Dont you think its time to Censor Pink!! - GoFuckYourself.com

RogerV · 12-28-2005, 04:13 PM

I really do think if we started to Censor the free content out there like maybe just the pussy close up shots the money would come rolling in alot faster

I know we have gone over this topic to death but It cant hurt tyo try something new.

People will pay trust me and the industry would boom again like it did before 2000

all I know from my own experience is when we censor our home pages the conversions go up.

I say no Pink for 2006

Manowar · 12-28-2005, 04:15 PM

there would always be people who would go for the easy cash by showing pink anyway

SleazyDream · 12-28-2005, 04:15 PM

I think you are right, but you know that. Most guys get what they want before they ever get to a join form. There are a lot of reasons, both sales and legal to not show ANYTHING in the free areas.

But, WTF do I know, I don't own any sites...

seeric · 12-28-2005, 04:21 PM

you know why that won't work bro?

too many fuckers think they know everything and they know that if they don't do it and you do that the surfers will find their sites and frequent them more. this industry won't unify on shit unless its for their own safety or not going to jail or something. the benefit doesn't outweigh the risk. i'm sure alot of people will say "fuck you roger, go ahead and do it", and then revel in the fact that you're losing traffic becasue theres still tons and tons of people who won't stop doing it. to get everyone to do it would never happen.

my two cents.

seeric · 12-28-2005, 04:23 PM

now, if it was a law that you couldn't show anything outside a members area, then theres the ticket. :thumbs up

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 12-28-2005, 04:23 PM

TRY SOMETHING NEW?

OK, go ahead start censoring them pussies.

That would probably be the 1st top No No these days.

Biz speaking.

But its not like the industry and the unified whole which would be akin to a miracle greater than the days Jesus walked the earth...

Would even remotly seriously consider this draconian theory an option.

Yeah it would make more money but the world is a little short of miracles and a couple Messiah's stapled to sticks.

While we're at it, all TGPs should change their format to TGP2 because the less free porn, the more paid signups.

AlienQ - BANNED FOR LIFE · 12-28-2005, 04:27 PM

Jesus and Porn got alot in common...

We all love em but if he came back it would be the end.
Just like Censoring Pussy would give returns wealthier than the stairway to heaven.

its not about less free porn just censoring pink this would increase conversions and retention.. free porn was created to tease but now its got out of control

pornguy · 12-28-2005, 04:33 PM

If you couls ever get everyone to work together, I think you might be able to get something like that done. I dont think cutting out the free pink is the right idea, but putting less is.

xxxjay · 12-28-2005, 04:36 PM

I've always seen conversions go down when sites censor. I get the concept, but have never seen it work.

Less hardcore is probably a good thing, but even Naughy America censored tours for a minute and I don't think they do it anyore.

seriously. its way out of control.

i have people that ask for free content of 2-5 minutes per trailer for galleries. fucking. nuts.

no way. anything over 15-25 seconds is whackable.

the main failure in a bottle with the idea of de-pinking is the industry will never unify on something. people would know that if they don't do it, they get more traffic.

Bangbros recently did this to their tours, and I've noticed no improvement in my conversions. In fact, I've noticed the old uncensored tours converted slightly better for me. Bangbros continues to keep their tours censored, so either they're still in a testing phase or it must be working out for them.

its a decision everyone needs to make on there own until the law regulates.

all I'm saying is why dont you try it. its not like its gonna hurt you if you did?

When we update XXXpushers sometimes we only grab softcore gals and i notice the sales go up. even if its a hardcore site

i'll try anything you suggest, you know that. seems like alot of work on the video side of the mov galls.

the pic galls are easy.

if more people listened to you on stuff they would make more money.

thats what we did and it worked but we mixed it a little on some as well. its crazy
but I think its because of the curiosity factor I will pay to see the pussy if there is a girl that catch's my eye and turns me on.

then I want to see it gett fisted

Now and days I go to sites and see it all I dont even need to pay.

that depends on what you are selling.

if you're selling a dating site - i wana give away as much porn as possible.

Loryn · 12-28-2005, 04:47 PM

I do my part. I always tell all my affiliates to NOT GIVE AWAY THE FARM!

When I look at some of their galleries and see close up puss shots and cum on the girls face I ask them, "Why would your surfer buy your product? You just gave it to them for free. No need for them to whip out that card at all. They can bust a nut right there. You have to SELL your product not hand it out. Entice them, tease them, make your trails short and give them just enough to drool on the card in their hand!

Everyone I have told that to their sales did go up. But I agree that getting everyone to do that would be impossible. It does make me mad as hell though. But all I can do it try to make my little corner of the industry work!

it would have to happen in a whole for it to work. supply and demand

the main gain would be retention and I bet you could even raise the prices then. shit 1 good porn video cost $40 now and days

if we flipped the script on the surfers what else would they do? I ask all my friends who are not in the biz if they would join they all say no and name a large TGP.
most are cheap but I know they would pay if they couldnt wack to it.

yep. but instead of a few distributors of the product in demand, you've got literally 10's of thousands of distributors on many different tiers all cutting each others throats at any given chance to get a bigger slice of the pie. the greed and need to survive supercedes everything else. if one says fuck it, i'm not showing it, 10 will realize the potential to attract more traffic because they show pink. instead of working together i can see tons of renegades exploiting the situation.

what do you think it would take to get every single program and webmaster who pushes them to go without the pink?

yeh i dont go above 20 secs either on trailers. and i am gonna start fiddling with some of the ideas in this thread.

NickPapageorgio · 12-28-2005, 05:00 PM

Me and Dave talked about this at length when I was working with you guys back in the day and I agree, showing less and adding to the tease of a tour would make sales go up...but then like one guy was saying, you got a bunch of know-it-all cowboys in this biz that would try to benefit on hording traffic due to surfers looking for the sites that DO show enough to jerk off to. I see 45 second+ video clips on tours and not just one trailer but a 45 second clip for each of 10 preview scenes...I just shake my head. It's like autistic marketing or something. Totally against what's been proven to make sales. You'd never be able to get everyone to agree on it. Hell, you can't even get people to agree on the sky color on this board, let alone throughout the industry.

NickPapageorgio · 12-28-2005, 05:03 PM

As crazy as this sounds, the best thing for the porn biz would be for the Government to disallow the showing of ANY full on hardcore material on the outside of a members area. But then again, those outside of the US would keep on truckin so all that would really do would be shut out the US webmaster/site owner.

**Disclaimer** Yes, I did indeed say that it would be a good thing for the government to censor tours. But it would be for the greater good which is more sales and money.

The "happen in a whole" thing is the whole problem. I agree, sales would skyrocket if every pink beefcurtain on the internet was in a members area and you had to pay. The problem is getting everyone in this industry to do something is (as Tony Morgan says) "like herding cats".

If all the hardcore was behind a members area, it would keep the goverment off our back....which brings us to our next problem...the only was to get the hardcore off the tour would be to have the feds step in. That would be a far worse scenerio - IMO.

Bingo.

similar to retail stores that are required to have an adults area with covers on the fronts of magazines. shit, people don't even get to see the cover of the mag till they buy it. unless they're shady and tear it off.

as bad as it sounds, going to a federally enforced "no hardcore" on tours approach would be the only way to give rogers idea a shot.

think about the sites and free stuff over seas and in other countries that would say fuck your laws on that though. Hmmmmn. a no pink internet just doesn't seem possible in any sense then.

nico-t · 12-28-2005, 05:17 PM

pages with pussy shots and insertion convert way better then sofcore images for me but i guess it depends on the kind of traffic

gdog · 12-28-2005, 05:26 PM

99% of my friends are amazed that we make money in porn charging every month since they can get all they want for free. That is the reality, we cannot censor it globally and guys who want to show the farm will still do it since they make money on upsells. I think the wave of the future will be better upsells and not less free porn, bottom line make the traffic make money.

The ways to make money in recurring is to develop relationships with the customers or pump as much traffic as you possibly can at a site and play the numbers game. The game has changed so much since the days when I started in 99, does anyone have a stat on how many porn sites have been added to the www world since 2000? We are over saturated and it is not going to change anytime soon, why would it, everyone wants to be a pornographer ;)

My long 2 cents.

Yes, that may be the case, but what people don't seem to understand is that if all that was available was softcore images and video samples on a tour, the surfer(s) will be WAY more frustrated and willing to pull out a credit card to pay to see the real deal. If Johnny Surfer knows that the ONLY way he'll be able to see that facial or that anal shot or that lesbian scene is to join up, then he has no option other than to either imagine it in his own head, or sign up. You give the guy 4 minutes worth of video previews on the tour and if he's like 90% of all surfers, he jerking his cock and wiping off with a napkin right after closing his browser window with the tour that just showed him all he needed to see to get off. How a hardcore image vs. a softcore image converts right now is totally irrelevant. If there were no hardcore images or videos, sales would go absolutely nuts. Then again, you got limewire, kazaa, password trading sites, etc which I am sure would become far more popular than the currently are if that were indeed the case. It's a catch22 created by narrow mindedness and know it alls. NOT created by trial and error. People claim, "Well this is how it's done, this is the way porn works, these are proven tactics" but that's all bullshit. The other way was never tried. Even if some say, "Well we tried softcore tours but they didn't convert as well as blablabla..." that's because there has never been a time when there was no hardcore available for free. Even alt.binaries.sex had plenty of pink to show.

don't forget about torrent sites and newsgroups which are growing increasingly more poplular and not that open to people marketing in their areas.

torrents and newsgroups are the new haven for surfers that are getting more intelligent.

i won't mention any specific sites or anything, but i am a member of SEVERAL newsgroups and torrent sites and since the early days of torrents and such when i first started visiting them, oh around, 2001-2002, there were only elitist people who knew what to do and how to harvest stuff. i can tell you without a shadow of a doubt, the number of members has increased by 1000% just in the last few years. more detailed faqs, tutorials and friendlier news readers are making it very easy for anyone with a moderate amount of online intelligence to download as much as their harddrives can handle. its a matter of time before they learn where the real stash of stuff is. its not hard for me to find anyones members area trust me. i don't look at porn recreationally because i am so god awful sick of it from work, but its out there. technology is surely going to advance and the smart ones will always be two steps ahead fo the industry.

That'd be great, only problem is you always got that one guy...you know the guy...looks down his nose at everyone...always has "his" version to add to every story...and he'd say "well, fuck that...I know FAR more about this biz than you lowlife pornographers blablabla...I'm gonna do my thing cause it's the best way...to hell with the rest of you idiots..."

Its one of those so simple ideas but impossible to do

Like cleaning house in the Gov and starting over to many deep pockets everyone is afraid they would lose traffic.

the rules should be made so TGP's and free sites could show more than Paysites etc for the sales it about working together to make more. we have all out done each other already. there is nothing left to show. why not try something new

RogerV · 12-28-2005, 06:35 PM

hell drug dealers know the game better. they get you hooked with a free sample then they charge you till you go broke LOL

notice how the music industry put a stop to napster I know they cant stop all the free shit out there but I bet there making a killing over at Itunes now becasue of it

I dont think cutting out the free pink is the right idea, but putting less is. __________________ PornGuy skype me pornguy_epic AmateurDough The Hottes Shemales online!

I get the concept, but have never seen it work. Less hardcore is probably a good thing, but even Naughy America censored tours for a minute and I don't think they do it anyore. __________________ http://donttellmehowtoruinmylife.com/ - http://www.jmdigitalmarketing.com/my...s-and-reviews/ - http://www.wouldyouhitit.org - http://shinyobjectreviews.com/

When I look at some of their galleries and see close up puss shots and cum on the girls face I ask them, "Why would your surfer buy your product? You just gave it to them for free. No need for them to whip out that card at all. They can bust a nut right there. You have to SELL your product not hand it out. Entice them, tease them, make your trails short and give them just enough to drool on the card in their hand! Everyone I have told that to their sales did go up. But I agree that getting everyone to do that would be impossible. It does make me mad as hell though. But all I can do it try to make my little corner of the industry work! __________________ ~ loryn@loryntaylor . com ~ RIP TD

I see 45 second+ video clips on tours and not just one trailer but a 45 second clip for each of 10 preview scenes...I just shake my head. It's like autistic marketing or something. Totally against what's been proven to make sales. You'd never be able to get everyone to agree on it. Hell, you can't even get people to agree on the sky color on this board, let alone throughout the industry. __________________

But then again, those outside of the US would keep on truckin so all that would really do would be shut out the US webmaster/site owner. Disclaimer Yes, I did indeed say that it would be a good thing for the government to censor tours. But it would be for the greater good which is more sales and money. __________________

gdog Confirmed User Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: San Diego Posts: 1,550	99% of my friends are amazed that we make money in porn charging every month since they can get all they want for free. That is the reality, we cannot censor it globally and guys who want to show the farm will still do it since they make money on upsells. I think the wave of the future will be better upsells and not less free porn, bottom line make the traffic make money. The ways to make money in recurring is to develop relationships with the customers or pump as much traffic as you possibly can at a site and play the numbers game. The game has changed so much since the days when I started in 99, does anyone have a stat on how many porn sites have been added to the www world since 2000? We are over saturated and it is not going to change anytime soon, why would it, everyone wants to be a pornographer ;) My long 2 cents.
