surfers: sheep or geeks?
 

well since the days of 1:20 conversions are out the window do you believe surfers are still as gullible as the early days are are they now more experienced with porn and a lot more picky?

Surfers are getting smarter, IMO. Of course there will be the select handfuls that still grope their way around the Internet like they're in the dark.

Reality sites convert, and so most of them are gullible. :winkwink:

jaded. yes. horribly.

If sponsors would stop allowing every cocksmack newb to sign up to their programs, it wouldnt be so bad.

Remember how good Ox was when they only let limited webmasters in? Remember what happened after they opened it up to every retard on a freehost? Straight in the fucking shitter.

If you dont allow the newbs to sign up and promote shit, esp the good sites, this wouldnt be as much of a problem. They wont give it away free if they arent gonna make any money off of it.

newbs. I want to kill you all with my bare hands.

i would tend to agree. With I believe the average of US surfers are online an average of 17 hours a month on the net I believe that they get on with the notion of they know what they want or that SE traffic and bookmarks still rule all. Getting in front of them first and also having a clean and conceise site and telling the surfer exactly what he or she will get when signining up for your site also helps

I agree with you wholeheartedly.The army of undead noobs come in with the preconcieved notion of hardly working and thinking galleries with 40 or so pics will entice the surfer to signup and living on 2 or 4 sales a pay period is making good money. I have seen many noobs pretending they are 'webmasters' and only sign up with sponsors for the free content and pass them around to their friends

Newbs on freehosts may contribute on making the web a dump...

However, as far as them promoting individual programs, with your banners or hosted galleries... more exposure never kill any business (or at least after the make major $$$)

I can see newbs on freehosts however, stealing your content and making free sites out of it....

dont forget about the ones who host porn on aol homepages

Surfers are pontential customers...
Keep that in mind and you can't go wrong. They are not sheep or geeks...they are your customers.
