how many tour pages will a "surfer" browse before purchasing???
 

How many tour pages until the plastic comes out?

How many trailers will they watch?


and the bonus question:

How many days in a row/week will they visit a site before they purchase?

they will likely visit as many tour pages as are available in many cases

There is no hard number for this. It depends on quality and uniqueness, if your content is appealing to surfer 3-5 tour pages and 4-5 videos are enough to get plastic out.

some sites have 20+ tour pages...I wonder how many a paying customer browses vs. a freeloader...

According to my stats on my site www.justsybians.com Webmaster area for now. which has one warning page, six tour pages, the join page, as well as the 2257 page.

Stat breakdown (rounded off) shows:
85% go through whole tour.
10% go from warning to first page to join.
5% hop around. Meaning they visit first page of tour look at join, go back to tour watch samples, go back to join, check more videos, then join.

Oddly almost 1% click the 2257 link before going back to the tour.
About 30% of the video samples are watched by the majority.

its different for every tour. It depends on what you have on the pages as really. Is it a reality type tour, or a story based tour, or blah blah blah.

depends how big the tour. If its linerer with 5 6 pages then then all...
If its spread out all over the place who knows?
