Im an ARS CHAMPS webmaster myself and I'd like to put my cheap two cents in
First of all, if you check out the ARS web board, a lot of champs webmasters are complaining about the no trial option. I think a $10 trial would be great, but linkster is right - they really seem to be sticking to their guns.
I think there are parts of this program that are really brilliant, but its still in it's infancy and everyone needs to give it time.
One problem is that things always take longer to set up than you plan, and this becomes a big problem when you have all these webmasters waiting to jump on the bandwagon. This has been the case with late launch dates, lack of information being posted on building the tours, and adding content slowly.
For instance, they have 6 DVDs for the gay section and every scene has been "purchased" (meaning a max of 5 webmasters can use them on their site). Every gay scene has been taken and the only one free in the category is straight porn for women... meaning heterosexual sex with more shots of the man. kinda strange
I think this program will do better with niches, but we'll see. There are some great tours out there like "Big Dicks, Lil Chicks" and "24/7 Pimp". However, not to be rude, but some of the other tours ain't great, and I think its too bad there arent any design standards... Not trying to be a bitch, but some of them just arent erotic and I think give a bad face to other webmasters looking to promote the sites.
I have designed a tour called Dirty Latina Videos... its at
http://latinavideos.adultvideoplanet.com/ and soon at
http://www.dirtylatinavideos.com
It aint *perfect* but I worked hard on it and I think its pretty good... there are some things I'm thinking I need to fix but hopefully it will do well for me! Wish me luck... I usually do things in the gay market... ::pussy:: eep!
okay... i keep on making typos... must check before I post... sorry!
