Warning page

juggernaut · 2006-02-25, 09:56 PM

I think there are two type of warning pages. One for paysites and one for traffic building sites. My warning pages for my paysites are just that, warning pages. No porno on them at all, or else i would not have been able to process credit cards.
For the traffic building sites I still keep my warning pages clean. I don't want to give any porno hater extra ammo if I was to have some legal trouble. Most of the seasoned surfers know what it is and know to click threw it asap, so I don't really know if any ads on those pages would be worth it. I think the average surfer sees the warning pages and instantly looks for the enter button and nothing else.

I'd have to disagree with ya there Jugg.

From my own free sites, well over half my sales were from the warning page. That page is your first shot at convincing the surfer the paysite you're promoting has exactly what he's NEEDS

However, I do still treat it as a warning page. No hardcore images at all...not on banners...not on recips...none. Text is something else entirely...I'll get nasty in text...but no hardcore images.

If they dont' bite on the warning page...then I'll hit em with some hardcore images on the main page. Which by the way...is number 2 as far as where sales come from

psssssst, I make a fair number of sales every month from the "R-rated" HPA's on my warning pages.

Why even call it a "Warning" page? It's a doorway. Either to galleries or sponser pages. The actual warning is usually (not always) in a scrolling text area existing only as a feeble CYA device.

As with any marketing site the landing page is critical in terms of visitor retention and sales.

By the way MrYum my 8 yr old Granddaughter can read as well as view pictures.

It's called a warning page because that's what's been deduced as the best model for free sites...at least for now...and has been for some time. Yes, it is a feeble attempt at cya...but it IS an attempt nonetheless.

Good...I'm glad she can read at that age. I'd also hope that she's either supervised when online...or filters are installed...or better still..BOTH. But, while she may indeed be able to stop and read the text on the 'warning page' of my sites. She won't be seeing any hardcore images to ask questions about

To me...text requires one to actually sit there and read it. Whereas images are immediately IN YOUR FACE....there's no chance to bail out when the surfer realizes it's an adult site...the picture is there. At least with text...the surfer has to make a decision to READ it.

Don't take my post as personel MrYum. That was not my intention and if you felt that it was I sincerely apologize.

And yes, supervision and browser filters need to be implemented in every household it applies to. Filtering has 2 edges like any other sword. It's our 1st choice because there is no 2nd choice. Most filtering also causes the loss (indirectly) of web sites that are not harmful. That makes it tough for kids to use the internet as an effective educational tool.

And yes, the warning/landing/splash page is critical. If you can't reach out and grab the surfer with 'above the fold' (@800x600) 'hooks' then they are lost and gone forever.

Again, no offense intended MrYum

later ............ Larry

I don't think there should be any obscene visuals wishmaster. The "Warning" pages we do are very 'plain Jane' and non-descript in nature. Some LLs are very firm on not showing visual obscenities and others don't seem to care one way or another. Let your personel constitution be your guide I guess!

By the way. If you look at one of the sites you listed for us MrYum you'll see that we have similar thoughts, in theory anyway.

No offense was taken by your post Larry...not at all. If my response came across that way, my turn to apologize

The subject of warning pages comes up from time to time. I know many link sites don't mind hardcore on the page...some do...I'm in the latter group for reasons previously mentioned. For now, this is the model we use...that very well may change at some point in the future. But, at least we can try to show some modicum of responsibility with the current model...jmho of course

I remember that site! Chuckled when I saw it...nice to see someone going a bit outside the box...while still remaining true to the rules
