Hello folks
First, I would like to say that I never expected to receive so many replies and, most of all, that much good and valuable.
To be perfectly honest, I didn't think the free / paid hosting was such a big issue and I thought the free I'm using was rather unobstructive, since it only add one line of text in top of the page. However, some replies made me realize how much distracting that line of text is, making surfers click on it and leaving my sites.
So, what are my plans now? Will I give up?
Of course not !
I will continue reading this and other similar forums, study any tutorial I can find, and make my sites look as appealing as possible.
I particulary enjoyed Marie's excellent series about freesites on PornResource.com and think that is a way to go.
From my limited experience and the replies I received I now know I have to do the following:
1 - get a paid host and private domain
2 - Build free sites (a lot of them) linked to my AVS sites or to the sponsors
3 - submit them to link and top list, directories, etc
4 - Build TGPs linking to my AVS sites
Hope this will help to increase my conversions and, naturally, give me some money.
So, back to the drawing board, for I do have much work to to.
Thanks everybody for the extremely valuable input.
Will keep posting my results, should anyone be interested
Bert
