I think that design/layout of site are not playing big roll once the surfer pay to enter. He won?t rebill to adore your design ? porn is the thing he is interested for, and sure, making him easy navigate site is a plus, but I think not the crucial thing. Even if navigation is complicated, he will once go thought it and finally learn how to use it, at least, he has 30 days to do this. Maybe one of the reasons could be lack of personality of a site? If you give him porn, a jerk off material, which is nothing else then blowjob-fucking-cuming (order can be different in various scenes while hundreds of sites out there is offering the pretty much same thing (lets assume the same quality) ? why he would rebill at your site? Speaking about personality, aren?t solo girl sites trying to offer exactly that? It would be interested to know their rebills.

Another aspect could be developing of technologies and more percentage of surfers using fast connections today. With that type of connection, surfer could download hundreds of GBs to his hard drive during 30 days, basically rip all your site, and why the hell he would like to rebill? But, combining personality with constant updates on your site, I guess you could do something about it.
very good points.

Less face it this is 2006. Digital cameras are so easy to use a chimp could take a decent picture. So why should amateur be grainy, out of focus and tinted color?

We've been reviewing a lot of sites and the problem with many is over compression. simple as that, some have our images and we know what we delivered and we know what we see. Over compressed images.

You are 100% right about personalising the site. This is the real reason many exclusive sites make it, the site/content has personality. Just getting 100 exclusive videos will not cut it.

You need to go further, like Bang Bus, Girls Gone Wild, Perfect Gonzo etc. but you still need to make sure the porn is good as these sites do.

In todays market you need to cut yourself apart from the 10,000 other sites offering exactly the same as you, even though it is exclusive it's no different. A naked girl on a sofa/bed is always going to be no more than just a "naked girl on a sofa/bed". It's not exclusive to the surfer even if you're the only person in the world with that girl.

If you make a solo girl site, you must give her a personality, but the more you do this the more you deter others who do not like her. But still it's another solo girl site that is one of 1,000 available to the surfer. What you need to do is cut above the rest.

Find a girl like Raven Riley or Tawnee Stone, get them to work the site, make the porn hotter than what's on the other 999 sites out there, make the images better than them and make the site more surfable.

If you want to win the race you need to run harder than those around you.

Good points. But if Exclusive is so important to them and works so well why can't most of the afford to buy exclusive? Truth is few narrow niche sites can afford to pay $400 for a video and photset. And I can shoot it, shot for Leg Sex and Leg World, plus was shooting messy sets decades ago for Razzle and Escort.

A decent digital camera will always produce a better image than a scanned slide. Unless you want to print and have a drum scanner. Two totally different mediums.
