whats the best sales page for a paysite?

[guestcam]

I'm building a new paysite. Gonna make it a cheap monthly reoccurring with a few thousand jpgs, a couple hours of mpgs, and free live nude chat. the Chat will be the only place I will work an upsell.

WHICH WAY SHOULD I GO on creating my sales/front/index pages??

I always liked the slick graphics of the old time paysites' sales pages.
But these days google is in love with the blog format, so that seems like the smart thing to do......................

What's your experience in what is making the SALES?
Make the sales pages graphics intensive - aka old stype
or
go blog with some pics
or
??

thanks

Is there an affiliate program? If so, who cares about the SE stuff.

If it's your personal site & you want to go after SE's & whatnot, then text (doesn't have to be a blog) is probably the way to go (as it's always been IMHO)

no affliate program planned.

And yeah I hear ya about text is king for SEO. To expand on my orignal thought/question, ONCE traffic arrives, what's best for making the SALE?

I personally like the slick graphics rich sales page. I kinda dont care for the current blog style a lot of front pages are showing. Of course I have NO IDEA how those blog pages are converting...........

so you paysite owners out there - what's your experience in this area of making the front/sales pages?

Don't even give any thought to a "Reality Tour". Every paysite/sponsor has rolled them out for their sites, and they're all cookie-cutter even from one sponsor to the next. I say do your own thing, try not to follow the herd... load it up with good description text (too many sites aren't doing that AT ALL these days...) and good luck!

Self generated sales has never done any wrong and if the sytem is well done it might allow affiliate links to be ranked.

What sells a paysite?

Content is king. Is it content that is not on every other paysite and TGP on the planet. Quality of the content is important too but that is more an inside thing.

Other factors in good sales pages? Maybe design and layout with easy navigation. Making it is for the surfer to click will keep him moving thru the tour and to the signup page.
