The biggest problem with most TGP's is that many of them hit the surfer with the title/heading tag already, making sure he knows that he can find 100000000000000 free pics and movies on there. Now the amount may vary and it's not always as huge as they want to tell the surfers, but it's there. And if a surfer hits 10-20 TGP's via tradelinks, he's pretty much indoctrinated with the fact that there's shitloads of free porn out there and that he probably never have to pay for porn again. This behaviour pretty much conditions the surfer into an anti-pay mindset and makes any remotely potential sale even harder to make.
Add to that all the galleries advertising free memberships and whatnot, and you've got yourself a veritable, lean, mean, freeloader-creating machine.
Porn caters to a repeated, easy-to-satisfy need. The need to get off. It's not like watching an old movie on a free network and planning on getting HBO so you can get all the premieres. The surfer wants to get off, period. And if he's found something to get off to on ANY TGP, good luck selling him a porn membership.

I totally agree
We don't need to remove the Free stuff just censor it and not show pink. maybe the TGP owners and paysite owners need to get together and work it out.
it would just mean better conversions and more sales if we put a squeeze on the free hardcore
