I voted no to this and probably always would. Even though it’s a source for free porn and i could add links to my sites through it, it’s too extensive and it’s probably going to be more than enough for most surfers to get off on. That being the case their never going to pay for something they can get free. Taking a step back though why do i feel like that?
Most people who have any interest in porn either from curiosity or from a real interest in buying, when purchasing their first pc will by the end of the first day have looked for porn to see how much of it is out there.
Chances are they would just type in sex or porn, tits or twats... makes no difference, they're going to get plenty of links to the content they want to see. If the tube is the one of the first places they come across they will be so flooded with free links they're unlikely to ever look anywhere else and with the amount of free content available they probably wouldn't bother paying for something they can get there for free. While i'm all for advertising porn and the availability of it, I don't want to see so much free porn given away. It's bad for all concerned when at the end of the day were looking to get surfers to pay for the content. Take this further and you will get to a point where virtually every niche will be available free of charge and once you reach that point you may as well pack your bags and find a new business plan or go bust. Free porn is the perfect tool to advertise a pay sites potential to the surfer in the hope of getting that all elusive sale because they want the content, their curious as hell to see more, or their genuinely into it and it’s a very unusual niche. Giving them a supply of endless links to free porn for that category or niche can't be productive if it's never going to generate sales. You want them curious, turned on and willing to buy, not swamped with a plethora of choice regarding which link they should look at next. Curiosity and a hardon are what sell, if their getting their kicks from thousands of free links to images or videos where is the sale in that? Looking at battle hardened surfers who have already paid for content it works slightly differently. They have already seen the sponsor site and know what’s available. They know what they want and they know where to get it. Again you find that surfer going to free porn through the tube and even though their not getting exclusive content neither are they tied to one sponsors content but they gain access too virtually all of them. The quality may not be as good and the length of movies may not be as long but given the diversity of choice they could stay on the free porn a long time before getting bored and deciding to pay for it once again if ever. They could decide I get my kicks here and I get porn movies on cable so why do I need to buy more porn? Either way it’s not hard to see this leading to a probable drop in sales both for affiliates and sponsors alike.
Maybe i'm wrong in the way i look at this... just my 2cents worth.
