Remember, the goal here...keep your eye on the prize. That prize being sales...we're not here to provide the world with free porn. We're here to market a product...that product happens to be adult entertainment. But, marketing is still marketing...and sales are still the bottom line

I understand that, especially if your promoting more then 1 site. In my case, seems like if the ads are on everypage and go to the same site, what is the benefit of clicking back? I agree the point is not to give porn away, it's to make sales, but my logic was to get the surfers to the samples as efficiently as possible.

If you make them go back to the main that's an added try for sales. instead of 1,2,3,4. It's 1,2,3,2,4 see the difference?

I still have to shake the habit of making it easy for "Mr Potential Sign Up" to get around like this.
Sometimes I remember the 1,2,3,2,4 thing, sometimes I don't.

I've got used to not using a Google exit link/leak on the index page, so I'm getting there slowly.

There's an old rule in advertising - if you show someone something 19 times they will remember it (also works for nuclear physics classes BTW for memorization) - so the more times you can show an ad/text whatever you are selling the more they will remember it - and hopefully after looking at those teaser pics you put on gallery 1 with the text and smaller banners, when they go back and look at that hot,crisp,hit them below the belt text youve got on your main page they will click into the paysite - of course the preference would be to have them never even get to the galleries

Exactly

90% of my sales come from index and main pages, approx 70% come from index

Yep! By the time they hit the galleries the surfer is just sucking up bandwidth. At least that's the way it seems for me.

I don't use "exit links or "next gallery" type links either.

Those numbers mirror my own
