Age warning page..

[justFred]

I installed clicktale on my age warning page, and after a few recordings, I've noticed that the mouse goes from where ever it started, floats a little but, and hits the close window button.

So basically, my age warning page is bouncing a lot of people out of my site before they even view the TGP.

This is because (admittedly, entirely my fault) I made http://sexyoptions.com/index.html the age warning page and http://sexyoptions.com/TGP.php the actual TGP.

all of my inbound links are pointing at TGP.php, but a few of the refferers (blind links) send to just sexyoptions.com.

My questions are:

• Am I required by law to have an age warning page?
• If I don't need a warning page, how should I go about making sexyoptions.com resolve to the TGP?
• If I change the TGP to the index.php page, how do I deal with the links coming in that point to the alternate URL, in terms of SEO purposes?

most sites have droped the warning page.
I personally think it is wrong and that could be a major factor on porn legislation, mainly with all the " kid-typo " sites around.

I kept my warning pages on my 3 sites.

[justFred]

have your sites' bounce rates been significantly affected?

because so far, 100% of the users recored on my warning page have closed the window.

Fred?

I don't know about dropping the Warning Page altogether, if a thousand and one men jumped off a bridge, would you follow?

The idea is, it depends on what country you are from. If you are from the U.S. I would say it is a good idea to keep the warning page. The index page is required by a lot of linklist owners and a lot of partners you may wish to exchange links with.

I think on the index page that is most important, though, is the fact that there shall not be any revealing nudity, engagement in sexual acts and all the other usual taboo stuff.

Tits, asses, panties etc., are okay so long as there are no frontals of an open pussy, as far as I know.

This is one of those things you have to decide on for yourself. If from the U.S., I don't think you would want twenty U.S. Marshals standing in your house confuscating everything you own, because you wouldn't devote one inch of your webpage to a warning.

There are other things you can do also, to spice up the warning page, like add more links or textual statements to boost your SE ratings - jsut a thought.

What's so important to have a warning page? If the kid is smart enough to go to that page, well he's not going to click No, I'm not 18 years old... he'll enter the site anyway. Probably is best to go and label your site with icra and let the parenting software do the job.

hey thanks Nick, I appreciate the input. I think I will actually leave it and just spice it up and give it a nudge for SEO, and if that still is a bust, I'll drop it then, but for now I'd rather keep myself protected.

I would actually replace the warning page with a terms and conditions page that your visitors have to click a box to accept and then hit enter.

It might hurt traffic but its better than a warning page - from a legal standpoint.

My thoughts exactly

What's so important to have a warning page? If the k1d is smart enough to go to that page, well he's not going to click No, I'm not 18 years old... he'll enter the site anyway. Probably is best to go and label your site with icra and let the parenting software do the job.

But I guess by law it is required. So are several other points I brought up, like no sexual engagements, pussy frontals, etc.

As far as parenting software goes, k1ds are smart and they get around that too. As a parent myself, I monitor my k1ds - I never sleep on the idea that sites like mine are out there and they can, if they want get into them.

My oldest at home with me is 14 soon to be 15, well if he decides he is going to go on and I am not home, I have to face the fact, that he'll do it and there is probably nothing I can do to prevent it - when the time comes and I am sure it will, I'll just have to help him understand it all.

As a parent I understand the laws and why they are there. As an adult male and not an easy pushover, I also know how people are more than willing to take advantage of anyone, nothing personal - that's just the way people are and given the chance they will take ya for all ya got - for k1ds they'll do it everytime.

So for now, we have to do what we can in an attempt to keep an underage participant from enjoining themselves of our services.

not only did I keep the warning page, but I added an RTA meta tag and an RTA label as well.

But I did reduce the size of the text of the warning page. Now it doesn't look so scary and binding, like it did before. Hoping it doesn't bounce so much.

One other thing is I dropped myself from the frenchcum traffic pool and my bounce rate went down 35%

That thing is rediculious, I'd never sign up for that. Also.. worst mistake I ever made in this biz was starting out new free sites with those doorway/warning pages. I still kick myself in the ass every day for doing that.

keeps the structure of your site the same and serves its purpose from a legal standpoint.

thanks tomek, would you happen to have an example of a good implementation? (a link)
