It's really too early to tell, but with our test traffic both sites did fairly well and HouseWifeBangers especially stood out. ~Alli

Loads fast, shows you the goods, gets you the trailers, doesn't put you into an epileptic seisure from all the nonesense background text that some sites have... both look good to me.

Here is how I see it . . . we trust Topbucks with alot of our traffic - they release new sites we immediatley throw up links. You cannot second guess a company like Topbucks . . . they know their market way too well to put out bad sites!
Just some fast numbers for ya . . . the milf site is at 1:325 and the swallowing site is at 1:475 for us . . . the proof is in the pudding! Way to go on the new launches Alli . . . see ya in pheonix girlie

First one looks undone, but then again, surfers aren't looking at designs, they are looking at content. The popularity of some really shitty amateur sites will support this fact.

I dont see the housewife site as a milf site. Its more of a couples/voyeur site. Age range on the girls seems to be mixed. |

To the great observer Nardimus
Friend,
Ordinarily I don't post here, mostly because I am busy designing sites...editing video, and managing our team of 8 designers...BUT since i designed the housewife bangers site personally (and it may not be my most flashy design) i feel rather intrigued by your post. I am a graduate of Boston University School for the Arts, and have been designing sites, promotional material, and anything else TB related for umm well over 8 years now. I have been the art director at TB for 5 of those years so have designed alot of sites here (since we were topcash all through your perceived decline in visual quality). Now i am going to offer you some simple advice on doling out critisism. As designers we really like it when someone qualified rips our designs apart...someone who offers examples to credit their observations. you offer nothing but unqualified rather mundane opinion? Recently we have gone to a very simple look, because we study our stats and we respond to what converts for our webmasters. We have even started updating older sites (so in a few weeks i would suggest checking out some of our older excellent sites), working with in house and outside freelancers to get a good variety of styles, as we recognize designers all have their own induvidual strengths. Anyway I just wanted to respond to your post, and was wondering if you actually had any real dialog in mind or were just looking at some boring way to attack TopBucks. feel free to respond directly or indirectly with positive suggestions to improve our sites, based on coherent research! And seriously you shouldn't be butthurt if we don't immediately act on your advice, we get alot of "advice" and consider that which works for us. Anyway i suggest you try some of our sites and see how they convert... Time to finish my coffee and get back to work with my 2 week old knowledge of the bevel tool. Thanks to those on this board who support us, and make money with our sites, you continue to make TopBucks the best place i have ever worked. Buenos Dias,

let's see some of you tours that as you say are "equally good in your own style'...... hahahaha if that isn't a bullshit fucking response i don't know what is. Let's see what you got! The moral to this story is don't slam someone elses work unless you can do better. Second point is simple tours convert, I build all of my own tours, galleries, etc and i know what converts, you know shit or you wouldn't have spewed off at the mouth like you have so many other times including the first time you spewed off to me. ![]() |

Most "webmasters" seem to slow to understand that tours loaded with flash, corny colours & cluttered with shit are worse than simple & direct stuff...tskk tskk

I think Jace is right... I don't like the new tours either but as long as they convert I don't care... It might have sounded a little harsh but the new tours look crappy compared to the past work. Thats a fact if you ask me...
Up to know I thought the new designs have been outsourced. Good to know this ain't the case and that there is a lot of thoughts and experience behind them. |

as a designer for many years, for some big sponsors, I have to say MOST of the time IN MY EXPERIENCE a SLICK DESIGN + SELL = successful
sometimes there is an exception to this rule where a AVERAGE DESIGN + AVERAGE TEXT = VERY SUCCESSFUL... no idea why, perhaps its the color or feel for the site the user first gets when they hit it. Keep in mind that while we trust our traffic with sponsors, at the end of the day we should know our own traffic better than ANYONE else and push a sponsor/site that does BEST for our traffic. If these new topbucks sites are not what your traffic has traditionally done best on, then don't promote them. There are plenty of options out there today for a cunning webmaster. You could always filter traffic through say.. pimpinpays.com and send exits/upsells to topbucks... cash in twice in some cases .. ;) Saying that, topbucks have been around forever and obviously have a lot of experience in what works. Stick with a winning formula. |
