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.
