Who knows how to make money off them?
Send the exit link to somewhere like Sedo :)

Or send them to Patti's site (www.manofmuscle.com). It's PG, no age verification required.
Nobody clicks the exit link because they don't want to see porn, they click it on accident. I do not even provide an exit link on warning pages for that reason.
How do you accidently click on a link that clearly states 'click here to exit'? :uhoh:Quote:

The other issue is, to the extent that warning pages provide a reasonable degree of protection (showing good faith in not blasting porn to people who don't want it), I wonder if removing an exit link decreases the value of the warning page. A page where you have no choice but to click "enter" (other than, well, closing the browser or entering another URL) would seem to me to somewhat defeat the value of having it in the first place.
I'll disagree on that. I have had this discussion with others on other boards too, and so a few years back we did a little test. Rather than doing the standard exit link to google or disney, I started throwing the exit traffic to a mainstream site where I got paid... Now I don't get rich on it, sure couldn't afford Paco's latest ski purchases for example, but it is a nice few nights out on the town each month from those sales.Quote:

It really isn't just an 'accidental click'
I strongly believe in using entry pages or "splash" pages. I suggest that there be no images on them, and if any are used, only images that could be found in the Kmart circulars [swimsuit stuff]. There should be an entry link that follows a warning that entrance is to an adult site and that the surfer affirms he is of legal age. You can and should have an exit link, and going to a place like Patti's muscle boys site is a good idea because it may generate a sale or two where otherwise there is no chance of income. You can also put up links to places like netnanny or cybersitter if you have complied with their requirements.
A warning page is not age verification [there is no such thing on the Internet as Age Verification, because a surfer can always use someone else's info and you cannot inspect their ID like a bouncer at a bar] but it does show a good faith effort.
I link the exit buttons to another splash page on another domain I own, in a belief it will help me with the spiders, but I must say very few people click that, and I could see 45% of the once that do, do it on accident. Some viewers are just like drunken monkeys.

I will post a long answer later.
The warning page is part of a whole little program that I am working on.
In a nutshell over 10% of my feeder site sales come from warning pages. Maybe more. AND I am working on a program to make them more dynamic to take that % and try and get it up..
Will post later have to talk to the gossamer guys. Grrrr. I hate spending money.
That is an excellent idea and a good way to make some extra money.Quote:

The enter and exit links on warning pages are almost always the most prevalent text or images on the page, and most of the time they are equal in general appearance. Sometimes people go for them without really thinking and click exit on accident.
Obviously there are some warning page designs that make this mixup less common, such as huge enter text with small exit text below.
A problematic enter/exit design is no doubt JuicyGoo's. The exit text is actually larger than the enter text. I'll bet more than a few people glance and see the word enter bolded out and click that line... then end up at Google.
Makes sense now you explain it.Quote:
