Greenguy's Board - View Single Post - Why's content buying such a FRUSTRATING experience?

re. registration:

this is in fact one issue which annoys me, too! But I understand the view of providers as well with legal concerns and offering 'fresh content' to porn surfers.
On the other hand: if I come to a content site and have no idea what they're offering BEFORE I get my access password then more likely I'll ignore that site (and revert to my bookmarks) - so give us at least access to (let's say) one page showing your latest 8-12 sets, block if you like the option for large size previews, and THEN ask for a registration. You won't harm any kid with a small thumbnail showing a nude or some foreplay (and in many cases the header graphics are far more 'into your face'), and it won't cost you a fortune in bw either...

re. emails from content providers:

short and juicy is better! The email address I provide is an online service, which is not really good with displaying badly written html emails, so the more complicated they are the more likely I won't see them.
and: the shorter the more likely I will look at them! There's this content place called Garill who send almost every week an email of 300-400 kb = far too large! They suffer the same fate as almost all CECash emails (which are too long as well) - unopened into the trash! And hence I have never bought anything from Garill. Whereas emails from AdultCzech (to name one) are short and informative, and most likely I'll go and have a look at the larger samples.
Another issue with your emails: if I follow a link from your advertising email I don't want to be forced to enter my password in order to get to the page! In that case I most likely close the browser window instead of going and searching 2-5 minutes for my password. You send this ad to an email address in your database, so it's already a confirmed lead - why do you ask for another confirmation?
