Do giveaways really work? - GoFuckYourself.com

I mean lets face it. Most of us, from what I can tell dabble in the Adult industry, and every day we promise the buyers free stuff. I mean, I just lied my ass off on a new page I made to sell Amateurs to people. But does it work?
I see it all the time, "get something for nothing", "Make women want you without moving from the couch" "free women who want to suck you off while you eat ice cream in the park". Does it really sell? or are we just marketing to a person who is going to look for the items regardless of what we tempt them with.
I understand the draw of free stuff. Hell, I look occasionally, but I don't buy. What do you people think? Does the draw of "FREE" work?

Lemme clear something up before I get my head chopped off, when I said " I lied my ass off" I meant that they really don't have "Tons" of free pictures. But they do have free pictures, so I guess I just stretched the truth...

Thanx

This brings up an interesting question...

Just when I thought I had solved all of lifes problems.

jpegs weigh roughly 4.27 pounds once you scrape away all the belly button lint.

The word free, IMHO, is a waste of time. Yes, you can draw alot of traffic with it, but unless it's really free, it's waste of good bandwidth...I had some really good listings in the past on some major SEs with keywords, like "free porn" and it did draw alot of hits, but the traffic sucked for selling to...

The free shirt deal sure seems to be working around here.

Evildick, no doubt about that one!

On ads and stuff, free works pretty good so long as it's true. I mean a 5 day free trial is still a pretty good deal in my opinion.

Free works well with me. What are you giving away?
