Refering to 12 pops and 10 picture sets is adult in 1998. Point out one big straight program that fits this criteria in 2006/2007?
Basschick:
so your conclusion is that straight operators are not interested in the gay operators?
I happen to know quite a few numbers of larger operators and your argument is that surfers are unhappy. If this is the case it would result in lower retention/member value per ?
More then ever the big guys are working hard on content, they all realize that content is king. More content = higher conversion = more dollars.
Problem with the straight market is a low barrier of entry. $ 750 for ccbill/epoch, some hosting and some content does the trick. Content is more widely available and pretty much any argument there is factor 8.
8* more straight guys, 8* more content, 8* more surfers, 8* more cash hence 8* more clowns and cowboys.
On your own muscle site you use the word 'free' on the tour. After the real free trial was dropped (years ago) numbers showed that 'free tour' would increase conversion.
Reason being: surfers would get confused.
You don't find this deceptive?
