Freesites - New thought for me at least!

Sodo · 2009-02-20, 08:11 PM

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

Blind/Misleading links to the sponsor or to enter your freesite's main page are rejected at most of the big LL's around here....so that's not it.

Once again, what works for one person does not necessarily work for another. Experiment to find out what works for YOU and be prepared to do a lot of
