YNOT – Pay site-automation software developer Elevated X has released a new tube-style tour plug-in for its content management system. The tube-tour system is plug-and-play and allows any Elevated X version 3.2 user to publish tours, assign content and batch-create video screen captures for mouseover animation simply by checking a few boxes on the interface. No coding is required, according to the company.“We’ve stayed true to our promise to keep customers up to date with the current trends and offer them multiple updates every year,” co-founder and Chief Executive Officer AJ Hall said. “Surfers are getting more used to these layouts, and we expect tube tours to be a huge advantage for our customers.

“I can’t predict the future of pay sites but I believe we’ll see a number of new business models emerging, among them the use of tube-style front ends that up-sell premium interactive members areas,” Hall added. “From a marketing and [search engine optimization] standpoint, the use of multiple tours and tours with depth and vast numbers of pages is critical. If pay-site owners stand a chance of competing for free traffic, they need to cast the biggest net possible and maximize their sales. Transparent tours and tube-style tours are the fastest and easiest way.”

The tube-style tour adds to the product’s list of features that includes member interactivity, automatic video encoding, a free-hosted gallery generator, all-access-pass network management, automated tour management, DVD catalog management, banner and ad rotation, limited-trial and free-trial areas, and iPad and mobile pay site generation.
