sandman! · 08-17-2005, 08:03 PM

How do you see it as 'pandering to surfers'?

lchaim · 08-17-2005, 08:07 PM

it's called marketing

think it through

I'm just a sexy gurllll, I give 100s of webmasters pics of myself with my url on it, so they can inturn post it on their 100s and 100s of sites saying how cool they are

= exposure and hits = money

are you familiar with the scene from King Pin where Bill Murray asks Woody if he'd like more 'supple-mental in-come' 'more money'

CDSmith · 08-17-2005, 08:08 PM

Good point. From this point forward they will no longer be referred to as "Fan signs"

Everyone will now refer to them as "Feed the ego signs"

That is all.

:D

I am not sure about that analysis. For me the fan sign is all about new traffic. I get the sign with the model holding my url and I blast it out to every yahoo group, P2P network, etc.. The idea is that some guy is searching for the 'model' finds the pic and when he sees my url he comes and checks it out

I offer a good enough product that if I get him there he stays and comes back. If he joins the 'models' site great (although unlikely) but once he is on the site I have the chance to sell him alot of stuff.

That is my 2 cents. Think it has any logic to it?

your just proving the point that fan signs are useless for paysite owners.

Do what you want with them, wft do I care?

If you refuse to admit that part of the fan sign concept isn't for feeding egos you're only fooling yourself. Nothing wrong with it, I'm just pointing it out is all.

It's what I do.

you feeling a little inept? wtf do you care so much is what I wonder

fuzebox · 08-17-2005, 08:29 PM

I've photoshopped my URL on other people's fansign pics after missing the deadline to get mine in. That seems easier, I think I'll just do that every time.

Ah yes. I did not realize that were your point. I agree with it. They are good for affs but of questionable value to sponsors.

Doesn't do anything for my ego... it does however help brand my site's name to my surfers

Geez, with a booty like that I might have to join wildeva.

Do you realize that you do not have a link back to your homepage from your fansign page? I surfed through them and was curious to look at your homepage. When I couldn't get there I was too lazy to type in the url and said 'fuck it' and closed the window.
