Personally, I like to include a price for all sites I promote. No matter if its $1 trial or $35 a month, it qualifies a surfer as a buyer when he/she clicks on my link and thus making it easier for paysite tour to sell.

I have to disagree (unless you're paying per click for the traffic thru some ad site)

Why bother telling them it's $30? Just let them take the tour & find out when they click the join link. I'd rather have the tour take a shot at selling them as opposed to scaring them away before they even see the tour. Sure, the ratio's will make you feel better if you mention the price before they get to the tour, but I'd rather have more sales & a less than stellar ratio

Back to the subject at hand, I agree with Halfdeck - mention it if it's a cheap/free trail or a cheap monthly charge ($10 or so)

I never mention cost on my galleries or sites. Those that convert well I send to the sponsor tour. Those that are harder to convert I send to a tour I build. Only after I'm sure I did my best to get them interested in joining do I offer a link to price...

I suggest everyone try both methods - it's strange how things work differently for different webmasters.

If you have good content on your free site/gallery then price will not be scary thing - since surfers are horny, they will register the price and subconsciously accept the fact they need to take out their credit cards. This will help the tour to sell with flashy graphics and surfers will not run away when they see $29.99 on join page.

Of course, it's hard to argue with GG on adult site marketing.

Oh stop

Plus, it's hard to argue with you - I completely missed your sig when I posted & based on that, I can see your POV as well

To avoid misunderstanding, I own a paysite reviews site, but I'm talking about free site/TGP galleries marketing.

Of course, on my reviews site, I display prices (all payment options). I do similar on free site/galleries.

No really, it's hard to argue with you - it's your board

Seriously, your link-o-rama looks the same for a decade, and that speaks for itself about doing things right. It's hard to tell you that you need to improve - when it's working. You might actually loose if you change stuff now.
