    Review Sites = New TGP

    More worthless traffic for programs. I can think of 3 quality review sites out of 100's....and there are 100's more coming.

    There really is no point to this thread other than to say...get creative. sheep.

      I get sales from much more review sites than just 3, the traffic is far from worthless.

          That's bullshit. Traffic quality on review sites should be much higher than on pretty much any TGP, due to a few factors that I will leave up to you to figure out.

                      I think you're assuming that those 1000s of review sites will remain strictly review sites...

                          so you must have seen a lot of different review sites conversion ratios. so enlighten us on what these shitty conversion ratios are.

                                  Even if those are partly tgps. It can't hurt, when ppl learn to look for paysites rather than for free content.

                                      Review sites do convert better. But in the long run joins from review sites don't convert to full and rebill as long as joins from a TGP site. There are exceptions, but if you sample conversions/rebills over a long period of time from both sources, you'll see TGP joins are more profitable than review site joins.

                                          Some review sites that have been around for years and years were innovators, not sheep.

                                          Blogs are the new TGP, more free porn.

                                                  my bud just has a review section on his site, and for most of the paysites he has 1st or 2nd page google. and se traffic converts awesome, so i dont know what you are talking about.

                                                      I think that is pretty accurate, but I love getting joins from both. I don't think they have the same surfers entirely, so it is good to get review traffic and good to get TGP traffic. The more, the better.

                                                          so a surfer knows that since he's signing up from a referral from a review site he won't stay a member of that paysite as long? interesting

                                                              I can think of a handful of quality review sites and a search on google will bring up 100's.

                                                              beemk...it doesn't take a rocket scientist to realize that most TGP's click thrus and conversions suck. Why not apply the same science to cookie cutter review sites? Thebestporn.com RabbitsReviews.com and a couple of others are an exception.

                                                              fris...a review "section" is completely different from a review site. FreeOnes is a pretty good example of a site with a pretty good review section.

                                                              Oh and OK...I have to agree that Blogs are the new TGP's but Review sites are a close second.

                                                                  There are definite exceptions. But do you really want bookmarkers from review sites joining your sites? The only kind of surfer I can imagine bookmarking a review site would be the ones constantly joining sites, quitting sites, joining sites, quitting sites. Good for the review site operators, not so good for the affiliate programs paying $30 per join on a surfer that is most likely isn't going to stick around long. They're not bookmarking review sites to come back for free porn like they would with a TGP.

                                                                  A surfer that frequents TGPs probably doesn't join paysites very often. That's why they're surfing the TGPs enjoying the 15 second clips. One day they see a girl that really sparks their interest. They HAVE to see more of her or want to see more of the scene they just saw. So cock in hand they join your paysite. And now they're introduced to something they're not used to seeing. Full videos. High resolution. Huge selections. Feeds. Pictures. Cams. everything. Because this is new to them, they're more likely to convert to full and stick around.

                                                                  A surfer that frequents review sites on the other hand... They've seen what paysites have to offer. They've got a harddrive full of videos they've ripped from other sites. The bells and whistles of a paysite aren't new to them. They know the tricks. They'll cancel their trial before they even login to the site.

                                                                  Again, there are exceptions. You really have to handle review sites on an individual basis to see how they perform. If the surfer comes to the review site from a search engine and joins, that's good. If they're a bookmarker that tries a new site every week, that's bad.

The only kind of surfer I can imagine bookmarking a review site would be the ones constantly joining sites, quitting sites, joining sites, quitting sites. Good for the review site operators, not so good for the affiliate programs paying $30 per join on a surfer that is most likely isn't going to stick around long. They're not bookmarking review sites to come back for free porn like they would with a TGP.

                                                                      A surfer that frequents TGPs probably doesn't join paysites very often. That's why they're surfing the TGPs enjoying the 15 second clips. One day they see a girl that really sparks their interest. They HAVE to see more of her or want to see more of the scene they just saw. So cock in hand they join your paysite. And now they're introduced to something they're not used to seeing. Full videos. High resolution. Huge selections. Feeds. Pictures. Cams. everything. Because this is new to them, they're more likely to convert to full and stick around.

                                                                      A surfer that frequents review sites on the other hand... They've seen what paysites have to offer. They've got a harddrive full of videos they've ripped from other sites. The bells and whistles of a paysite aren't new to them. They know the tricks. They'll cancel their trial before they even login to the site.

                                                                      Again, there are exceptions. You really have to handle review sites on an individual basis to see how they perform. If the surfer comes to the review site from a search engine and joins, that's good. If they're a bookmarker that tries a new site every week, that's bad.

                                                                      That's my take on review sites vs tgp sites.

Why not apply the same science to cookie cutter review sites? Thebestporn.com RabbitsReviews.com and a couple of others are an exception.

                                                                                                  all i'm saying is that this industry lacks originality. while mainstream has gone the "web 2.0" route...adult will lag behind...dying industry.

                                                                                                  surfers are getting smarter by the day. the future customers are all internet savvy. in 5-10 years you will no longer be catering to 50 year old joe blow who saw the invention of the internet and computer and remembers a world without it.

                                                                                                  You're going to be trying to sell this stuff to people who have grown up online with pop up after pop up and scam after scam.

                                                                                                  those who are creative and innovate will survive...the rest...are a wrap
                                                                                                  this industry lacks creativity? tell that to the girls having 50 guys jerkoff onto their face at the same time.

                                                                                                  how much more creative can adult get anyway? we're selling porn... there are only so many ways you can repackage it.

                                                                                                  besides, copying what has already been done seems to work. just ask Google.

                                                                                                                              surfers are getting smarter by the day. the future customers are all internet savvy. in 5-10 years you will no longer be catering to 50 year old joe blow who saw the invention of the internet and computer and remembers a world without it.

                                                                                                                              You're going to be trying to sell this stuff to people who have grown up online with pop up after pop up and scam after scam.

I simply said that the abundance of review sites are only going to decrease the effectiveness of the traffic.

He was shitting in a few random threads I had started/participated in with garbage like "oh, I have a life!" "oh my god, I'm so cool," etc ... when people whip out shit like that unprompted, it's clearly the guilt they're feeling for being tools, and they're afraid they'll get called on it. They preemptively try to bat away things like that.

Before you say that it can not be done I will tell you that this is possible - we made someting similar for another project.

I could't agree with you more. I think exactly like tgps people are going to find the quickest way to cut corners and start pumping out crap that lacks quality. Its all about original text that is consistent and I can't see many people making a profit on a page that that needs new in depth material often without being able to invest the right amount of time/money.

Sure, give it a while and any bandwagon will get loaded down with new webmasters too, but they are rarely the ones who have a lot of impact.

                                                                                                                                                                                              Which points to the flaw in most of what you have written in this thread. Traffic generating business models are not of themselves intrinsically good or bad, guaranteed to produce high conversions, low conversions, good retention or poor retention. There likely is some difference between a site trumpeting the word "free" and another which requires surfers to read text, but when the first handful of sites of a certain type appear, their traffic is relatively fresh. The biggest impact on traffic quality is once hundreds/thousands of sites are all pushing for visibility and most will inevitably be forced to circulate washed out traffic.
