Topbucks, Bubble Butts Galore just popped a pop under when I visited the site, and when I closed the pop-under, I got three more before the chain was exhausted. And TopBucks certainly isn't the only one, I just don't have the time to dig around, but I'm guaranteeing you that if I surfed straight porn for one hour, I could bring you a whole list of offenders.

And why do you think gay sites retain better? We generally don't jerk surfers around and we expend more energy creating quality content. If you look at Gay Blowjob Auditions, which is run by Platinum Bucks, the content you see in the preview area is pretty much what you get. The rest of their member's area is plugins. When I reviewed the site I couldn't find anywhere that they ever update the site. This is an example of what I was talking about with big straight programs mismanaging their sites. Imagine a surfer's reaction if this is the first "gay" porn site they have ever joined. Every other real gay site on the Net now has to overcome this surfer's hesitancy -- he doesn't want to get ripped off again. (Oh and btw, Platinum Bucks also popped a pop-under when I visited their Gay Blowjob Auditions. Their Hardcore Sweethearts, a straight site, also popped a pop under. Granted it wasn't a chain.)

"Basschick:
so your conclusion is that straight operators are not interested in the gay operators?"

They're only interested in finding out why our sites retain so well, but when we try and tell them, they laugh and go on their merry way doing what they always do because afterall they're rolling in millions. And all they need to do to increase sales is shoot 8 sets with chicks fucking miniature porcelain dwarfs and say, "Thousands of pics inside" and whoosh! away they go, thousands more surfers duped into thinking they're getting thousands of pics of chicks fucking porcelain dwarfs.

As far as I can see the straight model runs like this: throw up three new sites a week, take the initial hit, don't update them very much at all, let them run their course, and then, retire them or leave them up to capture all the new traffic that hasn't been duped yet. When the rebilling and new sales drop off enough, kill them completely.

btw fabian, do you work for Klixxx?
