$1,000 worth of content being given away
 

I have decided to come up with competition with real prizes.

1st Place Prize = $500 worth of free content.
2nd Place Prize = $300 worth of free content
3rd & 4th place = $100 worth of free content each.

All you have to do is list our 5 top selling sets/videos in order of sales.
The best set/video at number one the 5th best selling set/video at number 5.

In the event of no one getting all 5 right it will got to the first with the top four, three, two or one. In the case of no one getting the top selling set/video it will be the ones closest to the right answer.

So take a look at the content and make your best guesses at our top selling sets.

You can access the site with a login/password authorised for the competition. This login/password is just to view the sets. Anyone who decides they cannot wait to get some of our great sets or videos will have to login and get their own login and password.

Login; competition
Password; competition

The closing date is November 22nd and the top selling sets will be determined by the database on that date. I will be at the London show and if I can get some one to loan me a computer I will announce the winner from there, otherwise it will have to wait until I get to a computer.

The database is disabled until then so anyone who is thinking of hacking in for the answers can think again.

The winner will be the first person to get all 5 right, the second place to the second person to get the right answer and so on until the 5th place.

RULES
The rules are simple, you have to post your answers on this board by the 22nd on November. In the order starting with the top selling set and going down to the number 5 top selling set.

The prizes will be our content of the winners choice and the winners will need to sign the appropriate Non-Exclusive contract.

My decision is final.

Ok.. here's your top 5 sellers by nov.22;

1 - #6009
2 - #8341
3 - #8344
4 - #7018
5 - #1195

Spent 30 mins on this so at least three will be correct guesses.. Some great sets on there, btw. :thumbsup

Sorry man, but guessing games have the worst odds.

A contest should be based on some sense of challenge or skill, not a guess.

:winkwink:

I say the same as x3guide (could not find any rules against this in your tos :glugglug

Since I don't have a year to go threw all your shit I'll just say
1 - #6009
2 - #8341
3 - #8344
4 - #7018
5 - #1195
:)

the contest rules suck.

yeah.. If I'm going to throw away even more of my time due to GFY it should either be because I'm goofing on photos of John Travolta, or because I'm doing free banners or free galleries for some cheap bastard.


:Graucho

but here's my guess:
1 - #8341
2 - #6009
3 - #7018
4 - #8344
5 - #1195

he he he

So this is how you pick content by guessing which sets are good and which ones are not.

Just a suggestion, as it is pics and videso that people log on to look at, start trying to work out what is a hot set and what is not.

There is a skill involved in being able to tell which set will convert surfers and keep members renewing.

Why?

Charly, I like contests, and I like your content.

But for one to really think he can just guess 5 - four digit content codes is silly.

I mean, okay heres my guesses.

#4957
#8088
#6672
#1425
#9094

I just typed em out without looking at your site.

I have just as much of a chance as the guy staring at your content.

The other contests I think are silly are the guess my models age, its based on total guesing, and is pretty silly if you think about it bro.

Good luck with the contest, I just think theres better ways.

;)

i dont know where to search for these numbers ?

Sorry Fletch, but you are wrong. There are two ways to narrow down the proces so it's not guess work. Think about it.

One is there are perhaps on the whole site out of 700+, 30-40 sets/videos which are real winners. The ability to pick which ones will effect your income. Because no matter how much traffic you drive or how ell you design, if the guy picking the content can not recognise a "Jerk off" set/video he's going to make hard work of the porno business.

There is another way and I will not be telling anyone. But let's see who's the clever guy that gets it. $50 free content to the guy that comes up with it first.

Dark Jedi,
You click on my banner below, go to my site and the set number is by the picture.:thumbsup

Its truly funny how many times I have been told this.

Looking at a group of pics on a page with numbers by them and 'picking out the cool ones'

is guessing.

:winkwink:

Charly I think it's a kool contest :thumbsup

My choices are :

1.#8301
2.#8225
3.#8303
4.#8359
5.#8514

There's no harm in playin' :)

Personaly I dont have time to play games like this. But I'm sure alot of the people lurking around here do :winkwink: If I where to make some guesses I will think that his most selling sets are in the niches that are most saturated. Hardcore, Teens, amateurs. I don't think any of the videos are top 5 sales for all sets on his site.

Forgot to say this prize will be given away at the end of the competition.

and when does the competition end ?

#1165
#1174
#0774
#7030
#7035

Personal taste aside, those I think are the what I'd like to see if I was in a paysite.

Probably way off but worth a shot.

coat tail disagreeing, one of the best forms of BBS flattery.

:thumbsup

Can none of you guys work out the easy way to solve this?

ah shit....instead of spending that grand with you last week, I should of just waited for this comp!:winkwink:

well, when you click on "new sets" or "all content" the first 5 sets you see are:

:: set no. 0836 ::
:: set no. 1194 ::
:: set no. 1200 ::
:: set no. 1201 ::
:: set no. 1200 ::

Makes sense to me that since these sets get the most, eposure, they will probably sell the best.

Well just think about it, instead of spending $1k with me next month you could win it and only need to spend $500. :1orglaugh

I was ICQed about the rules. So lets just explain.

If no on gets the right combination the winners will be the one who picks the 5 highest selling sets/videos, so the total number of times those sets/vidoes have sold.

Rictor you are thinking, but on the wrong track.
These are the most recent sets/videos to be put up, so will not be the hightest sellers. They have not been there long enough. In fact they are the least selling sets. The sets buyers who want sets with the least exposure should be going for.

The oldest sets have been there the longest and since there was not a lot of choice because they where the first that should be the highest sellers.

Much better logic, but there is an easier way to narrow down the field. It needs some lateral thinking.

Id guess the higher the price / image, would be your more popular sets....

LONDON SHOW? when any info on this?

The London Erotica festival. Cant find the URL at the moment, give me a minute though. Or someone else help him out.

This is the show, http://www.erotica-uk.com/Site/

I will be on the ?????? stand, drinking their booze, on Friday the 22nd. I will try to access a computer and annonce the winner of the competition. Who by the way we are going is going to be way off the mark, but the closest wins.

Failing my getting to a computer I will get Eva to announce the winner.

But if some of you guys were to stop and think for a second you could be richer in content.

Like someones going to hack into a database for $500 worth of russian hooker content :1orglaugh

Like the girls I get onto the front cover of Barely Legal. No now why would a teen site want to get that stuff. And they are not Russian hookers they are Czech. :1orglaugh

i cant get to to your site.

Sorry the site is down, yet again, it will be fixed and soon I hope.

It's up now.

So just to update you.

Two of the guys on this board are running at second and fourth place so they are in line for $300 & $100 worth of free content.

But no one has picked our top selling set.

I am still amazed that some one here has not figured out the easy way to do this. When I set it up I thought all you clever guys would work it out. You do not even need to know anything about what is a hot shot, just think about it.

Easy contest ;)

I will be announcing the winners in the morning.

Sorry about not being able to do it Friday as I promised, I lost the piece of paper I wrote it down on, should have put it in my laptop.

So here are the results of the competition I set two weeks back.

Sorry for the delay but with the moving of the office, me having to go to London and everything else it has been a busy week.

1 T- RAV wins $500 Some other board!!
2 ControlThy wins $300 GFY
3 Keyser Soze wins $100 GFY
4 BMK wins $100 Some other board!!

The sad thing was that no one got any of my top 10 selling sets. Which is sad because the surfer logs on to see hot content.

Maybe I should give some pointers to you guys, to help you spot the good sets.

ControlThy and Keyser Soze contact me by email so I can tell you how to get your free content (paul_eva at paulmarkham.com)

The guys at yet another board got nothing :(

Oh wise one, please share with us thy wisdom of the selecting of the smutty photos!

I made a big mistake and therefore will have to pay for it.

Venom was the overall winner he came way ahead of everyone else.

Here are the revised figures.

1 Venom wins $500 worth of free content.
1 T- RAV wins $500 worth of free content
2 ControlThy wins $300 worth of free content
3 Keyser Soze wins $100 worth of free content
4 BMK wins $100 worth of free content


What surprised me was no one looked at my banner and thought, "I wonder if he's put the best sets here and maybe the pictures he keeps posting up are good ones" A lesson to be learnt here I think.

OK then these are a general rules and not laws.

Photography is technical pornography is physiological.

When looking at a picture don?t only ask "Would I fuck her?" Firstly ask, "Would she fuck me". Look into the girl?s eyes and try to imagine what she is waiting for, A bus home, her money or sex? If you do not be assured a lot of surfer do.

Look at the girl, is she attractive with a good figure. Then look at the spread of poses, has the shooter covered most of the poses and angles, is there a variety of poses? This is what most of the new shooters miss, you can sometimes break a set of 100 pictures down to 25 pictures and the rest just repeats.

Then the setting, is it modern or dated, does it fit the set, does it fir the model? Is the clothing right for the style? A "Penthouse " set will cost $100 minimum for the underwear, teens do not always wear lacy thongs (in the mind of the surfer).

However if you have an absolutely stunning girl like this one all the rules go out the window. Though shoot this kind of girl using the above rules ensures a profit.

Who cares??

I know looking at content is a pain, but the surfer did not log on to jerk off to your design work or gets turned on by being ?traffic". He is going to be critical of the content, so take the time, it will be a god investment.

Booooing! Holy pant-elastic! She's yummy.

Anyway - ICQ is on - you said you wanted to talk to me, mate?

Thanks for the tips :) I'm never ashamed to learn something.

BUMP

I'm going home, and then to the pictures. So will organise it tomorrow.
