Is it saturation or savvy surfers that are making it harder to sell in our industry?
Do you think as webmasters we need to focus on enticing savvy surfers rather than simply trying to 'show them where the most porn is at'?
I was looking through some galleries the other day, and I found one that actually made me want to click through to the paysite. It featured very little nudity, concentrated on the girl and what she was doing with her partner only and the pictures were very high quality.
Being honest with yourself, when was the last time you saw a gallery that actually interested *you* to clickthrough? This is of course without it being disturbing or extreme - just straight porn.
I think too often we just throw shit at the wall and hope some of it sticks. Perhaps a time has no come when we need to actually take a step back and evaluate how our output is being percieved and try to tweak it to make it appealing rather than informative.
Some of you may say that you already do this - great! But it can always be done better.
I hope this motivates you a little bit
