Take a look at adult dating sites for another prime example. Shouldn't everyone by now realize these are all a huge crock of shit? "Hot babes are waiting for you in your town. Signup now!" Sure they fucking are. It should be come sense that these hot babes are not actually there, but the emotional triggers have been played, and an effective call to action still has thousands upon thousands of idiots signing up every day.
Maybe if more pornslingers actually put some thought into their own copy people would be seeing some slightly better conversions...  |
Some still think it's 2001. No wonder sales are falling.
Like after telling the customer shit is gold the customer can still be fooled.
Dating sites will suffer the same and the con artist selling them will suffer. How long does it take is the only unknown.
The text promises, the content delivers.
With sales falling some still believe the fix is to carry on doing the same they've been doing for the last 10 years. You're the dinosaur. I'm the adapter.
