Both.

A big problem is the insurgence of sponsor programs designed on a budget over the last couple years.

The only thing they devote a meaningful amount of resources to is their sponsor program itself, and not their actual sites.

If they want to make money, they definitely need to do something with that stuff. Good post man.

Please correct me if I'm wrong but it seems like you have a typo on this page ('stright').

if i signed up for a milf site and saw malezia there i would be pissed off as hell to...you should at least let the surfer into the milf backend and then allow him to the other sites once hes done there..

Joining a milf site and sending me to the members area of hardcoreteenvideos cant help either, im not saying your doing this but your screencap looks like it from what you have told us here.

:2 cents:

If someone is buying into a MILF site, then they want MILF. It's the MILF they opened their wallet for, and it's other stuff you are giving them to make up for an alleged lack of content.

An example of a legit way of doing this is Nasty Dollars. You pay for one site/niche, and you get everything else. Individually the sites can in fact carry their own, but it's a nice added bonus.

The problem is that smaller programs don't use the unrelated content as a bonus. Instead it's presented as a part of what you are actually paying to see. It's filler.

I know alot of guys that do that or they signup and cancel the free membership then come back a day later and get another one.

I believe that is a result of not having enough updates. I am guilty of doing this to a site that would only have 5 updates in 3 months. Why pay $90 for 5 updates when I can just get a $4.95 trial in 3 months time?

Alot of programs don't care because they follow rules of simple math..more coming in than going out, cross sales, upsells, email spams, ect . We take pride in our member's sections and we treat each member like they were our last. We are going to be updating daily now...6-7 days a week and we go out of our way to make sure our retention remains as high as possible, regardless of what program we offer. Every one of our sites uses a CMS which makes updating much easier and more frequent..

:thumbsup

[edit: Our CMS allows us to input years of content, have updates every single day, and not have to touch the members area until more content needs to be added]

6-7 days a week is awesome. :thumbsup

Yup..same here..we can set auto-updates ahead of time and let it run...

the main factor for retention? people forgetting to cancel their memberships....

Biggest misconception and fallacy IMO..

I must say people who sign up are different from us. Some are just signing up for a new site every week, they dont want to stick with one, even if your member are would be heaven.

Man, i even see members join one of my paysites, NEVER login, and don't cancel either. I got a member rebilling for 7 months already, while he has NEVER logged in yet. I guess he died after seeing how awesome my member area is or something :Graucho


Anyway, members are odd.

if he never logged in how would he have seen the member section?

wait til Visa does away with recur billing, you'll see just how big forgetfulness is/was.......

the more i hear about stuff like this the more i know i'm on the right track

Yah, that's part of it. But I think there are also a lot of surfers that cancel their trials BEFORE they enter a site.

:thumbsup

Lets not forget to mention 50% of any links in that members area are 404? Is that your designers fault? Bottom line is it may convert off the tour but that site sucks ass. And that my friend is a fucking fraud.

We dropped those feeds..

You got to see the members in the middle of a revamp..

Run over to GFY and post it to make PornDollar look bad..


But thanks for skirting the fact that you did not mention anything about us telling members we were working on our system.

aka... the screenshot I posted...

Look.. Go run back under your rock dude..

Or.. Better yet.. start a thread asking if PornDollar makes money for webmasters..

If you don't like the members area, then be my guest and promote the Per Signup Program..

Porndollar converts excellent.

Last period I was 1 in 94.

From the looks of it you caught them right at a bad time. (in the middle of an update)

Bump..

Thanks EvilDick.

Yep.. That's front page uniques.

woot. I love the haters.

How is it fraud? Go promote some penis pills sponsors if you want to yell fraud.

It's obvious this post was made to make PD look bad, that's why you didn't post the part that PD did about being in the middle of an update. As PornDollar said, if you don't like the members area then use the PPS program and let him focus on the retention.

I bet this guy jumped on the Paris Hilton shit... the kind of person that will steal your wallet and help you find it. Class.

The above seems to be increasing..

surfers are like rats now..

trials are going to be a thing of the past real soon.

:thumbsup
