An idiot's guide to the Nude Reviews site details


Many factors go into making a quality porn site. Here at Nude Reviews, we try to keep things simple, laying out what we believe to be the basic details that every porn surfer wants and needs to know when making a purchase. Here we'll lay out these basic details, so you have the best idea possible when considering what porn to buy.

 

Update frequency

This refers to how often a website is updated. If the website is no longer updating (or it doesn't look like they are), we will mark No Recent Updates to let you know. Sometimes websites have steadily building content, but they don't label their content with upload dates – this is where Undated Updates comes into play. If a site is a part of a porn network, we may tell you that there are Daily Network Updates.

 

Exclusivity

Nude Reviews always tries to estimate just how much original content you're getting on a website. 100% exclusive means videos and photos that you can't find on any other pay site. While exclusivity is important, many sites have some, or no exclusive content – especially if it is a DVD or VOD site.

 

Number of videos

Total number of videos on a pay site. If a website offers full length videos, we count those and not episodes broken into clips. We also give you an average run time for the videos.

 

Maximum video resolution

Nude Reviews uses this detail to tell you the best quality of video you're getting from a pay site. Here we use the highest video resolution available; this does not always mean that every video on a pay site is offered in this format. Many times only newer files are available in the maximum resolution. Many sites also offer smaller sizes for slower computers.

 

Watermarks

We like to let you know if those pesky logos are marked on a pay site's video and image content.

 

Video formats

AVI = Audio Video Interleave format. Microsoft compatible.

DVD = DVD quality format.

Flash = Streaming video that you can watch on the site without downloading. Flash video is preferred over other streaming formats because you can fast forward without waiting for the entire file to load.

HD = High definition video.

MPEG = The most widely accepted format on the Internet. Playable on a Mac or PC.

POP/iPod = Files that are downloadable and optimized for a mobile device, such as an iPod, Playstation Portable  or other handheld device.

QT = Quicktime format. Mac compatible.

Real = Real Media format.

WM = Windows Media Player format.

 

Downloadable/Streaming

Downloadable videos can be saved to your hard drive. Streaming videos can be watched on the site and are good if you don't feel like waiting for a file to download, or if your slower computer cannot handle a large download – or if you just don't want porn on your home computer.

 

Download Limit & DRM

Nude Reviews lets you know if there are limitations to your download capabilities.

 

Number of pictures/Number of galleries

Here we break down the number of images available to you on a pay site. Sometimes it's clear just how many galleries there are, while other times it's easier to estimate the total number of photos offered.  If we give you a gallery count, we also estimate an average amount of pictures per gallery set.

 

Picture size/Slideshow/Zip files

This refers to how the pictures available on a website are presented to members. Nude Reviews lets you know if multiple image sizes are offered (from low to high resolition), if you can view images as a slideshow, and if you can download full sets as a zip file to your hard drive.
