Hi there all. I posted this within another message, but really need to find out your opinion, so here goes. We have some sites that we manage that are pay sites. We have been toying with the idea of adding free content to them, but I'm not convinced that a) any one actually uses the stuff cause it is so overused b) if there is content it needs to be fresh every 2 weeks or so and c) It should only be given out to sites that are bringing in sales already.

I need your input as to weather this is a hard nosed approach to it, I know that many are just getting started and the free stuff is what they get going with, but I also know that you can see it all over the place and it gets overused quickly. Maybe a two tiered approach would work, say 5 new pics a week to those starting out, and 50 new ones for those with sales ??? Please comment, and help me out

Thanks for your input.

Sounds like randall but they don't count proxy hits so to advance you'd have to be subbing just their stuff to ever make a count or working 40 hour days. lol

But if its already old content, it sounds like 5:50 is abit uneven. Newbies wouldn't stand a chance.

Gemini =

It's not old, this would all be totally fresh, not seen on any other sites. What would be a good ratio for the pics 5/50 ?? I want to make sure that this stuff isn't plastered everywhere and gets so over used that it doesn't do the webmasters that are really promoting and making the sales any good. I know, I'm being a hard ass, but I have to watch out for the interests of my clients here. Thanks for your input.

Sorry the eyes are shot for the night! New glasses later today tho! Umm maybe more like 10:20 would be more fair. Have to give the newbie enough pics for a gal to get posted eh?

And limit the gal makers to 10 on their pages! We have some niche sites doing that to us and that would help force down the galleries with 50-100 pics on them too.

If the providers keep allowing tons to go on one page, they are making less too in the long run. Its like lots of ppl are thinking in the boards. Keep handing it out by the truckloads for free, then they will never sign up.

Blowing up egroups, and all of them is a thought too.

Sheesh they have pics as fast as they are released and the whole shoots get posted within 24 hours of being put up on a site! (sorry we have watched those places for well over 2 years) The hubby saw that Petra girl and was looking hard at the one pic, took me 15 mins to find her whole new shoot in another group.

Hard *ss is ok but remember to give only enough to either group to 1) make a whole page and hold back the extra 30 from the better ones so they have to get it subbed to more than just the hun to payout. 10:50 would jerk off some of the newbies that might go far!

Just stray thoughts after 22 hrs awake.
