Using movies and pics on the same site

[SheepGuy]

I'd like to get rid of my movie category but I have too many trades on it.

Everytime I've talked to non-webmaster consumers of porn I notice that those who seek out only movies never pay for porn. For that reason I'm hesitant to make a distinction between pics and movies.

My intuition tells me mixing the two seems ideal, all things considered, though I've nothing significant to back that with.

My stats have improved since I started doing movie only free sites. And some of the hottest converting sponsor sites are themed on movies.

That's very interesting...perhaps a new thread would be in order, but I have wondered about pics vs movies. I seem to get more traffic from movie sites. Of course 10 movies is more server space than 20 pics, so there is a cost. If movies convert better, I'm sure the additional expense of server space would be well worth it.

Can you kill a good thing with too many damn choices???

Maybe...I dunno.

I list all sites on one category page which I think is better for my submitters. Plus I list each link forever (so far anyway). Once a cat page gets to about 200 links, it's pretty big, and imo, isn't really good for anyone. I didn't want to add pages (ie. page 2,3 etc for each category) so what other choice is there than to split them up? Some categories are hard to split, so movies/pics is one of the only ways. The category may get less traffic to each specific page, but hopefully it is more filtered traffic too. Plus maybe surfers will check out more pages than they normally would, stay on my site longer and maybe find something new they like

I see better stats with movie sites too (which is funny cuz I didn't even want to do them lol) but the sites I promote now are usually movie sites, with little in the way of pic content. So I don't know if it's because of the movies, or the sites. My bandwith usage is up, of course, but surprisingly not as much as I thought it would be.

I have noticed the same. I have a good buddy who will never get his credit card out because he is afraid his wife would know that he bought porn. Of course I told him to get his own fuckin' credit card. I asked him if he looked at one of my sites...He said yeah but he didn't really like it because he just likes movies. This was on a mixed fake TGP.

why is that sheepguy? you want to put the movies to your general categories or you don't want movies anymore or what?

[spacemanspiff]

Fine with me.

Same here. I actually get a few submissions like this already.

I still want movies! Just in hindsight I'm thinking it would be better to have them mixed in with the pics more in the niches. I definitely want movies though

So mix them in the categories as well, have a movie icon or something... in the meanwhile you can live them in the movies category too as a way for the movie-looking surfer to find them quicker...

or something

Regarding the subject at hand, I see ponygirl's and GG's point too. If you have movie categories then it probably be a pita to decide where these freesites go...

except if you add a 3rd type of categories: mixed milf sites
