Who uses purchased content for FS?

[Linkster]

UW - usually topbucks,brazzers,nd and of course whatever the flavor of the day is for the team of submitters working out of Europe and So America

I've used both sponser and bought content. You would think unsaturated bought content would help with conversion if you picked the right content for the paysite your sending traffic to. For me though most of my sells from freesites have come from ones that I built using sponser content.

No - I meant which large link lists have a rule against sponsor content?

I've been fortunate enough to hardly ever see the same sponsor content in my queue more than once or twice.

It might, if it weren't for the fact that the content free site builders tend to buy is the low end stuff which seems more over-used than most sponsor content. Most sponsor content is at least quality. Plus, so many paysites have a certain twist to them, so finding appropriate and affordable content can be very difficult, unless you are promoting a more generic babes/lesbian site. Even then, if the content is making the surfer want to sign up, they'd probably expect to find much more of that particular babe in the members area.

I agree with what Useless posted above, especially if you are talking about micro-niches. You know how hard it is to find good cum eating midget content?

If I'm a surfer and I make it to the galleries, I want to see a sample of what's inside the site that is being advertised, including watermarks.

If the content is over-saturated then move on to another sponsor. If you have a members pass and cut your own vids then others shouldn't have the same content as you. If it's about too much of the same sponsor being submitted, well I can buy big tit content and then advertise for Brazzers with every freesite so the content isn't the problem.

BTW, I'm one of those 1:1200 - 1:2500 with freesite conversions. So if you submit and don't see 1:100 - 1:500 ratios that were mentioned above, don't worry because you are not alone.

Some sponsors also buy low end stuff to give to affiliates. They will not pay extra for it either. They are more interested in the price than the quality. Affiliates need to be able to spot it.

And when you do, change sponsors.

I've been building free sites for about six years and have bought one set of content. I use sponsor content exclusively now because when I was a surfer it really pissed me off to see a hot babe on a site and click to see more of her and she's not there. The sponsor's I use put up fresh content almost daily in one niche or another and by checking the sponsor's on a daily basis I'm one of the first to get their content before everyone and his brother gets it. I also have access to members' areas so I can get content that usually only members get. If anyone wants to know who posts fresh content for webmasters hit me up and I'll give you my ref. codes..... |rasta|

So your judgement, on 'your submitters' is an argument against the practice...

Do your submitters make dollar one? Being a "good submitter' is not a measure of profitability. In fact it could be an indicator on non-profitability as they cannot afford content.

You say "these people" are out of touch..

Who are these people and how do you know they are out of touch?

You posted that opinion before anyone had even posted in this thread.

That's because I only know of ONE link list with rules which explicitly state that they don't accept sponsor content - though that's a lie and they do list free sites built with sponsor content - and that person is out of touch. Of course, I realize that my opinion here is of diminishing popularity since I no longer toe the party line.
