What's wrong with my site?
 

Hey what's wrong with this?

http://bondagegirls.porn-flakes.com


I thought using non-nastydollars content I'd get listed more easily, is hogtied overused too? Did I give too much away for free? Is it the windows media formatted videos?

I'm new to this game, but I'd assume that you have too many pictures per gallery. I don't know what the max number is, but I have a feeling your over it.

Newbie here too, but I'd say drop the subdomain... use folders.

The gallery pages don't at 800x600 (set the table to 750, not 800) and they also look a little haphazard & scattered.

Those thumbs are way too big
as is, they'll suck up too much bandwidth and they look very disjointed.

Also, on your warning page you have no banners...that's PRIME real estate space, that's the one page you KNOW every surfer to your site is going to see it. You also have too many recips on that wanring page, only stick with 3 or 4 recips and mirror your index page for the others.

Your banners look kind of haphazzard and don't really jump out at me...get rid of them pcompletely in fact and go with a nice text table, but make it stand out, the gray color is boring and doesn't make me want to read it. Learn to do tables that jump out at you with style sheets and watch your clickthru's climb.

Making the site profitable is just as important as making it listable.

I tried making that site look normal on 1280x1024 and 800x600 resolutions. But I guess it just looks haphazard on both. :)

I'll definitely fix up the ads on my next site. The ones there now 1 in 16 people are clicking. And I never knew people actually clicked those warning page ads, I just assumed everyone was hardcore skilled at watching free porn like I am.


I like subdomains, it's probably just me but I think they look nicer than folders.

Bandwidth isn't a problem, I **WISH** I was getting enough traffic to use up a terrabyte. :)

I love giant thumbnails and lots of pics...


btw, Thankyou everyone for your advice.

don't take this the wrong way, but stop thinking like a surfer and start thinking like a webmaster.

keep the thumbs a little smaller. This isn't just about bandwidth, but also load times. Half the country is still on dialup

Keep your designs at 800x600 (out of habit from the old days, I still design my tables for 640x480), just because you're surfing at 1280x1024, doesn't mean your visitors are. I'm a webmaster and I still use 1024x768 (bad eyes).

Always make sure every single link, graphic, picture, etc. on your site hasa purpose. If it doesn't, it'ss wasting space. In the days of cheap bandwidth and broadband conncetions, things are cheaper, but as long as you keep thinking economically, you'll maintain higher profits. Even if you only save $.50 per day in bandwidth costs, that's $15 per month (that's 1-2 extra domain names you could be buying per month)

I'm not attacking you personally, just getting you to think like a business owner. If you owned a store, you'd have to keep a tight check on inventory and money management, well the same should apply to your website.

Also remember, that you may be very experienced at surfing, but that doesn't mean your visitors are.

Is there any size I should try to stay under to keep most of the dialup surfers? Like 150k? I don't think the picture thumbs are so bad, 16 thumbs compressed down to 70-75k total. Just the vidcaps are a little big, around 20k each.

Do you make sites that make YOU want to buy a membership? That's what I usually try to do, I just never saw (until now) the stuff I should be doing to target the inexperienced surfer too.

third level domain for me personally is 100% decline, and for many others as well. Indication of free host, unpaided hosting, or bartered hosting, all of which gets declined these days by many link sites.

I would also decline it for non-consentual sexual acts, penetration in a sexual manner of someone who is clearly bound and unable to stop even if they wanted to.

Thumbs are big and take away from the banners and advertising... the thumbs shouldn't be the biggest thing on the page.

Would you accept it in the form of

http://www.porn-flakes.com/bondagegirls/

?

That is more acceptable to most LL's :)

Much more acceptable... you are probably hundreds more times likely to get listed.

The content and other issues would still make you not get listed for me, but different sites have different rules, I guess.

Alex

I'd have to agree. I almost always reject subdomains based on the freehosted problem. Please just use sub folders!
