I’ve been looking at those new dating ads and they pull clicks because the surfer knows that the click will take them directly to the page they want to go, the girls profile, for example. Surfers are tired of seeing and clicking on banners that lead them to a tour where they’re asked to pull out their credit card right away. Instead, pre-sell them yourself as much as possible. Show them preview videos and sample images first, give them a review, then finally you can show them a text link to see the tour or the join page.I personally don’t think it’s the sponsors responsibility to sell a site, I think it’s the webmasters responsibility to pre-sell them enough and just link to the join page if you’ve done a good enough job.
Since Adult Everything has so many categories, I’m signed up with tons of different sponsors. I was logging into my many accounts and ended up noticing that there’s a bunch of sponsors where I’m only promoting 1 site on 1 page of mine, thus I’m not sending much traffic or sales. Inevitably this means with a $100 minimum payment, it could take years to reach that amount, if ever. So in other words, it’s lost money and lost traffic. So what I’ve been doing lately is one of 2 things. Add more links and promote other sites that the sponsor has, or just dropping them completely. On the other hand, I’m joining more ccbill / epoch programs now than ever before.
Stop complaining about sponsors not having enogh banners or banners in the right size. I hardly ever use spnosor banners. I create my own. Some of the banners the sponsors have are lame looking and frankly they look like ads. Some of these banners even list the price. Now why would you want that on a banner? You’ve got to convince them first, only talk about price after they’ve decided they want to join. So which are the kind of banners that convert? None, banners don’t convert surfers into paying members, it’s the pre-sell that does it.
