FHG's + Submitted Galleries / traffic = ? - GoFuckYourself.com

xenigo · 10-24-2004, 02:59 PM

Thinking through the eyes of a surfer, all these FHG's really aren't all that great. Yeah, they probably make a few sales here and there but do the surfers REALLY come back for it? Doubtful.

So the question is, will you see a more significant amount of bookmarkers and return traffic if you have a daily routine of approving submitted gal's vs just having a huge database of FHG's that rotates daily?

Here's the site I'm going to start feeding most likely today. I just need a solid game plan.

I don't have a comment related to your specific question, however your thumbs shown right now are pretty bad, and they'll likely give you a pretty crappy productivity.

Yeah hence me wondering if I should get rid of the FHG's. There just doesn't seem a way to make really good thumbs from crappy galleries.

I don't think I'd come back to Orgypost if I were a surfer, for that reason. I'm trying to make it the best experience possible.

I don't agree with you there, you just have to know how to cut a better thumb. I've seen some pretty amazing thumbs for "crappy galleries". If you're cutting your own thumbs, go take a look at the big thumb sites and see what's listed in the top two rows, if someone else is, suggest they do the same.

What do the galleries have to do with the thumbs? As long as the content is good/decent you should be able to make some nice thumbs. The content looks fine to me.

I prefer (so my surfer probably does too) submitted galleries !

Orgypost and only nude teens? WTF? Not even 1 hardcore pic.

I'd never come back!

That's a sales tactic. Intentional. Why give away the hardcore, when they can pay for that. I offer it in several options to the surfer, via paysite sales, and VOD.

You are clueless!

If your TGP is supposed to show orgy pics and only shows Nude Teens I'd never visit it anymore. Not only that, but I doubt that if I were looking for orgies I'd signup for a nude teen site.

That simply doesn't make any sense.

Is this your first site?

No, it's not my first site. Thank you for that lame comment, moron.

Think it is a good sales tactic! If you show the surfer too
much the site you are advertising has to go "over" it.

e.g. you show facials in your tgp surfer checks the gallery
and well he does not have to visit the site you are advertising
he / she already got what she wants.

That is why I do not understand movie tgps and how they
get heir sales. Maybe the movies are very softcore or the
sites they are advertising do have much interactive stuff

(live shows etc)

Or just maybe the "free porn" theory isn't as solid as people think it is?

There's tons of extreme hardcore stuff on The Hun, yet people still can pull great sales from their listings.
