anyone use mid-pages on galleries?
 

the surfer clicks the link to your sponsor, but instead goes to a page you setup inbetween the gallery and the sponsor.

your page may have an HPA to the sponsor, maybe some directions of how to signup, or some links at bottom like "no thanks" or whatever

i know some people use this method in order to avoid sending hits directly to a sponsor that has popups all over it.


Is it recomended? or does it seriously affect sales?

:helpme

it tends to filter the traffic a bit better and make for better ratio's

i didnt. but i am now, thanks! :thumbsup

:ak47:

that's a waist of time I can tell you. I've even been sending traffic to my tgp from galleries..thought it whould be a big blow up of my tgp..yeah right. The stupiest thing I ever done!

:1orglaugh

not exactly the same thing though.

you are sending to a page with links to other galleries, skimed to trades.

a mid-page would send directly to the sponsor, with a few other links on there incase they lost interest in the sponsor.

also usefull if you want to switch sponsors without editing your galleries and risking the blacklist

its just another way to loose surfers, to put doubt in their mind, to give them more options to escape.

yep thats what i was thinking, but i see so many big guys using this method, was wondering if it had secret benefits, lol

thanks shemp

very true!,

btw, did you know that having the same text size on your sponsor links confuse the surfer so they don't know where they want to click :)

why not try it and see if it works for you, thats what its about isnt it?

Trial & error, with your surfers your ads and your sponsors

:2 cents:

If the page is mine and all the links are mine, I dont care if they "escape" somewhere else that makes them horny.

Anyway, dont use these middle pages, send your traffic directly to sponsors and dont control what happens to it.
