won't buy. Simple as that.

in porn? nope
porn is an impulse buy....
unless it's an extremely unique niche, once they're gone, they are gone...may as well make something off them.
I'm not a fan of entrance consoles on payistes either, and too many consoles (from paysite exits) become ineffective too...non-adult is a perfect example of some fuckface learning javascript and not how to properly use a console. An exit console from a pay site should be "oh you didn't like my site? Try this one"
Something I noticed is that an inadvertant fuckup on my part actually increased our exit console sales...I messed up the url in a console and so when the blur console would pop, it would pop to our 404 page which is our first exit console, so we had these three consoles endlessly looping upon close, with the only way out being clicking on a link. We saw a 50% increase in signups to one of the sites on that console. So, if you say that people don't buy from consoles? Wrong, they don't buy from poor consoles. You say they don't buy when trapped? These people were inadvertantly trapped and still bought. So, don't kid yourselves.
I look at freesite surfers the same as I do the guys who stand at the magazine racks reading all day, but not buying a fucking thing. That's why a good store manager will say "are you going to buy that or leave?" If they left without buying, they weren't a customer anyways, just a loiterer. If they buy, they either liked the magazine or knew they had to buy to keep reading "the good stuff".
