Thanks everyone for the excellent feedback.
We have sales now and the few affiliates pushing traffic are doing a good job pre-selling and making their own promo tools. My goal with the tour is to catch the few people that wander in from SE traffic and also show potential new affiliates that we are serious about converting their traffic.
So yes, I hear you when you say pre-sell, tours based on traffic source, etc. this would be a general first impression for everyone else.
To be more detailed, I am using Mech Bunny right now for members area, just with all the playback locked down for logged in users only, and to log in they need an active subscription.
So the transparent tour is there, I just want a separate place to host a sales pitch and some promo content to drive traffic to the member's tube. I have already decided I'll be using MechBunny for the tour, where I will publish only promo content. I also regularly purchase filler content from bulk offers from various producers here like Naughty Rob, Fitzmulti and others to pad the site with a lot of content and give members plenty of stuff to pound it to. But now I am doing custom shoots of exclusive content and mainly wanted a way to highlight that for potential new members who haven't already been referred by someone doing maybe a better job of promo-ing than I could.
The real question is whether to use a blog style tour to announce new additions on a fairly selective basis, or to do more of a tube style tour with gobs of content like some of these fake tube tours. The reason I'm not just using the site itself as the tour is because I've tried that and it didn't seem to work very well. I want to make the members area more utilitarian so it's uncluttered with promo text and calls to action and just make it as hassle free and easy to nav with one hand for 'baters. It seems easier to me to keep all the sales pitches in one spot and the jerking in another. If there are sales pitches in the members area they will be for upsells and other add-ons.
Maybe that's wrong, but it's my current thinking.
