When it comes to paysites my feeling is: join, jpon, join! Meaning, get them to the Join page ASAP. We sometimes forget that surfers are...ready?.....human beings! They have the capacity to hit the 'back' button (believe it or not). So get those puppies to the Join ASAP.
A study done last year shows the average surfer (porn and mainstream) visit 150 web pages a day, on average. These may be the same site visited many times (hello GFY!) but that's a lot of clicking around. My stats also show most people do not spend more than 3 mins on a site (max) so surfers are making decisions FAST these days. Do some bookmark and take time to think about joining? Sure. But my thinking is when you have that person on your site make sure you funnel them to the Join with every click. This means every image goes to the Join. Want a bigger pic to wank off to? JOIN MOTHERFUCKER!!
So it depends on your Join page and how enticing it is. Try it, test it, rinse and repeat. Good luck!!
