Corbin Fisher redesign

[milivanili]

What do you think about the new design? Like it, don't like it?

I think it's awesomely done

[gaydemon]

I like it, its very nicely done.. clean, sharp and very tidy. Looks great! (but the code is extremly bloated and out dated though)

Its the type of design I really like, but I wonder if its too nice and clean? It doesnt look like a porn site.

[milivanili]

That's exactly the reason why I like it. Because it makes you feel more unpornish, yet hot

[Adam Mason]

Wow, that's a huge change!!! And they've really bumped their prices up too!

Looks nice though.

[pocoloco]

Wow a 10 dollar increase! That's a huge difference.
But I do like the new design... very clean!

[dzinerbear]

Yes I like it to. I probably would have made the background of the site it's just a slightly different colour or put a border around the whole thing to draw your eye in. On a large-screen monitor it tends to fall off the screen.

But it's a very classy look.

I'm not sure about putting women on their join page. I realize they're selling both sites, but gay men generally don't want to see women. I would have two different join pages.

Do you think the non nude tour is going to hurt them?

What's with the subdomains? mars.corbinfisher.com and earth.corbinfisher.com? www doesn't seem to exist anymore. It looks like they're doing a bad form of load balancing. If they're not careful with how they deal with spiders they're going to drop out of the SERPs for their own branded terms. The 947 pages they have indexed on www are gone (return a 404), and their organic traffic will go to hell pretty quickly as a result...

Now is the time for affiliates to work hard to rank for the term 'corbin fisher'... Since it's not a term I think I can rank for, that's my piece of free advice to those of you who can (JUB, juicygoo, queerclick, bjorn). Give it 2-3 weeks and affiliates will be the only thing you see in the SERPs for their branded terms - unless they own some of those sites that look like affiliate sites - but that's hardly the first impression you want to give people in terms of your brand when they search in Google...

On a technical/SEO level, I'd say the new design is an unmitigated disaster unless they've done stuff in the background with htaccess to handle the spiders. But the fact that so many of their pages are returning 404s (http://www.google.com/search?q=corbinfisher.com) tells me organic traffic never crossed their mind.

BTW, when I talk about affiliates filling in the holes of sponsors' marketing plans - this is what I'm talking about... Forgetting to register the plural of your domain is just a small thing - this is far bigger - I'm shocked actually... I'd expect more of someone their size.

I was actually talking about design and not SEO...

i like the new design a lot, although it scrolls sideways a few pixels for me. i do wonder, though, whether such a radical color change might hurt such a well-branded site, one that's known for the dark blue color. my personal luck with non nude tours like this hasn't been good - usually converts at 1/3 of what the tours that show cock and action convert at for me.

btw, i've always hated having the str8 stuff on the same tour with the gay stuff.

I haven't been to Corbin Fisher in a while. I think the design itself is pretty, but it isn't very intuitive. Granted, I'm not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but I went to the site to see Corbin Fisher and then I was presented with their two sites. There isn't anything on the front page to show that you get access to both sites. So, I had to read and click to figure out what they were selling. Initially I thought it was a portal to their sites.

Was their text/descriptions always like this: "Get to know every inch of them as they strip, stroke and introduce themselves." Though they might not have been the raunchiest site around, I always thought they had at least a bit of naughty talk in their text.

I'm also slightly confused by the use of academic navigation (Dean's List, etc).

All that being said, they make a S#!T load more money than I do, so they probably know what their doing.

One more thing - they do have beautiful guys. That will overcome a few missteps.

[milivanili]

I had a tgp which showed 90% of thumbs non nude and guess what; beautiful guys got clicked faaaaaaar more than dicks thumbs, and those galleries converted very well, so the myth how non-nude tours sell less is just a myth.

If you can produce hot men every week I bet you'll be able to sell them easy; while putting average guys/or not so much attractive and showing each and every inch of their dicks not neccessarly means you'll sell it.

Also, I don't remember CF tour was any different previously, it was always more or less NON nude previews and it sold.

I agree, non nude guys sell (as long as they are gorgeous!

[basschick]

but the question here is whether gorgeous nude guys sell better than gorgeous non nude guys - the guys are the same either way. and even more, the question is whether gorgeous nude guys having sex sell better than gorgeous non nude guys not having sex.
