Would you ever censor tour images?

[marcjacob]

Global Male Pass are doing a "signature" avs where every site has 300 images at least, but they want tour images censored.

I think the surfer needs to be turned on a bit. Personally I think its a bad idea, but you guys know loads more than me so I thought Id ask.

I don't know much about this either, but I'm guessing there needs to be a balance. How do they know what they are getting if its censored. Equally, if there is too much free porn images, won't they just dump their load and be finished? lol

Thats a good point, and something else Im unsure about. I mean you can jack off to one photo if you really want to. A part of me thinks if they are going to jack off they will and if they want to buy they will. The other thing with that is that if someone really wants to jack off to free porn, they can leave your site with its censored images and find something else to wank to.

Yeah. Exactly. Maybe it is simply a case of what the surfer wants. Probably the best way to get sales is make it easy for them to sign up to the programs.

actually several large programs, including ars, censored their images. ars discovered censored tours don't sell as well and went back to full nudity and some hardcore.

years ago, there was a site i promoted a lot. it had an excellent and consistent conversion ratios, and then suddenly sales stopped. i went from under 1:300 to over 1:1500 overnight. i went to the site and discovered they had censored all the pics *LOL* no marketing changes i made could bring back the old ratio, so i moved on.

in my experience, dick or pussy sells a lot better than a rated-pg tour!

I have no idea why they feel censored images sell better.Unless they are trying to go back to their roots and push it as an AVS.

It's a tough question, but my gut tells me that you need to "give away" some frontal nubination and a few spawnshots.

Some potential customers will "pre-dispense"

(which is the term HP applies to labels coming off in your f*cking printer!)

no matter what you show. These easily satisfied surfers probably won't subscribe anyway, so you can call it a community service.

I know a lot of folks who won't even think about subscribing unless they get a good sample - not necessarily a full-sized image, but a good representation.

And I know a few folks who hold the notion that letting a surfer get a nut - with a downloadable image or video causing it - is a good sales tool.

That does me no good, so I walk the line between showing too much and not enough.

Advice - pick hot images or streams, but not quite hot enough to cause a "big reaction," if you catch my drift.

the people who try the censored images always say they figure giving away less will make people join. of course, it doesn't. there's tons of free porn out there - giving samples that show your site offers better models or better quality than the free stuff is a lot more likely to work ;)

Absolutely right - you get free samples at Sam's Club.

You just can't give away the whole f*cking meal!

LOL!

I am of that belief. I go for bookmarkers versus an initial sale when I do AEN sites. Eventually they find something in my hub that interests them.
