videos content for freesites
 

Is it a good bad idea to use video content for freesites.

Does anyone not allow videos?

Do most have specific categories?

Better or worse conversions?

I use videos a lot, I can't remember ever being turned down.

I just put the site in the niche, I only submit to the movie cat if it doesnt fit any thing else.

I am not sure about conversions...

I would like to warn you only do it if you have extra transfer with your host.

mpegs are 2.7% of my hits, but they are 66.6% of my transfer...

I've been doing mostly movies and movie/pic combo sites the past few months. They do seem to convert better, but I haven't collected any hard data to support that.

I submit to the appropriate category if possible because I think that gives more targeted traffic than a catch-all movie cat.

This is for tgp's but still..

GP vs MGP traffic...... Test results
We where wondering if there would be a big quality difference between TGP and MGP traffic so we came up with a test, here is what we did:

First we setup a campaign (link tracker) for all our TGP and MGP galleries to see which one gave wich signup and ratio. We also added a counter to each gallery (different counter for each gallery) to see what amount of traffic each gallery would get.

We did some calculating so that we submitted our TGP galleries to TGPs wich had a total amount of traffic about the same as the MGPs where we submitted our MGP galleries to.

We made 1 gallery a day for each, submitted 6 days a week for 4 weeks, mostly partner accounts.

We stopped counting signups and ratios (for this test) when both MGP and TGP galleries had recieved about the same amount of traffic total.

We use niche based galleries and submit them ONLY to that category, for both. We used 16 thumbs for TGP and 3 20 sec clips AVI format for MGP.

Used same niche for both: female ejaculation (squirting) and used a PIC based paysite for my TGP galleries and a movie based paysite for my MGP galleries although this doesn't mean that both paysites had pics and movies, just a mather of tour layout.

Here are the numbers:

MGP ratio: 1:672 counted 35 signups.
TGP ratio: 1:912 counted 24 signups.
Ratio taken from second page view, unique clicks.

Clickthruw gallery - paysite had a difference of 1.27% in the favour of MGP traffic."

Shame they didn't post the b/w used for each, but interesting test, thanks for posting that ilikexxx

yeah some interesting comments - thanks everyone :D

That test is pretty reasonable. Surfers who has enough money for broad connection to download movies probably are able to pay for paysites.
