Monkey Talk, The Blog

Just in time for the hottest selling season Bonobo Cash is proud to announce the release of an all new Videoboys interface optimized to SELL. Since the launch of this new version, just a few weeks ago, the results have exceeded all of our expectations in every category. Not just in sales but in customer appreciation as well.

For affiliates, perhaps the most important changes have come to the Videoboys tour area. We’ve designed every inch of our new layout to be irresistible to the porn consumer. The beautiful high-resolution graphics on the new header slideshow are incredibly eye catching. The slide show features our three most recent updates in rotation as the main slide, keeping our tour page looking fresh week after week.

Best sellers up top

We’ve taken the proven top sellers from our Videoboys scenes over the past 3 years and put them front and centre. New viewers need to know about these great scenes. They’re not recent but it never hurts to remind returning viewers about these great moments in Videoboys history.

A completely revamped tour page

The index of all the great Videoboys scenes has been given a facelift with new large size thumbnails in the 16:9 aspect ratio. With these hot looking hi-resolution thumbs its hard not to click.

One click on any update on the index page brings the viewer to a stunning preview page. The poster frame fills the screen with a sexy high-resolution image that leads to a steamy video preview. The previews, just like the full length updates in the members area, are now all shot in high quality HD format. A compelling description of the scene, an outline of the many viewing options available, and six exciting preview pics are all part of this new high converting preview page.

The changes to the tour are certainly driving those initial sales. But what’s the new Videoboys doing to keep those signups recurring? We listened to what our subscribers were telling us and we’ve added the functions and features that they wanted.

Delivering exceptional video on every screen, big or small

First, all of our new updates are shot in high quality HD and play back in near DVD quality. And we’ve enabled automatic platform detection, allowing us to present HTML5 video players to mobile devices, and Flash players to desktop and laptop users.

We also enabled HTTP streaming (a form of video streaming) to allow scrolling in video playback. Viewers can now skip to any point in the video and watch, even parts that are not downloaded yet.

In addition to our original download options we added some new ones that are making customers VERY happy. Our large, high quality .mp4 download will playback in most standards-based video players and our “portable” download in .m4v format is specifically targeted to those millions of ipod and iphone users. And last but not least we’ve added picture downloads. One click gets the full gallery of our high-resolution pictures as well as our HD screen captures.

Instant shift in key metrics

Videoboys, with all it’s great new features, is adding up to a significant increase in conversions after only a few weeks, and this increase is observed in all the areas we monitor:

And with the stunning quality of the video and so many viewing options, we’re confident these new sales will recur over and over.

Starting this week, we’re adding a new feature to our growing list of affiliate promotional tools. In the press pack for each update take a look at our “collage” of the photo set. This is specifically designed to save bloggers time. We’ve put together the best pictures of each photo set in a format that’s well suited for most blog templates. Check it out in the current and future press packs, available in our Advertising Toolbox.

We’re in the mood for celebration! To mark the release of our new Advertising Toolbox, we’d like to offer you a bump in payout. From Thursday July 1st to Sunday July 4th, every affiliate’s payout will be automagically increased to 80%.

To make the fun last, this increase will be recurring indefinitely. For every customer you refer this weekend, you get 80% of its initial sale and subsequent rebills.

If you’re not yet a Bonobo Cash affiliate, hop over to our Toolbox and register for an account. If you’re already registered, you have nothing to do to profit from this promo – sit back, grab our best ads from the Toolbox and enjoy the promo.

Thanks again for being a Bonobo Cash affiliate!

You asked for it, you got it.

We’re very excited to announce that we have released a new version of our Advertising Toolbox. We are calling this one the “You asked for it, you got it” version because it is based on your best suggestions for new or enhanced features. Here is what’s new in the Advertising Toolbox starting today and why it’s important to you.

New Easy to Use Interface

A big change you’ll notice right away is the sleek new interface. Based on your suggestions, we’ve redesigned the Toolbox so that you can find the tools you need fast. We’ve recategorized all our tools in a more semantic way, introduced numerous filters to help you drill-down, and made everything generally more accessible.

Of course if you’re in a leisurely mood and just want to browse the scenes page by page, you are more than welcome to do that too. Or if it’s a specific model you’re after, the search box is there for your convenience. The new interface is designed to let you work the way you want to work.

One-Click convenience is now the standard for the Toolbox. Need a press pack or preview video clip of a particular model or scene? One click on the download icon and the zip file is ready to deposit on your hard drive.

Need the link for a hosted video gallery, a hosted photo gallery or the preview page on our tour?  One click on the clipboard icon and you can copy the link to your clipboard. Maybe you’re not sure if it’s just the right gallery for you and you want to look it over before you bother with downloading it. One click the preview icon and voila, the gallery in question appears in your browser.

Hosted FLVs and Embeddable Videos

For quite some time now our popular preview clips have been available as hosted video galleries. While our galleries are convenient for most of our affiliates, some of you required a bit more flexibility and asked us to provide source files. You can now download these source files in FLV format to display them as you like. Or let us handle the bandwidth and use the handy javascript embed code to bring our clips straight to your web pages.

Export Content to Multiple Formats

Power users can now get most of our tools in bulk, by exporting them to quick and easy formats. Supported formats include plain text, CSV and XML. We’ll be refining this functionality based on your comments, so don’t be shy and use that “Contact us” link on the top right of the Toolbox.

Visit the Advertising Toolbox

As usual, you can get to our Toolbox by clicking the Login button at the top right of this website, or by visiting http://toolbox.bonobocash.com. And if you’re not already signed up to access the Toolbox, go ahead and open a new account – it’s fast and easy.

Please take a moment to look through these great new tools. We hope they will help to make your work as an affiliate easy and even fun. As always, if you have any questions, comments, suggestions or concerns, you can contact us directly or visit our support portal for more info.

Thanks for being a Bonobo Cash affiliate and we trust you’ll have a prosperous year.

The Bonobo Cash website Squirtz celebrated a milestone Monday, November 30th. With our update Monday Squirtz now boasts 400 models. That’s a lot of content.

And to mark this special occasion we had to make sure we had someone special for our Mr. 400. We chose Luda not only for his exciting personality but let’s face it. He is damn hot. With that ripped body and an ass that you could bounce quarters off of, Luda is sure to be VERY popular.

And since we think he is so damn pretty to look at, and since the high rez pictures for Videoboys and Jeremy Roddick seem to be very popular with many bloggers, we added some really nice high rez pics of Luda in his press pack. Get it here.

Yup. What others consider to be a dreadful straight-out-of-hell traffic leak, we release as a feature.

Taken, this fear of The Newsletter is easily justified when you look at the precedents set by some companies, but taking it from a upsetting leak to a valuable sales tool wasn’t that hard. In fact, we are very surprised that no other affiliate programs have offered this so far.

So here we are, very excited to announce this great addition to our collection of marketing tools.

For those of you who wish to dig in, we’ve put up a great deal of information about this tool on our knowledge base. And for the super-busy type, here’s what you need to know:

• You have nothing to do to profit from our newsletters. Nada. Starting today, any affiliate-referred visitor who subscribes to our mailing list is automatically tracked by the system.
• Once a customer subscribes to our mailing list, your sales lead will never expire unless that subscriber unsubscribes.
• This tool is available on all our websites (jeremyroddick.com, videoboys.com and squirtz.com)
• We send our subscribers bi-weekly newsletters filled with recent updates, new website features, free goodies, promotions and articles.

Thanks as always for your continued support and we hope you enjoy the new feature!
