Surfers are scared of spam when signing up for porn!

Care to comment? One of my customers told me this today.. is this the norm on a porn site? Spamming the members? huh?

I'd say yes.

or perhaps ex-members would be better said.
You can spam the ex -member to sign up again, and when he isnt a member anymore, then you can also spam him with other sites, or sell your members list to another company etc.

We are fucking hypocrits. That's my comment.

Fucking surfers that whine and moan; but ALWAYS want something free.

Free Entertprise? Where???

We are marketing adult content. Some of it is hideous and some is magnificent.

As long as there are fingers to point expect the middle digit to be extended.

If people buy it, let us sell it. Many will do so anyways.

and on the 7th day god created the bp host.

on the 8th day he got all self righteous....

oy

great thread

Have a good weekend people.

You do not have to mail ex-members to pay a higher pps.

Of course, the majority of programs mail ex-members, without any type of opt in process.

Most programs appear to think that since you signup for a site and are forced to agree to terms, then that makes it legal or something, for them to email people.

It's not legal to mail your ex-members without an opt in process and following the exact mail laws, which 98% of the programs mailing ex-members don't do.


We did scare away the surfer, they have been bent over and fucked every way possible over the last 10 years, email is only part of the fucking. Hell, we are a industry that can get caught for bad shit, sued, and hammered by the Gov - but no worries, as long as those Webmaster checks keep coming - nobody will care.

Thanks for telling the Truth, and if it's not email then it's something else. Most of these scam programs live on fucking the surfers with upsells and cross sells and tons of other shitty ways to milk the cow. They only think about 1 surfer at a time. When they milked that one, then it's over to the next, never thinking long term or thinking about that milked cow they just milked.

I can go on and on but only 1 in 20 cares about ethics in the adult selling process
on this board. Yes, lots of people say "I care" but fuck - most of them are shady as shit behind the scenes. Jumping on any scumware fest if they had the opp to add 2 fiddy to their weekly checks.

Just remember that Paris Hilton Sex Tape scam huh? atleast 50% of this
board was jumping on that scam.

So, the reasons no one ever comes up with anything innovating in this industry is that it's run by half cooked bubble heads. Most smart people made their money and went out of this hell hole.

Sure there is some people that runs a tight ship, but it's not the upsell / cross sellers, and everything else sell programs that I look up to, and I never will...

I agree with that, i dont think its normal on a paysite though however there are lots of sites like myfreepaysite who allow access for your email address or a $1 and bombard you with a lot of shit.

What a great post so far. Really shows where peoples' heads are at. I really think, in the long run, surfers are way more intelligent than 1/2 this boards gives them credit for...and they're getting smarter every day, and while the shit birds will always be around, the smarter the surfer gets, the more he steers clear of the mess...which means the legit people will grow over time, and most of the shit will get flushed down the toilet.

But there will always be skid marks on the porcelain.

What myfreepaysite does is 100% legit, mailing wise. His surfers have to go through a double opt in process, through a 3rd party white listed mailing backend. From what I can tell he sends out maybe one newsletter every 1.5 months - and they clearly follow the rules.

I had a member email me about a few weeks back about a script error and they even included the fix plus several alternatives -

just because someone signs up to a site doesn't mean they are an idiot

It is not just adult, It is anything. My brother is at my house looking online for a car. He uses one of my emails to get a reply on two sites and I have over 40 spams in 2 days from 10-12 different sites. Trying to sell me cars, car insurance and anything else they can think of LOL, if a new member got 40 emails he would shit and never come back lol

I wish I had more surfers like that. If you attract lots of surfers from India or Egypt, you'll instead be getting e-mails like "woooaa" "hi" "how are you?" "i sex" "sent me porn" from them.
