I'm surprised at how well this is converting - GoFuckYourself.com

Donny · 07-18-2005, 12:22 PM

The conversions for this site are at 1:430 across the board from all traffic sources. I personally think it's because the site uses a very soft sell.

Jakke PNG · 07-18-2005, 12:25 PM

Mmmmm...furry muffs.

pornguy · 07-18-2005, 12:30 PM

It is a very soft sell. Is that one you are doins with SE only?

Far-L · 07-18-2005, 12:54 PM

Donovan: Your stuff continues to impress the hell out of me. I think it is working so well because it is a nice clean design and screams REAL amateur.

Good luck with it!

It does get a good amount of SE traffic. But also TGP traffic as well. Several galleries on thehun have been sending traffic to it. The Hun's traffic has been converting really well on it. Almost 300% better than when sending thehun's traffic to DonnysGirls.com.

That's the part that amazes me (the hun in particular). DonnysGirls has very acceptable results on TGP traffic. But when this site does 300% better off the same traffic? I likes it!

Thank you! A comment from you like that is very much appreciated! Homegrown is the King of Amateur.

brand0n · 07-18-2005, 01:16 PM

what the fuck is she doing with her tit? and...

Ugh...

Donny · 07-18-2005, 01:42 PM

Brandon, I respect your personal opinions. I personally don't like big boobs. But I find this interesting: the girl you said "ugh" to has made me a LOT of sales and is highly requested by my members.

Interesting to me. I particularly think "ugh" too. Her name is Keri.

The top girl, Brandie, is pulling on her tit. LOL. Not really much more to say about that.

what a lot of webmasters still don't get is that many guys want to see a girl they have a chance of getting in real life, not some girl that will only talk to them if they have a lambo in the driveway

I'm glad they don't catch on. Better for me.

I think the general webmaster population is very jaded about girls compared to the average surfer population...
I've gotten some rude as hell comments on my pics here, and when I had a site, I didn't get a whole lot of traffic, but what I did was pulling 1/21 and shit, so it's all in how you present it, and who your target market is.

Steve · 07-18-2005, 03:18 PM

some people think amateur models mean pornstars without makeup on

nice stuff Donny - even though that blog might actually be too slick looking for the niche, but what the hell, you say it is rocking, so rock on

brand0n · 07-18-2005, 03:34 PM

valid points, maybe ill have to give something like that a try.

congrads on the great conversions btw

exactly correct.

average girls nicely photographed convert as well (or better) than pornstars.

Dameian · 07-18-2005, 04:27 PM

For some odd reason, I am not surprised at all.

WarChild · 07-18-2005, 04:29 PM

I'm not surprised. It looks like a pretty good site to me.

Donny · 07-18-2005, 04:30 PM

I sent out an email to affiliates about this earlier today. They can promote this site if they'd like. They just have to accept the traffic leaks on the "top referrers" and "recent referrers" section of the blog. Personally, I think a person will sign up if they see something they like. They'll leave if they don't. A handful of "leaks" shouldn't be a problem.

The ratios I'm seeing seem to prove that.

I think my surprise shows my ignorance of "free sites". This is my first "free" site. I thought the ratios would be lower. I'd have done it a long time ago...

Well I'm fairly certain the average is probably higher for free sites in general, but like I said, this one looks pretty good to me.

Now put one up with no nudity and continue to be amazed.

People who think that non nudity is always hands down better than nude just continue to amaze me. What if the majority of his traffic was from hardcore sources? Do you honest think non nude would convert that kind of traffic better?

Mack · 07-18-2005, 04:43 PM

To almost Echo Far-L you have nailed the Raw Amateur look with these girls.
Damn good work Donny!

As for people who don't get the amateur niche. They don't and probably never will. But there is a niche for everyone. I can see how this does well on Hun traffic. No disrespect, but girls that are non stereotypical and niches that are different seem to do really well there.

I am very happy for you Donny, I see much success in your future.
