Some help/guidance/advice please ;)

Hi All

Only been doing this about 2 weeks, so I am still very inexperienced

I submitted a site and got the following reply from Greenie:

1st off, the title you submitted is way too long:
German boys in 100% hardcore ass fucking, cock sucking and swallowing huge cock full of hot creamy cum

You're grammar is not that bad (some of it can be cleaned up a bit so that you don't have to scratch your head when you read it) but if I reviewed it, I'd have rejected it for:
Site Structure - your recips are all left aligned in the cells & there's text on the site that looks like it should be centered
Vid Caps - we don't list sites with vid caps as the content

For my site:
http://www.gay-o-rama.co.uk/free-sit...n-cocksuckers/

The first part was my mistake. I must have sumitted the description instead of the title which is why it was soooo long. I still make these stupid mistakes, especially if I am rushing.

2nd, my recips table. In each TD I have <center> and </center>, but greenie says that they are left alligned within the cells. Any ideas?? My html is deffo NOT great. He also says there is text on the site that looks like it should be centered, but I must be missing it.

Vid caps?? Does that mean the site I was promoting (germangooboys) cannot be listed on greenguys as it is video based??

Hopefully someone can point me in the right direction. Any help would be gratefully accepted

Thanks, from a UK newbie

You messed up the URL

I can answer the Vid Caps question: those pics are stills takes from a movie. You can tell because the quality sucks & you often see extra lines & blurs due to motion (which is why I won't list sites that use them as content)

I did look at this one - http://www.gay-o-rama.co.uk/gayextreme/ (the 404 sent me there) and I copied the table to my html editor & while the table is centered, the cells all have default alignments, which is left.

Sorry Greenie - i copied and pasted - oops

http://www.gay-o-rama.co.uk/free-sit...n-cocksuckers/

So basically ALL the gallery pics at the above site are taken from movies?? Gutted! So if I make sure that they are proper pics, and resubmit, although many of the LL's have accepted it, and they may get mad if I make changes now...

I will also change the table, although when I check the table is div aligned center plus each TD is centered. (but like I said, I am new to html, so I am probably doing something wrong). I appreciate the feedback Greenie

So if the quality of the pics aint great, DONT use them?? As they are probably taken from a movie?

Thanks again, appreciate it

Here's a good example:
http://www.gay-o-rama.co.uk/gallery/...o_Boys_045.jpg
You see how the hand on the right is blury? How the legs of the guy on the bottom have little jagged edges? That's how you can teel it's a vid cap.

As far as resubmitting this site - if it's listed at other places already, I'd just move on.

What was the reason for banning?
Just curious..

[trying2win2]

one was 'shit load content' and the other didnt give me a reason lol

[Jim]

So, you were just not listed. That is a big difference from being banned.

[trying2win2]

When I try to submit another site, thats when I get an error stating I am banned.

If it's a ban after one submit, that's really extreme. I know I'll ban someone after they repeatedly gets rejected for the same reason, but one?

I'd just move on & forget aobut them...or post the name so we can all make fun of them

trying2win2, just for future ref, you can center an entire table:

<table align="center"><tr><td>bla</td></tr></table>

...but this doesn't affect the cell data in that table.
You can also use the vertical align attribute in the row tag, by the way.
Here's an example with all three atts used:

<table align="center"><tr valign="top"><td align="center">bla</td></tr></table>

A better way to control alignment would be css (text-align:center although there's no css substitute for the valign attribute.

Thanks guys, appreciate your help

Can I ask someone to quickly check this one out please:

http://www.gay-o-rama.co.uk/free-sites/cheap-gay-fuck/

I dont have greenguy on this one, coz I submitted a site already to him. Does this site look better in terms of grammar,center aligns and better galleries. The galleries (to me) look decent quality and NOT taken from vids.

Thanks again. The last think I wanna do is submit this for it to be rejected, as I will end up getting banned from EVERYWHERE. I am assuming the last guy who said 'shit laod content' wa also referring to the vid caps, so maybe if I wanna promote germangoo boys, I shold do video galleries rather than pics, as most of the content seems to be vid caps...

Cheers

Your html still has errors in there. Like your closing tags here:

<font color="Yellow">
<H1>bla</H1>
<H2>more bla</font></h2>

^^^The </h2> should precede </font>.

Or you bold tags <b>... I only see closing bold tags </b>.

Your site won't validate, even if you fix the current syntax, because you're using deprecated tags (like <font> or <b>) and mention no doctype.

As for layout, I'd get rid of those table borders, but I'll let others discuss the layout issues as I'm just starting out on freesites myself.

Btw, isn't the 2257 info supposed to be on the pages with the content - ie the gals ?

[trying2win2]

Thanks Jab. I have added this to the start:

<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01//EN"
"http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/strict.dtd">

I have also swapped the font and h2 tags around. Will sites got rejected because of bad html layout, such as tags being the wrong way round or not adding the doctype at the start?

Thanks for replies btw, really appreciate this help. I am learning each day and these forums are great for learning

Cheers

[Jab]

Yes this board seems to have a more serious crowd than many others.

That doctype declaration should be on one line.

I'm frankly not sure yet how much a valid syntax is valued by linklist webmasters, but it's good practice anyway - if not for SE's then for the exotic or older browsers.

[Jab]

I just noticed the doctype need *not* be on a single line, according to html specifications. My bad. But I'd do it anyway :p
