"If it doesnt feel right, it's probably not right."
And well, this doesnt feel right. From a sponsors stand point (and many sponsors may vary on this), I have a HUGE issue with even my preview thumbs or thumbs from my exclusive soley owned (never sold as plug ins or anything else) content being used as a lead in for the purchase of some $4.99 month charge to view galleries.
Our sales tools or meant for our affiliates to use in order to generate traffic and send that traffic to us, not for our affiliates, one of their friends or a buddy to pre-sale that possible customer in hopes they might buy to our site.
Using any of the content from any of our sites to upsell or sell any membership other than our's will result in a cease order, regardless of which way the product is trying to be pushed.
Now let me ask you a question. Since your numbers reflect that 99% of surfers dont buy memberships, answer this for me:
1) If they dont buy, what makes your stuff so special that they will buy from you? I mean buying access to a bunch of non-jerkable material doesnt really solve any issue.
2) If surfers are so sick of being jurked around and they will jump at this chance to get galleries without the jerk around... Why couldnt they just visit The Hun and so many other quality sites like GG&J, etc.
3) Assuming that 99% of the surfers dont buy or that ratio's are 1:1000 might be somewhat of a mistake on your part, where is this data coming from? What research?
4) If your so confident that your system and the results it displays are so excellent, than why dont you just lose the fee idea, go with having ad's (google does and they seem to do pretty good last time I checked) and everyone will be happy.
I have always been about creative idea's and marketing, however I think this idea balances on the fence, on one side of the fence there is this site and it's creators, on the other side of the fence is everyone else in the adult webmaster community.
