Nudist: Guide To Our Nudist Magazine

With the growing interest in nudism comes a general interest in simple nudity, nudist or not. Our daily submissions of general nudity (non-nudist) pictures have grown dramatically, so much so that for some time we’ve been publishing special galleries dedicated to non-traditional “nudism” that supplement our Casual Home Nudity and Mobley’s Review portfolios.

Where do you put a picture of a naked teen goofing off in the hot tub with friends? Or prancing in panties in a goofy hat? Or flirting? Well, in Candid Nudity. It’s free to subscribers.

This “blog” is to offers an added dimension to “A Nudist Magazine on the Web“, online since 1996, and one of the best resources on the Web for nudist pictures featuring real people enjoying a clothing optional lifestyle.

Within the confines of a typical webpage, it’s often difficult to fully realize the texual explorations intended–web pages are built primarily for search engines, and thus, somewhat stilted. If a particular theme is intended, wordiness (often useful) dilutes the message. Therefore, new webpages will now link to topics in this blog for further explanation or illumination, sidebar discussions and the like.

I think we sometimes lose subscriptions because we’re so cheap. Here’s an explanation that may help you understand how we can offer a fully-fledge nudist magazine so reasonably:

Most nudist sites are “gated” using a billing agent (such as CCBILL) , which offer no added incentives for surfers to subscribe (whereas we ally with CyberAge, and their content is available to you at no cost, independent of our own sites). If you purchase a subscription to a CCBILL gated site, you are subscribing to a single site (whereas we offer our nudist magazine, “Casual Home Nudity” and “Mobley’s Review” plus access to CyberAge). Also, that single site usually costs $19.95 per month, where we charge that for a whole year’s access.

Most website owners using CCBILL will offer “affiate programs” to other website owners to promote their site. Typically half to sixty percent of proceeds will go to affiliates if they sell a membership. Hence, half or more of typical subscription income is lost whenever an affiliate captures a sale.

To encourage affiliates to promote their sites, nudist website owners increase their monthly subscription fees to enable them to offer financial incentives to promoters (who typically operate “toplists”, those sites that often feature a hundred links or more, hoping you’ll eventually buy a subscription (or membership) to something.

A site charging $29.95 per month doesn’t necessarily offer more content than a site charging $19.95 per year–the high cost simply covers their marketing expenses, which we don’t have.

A site that copies a lot of our pages, for example, charges the $29.95 per month, but hasn’t updated since February of this year. At any given moment, we can honestly say our latest update occurred twelve hours ago. So go figure.

We will be trying a CCBILL program later this year as an alternative for subscribers. Pricing will be somewhat higher than our current schedule (probably $29.95 per year) to cover increased billing expenses.
