Agree here. Being my wife does this we do notice much more sales in the winter. I think its just common place around the net as a lot of people just dont want to exit and enter the cold and have nothing better to do but sharpen their pencils.

Agree tried this with my first site and it was mostly to stop beggars and underage people. Did not work. Only good thing that came from it was I did charge $5 for access to the site and made about $300 in total. But in the end sales were minor..

Agree. New site is totally free, just have to sign up with a real email addy and verify it. Site went from offering a purchase button on the hosts page to saying fuck that. I knew the traffic I was busting my ass for was being redirected to these girls personal sites and that started to piss me off. Changed it so all the hosts now get a purchase button if they like it or not. We are still getting hosts signing up about an average of 3 a week and once I put up the buttons I knew I did something right as with in 24 hours we had the first sale from it. Now we are seeing about 1 a day. Not much but still nice to see the change worked for the better and the targeted traffic is paying off. Some of the hosts are still redirecting I suppose but I will be testing them on that and also how they treat a possible customer. Any shady shit and they are banned.
