Then in the same niche I am promoting a site on a different sponsor that doesnt look as good, the content doesnt look as good and its ALWAYS ALWAYS less than 1:1000. Both these sites have been promoted pretty much the same way (free sites that have been submitted to the same sites) too, some of the things that go on in this biz just make you say WTF.

As both Bill in the SE chat and MML in OTB try to drill into us.. Messy and Ugly sells.. pretty doesn't sell as well.
