Would you use this as a marketing tool? Feedback please?
 

I've been looking at the numbers on various accounts and the results are pretty amazing IMO.

We serve it up ... it's fully customizable.

Do me a favor and take a few secs and play with it ... change the different variables around and LMK what you guys think?

Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated!

I like it - and the BEST feature? Sound control!

Pretty slick tool, would be cool if the flash player could open up directly in the tool upon clicking on a scene versus opening a new page...otherwise pretty slick

Nice tool. I'd be interested to hear what the results are with it.

Great feature!

I love that surfers can actually play each vid with full sound ... but it's nice that the webmaster has the option to turn it off if they want :thumbsup

I have seen it a couple weeks ago, not sure if it was this one or some other company. I think it's pretty cool, but I wouldn't advise to use that slide animation. Even though it looks cool it gets kinda annoying after a few seconds and surfers won't like to have to chase that small scene around the screen :1orglaugh

Thanks for your response.

From a viewer's perspective I'd get that, but the main motivation is to move the surfer from your marketing material to the site you're selling. More clicks = more possible sales. Right?

From a marketing perspective can you tell me why you might think playing it inside the player could make more sense? Also, if it did, how would we move the surfer along to the site we're tying to sell them?

Seriously, I'm interested in your answer! If there's a way you see it working better and a good reason why ... I really want to know?

I could quote you numbers and CTRs but that still won't tell you how it works with your traffic.

Maybe you could test it against other ads that you use and and report your findings back in this thread?

I'm pretty confident these ads will be superior and you'll make more $$$

:winkwink:

That slide animation is one of the variables that can be turned off ... BUT ... I'd advise not doing so.

It's super eye catching so it's likely if it's on your page surfers will notice it and roll their cursor over one of the videos either on purpose or by accident then "play" one of the videos ... and then likely click to see more :winkwink:

Very cool tool....

i love it

Maybe, but the problem is I choose lesbian and then the thumbs still have dick in some of them.

A lot of sites if there's a 3some going on add the lesbian tag.
If I want to see lesbians I dont want to see dick.

Nice tool though.


Get the same problem with RK as well. Linking to the lesbian category on the tour serves up cock.

Needs bigger thumbs :2 cents:

Great insight!

That's exactly why I wanted this feedback - I'll talk to my guys and see if there's a workaround :)

I love it!

How much bigger?

So far we have them available @ 107 x 60 and 160 x 90

BTW -

If you have no idea who we are, just take a look -----> ZTOD.com is (IMHO) one of the absolute best designed adult sites in existence and offers MORE high quality award winning HD content than any other site in the market! Just click that link and see for yourself!

AND ... There are just 2 days left to make some extra $$$


If you're not presently a ZTOD affiliate, please take this opportunity to sign up for an account, swap in some of the best/highest CTR promo material in the biz - and test us head to head against whatever else you're currently promoting!

yes, sound control is a must...
put a speaker icon in some corner and make it on/off

Great idea ... already on the request list :thumbsup

Thanks!

Another great tool to give away more free porn with. Just what an industry needs. More tools to give away more free porn. :thumbsup

Why doesn't everyone do this?

Don't worry next week they will. :Oh crap

Paul,

1. It's giving away 30 second clips in a tiny player.
2. More people that look at the videos click over to the site than don't.
3. It's a numbers game.
4. If I get more clicks, I make more sales.

Surely you get THAT, dontchya?

:winkwink:

No never did get it. Tubes get more clicks than anything, but ratios suck.

Today you have a tool to give away 30 second clips, tomorrow someone else will have a similar tool to give away 1 minute clips, then 2 minute and before we know it. 999 are looking for free and 1 is buying. Because dozens have copied the idea and put it on an enormous server to sell dating sites ads.

The attitude that getting conversions of 1-1,000 is good.

Is FUCKED. You're losing 999 potential sales.

But what the fuck do I know, revenue is increasing everywhere, the pavement of the Adult Internet is paved with gold and it gets better and better every single day. :Oh crap

Great tech, Jay. Looks awesome. Great for adult sites.

For mainstream, I see this being useful for tutorial site menus and episodic sites.

I have to laugh a little, Paul. Train left the station long ago. Complaining now is a waste of pixels :winkwink:

The genie is out of the bottle. Can't put it back in.

However, I'm not a tube ... and we are still selling tons of memberships. That being said, we have affiliates that are converting considerably better than 1:1000.

Wasting time and energy on hindsight is futile.

Figure out HOW you can leverage whatever traffic is available today and if you have a good product it WILL continue to sell. Never in the numbers that occurred in 2000 or pre-2000 BUT conversions don't have to be 1:50 ... there's considerably more traffic and MORE SOURCES of traffic.

Those that continue to work smart and hard will harvest the $$$ that those that don't pass by.

I'm thankful for all the people that just complain and give up on trying to make things work ... that means more people falling by the wayside and more $$$ for the products and companies I continue to work with.

Good luck in all your endeavors, bud ... I'm sure magic join links STILL pay off HUGE ... even in 2011 ... so you'll be more than ok :winkwink:

:thumbsup:thumbsup

Stop acting like an incompetent wazzock. Yes your point is valid with regards to ratios. But as far as I see it, you only have one paysite, in one niche, and you are judging the whole industry on stats just from your own site.

You've been in this biz for 40 years and you are unable to do anything revolutionary. It's about high time you retired and let the innovators take over.

At least ZTOD are trying to develop marketing material for the use of its affiliates. Unlike your program with its half arsed banners and content. Looks like you don't even put the effort in anything. Everything has to be cookie cutter with you. Have you seen some of the pages on your tour?

How the fuck do you expect to convert when you have shitty pages like this:-

http://www.paulmarkhamteens.com/tour...hp?name=tasmin
http://www.paulmarkhamteens.com/tour...=louise_hodges
http://www.paulmarkhamteens.com/tour...me=lucy_gresty

Stop blaming the industry for your sheer laziness.


JStyles ...

As for the thumb sizes:-

Add more presets in for various sizes. Would be good if they could blend in with the rest of the thumbs on sites etc. More styling options. Not so sure about the diagonal cut thumbs, maybe an option for square edged thumbs, and maybe rounded corners?

Been using it with very good results.
So few people innovate these days that anything 'NEW' makes a big difference.

Would be nice to have a simple checkbox to make the background transparent.
I figured out how to do it, but a selection box would be a nice addition. ;)

Stop being a total moron.

Yes my point is totally valid regarding ratios. They always meant more people were jacking off to free porn than were paying for it. Only the blind and those happy to make a few bucks were happy with it. Millionaires could of made 10s of millions more.

You judge me by the lowest earner in my portfolio of ways to make money. We made millions selling from the content store. Do you remember the saying "Non Exclusive content is saturated" Well that means we had to sell it over and over and over again.

And the stores were second to magazine sales. Content store content was in essence all free and already in profit.

And if you had a clue you would know who those girls were and realise what a dumb ass you are posting the links. That's content I made many $1,000s back in 1990. The stores and sites are just another way of squeezing more sales from the content. Now that's retro and those girls are sought after.

Marketing material to most = Easier ways to give away more free content.

Why do sales suck? Too much free content.

Yes the genie is out of the bottle, the train left the station. And adding more free content to the ton of free content already online isn't helping. It makes the Genie bigger and the train faster.

We need new ideas on marketing, not continuation of the same bad ideas.

looks good, signing up right now.

Nice tool J$, I liked it the second i saw it in the promo thread, very innovative.

Paul Markham, a different sort of tool.

pretty slick, nicely done :thumbsup

You're obviously still delusional. :disgust

Great points ... all of them!

I'll talk to my guys about the thumbs :)

J, can you drop me a line at roald @T freeones. com please?

Thanks.

PS, we are running this add!

Line dropped

Thanks, man :)

Looks interesting.

That looks interesting :)

I'm signing up.

Thanks, Nicky!

Good chatting with you ... will get you approved and the other thing as well ... ASAP!

:thumbsup

Appreciate the biz, brotha :)

Woow finally something innovating! Great, I love it. The only thing what others already mentioned is an audio toggle. Great job!

Thanks, man - audio toggle is on the list :)

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

We have been using something similar for a few months now xlovecam Sales are up and we have seen a dramatic traffic increase ? this Flash concept is part of the reason. It seems to work nicely.

.

You know, there's a way to tactfully market with etiquette and plain unimaginative thread jack spam. What you did there was was the latter.

:helpme:error

lol

Sorry you feel that way but it has been effective for us. Really more of a kudos thing and a by the enthusiastic response, a positive reinforcement of our own decision.

Peace out

Even if that's somewhat what you think you did ... if you're honest, it sounded more like, "We did this before you guy - look at us"!

And if that weren't the case you wouldn't have put a GFY tracking code on your link.

Just cop to it, you spammed your shit. That was your purpose to post in the thread :winkwink:

Your thread title: Would you use this as a marketing tool? Feedback please?

Sorry you didn't like my answer to your thread question nor want my feed back.

I promise not to answer any post of thread of yours in the future

Click ...

Pretty cool J$tyles! I would think alot of people with tube sites would be interested in using that for a footer banner.

But yeah sound must be a disable option for sure :)

What are you in high school or something? Don't know how to take responsibility for your actions when being questioned?

Wouldn't it have been easier to just say,"Yeah, I spammed my shit with my tracking code hoping to get a few clicks from people reading your thread, sorry - for thread jack?

You even could have said, "Hey, that's a great application. We have something similar - here, check it out - how can we do some business together?

Networking and marketing isn't your strong suit, I gather?

LOL

Agreed!

We're now working on another tool that incorporates the videos playing within the ads that I think will be even better than these ... and these are GREAT!

Thanks, Mark!
