Need a review and some advice

well I just took a quick look, but that is a very nice looking site

I totally agree with you on the banners, I've been trying to make more text oriented sites too and tracking them to see what happens. Plus it's more fun making up the text than just slapping a banner up

couple of things I did notice - the banner on the top of the index page should be unlinked as it may be considered blind (thumbs)
the other is the gallery links are pretty low on the main page, this may or may not cause you problems.

I didn't really look at anything else so see what other comments come in but I did want to say it's one of the nicer looking sites I've seen in a while

A good looking site. Although the thumb for pic #8 isn't linked to the full size pic.

not bad I agree with pony girl about the ad on the index, also you shouldnt have to scroll that much to find the gallery links on the main..

I know what you're saying, and yes text is good. Gives something for search engines to spider -- for that rare search engine hit.

But IMO, men are visual animals, which is why I think that the combination of text and banners is what appears to work best, which is why it has become the standard forumlae for free-site builders.
