Really Useful Cash Removes Bitcoin For Lack of Value
 
Interesting stats... :2 cents:

http://business.avn.com/company-news...ue-550322.html

Quote:

"Our average sales ratio on casting.xxx went from 1:758 to 1:1720 during the 7 days that Bitcoin was live on our join forms and the cryptocurrency did not generate a single sale," explained RUC's JT. "We tried testing it for 24 hours on another site in our network, PublicAgent.com, with similar results, removed it and saw our ratios improve without it again. Maybe it's because 98 percent of the world have a negative view of Bitcoin through what's been written in the media, and they temporarily lost confidence in my site when they saw Bitcoin. We take consumer trust very seriously and see Bitcoin as something that was diluting the value of our brands."

We have just launched our 17th website and now have an active member database of more than 23,000 paying members," added JT. "The initial phase of the affiliate program rollout included the launch of more than a dozen top quality exclusive video sites. Now we are extending our competitive advantage by securing premier tube domains for our internal marketing, creating quality tours and having our sites WebsiteSecure.org certified. I believe the key factor in our growth thus far, and in our continued growth moving forward, is our ability to give people what they already want?and it appears they do not want to use Bitcoin, or even to see an offer to accept Bitcoin."

Interesting indeed.

I still don't understand paysites accepting BTC. The value fluctuates way too much, unless the paysite has someone that knows how to invest/exchange those BTCs before losing money when the market falls...

Hope none of the paysites accepting BTC had theirs in MtGox.. :Oh crap

Most are using Bitpay or Coinbase etc and immediately cashing the value from what I have seen... :2 cents:

Two very different business models... and thinking of them that way seems to be where the real lesson of all this may reside. Works well with one and not the other... ?

Taking bitcoin may attract more traffic to your site because of the novelty or "loyalty" from bitcoin owners. Actually joining? Anyone into bitcoins knows where good free porn and probably your sites stolen content can be viewed for free.

Perhaps however isn't most of JTs traffic from tubes?

You would have to ask him that... but there are obvious differences in price points and traffic pathing to point of sale etc...

The fact that they removed Bitcoin for lack of value, but kept WebsiteSecure.org Certification live on all sites does seem to make an important point about the service we offer. Anyone who wants a demonstration of how www.WebsiteSecure.org can make you money on new or existing traffic should definitely contact me.

TheSquealer 02-26-2014 02:21 PM

I would guess that most people seeing that would then be tempted to leave the site, see what bitcoins are, try to calculate values etc etc etc and end up back on Facebook posting kitten pictures before they realized what happened.

The first one that makes people think in the sales flow, loses.

SmutHammer 02-26-2014 02:22 PM

Sounds about right.

Wizzo 02-26-2014 02:24 PM

I think the average joe surfer doesn't know or understand bitcoins so I could see that making them uncertain. It doesn't take much to make surfer leery of joinform these days.

this. Too many options leads to confusion, not decision.


3 payment options tops.

I would think putting a small link to *alternative payments* may not hurt. I can see a big gold bit coin next to the process as a deterrent though. Even describe the thing, tell them it is new and since recognized form of payment, they are trying it out. Anyone who can pay with a bitcoin can certainly find the small link to that page.

Now that 1:758 should be around 1:350 and he will be rocking! Tube traffic really does convert well... it just takes a zillion people to get those thousands onto your site... lol

SplatterMaster 02-26-2014 02:39 PM

Bitcoins are associated with illegal goods. If your site accepts BC it must not be legit.

Coup 02-26-2014 02:45 PM

Buying anything legal with bitcoin is fucking retarded.

This is a tough one for me. Completely agreed that your typical Bitcoin-owner is net-savvy, but he's also interested in showing that Bitcoin is a viable currency, and might be happy to buy porn with it.

I'm not sure, it seems the payment options aren't revealed until the join page. + it doesn't account for the conversions being cut in 1/2.

Sure. But it doesn't really matter what you *think*. JT tested it, it massively failed.

Finally some real stats about bitcoin sales from an adult site.

I will back this up 100% - After A/B testing simply with and without = Very good to have on the join pages. :thumbsup

The mirror talking to you again? My thoughts and successes will not make your failures any less of a hardship.

And I don't know how he displayed the join process, I am assuming it was likely with the use of a bitcoin image and some text, smack on the first step of join process. So therefore, he likely did not test what I mentioned and therefore, it would be a good idea for you to shut your pie hole :thumbsup

Publicity mostly. If somebody really expected real number of sales from btc users they were not too smart in the first place :)

And if some program got some bitcoin sales it does not mean all of them were extra sales because many of those joining members would have joined even without btc option. They just happened to have btc and said "oh I can join with btc as well, cool".

An this also adds to the whole picture:

Interesting. Do most people study join options that much? I think most of them are used to join by CC and they do not "study" the list that closely, they pick number 1 option - CC.

Your success at having public drug/booze induced meltdowns and being banned from every adult site?

Yeah, you totally beat me at that!

JT is really successful, and wipes his arse on what you snort/jack up/drink.

I wouldn't assume anything, as we all know, when you assume something, it shows you are a massive drug/booze addled, forum banned fuck up, kid.

I assume conversions were cut in half because they had huge influx of "bitcoin fanbase" traffic.

It can not go down to half just because half of the people decided not to join just because there was btc option in the list :1orglaugh

No, but people do study customer buying habits, it's well established that giving customers too many choices leads to indecision.

How would those surfers know btc was being accepted until they got to the site, then clicked through to the payment page? Was it advertised on the tube they clicked through from? Doubtful.

I am talking about bitcoin fan traffic when btc fans post on reddit or everywhere that "check this site out, it accept btc" and stuff like that.

What I mean that adding BTC as an option can not cut sales in half :1orglaugh

Like when you have 100,000 hits a day and 100 sales a day, then add btc as an option and have same 100,000 hist a day and 50 sales a day. That is impossible, even stupid to think about that. For this to happen you need more than 50% ready to join by CC people change their mind just because they saw btc option, taht thinking would be just insane :1orglaugh

More likely scenario is that you have 100,000 hist a day and 100 sales a day and after btc addtion you get 200,000 hist a day and same 100 sales. And that makes your ratio drop because of useless extra traffic.
This is more likely scenario, not the one above.

So let's not confuse people into thinking that having btc options damages sales. It more likely just increase garbage traffic that leads to decreased ration.

If it damaged sales every other program would have removed BTC already, but they did not.

Because adding BTC option could not scare half (and even more than half because not all of them study list of joining options, most of them just click CC) of your ready to join customers.:1orglaugh Common sense. Plus if it did every other program that started accepting BTC would have removed them immediately.
I explained that in more detail in the post above.

But, it *has*. He's posted the data.

Are you saying JT is lying or calling him stupid? Seems that way.

The porn programmes that added it, did it for the publicity. I doubt they tested it properly, with high traffic sites as JT has.
