Professional Thumbs VS Amateur Thumbs

digital2 · 2006-04-26, 07:49 PM

I,m seeing those days that I,m getting more sales with amateur thumbs(I add more brightness) that with professional thumbs(less brightness and more contrast)...I know that thumb with more quality=more clicks ..but it is also =more sales ..Surfer see perfect thumbs and associate it with classic porn... what do you think?

Depends on the niche you are promoting and the site you're promoting. For example, pornstars have the high quality pics with all the airbrushing. The thumbs should match. Now if you are promoting an amateur, everyday type girl/woman site, the images are not necessarily always perfect and airbrushed like the pornstar sites. The thumbs should then match the site and niche you are selling.

It is the first time I am using a tgp sript, st5 for adding galleries, creating thumbs and managing updates and so on. Still have a lot to learn but it does great thumbs, better ones than photoshop. And if the gallery pics are hq then the thumbs will be hq too, if amateurish then it just brightens them up a bit. Setting can be changed, updated but I am using the defaults it came with. I have never liked too professional looking thumbs.. they may get tons of clicks but less sales.

Just my 2 cents worth.

I don't know if its going to mean more sales... but I noticed the same effect a few months ago myself and starting brightening up about 70% of the pics I chose. Some are ok they way they are.
