Catman, I'll do my best to have those celeb domains paying you what they are worth again ;-)
We're trying to move more towards 'National Enquirer' style pricing points - and the more i think about it the better the '4 free' concept sounds. If we can work on churning over volume of signups the amount billed becomes less important.
Last night we implemented the FREE 30 minute preview with $9.95 rebill - we instantly started getting fraudulent transactions LOL Hopefully that will balance out with genuine signups over the next few days.
Most of the billing models mainstream magazines have are too low for credit cards - other options on the way.
You are right about not being able to sell things unfiltered - try throwing a few hundred thousand porn hits at mainstream celeb sites LOL
And re old pics in the tours - most of the time I wouldn't use old pics, i'd grab something from the newest cd's when I build a tour however there are so many old unpublished pics that occasionally i throw one in. For example, the pic on the front of the posh & becks tour is over a year old (of her looking pissed off with him walking behind her) - a few of the tabloid rags have used the same photo ... sometimes the archives have some real gems!!
looking forward to seeing the results of the billing tests this week
