Ten.com - show me a better paysite! - GoFuckYourself.com

jawanda · 10-02-2004, 04:12 PM

Never promoted these guys, but I think I'm gonna have to start.

Wow, what a novel concept, using FLASH on a paysite!

A lot of programs are obviously worried about losing that 5% of surfers who don't have flash installed, but look how fuckin' sick this site looks!

http://ten.com

Whoever runs this site, way to go!

polish_aristocrat · 10-02-2004, 04:14 PM

I've seen better looking sites posted on GFY few months ago...

Giorgio_Xo · 10-02-2004, 04:14 PM

You must not have been around long. Flash is a bandwidth hog. I have seen plenty of Flash tours... most have failed.

are you kidding me?

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 10-02-2004, 04:17 PM

On DSL it took longer than 15 sconds to play back.
There is a broken image on the thumb dated 9/23 and 9/24.The Tour pops a window.
Its has sound.
The tour is to soft.
The tour has to much text.

The tour is unfocused, meaning there is no target traffic to really send to it. Everyone targets now by niche so in effect this tour is detrimental to the common cause of why webmasters focus on niches.

Webmasters generate better sales while working and focusing on specific niches. Someone wake them people up at TEN they seem really out of the loop.

Basically it has all the hallmarks that do not generate sales.

Yup and the CD + "Hey fuckers" letter.

XPays · 10-02-2004, 04:21 PM

designing for netscape 0.00001 went out of style years ago- look at gmail - you are required to meet their requirements. designing for broadband or modern browsers is not overall a bad idea imho.

p.s. ten content gets gobbled up in our http://HotelHeiress.com members area

AHhahaha!

Lets see umm Post Bot for Rick Latona...
Ya wanna set off board alarms for page views?

OK.

PostBot is a non living program initiating posts with a simple script.
Numerous people have used them its a proven fact.
You can ask Smokythebear, Lensman, Sleazydream, AMP, AaronM, Juicy, Mr Izz, Jason at Porndollar, and many other people that have had to deal with idiots utilizing POSTBOTS just to get attention.

I have never required such a thing.

So of course you are unable to discern the difference!
Then perhaps you should read more of me, take my word and opinions and...

A: Shove it so deep up your ass your eyes bulge like a huge cock punctured your rectem and ignore it.

B: Take it for what is and evaluate what I might have to say in consideration's for any of your future business.

Just because they were stupid enough to buy traffic from you, now ya wanna parade around like its the greatest tour the internet has to date?

You poor thing...

Sorry, its a tour dude, in a world where there is no such thing as "THE GREATEST TOUR".

Show me a tour with Jesus comming from the sky and what I goto do to enter Heaven then perhaps that might be a great tour but once again in that analogy do you really think the tour to heaven would really make a difference in sales?

Prolly not.

Content, content content...

Does it really work?

Over 75% of our revenue from the Internet Group continues to be generated from monthly memberships to TEN.com. However, we have seen this revenue erode over the past several years since the traffic volume to TEN.com has not generated enough new monthly sign-ups to offset the cancellations in our membership base. The decline in membership revenue has slowed over the past several quarters as new marketing efforts have increased traffic to TEN.com, generating monthly sign-ups that are close to or slightly exceeding our monthly cancellation rate. We will continue to focus on ways to generate profitable traffic during the 2005 fiscal year in order to reverse the decline in membership revenue from TEN.com.

Tipsy · 10-02-2004, 06:42 PM

Sorry but putting on my surfer hat to try and be objective I simply found it boring and annoying especially the shit music.

Why do so many people think surfers with their dicks in their hands looking for porn will orgasm over 'innovative' flash programming? Personally I've only generally seen geeky WM types get excited by it until they look at the conversion stats *shrug*

The Heron · 10-02-2004, 07:19 PM

Sound on a tour = not good idea.

IntenseCash · 10-02-2004, 07:49 PM

We have had a flash tour on two of our gay sites that have done really well. I think as long as you give surfers a choice between html and flash tours it is ok.

they sent me a nifty dogtag necklace in the mail recently i thought that was cool

although i never could figure out how to get in the little alum. disk?

jacobt · 10-02-2004, 08:58 PM

i don't know why they used flash for the entire site - the menus and news content would be much faster to load if they were in html/css.

Arousal Design · 10-02-2004, 09:11 PM

Folks, lets face it. If a person has a computer that can't load flash, they PROBABLY aren't going to be buying porn from you anyways.

As far as size issues, a good flash designer/programmer can keep their sites fairly small, maybe even smaller than regular HTML sites.

I always thought flash integration of sites should be more widespread than it is, and as the years go by it will be for obvious reasons.

I like hybrid sites, I think they could work best.

wow, nice post man

cafeaulait · 10-03-2004, 06:21 AM

Whether the site converts or not, that's one of the worst webmaster programs I've ever seen!

- $30 payout on $74.95 3-month join
(That's Only 40% non-recurring!)

- $20 payout on $29.95 join
(That's only 66% non-recurring!)

- $6 payout on $9.95 PPV or day-pass purchase
(I couldn't even find this signup option on the site anywhere)

- Plus there's a ton of traffic leaks in the tour going to pill sites and braincash paysites which it doesn't look like you get paid for.

- Didn't see any pop-ups (SP2) but I bet thet take those signups as well!

Gimme five mins and I'll have all my links switched over to your program.......Not
