Asianguys.com Relaunches - 11th Anniversary Edition

[tombarr]

We have relaunched our flagship website, asianguys.com, in it's new 11th anniversary edition (although it's a few months late due to programming delays)

The latest version of the site has been constructed with the idea that the future of porn membership sites will require more than just the typical tour / members area construction. With this in mind we added features that combine features from tube sites, personals sites, traffic hubs as well as membership sites and combined them all into a gay asian porn community site. We feel this combination of features will position our site to take advantage of current trends in technology and surfer desired features, as well as provide a boost in revenue for the site and it's affiliates through the numerous premium upsells throughout the site.

We would like to ask that all affiliates link to our leak proof tour version using the following linking scheme:

link: http: //refer.ccbill.com/cgi-bin/clicks.cgi?ca=923480-0000&pa=XXXXXX&HTML=http://www.asianguys.com/tour.php

We know that many are opposed to and do not believe in tube style sites, but we hope that you will continue to support us with the latest version of our site.

If you have any comments or questions, I am available to answer or discuss them at any time.

Hi Tom,
Congrats on the new AsianGuys.

Anyway isn't it easier to set affiliate link to go to http://www.asianguys.com/tour.php in ccbill instead of affiliate using &html=?

No Hate here :)

What problems are you having with it?

The background image is smaller than my resolution. I would suggest you to use a background color too (the same of the background image).

Will do, thanks for the suggestion :)

[HunkMoneyLuke]

wow, this is a bold move on your part and I congratulate you for it too!

[basschick]

congrats on 11 years!

i wish you luck with the new tour, and i think it will do well. btw, if you could pm me a login, we'll rereview it in the new tube format.

Congratulations.

I'm just a bit confused though. What should I use for links?

I updated to use:

http://www.asianguys.com/tour.php

But it seems to redirect to http://www.asianguys.com

Is that the proper tour page or? There seems to be no difference between the two..

One other thing I noticed, on those pages with preview images from video clips, you get the impression that all of the videos are much the same. For example on the tour page they all look as if its the same model.. I'm pretty sure thats going to be bad for sales, dont you want to have individual and unique videos on the tours giving the impression that you have varied content?

Looks great Tom

mazel tov!

The http://www.asianguys.com/tour.php version of the site drops out the traffic leaks. (the right column sponsor ads ((replacing them with internal ads)), the tabs that lead to our dvd store, vod theater and cam site, as well as all sponsor videos.) The differences are there. The basic site is the same with these exceptions.

Yes, we are making adjustments to take this into consideration, plus we are uploading more daily as well as shooting more models for the site. I just did not want to launch the site without notifying everyone so that affiliates would have a chance to change their links before someone noticed it and called us out on it publicly. :) We're working on making adjustments as we go.

Hey Basschick,

The site members area is much the same as the free areas except the features are unlimited and you get access to the premium feeds as well as the private pics and videos. You can register for a free account to test out all the features at any time. :) You can also see all the features listed on our http://www.asianguys.com/whypremium.php page, making comparisons between the different membership levels.

Would this suffice for the review? It's essentially a transparant tour / members area.

[abostonboy]

Looks great Tom. I bet that Alexa will shoot up quite a bit.

[RocketJD]

Definitely a bold move! Looks good Tom, congrats! :)

[tombarr]

Yeah, it's a bold move. But back when we started there weren't many asian paysites out there. We were one of the pioneers. Back when people said there was no market for a gay asian site. Back when awards shows refused to have a gay ethnic category. It was pretty bold and frankly quite scary then and we somehow made it through all that. I thought it was time that we made a bold move again instead of just being another gay asian paysite which is what we had become. It's definately a risky move, but I believe in the product we have created. I believe it's right for the time, is positioned to capitalize on market, tech, and surfer trends, and I very much look forward to making this challenge work, just as we did back in the days of our early years.

Thanks for all the positive comments and suggestions.

Nice work Tom, you beat us to it lol (we're also working on a gay Asian tube/community site)! We look forward to seeing how this converts. I am sure your traffic network and userbase is going to increase from this.

[tigermom]

Congrats on the new design. As most affiliate webmasters, I am not a huge fan of tube sites, but if it converts and generates sales, then it's a great way to join the wave without drowning (hope that made sense!)

[gaydemon]

Sorry not quite clear on it yet.. I use currently:

http://www.asianguys.com/tour.php (http://www.asianguys.com/tour.php)

But that redirects and send you to: http://www.asianguys.com

Is that supposed to happen and meant to work like that? If it is, no worries I'll keep using /tour.php

Hi Bjorn;

Yes, that is correct. The /tour.php sets a special session and does redirect to the http://www.asianguys.com url. This drops out our traffic leaks for affiliates.
