1. Are you running a link site or a paysite? Every link on your site that leads to someone else is a potential lost sale. If you want to get people to join your site, don't give them any reason to get distracted and leave.

2. Link from your free sites to your paysites, but not the other way around. Your free sites (such as your yahoo club) should exist to funnel traffic to the pay site. Once the traffic hits the paysite you don't want to give it an easy way out. Once someone hits bbwtori.com do you really want them to visit your
yahoo club or do you want them to join?

3. Make it easy for members to join. Here too think of your cover and tour as a funnel, leading to your join page. Everything should lead to your join page. There should always be a link visible to 'see it all' or 'get access'.

4. Don't give them too much for free. Show them some pictures to excite them, but don't over look the judicious use of text to describe the content that is "too hot to show in the tour".

5. Unless you're going for the 1997 retro look, get a more contemporary design and use better photos. Avoid over compressing pics, the grainy look is not enticing.

6. Why is it a lair? Why not an a playpen, hangout, or club house? Other than the name there was nothing lair like about the site. Pick a voice and give the site some personality. Is the site just a heap of big-butt content or is it your lair? Emphasis your bio.

7. Take all of the promotional crap for other sites and put the best of it on an exit console or two. Take your best shot at the surfer, if he doesn't buy then you can try to send the hit off somewhere else.
