really good idea, if you are interested I'm sure some of us would too.
And I am for example.

What do free site builders get paid in France anyway?

euro or dollars anyway it doesn't matter for us, we are used to deal in dollars as well as in euro so you choose.
the price would be the price you want to get for it. It is just a question of offer and demand as any market. (and it will also depend on the graphism ability of each buyer I guess)

Maybe we'll get some ideas that will be new to English surfers. Link text like "Put down that cigarette and click here now, you pig" and "Don't waste time even thinking about showering, click here and get filthier first" and "Click here if you're glad you're not a stupid American."

Oh yeah, and free site titles like "Unwashed Hairy Smoking Putains" and "Frenchies Fucking Froggy-Style," plus French Canadian versions like "Husky Humpers" and "Beaver Beaters."

"We don't hate american"
Oh well I don't know if you can see that french X webmasters are more américan-friendly than most of the other french. It is because in our perception of America people are making their life based on their work and success and contrary to other french we don't look at the success of others in a jalous way, but more like a purpose and good example
It is particular, in french and very strange : to be rich etc. is seen as bad thing, jalousi etc. but some of us aren't totaly made and are thinking that maybe if someone got success it is because he deserve it : something that we think American are thinking (and other country of course)


"traduction is not so easy"
One thing would be very difficult is just traduct english FS because french visitors don't by on a paysite that is not in french (just look at my speech that is not very good and imagine others french that understand far less than me, and more over they are not quiet to pay with their credit card on a french site so imagine on a sit in an other language. That very annoying and makes it very difficult for non french paysite to get result. I do myself traduction when they don't exist when I want fresh new promo content.


"but shure we will get some very good idea of slogan !"
I already stole you english slogan traducting in french, and I invite you doing the same
Don't be offensed I promise I changed some word ;-)


I just want to tell that we would need to change some little link like 2257 or deleting a outgoing button that ar in french FS
But don't be afraid it is very quick because our FS are very similar in fact.
