i just used playboy as an example as i know iyt sells in most countries so people know what the front looks like.
in the uk porn mags are sold in bags so you see nothing. i think its law but not 100% sure.
but my point being is porn mags sold well without alowing customers to see the content. same with dvd's. many show very little on the cover, yet they sell.
in other words why is it when it comes to the net, websites feel to sell they need to give away all the content.
the truth to me is that many affiliates see the free content as a great way to make a free site to attract people. they may make some sales to the site but i bet they make more promoting dating or webcam sites with a banner next to all the great free content.
in other words that porn site is in rreality proving a lot of great free promotional material to a free site to make money for dating sites.
or as an example in the real world its like bmw givving free cars to aafiliates to let customers to drive for a week free as a demo but the affiliate putting adverts on the dash for mobile phones and holidays and so on. the chap gets to use the car for a week, says yes, great car, i will think about it, but i am pleased with the mobile phone i bought from the advert i spotted in the car.
