I am one of the guys involved in this project, I have been sick with the flu so I wont be on allot but ill address a few key points, and hopefully once I get better ill go into more details about the project, the people behind it, and maybe go back and forth with a few here that like to mock everything 

This project is far from done and is in early testing stages.

Yes real credit cards have been used hence we have a legit spam report and we will also be posting a letter from a CPA signing off on that.

There will be an aff program, next AVN issue will have a full page ad about the site.

I have been in this industry a long time, I don’t design things so webmasters can talk about it, I design things that the surfer will enjoy, my tours are still lame and plain on all my sites and I still shoot updates after all these years, again I could care less about impressing webmasters or impressing myself, im not the one joining my own sites neither are you the webmaster.

We have footage of cancellations too, and when it goes live access is no longer valid. We try to uploaded after the membership is up, in addition we try to blur out as much as possible, do we make mistakes, yes.

We never joined a site using our own aff code, its clean joins.

We are human we make mistakes, we will fix it as soon as we are asked, im saying this a few times so people don’t panic, a big focus is being put on speedy corrections whatever they may be.

There will be a section with updated info for the user and we are more then capable of re-shooting when needed

Only a group of paysite owners who are in constant touch with their members would understand what this project is about. To be fair none of the sites we operate get reviewed, we tried it and as honest as it looked I can still see some saying it looked too positive, and it’s just a conflict of interest in a way.

Although you can blame the lack of signups in these days on tubes etc. the fact is this industry has fucked and re-fucked so many, and millions of people simply don’t join because of that, when you fuck a porn buyer you fuck everyone in this business. No doubt the huge amount of free porn don’t help either, but hey I cant help with that. In addition there is a whole market of people that are not expert surfers that would join porn sites if they would just know what the heck it involves, don’t assume everyone with a internet connection knows how to surf the net well, if they would several million computers wouldn’t get infected daily.

Years ago this site wasn’t needed, now it is, this project is really a small piece of a larger mainstream review project but we figured lets get adult out as it was the easiest to shoot.

And yes the consumer is doing more homework in these days especially when it comes to porn. The idea of doing video review is old, Cnet has been doing product reviews on video for a long time, but like I said this project hasn’t even started, and hopefully it will work out.

Like anything else that’s new, many will bash it and go into their theories on why it won’t work, and they will find spelling mistakes and all types of errors. Well guess what nothing is perfect from the start and like any new idea it will be tweaked and tested and given a good chance.

The surfer will decide what they prefer, what you as a webmaster will or wont do, does not matter (worth saying a few times).

I appreciate any feedback, the goal here is to help site owners with legit sites get sales, that’s it, quiet frankly money comes last, as bullshit as this sounds this is the truth. The main focus is bringing back the paying members; and to bring back some trust, that’s all. Before getting involved in this project a huge amount of research was done. The surfer will soon tell you who does and doesn’t understand them, but I don’t blame anyone for bashing a new concept, it’s the nature of the beast.

Its new and it will takes a big marketing effort including lots of late night TV spots and other major partnerships that are not the typical method of marketing to give this site the chance it deserves, for now its all about uploading tons of quality reviews and that’s the main focus now, in some cases redoing some that are not clear.

Enjoy and as soon as I get better ill spend more time here.

I'm not knocking.... I like the idea, but I have to ask.

Are you going to be pointing out the ways websites monetize themselves? Like xsales, one clicks, upgrades, showing they have upsells, and in-house email marketing?

I'm not talking shady stuff, just normal marketing.

I know some people will support this, but in reality it slits the paysite owners throat telling the surfer about it.

Any affiliate program not doing it, isn't really that big... just cutting the bullshit, so wondering where you stand on such an important topic with review sites now?
