Freesites - New thought for me at least!

In regards to a surfer thinking they'd see free pics etc from a link..I myself don't use misleading text I try and spell out where that link is going, I think most of us here do the same.

The freeloaders with no intention of buying will do that. They're going to see some free pics/movie clips at the paysite's tour anyway so I guess it depends on the text you use to get them there.

And after they enter your site and see your free pics there still needs to be a reason to buy. Personally, I feel that if a surfer gets to my galleries I haven't done my job. The only reason I have image/movie galleries is because link lists require me to have something for the surfer....and a little sampling of what is available might get a sale. (But from my stats that's rare)

Yep...."Wife won't give you her ass? Take a look at the girls that LOVE anal sex at...............". "Not getting enough cock sucking? The babes at "........." suck cock just so they can swallow cum. Take the free tour and see some of our cock sucking teens". They know they're going to a paysite and will get some free samples.
