Freesites - New thought for me at least!

[Sodo]

Well thanks for all the comments, I will start next week to promote VOD on the warning page and then hit them hard on the main page with a paysite.

I can see that some of you mention that you get the most sales from your index page, but of cause you will if 90% of the click throughs to the sponsor come from that page.

The problem I see is that surfers clicking a text link that does not mention extremely clearly that it will lead them to a paysite, might just close the page or hit the back button all the way back to where they came from before hitting your index page. Who wants to be mislead, I can see from my server stats that there's quite a drop off between index and main!

Half the drop offs might be surfers who thought they would enter your site or get to see some free pics when they clicked a sponsor link and they ended up on a paysite and thought what the fuck, someone shafted me here! That is a potential lost signup there.

And it's hard to really build up a buying mood on the index page with all the things that already has to be there. I would prefer 30 click throughs instead of 300 anytime if I knew that the surfers clicking through knew it was a paysite and they had some kind of interest in it because that would make them more of a potential buyer than the ones where half feels shafted and the other half was not half way horny yet!

But I will make a follow up in this thread with my results. :o) That will be in 3 weeks time when I have something to compare with. :o)

Once again thanks for sharing your thoughts :o)

Kind regards
Sodo
