Interview: Adult Players’ Club Sites

Hey, guys and gals! Here's another porn site webmaster interview from the webmaster of Adult Players' Club.

Question: Could you share with us how did you come into the adult genre?
Answer: I had this friend years ago named Chris who was/is an avid porn surfer. He would be on his computer day and night looking only at porn. I saw him buying memberships to sites like crazy, so I figured if there are more people like Chris in the world then I can be a rich man pretty easily.

Question: What made you decide to start an adult site?
Answer: I guess it was more curiosity than money at first. I wanted to see what the industry was about. Once I learned the industry, I was set on taking advantage of the tons and tons of money to be made in it.

Question: We did a review on MILF Challenge. Do you operate any other sites?
Answer: I operate many sites in many different niches. I am constantly working on new sites too. Here are some: AllAccessReality, AssMunchersCreampieSurprise, FantasyHandjobs, FemalePOV, GangBangDivas, HoodHunter, MyGayRoomates, PussyAssMouth, ShockingParties, TGirlAdventures, TGirlHandjobs, TGirlIsland, ThroatJobs, TGirlsOnGirls and more. I have quite a few new sites coming out very soon.

Question: That's quite a number! So, what are your insights regarding the niches you cover?
Answer: I love almost all of them. I have very diverse tastes, though few would admit a curiosity of a site like TGirls On Girls. I'm completely straight, but every man has curiosity.

Question: The competition in online porn industry is getting tighter everyday. Just what makes your sites different from your competition?
Answer: Our sites are 100% unique. We don't buy content from 100 (or even one) producer that has sold the same content to a thousand other webmasters. Our content has never been seen before, and it will only be seen on our sites. Not to mention the fact that the Member's Areas are completely packed with content.

Question: How often do you shoot photo shoots?
Answer: A lot. Probably about 5 times a week.

Question: Have you worked with different photographers?
Answer: Yes. I enjoy networking with others in the same line of work.

Question: What about the themes? How do you come up with the story lines?
Answer: I come up with the stories. It just seems natural really. Like telling a story - what's going to happen next and all. Generally they just come to me. I'll be getting my mail and I'll see a couple fighting and an idea will pop in my head. That sort of stuff.

Question: Another notable feature of your site is the models. How do you choose them?
Answer: Some from emails I get from people who visit the sites, others from model sites. It's mostly word-of-mouth though.

Question: With a number sites under your name, I'm sure you encounter different members. What are the best things about your members?
Answer: Most of them are honest, cool people that don't fuck around with you.

Question: Is there anything you dislike about them?
Answer: I don't like the members that contact me for personal info (address, phone number, etc.). That's just not right.

Question: Any future plans that you want to share with us?
Answer: Too much. I have so many exciting things planned. I'm just taking it slow, doing everything right.

A day in the life of a porn reviewer

Hey-ho, porn fans!  I thought I'd tell you how I go about doing porn reviews for AdultReviews.net.  When I receive an assignment, I briefly look at the tour page, and then I head inside.  I know some reviewers may study the tour at first, but I like to save it for last.  That way, after I've been inside the members' area, I can say for sure whether the tour promises were upheld or not. 

I quickly check out how easy the navigation is.  I think anyone who has read more than a couple of my reviews knows I love simple navigation - lol!  I always mention it in my first or second sentence.  I don't think anyone should have to spend much time figuring out how to view all the content within the paysite.

Next I check out the quality of the content.  Notice I said quality of the content. We're all turned on by different things, so a reviewer might be evaluating a porn site that may not be something that turns him or her on. However, as a porn reviewer, you need to overlook such things. It's all subjective anyway, but what is not subjective is the quality. Are the pictures clear and crisp? Does the porn site offer a slide show option or zip download for all its photos? What about the videos? Do they buffer or download quickly? Are they offered in more than one format? This is important because some people are still on dialup, while others have new fangled computers with super duper fast connection speeds. Is the screen a nice viewing size, without compromising the clearness of the video? Or is the movie only clear when it plays in a tiny screen?

I also check to see if the niche inside is what's promised on the tour. For example, if the paysite claims it's a blowjob site, yet most of the content is handjobs, then that's not going to get a good rating from me. The handjob content could be great quality, but the tour is doing false advertising if it doesn't accurately reflect what's inside.

So, as you can see, a porn reviewer's personal taste doesn't come into play. We evaluate based upon tour promises, content quality, and ease of use. We pass what we find on to you, dear porn fan, so you can make a more informed choice when it comes to your porn site purchases. Yep, it's a dirty job, but somebody's gotta do it!

Pictures on a porn paysite

Pictures.  Let's face it, porn revolves around pictures.  That's why it's so important for a paysite to have good quality pictures, or it'll fail.  The photos should be crisp and clear, not blurry.  Sure, there may be a couple photos here and there that may not be up to snuff, but at least 98% of the photos in every gallery should be crystal clear. 

In order to thoroughly enjoy these photos, I also think porn sites should have a slide show option.  Porn surfing is often a one handed activity, but the slide show option would further enhance most paysite members' enjoyment.  Who wants to have to stop and click to the next picture with lubricant-sticky fingers?  Ideally, a paysite should have a slide show option where a porn fan can choose the timing of the slides.  I understand some porn sites are new and may not be able to afford a web programmer to set up a slide show.  If that's the case, then I hope they make it easier for the paysite members by having a "previous" and "next" link to the rest of the pictures in the gallery.  I've seen some porn sites without that option; this is definitely not user friendly for a porn fan. 

The zip download option is another key feature for a pictures.  Many members want to enjoy the photos well after their membership has expired.  The ease of downloading all photos at once in a zip file cannot be stressed enough.  If paysite members love a particular photo set and/or model, they don't want to have to spend time saving most, if not all, the photos in a gallery.  They will remember the user friendly paysites with the zip download option and will more than likely continue their membership or rejoin in the future.

A lot of paysites offer various pixel sizes for each photo.  I like that option, although the paysite needs to ensure that all sizes have crystal clear quality.  On the other hand, I'm not sure how user friendly 2000 or 3000 pixel sized pictures are.  I don't particularly care to see my whole computer screen filled up with one eyebrow - lol!  But I suppose if a porn user has a fetish for gyno, asshole, or nipple shots, these bigger pixel sizes would be quite welcome.  Whopper pixel sizing fills up their whole computer screen with their fetish!

Speaking of size, I think thumbnails should be bigger on a lot of paysites.  Many of them are so tiny you can't see what the model looks like.  If a paysite only has room for tiny thumbnails, then they should just show a face shot.  Many porn users like a pretty face almost as much as they do a hot body.  There's no sense in putting a full - or mostly full - body shot on a thumbnail the size of a postage stamp or smaller.   How can you see what the model looks like?  I don't know why these porn site don't just make more pages of thumbnails, instead of trying to squeeze a bunch of these eensy weensy pictures on a gallery page.  What's the reasoning behind very small thumbnails?  Is it to make a gallery page look like it's full of a whole bunch of content?  Well, 50 thumbnails are 50 thumbnails, no matter how many pages you span them across.  I think it mostly frustrates porn fans, because we waste our time clicking on models we may have no interest in.
