What's the best way to sell Adult Revenue Service sites? I've got some pretty lousy ratios with them and wonder if anyone can offer tips on how to promote them and get better conversions.

A few of my friends are actually doing better with the BYOT sites than the actual ARS paysites themselves, ill try and get someone at ARS to post some info in this thread for you on Monday when they get in the office :)

Interesting, I was talking to someone else and they said the same thing.
It would seem that the program would do something about their regular site tours...they convert really badly....and it says something when amateur produced BYOT's convert better than the tours of the program...
Unless of course, that's just part of the formula that helps their console sales. :)
Amateur designed sites have ALWAYS sold better than professional looking sites, not just for ARS but for every single webmaster program/paysite i have ever promoted.Quote:

Agree. And the program certainly knows that. So why not have more amateur tours designed....unless of course the low conversion numbers on the tours feeds the console conversions.

Its the same reason programs launch hundreds and thousands of FHGs, most of them never make any sales for affiliates but, for whatever reason, affiliates like having them in a program LOL

Their HSN gay cams sell very well for me.
the best selling BYOTs for me were very professional in appearance - not amateurish at all - and performed much better than the ars sites. i suspect it's because ars has designers do their sites, and designers don't usually understand the site niches or test their designs to see what sells. the guys who do their own byot's actually know and understand the niches they're promoting and how to market it.
