Vote for the pay site that has the MOST sales potential!
 
These 4 entries came from an open nomination in another thread where we asked people to post sites that have the most potential and will benefit the most from a total makeover.

THE SITES:
-----------------------------------
http://www.ariagiovanni.com
http://www.cfnmusa.com
http://www.lazerbunny.com
http://www.toeaction.com

The winner will get a free redesign from Zuzana Designs and if they choose to use it will also receive free installation and 3 months free use of the Elevated X pay site content management system.

That's a whole lot of ugly, but whoever did cfnmusa.com needs a boot straight up the ass.

Yes...I am still shooting content for my website and for hire.

Tough question. I think Aria only because with a new redesign surfers might think she is updating. Right now it looks like she doesn't so why join.

lazerbunny 09-03-2009 01:20 PM

um
 
all votes are lost.
awesome show, great job!

ShellyCrash 09-03-2009 01:21 PM

So much bitching in the other thread, such a shame. I think the smaller names stood a better chance the other way around.

You pissed and moaned when you were down about how the voting system sucked, this is what you asked for.

Some people stood up for your product and things started to turn around and look better for Lazerbunny, now the old system was where it's at? Too late.

You wanted a popularity contest, now you have one. :2 cents:

I didnt say at all that I wanted a popularity contest.. I would lose if that were the case. I dont personally know ANYONE on GFY nor have I bitched or moaned. What I said is if someone says " My vote goes to Aria " then she should get the vote. If they said my vote goes to lazerbunny they should get the vote. Its pretty simple.
At this point, I dont really care.. I thought this would be fun and cool.
Like I said in the beginning, I dont ever enter contests and I certainly dont have a gang of friends on gfy. So that doesnt even make sense.

jmk 09-03-2009 01:33 PM

Go Aria!

If someone thinks that the site is the best for the win and they simply state that.. and it has nothing to do with personal like or dislike shouldnt that still count? Im kind of confused honestly, and Im beginning to become annoyed with the vague value system of this contest myself. Why do people have to write a disertation on what they think at all? They were asked for their opinion based on looking at the sites, and their initial reaction. most of the people that voted for my site, I don't know at all. So it would be nearly impossible for them to have voted because i once paid for their drink or was nice to them at some webmasters convention. I think this is kind of .. well a stupid rule.

I dunno, sounded like bitching to me.

I don't know anyone personally at Zuzana designs but I thought this was a really nice contest and not only a great way to drum up some publicity for their design firm but also a win / win for whatever program they wind up working with. I thought it was really shitty that instead of just being cool and going along for the ride 2 of the 5 programs pitched a bitch fit because they didn't like the voting system.

You wanted a system where anyone can vote w/o giving their opinion as to why a site is more or less deserving, now you have it and you're still not happy. :disgust

TwisterPro 09-03-2009 01:53 PM

This contest has became a fucking joke.

to make myself clear.. i said...

i think that is pretty simple.
quite simple actually.

Zuzana Designs 09-03-2009 03:13 PM

It saddens me greatly that what started as a fun FREE contest seems to have so many people upset. What seems to be getting lost here is that the contestants are out nothing if they don't win. If you don't win this contest, you aren't out a single thing and you'll go on having the same site you've had. I'm amazed that I have gotten iqc's about how upset some people are or how we are voting the wrong way or how this contest is a joke. It's almost as everyone thinks they are owed this design and CMS and that we are somehow taking it away from. That is not the case and the chance to win something is better than not having a chance at all.

The rules were very specific. They were made bold and a different color that each person who voted needed to give a reason why. We didn't want everyone to just hit up their friends on icq for a vote and wanted everyone to have a fair chance of winning. Since several people privately and publically complained about that system, we made it a public vote. Let the contest run itself and then no one has a reason to complain about it.

To those of you who appreciate the chance to get completely free work, at no loss to you at all, I wish you lots of luck and I can't wait to work the winner of the vote ending next Wednesday.

AmeliaG 09-03-2009 03:21 PM

Again, Aria Giovanni is gorgeous and I'd love to be able to promote a newer leak-free tour of her, so my vote goes to her.

Teh Ashley 09-03-2009 03:22 PM

I voted aria!

Shoplifter 09-03-2009 03:27 PM

E. None of them

I agree. Aria makes enough money to have her own site rebuilt. The other sites should be the ones that get the makeover. Voting for someone because they are nice or hot is plain stupid. :2 cents:

Except that this is the Adult Industry, and the prize is getting a porn site madeover. So hot, and nice and all those things some think are shallow all fit into place here.

This isn't a PTA Meeting to decide the color of the jungle gym.

Well said. I was surprised that the complaining continued in this poll thread even after we abandoned the rules to accommodate those who complained.

What's happened here feels like some kid pissed in the punch bowl at my party.

I guess a few people got so caught up with the idea of free stuff that they felt entitled and forgot that this contest isn't about them, it's about Elevated X and Zuzana Designs announcing a CMS and design package partnership and trying to do something fun and offer someone a free site overhaul.

Neither of us had to offer anything free. We could have just announced the deals and been done with it but I think some people get what we wanted to do and that some of the people who entered really do appreciate the chance to get $2500 worth of free services and have a brand new site as a result.

I hope at this point everyone can let the votes decide the outcome just as everyone said they wanted in the other thread and that will be the end of it. We're also looking forward to working with the winner to get them rolling with our CMS :thumbsup

J$tyle$ 09-03-2009 04:28 PM

My decision was easy. I voted for Aria.

The thread title says Vote for the pay site that has the MOST sales potential!

From purely a sales and marketing perspective, I don't believe the other sites have more potential to make sales than Aria's :2 cents:

True, but it also isn't high school.:thumbsup

A reply from Aria Herself.... mmm my inner fanboy just got happy/horny lol :thumbsup Glad to see u haven't retired, love the "extra pounds" btw .. (pun not intended)

ForrestBlack 09-04-2009 06:09 AM

I'm placing my vote for Aria, not only because she's always been super sweet and friendly, but also because so many people know of her and the gorgeous work she does. A slick new tour from Zuzana Designs would be great because I know so many people are into Aria already. It would have to be a hit, sales wise. So, on name recognition, depth of great content, positive reputation, and potential for member retention, Aria just crushes. I also think Zuzana gets what Aria is about and would make a killer tour.

AJHall 09-04-2009 10:38 AM

This isn't just a free design - it's also a redone back-end. The site that wins will be overhauled entirely and rebuilt inside and out. The end result will be a totally modernized site that's built to sell. :thumbsup

Here are the changes that will be made to the winning site:

Total Makeover Part 1) Add a CMS to give the site more features and functionality:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Encoding of videos in multiple formats for embedded on site playback or download
- Make mobile compatible video available to members
- The ability to update based on membership length, date or rotate content
- The ability to offer limited trials at different price points and show limited amounts of content
- The ability to offer limited trials at different price points to limit members to only viewing a set number of videos
- The ability for tours to update automatically
- The ability for tours to limit surfers to only viewing a set number of trailers
- Member interactivity in the form of ratings, favorites, polls, comments and private messaging
- Automatically updating calendar of updates with the option to enter events, live shows, etc.
- Integrated journal/blogging feature
- Extensive keyword tagging and advanced search options for members
- A-Z model index with model bio pages, upsells and more
- Integrated upsells for DVDs, VOD or other cash programs
- Member previews of upcoming updates to help retention

Total Makeover Part 2) Give the site a new look:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- New warning page
- Custom logo
- Main tour page design
- Join page
- Members are header, expandable middle and footer


For most of the sites involved this change will be massive. A few of the nominated sites won't be recognizable after the changeover. :)

Personally I'd love to see the end result of an overhaul of the aria and lazerbunny sites. Aria has great content and tons of it. Lazerbunny has content that's fresh and some pretty hot stuff. An overhaul of cfnm and toeaction wouldn't be as dramatic but would make them 2 of the hottest sites in their niche and those sites probably have the most selling potential within their own niche.

With all sites having exclusive content it's hard to say. It may really come down to who has the marketing abilities to take advantage of this and get the most out of their new site. :2 cents:

BVF 09-04-2009 10:41 AM

Why go through all this shit? Just pick one already.

MarcyM25 09-04-2009 11:35 AM

Aria is long overdue for a makeover!

Smiley 09-04-2009 11:45 AM

Aria....for so many reasons and on so many levels!

GUNNER 09-04-2009 02:26 PM

Aria.
Not only do I think she's most deserving, I know she'll be most appreciative as well. As if being unbelievably gorgeous, erotic, and captivating isn't enough, she's also intelligent, cultured, funny, humble, compassionate, and an AMAZINGLY good cook!

When I was in high school, my best friend was in my home economics class and we each had a cooking assignment as homework. He had to make cookies.

The next day, everyone was sharing what they made, but when I reached to his plate to get one of his cookies, he stopped me and told me not to. He leans over and says, "I beat off in the cookie dough last night, don't eat any. I'm fucking serious." :1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh

So he and I sat back and watched the entire class eat his jizz filled cookies. Watching the hot little stuck up girls eat them was the best. Never forget that day for as long as I live.

BogY_KinG 09-04-2009 05:34 PM

Aria definitely

Good story. Good thing he was your friend. Have you seen the movie Van Wilder? Similar scene but with dog jizz.

When I was 5 or 6 years old for my first entrepreneurial venture I peed in little paper cups and mixed in some dirt and tried to sell them to the neighborhood kids as "chocolate milk" but nobody would buy one.

That's when I knew I needed a real product :)

I think you're onto something here. If we'd have had a contest for the best pee or jizz eating story there would have been way less drama. :1orglaugh

Iron Fist 09-04-2009 09:45 PM

I vote for Aria because she isn't being a bitch about the contest.... how about dem apples!

That's a good friend to stop you from eating his jizz haha

I would like to think that my site http://www.lukey.com has a good sales potential. Average site conversion rate is 1:200, just need more traffic as I'm new to the biz running a paysite. Launched six months ago.

You should have gotten your site in the contest a few weeks ago. The site has a nice layout and gets you right to that join. I'm sure it converts well with the right traffic. Good luck getting more traffic :thumbsup

Just 2 more days to vote for the site you think has the MOST sales potential everyone!
