Paedophiles love Coca-Cola. Thanks for the warning.
Gapingvoid.com, is not pornographic but sounds as if it should be, and has some pithy thoughts on blogvertising.
Despite being a made up word, and most of them taste like a mouthful of menthols, vinegar and cork to me, blogvertising has some value. Traditional advertising is dead (Email, Web and I did it. We were drunk, things got out of hand) and advertising is going through a process of valmorification.
Most adult websites are stuck in the seventies, hiding content behind tours that look like discos designed by men in floppy shirts for couples on roller-skates.
Tours are ads, and anyone born after 1950 doesn’t believe anything said by ads, the government or people born before 1950.
Samples are cool but they don’t make a tour into something else. What impresses customers is a story - a puffed-up testimonial, built on a story that sounds true told by someone you trust.
Tours don’t provide stories or dialogue. They ask you for money. LIKE THIS!!!! They’re a scary porn cliche. Does anything say “Thanks for the creditcard info, now I’m going to rob you” like a flash-laden tour?
There is a better way. Kill the ads/tours, highlight the samples and LEAVE THE SHOUTING TO OWEN MEANY. Blogs are personal and conversational which is why even corporate blogs have more character than traditional websites.
You don’t need a blog in order to learn from them. People visit blogs because they like what they see. Tours are ads you try to force viewers to read against their better judgment. People like porn and seek it out. Advertising is exactly what’s not needed.
Entertain, amuse and talk to your visitors and forget about selling to them. No one needs to be told to ‘click here’ more than once if your site’s well designed, or ‘buy now’ if they want what you have to sell. Dialogue is foreplay and ads are getting felt up by someone shouting “Where’s your money?”
Like the punchline says - be the bull that walks down the hill and fucks all the cows. (Amazingly - my uncle was actually teaching me something when he told that joke.)
If the people you’re talking to like you they’ll trust you, and might believe you and when you tell them something’s worth doing, buying or checking out.
