Tour vs Join?

[LincolnLog]

Anyone want to chime in about when its best to send traffic through to your sponsors Tour vs sending them directly to a join page, and how that may effect conversions. Anyone build your own tours? Any ever had a sponsor build a custom join page?

Thanks, LL

I have a custom join page on one of my sites. It makes the surfer feel as though you own the site.

I usually send my traffic to a tour, only send to the join page if you think you have already sold the site in your marketing.

Ok, im not sure how much of a tour is enough, my reviews of scenes are very lengthy...

I normally place 6 or 7 large images in the review then link to the tour that has 3 movie samples.

It would be nice to send them directly to a custom join page that allows them to sign up and see the reviewed content immediately.
