sitting at 1000 hits daily

[TightTeela]

i run www.tightteela.com and i'm sitting at about 1000 hits daily, wondering if there are others out there with new sites and what your daily hits are, and if they are much higher than mine, any advice on what i could try?

[Preacher]

I'm no expert, but I think you need to be a little more agressive with your affiliate program. If you don't have a traffic source prior to launching your program, then a good place to get traffic would be your affiliates.

That being said, on your back-end (through Epoch) you have no hosted galleries and no banners. It makes it difficult for your affiliates to push hits to you with no tools to work with.

Designs for gallery templates aren't that expensive and Epoch would even handle the affiliate code passing on those.

Those aren't gaurenteed solutions, but it's a good place to start. I hope that helps. :)

Oh, and a webmaster referral program wouldn't hurt either. You can set that up in Epoch as well. Offer like a 5% bonus if your affiliate refers more affiliates and that could help build your affiliate army. :D

[Maj. Stress]

I'm no expert, but I think you need to be a little more agressive with your affiliate program.
Make that a lot more aggressive with the ENTIRE program.

Teela,
As Preacher mentioned, you have zero promo material for webmasters to promote your site. Any attempt to get promo material from you results in an email saying to get it from the site. How is any Webmaster supposed to do that without signing up for a membership? That’s not going to fly with to many webmasters.

Your program is revshare and webmasters want to see lots of rebilling. Now this is just my opinion but I don’t think your site will keep members longer than a month. From what I have seen, you only update the site with new movies 2 times a month. I’m guessing once a week or more would be better.

You also need more interaction with your members. If you want to retain them you have to interact. I would suggest doing a live web cam show for about an hour at least once a week. Talk to them. Let them get to know you and you get to know them. Give them a little sex toy action and keep them drooling. Get some suggestions for upcoming movies that they would like to see.

I could ramble on some more but I think you see where this is going. Time to get busy and market your site. :)

[TightTeela]

both of you, thanks for the advice

[Tommy]

I would send you a little traffic if you had some promotion materials

I have gone to the signup page a few times but ........

[TightTeela]

i am going to be busting my ass over the next while to get all the promo things i need, and as maj.stress pointed out, yeah there has been times when updates were slow and/or delayed, however there has been 4 video updates this month so far, and in total there are currently 10 picture sets and 40 videos, so things are moving along. and tommy thanks for your help as well.

[Ramster]

Hosted Galleries! You need those for Tommy and others to list and that will get your traffic up.

[LowryBigwood]

What everyone else already said (promo materials) and also answering your emails from webmasters who want to promote your site. I sent one email when I first saw your program asking about promo, some guy replied to get what i needed out of members area. Then, I replied asking for username/pw to get promo but never heard anything back.

[Tommy]

its a little early for numbers but
I signed up yesterday and threw up a rotating text link, really just to help a pretty girl out. I wasnt expecting anything

BUT so far...
in a little less then 24 hours or so, i am 2 in 288 ... not bad,

[Bobc01]

No SEO then?

[Tommy]

hosted gallerys arent gonna really do anything for me

i got so many gallerys in my database adding 30 or 100 gallerys is like spitting in the ocean

its hard to premote small sites

[TightTeela]

tommy thats awesome, thank you. anyone else, i am working on movie fhg's now

[walrus]

Since I'm the blog whore anyway....

As Maj. Stress said, interaction is the key both with members and surfers.

Therefore I'd recommend a blog. A daily journal into your life whether boring or chock full of nasty details from your last members area shoot.

[Beaver Bob]

yea you should start a blog where you talk about what you did that day and whats in your site for members.. like when you do cam shows. put up little picture samples on it. make it available to your affiliates.

[tony]

Give some promo materials ( banners and some free content ) and I will be more than happy to send some traffic to your site ;-)

[Tommy]

you guys need to cut her a bit of a break on the promo materials
I think she is still working a full time job and since she wasnt born rich I beleive she doesnt really have much money or time left over for promo materials

think about when you guys started out and you had to juggle paying for hosting and rent, food and car repairs. stuff tends to happen slowly

i was really turned off by the lack of promo materials etc etc
but when ever i see a webmaster in this position i always think back to when I was fixing elevators and was struggling to get my sites going

I am sort of shocked at how good the site does convert. for now just do what I did and throw up a few text links and see what comes in the mail

[TightTeela]

you guys are welcome to pm for passes for the time being if needed, and yeah its a part time job i work at as well, but i am getting promo stuff done, first up is movie fhg's since thats what i get asked the most for, anything specific, again pm me and i'll add it to my list for you

[picXX]

anything specific, again pm me and i'll add it to my list for you

Dinner on saturday? |waves|

[Simon]

Others may be able to advise you better on this, but you may want to start with more picture galleries than movie galleries. I'm suggesting this mostly because if you wind up with a lot of TGP/MGP sites listing your movie galleries, you could wind up with a much larger bandwidth bill than you're used to.

One option might be to have the usual free hosted photo galleries and then offer just the templates for movie galleries which webmasters can download along with downloading some of your movie clips. That way anyone who really wants to use movies can do that, but they'd be hosting the movie clips themselves.

Hey Tommy,

Can you give us an update on how well the site is converting for you? I put up some links yesterday and will soon send some more traffic her way...

[Licker4U]

I signed up, looked around a bit and exited the site. Now I can't find the webmaster area. Is there a link somewhere on your main page that I missed? All I see is the join link, e-mail support and billing support links. Maybe I'm just old...

Nevermind, I got the e-mail with my affiliate info and a link to the webmaster area. |pokefun|Licker4U

[TightTeela]

yeah simon, i need more pictures as well, i don't know why, but i get into doing the videos more, i'm guessing just because there's more interaction, and i want to get in better shape, maybe bigger boobies :)

and pixx, i work at a restuarant, if your in town, you can drop by, if you come by the apartment, its usually xbox time or doobie time.

[Beaver Bob]

I was going to suggest you get more pics for your members area. If nothing else they are great for promo content. I took a good look around, I have a few other suggestions I'll pm you later.

[papagmp]

Thanks Tommy for reminding those of us that still have two irons in the fire that everyone started somewhere. I’ll add TightTeela to my promo list tonight. |thumb

[Tekster]

TightTeela: What happened to the ccbill affiliates?

Started promoting the site, made some galleries, free sites and some links on one site, all using the ccbill code. This is close to one year ago, maybe 10 months, I got a pass to get content from the members area, and use it for promotion. Now, it looks like the ccbill is not even an option, and I know the pass to members area was disabled quite some time ago. Checking my ccbill account, there are still hits sent daily.

Anyway, I am wandering what happened to the old affiliates using the ccbill codes?

[Tekster]

Looks like the old ccbill codes are transfered to epoch. I just checked and got 2 sales 1:334.

How can we get some promo material, I would love to make some more free sites and galleries.

[NY Jester]

yeah simon, i need more pictures as well, i don't know why, but i get into doing the videos more, i'm guessing just because there's more interaction, and i want to get in better shape, maybe bigger boobies :)

Well, you could kill two birds with one stone. I mean why not get someone to take pics, while the other is videoing? Seems like a rational place to start taking pics doing what you love best.!

J-

|jester|

[TightTeela]

tekangel, i'm still using ccbill, so any of your sales should still be valid, you must have missed it, but i send out emails for all affiliates letting them know they also have a epoch log in as well, pm if you need your info

[TightTeela]

ny jester, i've asked most people i know if they'd wanna come operate a camera for me, but everyone bails, or fuck it, i don't know why, maybe they don't like looking a pretty girls

[Beaver Bob]

it can be done with one person. do the pics first but the dude doesn't cum. then film the scene, then take pics of the cumshot afterwards. its better that way, you dont have someone snapping pics in the background while you are fliming. thats what we do anyways..

and teela, dont worry about your boobs. they dont need to be bigger, most of your members probably LIKE the fact that you have smaller breasts. The guys who are pulling out their credit cards to join your site are most likely that type of surfer.

I agree on both of Beaver Bob's points - but your guy needs to have a bit of control and be able to keep it up while shooting stills. When we can, we shot the intro on stills, then shoot it again on video. Then we shoot a few stills at every major position, scene change, or if I think we need a few.

As a photographer (and a bit of a pervert) as apposed to a videographer, (is that a word?) I do however love to see a stream of molten cum, in 12million pixel clarity, frozen halfway through it's journey towards a sexy sluts face. In practice, it seldom works so well, your shooting a scene and you want stills to match the video, the “Tom” is a bit shy (remember I shoot mostly amateur), somebody has to pick their kids up when school gets out, or I’m just tired of watching some under developed, insecure boyfriend trying to prove he’s a porn star. Give me two weeks, and I’ll have the boyfriend holding the camera while I fuck his girlfriend…… |bananna|

I do find that it takes about 1/10 the time to train someone to take decent video as it does to get someone to take decent pictures. But them I’m a picture snob – I admire a picture but I jerk off to the video….
If I'm ever in the area - I'll being my cameras...|goodidea

And DON’T FUCK WITH THE |boobies|! I make most of my money off the real tits, real woman crowd – You’re a real woman, a real fucking sexy woman, with real fucking nice tits - why fuck with them? On second thought, maybe fucking them ain’t all that bad……:D

[TightTeela]

heh it's just me, everyone says that my titties are fine, but my biggest tirn on personally is getting them played with, and i want to be able to show off some perfect , even if just perky as opposed to big, tits.

[NY Jester]

Teela I know this has been discussed here earilier, but wher can I get some promo pix/vids for promo?

Thanks

J-

|jester|

[TightTeela]

ny jester i'll msg you, and until i get everything done, your all welcome to pm with anything you might need. oh and btw, i was snapping a few pics for halloween today

[Bobc01]

ny jester, i've asked most people i know if they'd wanna come operate a camera for me, but everyone bails, or fuck it, i don't know why, maybe they don't like looking a pretty girls

Fuck sake they must be gay or something. |crazy|

You can bet your life there would be shitloads of voluteers on here, including me, shots might be a bit shakey but i'd catch the action. |thumb

[TightTeela]

wow, thank you guys already, i've noticed a major increase in just a few days.

btw, i just put up my halloween vid, so enjoy.

[LD]

heh it's just me, everyone says that my titties are fine, but my biggest tirn on personally is getting them played with, and i want to be able to show off some perfect , even if just perky as opposed to big, tits.

God Damn I love this forum. Fuck, I'm signing up now.

[TightTeela]

luscious , see thats the shit that makes me smile during the day :)

[Licker4U]

And DON’T FUCK WITH THE |boobies|!

Another vote here for leaving them alone. Personally all I need is a nipple to play with/suck so large doesn't do anything for me.

[moveup07]

I signed up as well and sent you a pm regarding promotion:)

[TightTeela]

awesome, good to hear, i'm in the middle my best sales day so far ;)

[LeRoy]

I signed up too but Epoch gave me a limpy. Is there a CCbill signup page?

[TightTeela]

http://www.tightteela.com/webmasters.html

[tigermom]

That's a great looking site there Teela. Teen really isn't my niche, but I might give your CCBill program a try.

Best of luck, dear. Thought it will be nice to have a woman posting to the thread amongst all of the drooling male webmasters :D

[GonZo]

I like the new tour. Looks like you took some advice from earlier on in the year.

Like Tommy said its hard getting started out and juggling a full time job.

Your making sales so congradulations on getting past that hurdle!

[Ryan]

I just signed up to the epoch aff program... should I have signed up using ccbill?

Conversions today are 1:104 so far...

Like others have mentioned, promo materials would be great. Even if you just offer some zip files with diff pictures and movies for people to create their own stuff.

[TightTeela]

yeah , i keep comming back here, because i can get questions answered here and advice, i also love putting my site together and trying to keep it cool and fun, basically kick ass for me and the members.

ryan, no, it's ok to use either link, from the main tour page will take you to the epoch webmaster program, or that one will take you to the ccbill, they are merged and both will work. and yeah i saw your stats today, and i've been getting good ratios myself, and i'm even more excited to see someone's whos taken a chance on promoting my site, get good ratios too. i'll do my best to retain those guys for you.

everyone else, thank you, day before yesterday was my best for cash, yesterday was the best for sales and income, and today has started out really good too. what a difference a few days make.

[Fonz]

Teela, if you can give me 4 pics from the same set I can send you some traffic if you want :)

[LD]

For some reason I cannot get my affiliate code to work. It keeps saying "Error. Missing webmaster id or site id. Account not configured properly" even though I put the info in.

[NY Jester]

Luscious I get the same error when I use my CCBILL aff id that was sent to me when I signed up for TT using CCBILL...but when I plug in my main (or first ccbill aff ID) It comes up to the tour no problem. I decided to use my epoch sign up codes for TT instead and Im awaiting a response back in regard to the error message.

Let me know if you get any info please.

Just in case you or anyone else reading this doesn't know, as long as you put any valid CCBill affiliate ID in that "XXXXXX" postion in the sample link code below, it will validate just well-enough to redirect to whatever tour page is included in the end of the link code. HOWEVER, you will NOT get credit for any signups except to the program for which you've included the CCBill affiliate ID code. Always be sure to use only the affiliate ID for the site/program to which you're sending the surfer.

luscious and ny jester, i've contacted epoch support and awaiting responses to those issues. and thanks for bringing them to my attention.

[TightTeela]

i have made an error in posting a ccbill webmaster sign-up , please do not use that link UNLESS you plan on using ccbill exclusively.

if you sign up as an affiliate from the main tour page http://www.tightteela.com/tour.htm , or at the webmaster sign up page http://www.epochstats.com/wmreg/add_program.php?program=139 , everything will work fine. sorry about any caused confusion.

I will sign up for your program and start promoting you in just a few minutes

[TightTeela]

koolkat, thats great to here, pm with anything you need

[r18net]

great site Teela, good to see something outside of the big sites. I'm pushing some traffic through my TGP to see what sort of conversions I can get from it.
