02-27-2014, 01:00 AM

My traffic stayed consistent throughout the 7 days testing on Casting.xxx and the 24hrs on PublicAgent.com. We did not do a press release about accepting Bitcoin. So in effect, the sales ratio did worsen for this same traffic. The only difference to the user experience was having the word "Bitcoin" on my join page.

We first listed Bitcoin as a 4th pay option in the list. No icon, simply Bitcoin. After 3 days, we created a heading of "alternative payment" under the 3rd payment option. This had no effect. We removed Bitcoin from Casting.xxx and put it live on PublicAgent.com, under "alternative payment" and saw the same effects.

The reason we tested for 8 days before pulling is that we wanted to give this enough time. Believe me, I wanted to pull this after 48 hrs.

Also understand, if someone could tell me what I did wrong, and suggested a solution, I would put Bitcoin back on a site for testing.

An important factor to consider that differentiates my sites from others that accept Bitcoin is the fact that over 90% of my traffic is derived from the tubes. That is what I founded my company on, given my background. Maybe this traffic is fickle to Bitcoin? Maybe those users thought "interesting, Bitcoin..." and then went off to explore about Bitcoin, maybe looking at what price it was.

I consider the traffic to my sites to be in a different mindset to more traditional traffic. Quite simply, they have whacked off to one of my clips on the tubes, and are now in a happy place, with all the hormones running through their brain. For a tube site, if you can keep these users on your tube, is golden times. They explore, clicking more pages, doing more searches, clicking on more banners. This is when the ave page view per visitor really increases, and therefore, really increases your banner impressions. And, ultimate goal of the tube is to have that user exit your tube by clicking on a banner. We studied this behaviour intensely and were the first tube to offer the "we recommend" option for other videos they may like. We listed thumbnails on the video player page of other videos they may like. This was a serious hook to get the users to stay on YouPorn post masturbation, and helped us increase our ave page views per visit to an average of 10.7.

With the tube user being in this mindset, in exploratory mode, they start to click banners on the video player page (thats why the next to video a and b banners on a tubes video player page are prime real estate as its post masturbation). Some of those users click on my banner under the video player and come have a look around my tour. A side note: for every 1 user that clicks on my banner, 2 directly type my website name directly into their browser. Maybe there is a trust issue for those 2 users of clicking a banner on a tube?

So, now that I have classified the mindset of the traffic hitting my website, maybe, just maybe, the Bitcoin option on my join form, gave them another reason to go off exploring. Right now, thats the only rational explanation I have as to why Bitcoin simply did not work for me.
