New free site format (version 1.5)

[CrazySy]

Free sites is a bad quality site in therms of Google because:
1) They never updates.
2) Text content duplicates many times and equal texts of hundreds other free sites.
3) They don't have new incoming links after initial listing in Link Sites.

How would removing index page change any of these?

Free site is a bad quality site in therms of Surfers because:
1) They have bad usability: surfer must click 3 times to see the gallery (warning page -> main page -> gallery).
2) They have small content amount (2-3 galleries)

A freesite is a mini tour for sponsor with the exception of getting more free samples. I'd go back to submitting galleries if I just want to hand them the content. I can use the content for a freesite (new suggested format) and build 3 galleries.

You know what a bad quality site is? A bad quality site is the ones you can read the text 3 or 4 times, and still can't figure out what the fuck it means. A bad quality sites is, using crappy colors and over compressed thumbs/images.......

This does not benefit the submitter one bit. I stayed up late last night to look at some numbers and here is what I get:

Sales from my freesites index page 49%
Sales from my freesites main page 38%
Sales from my freesites first gallery 9%
Sales from my freesites second gallery 4%

If I have to give up 50% of my income to make link list owners happy, I'll give up on the link list.

However, as a submitter I agree with a change. Why not allow the site to be a mix of pics, movies and stories? Why all galleries have to have the same type of content? Link lists strict rules is the reason all the sites look the same. For example, if I build a site for a single model and make a bio page on freesite that has a link to her site, I have to count the link to bio page as an external link because the page does not have content! Link list strict rules limits the creativity to produce different looking sites. They are many many ways to make your site look different without getting rid of the index page.

Have a list of trusted submitters, allow them to use their creativity and build a few sites with completely different structure, evaluate them and if you like their ideas, let them go at it and keep building.

Just my 2 cents
