My first free site layout, ideas?

[Mavic]

Working on my first free site today and need some opinions, the galleries are being reused from TGP posts and would like to know what you guys think:

Thanks

It's nice and simple

You might want to compress the pics a little more. The ones I looked at were around 110kB. I'm not sure if it's my connection, but the pics loaded really slow.

Yeah, image size is something I need to work on, its never been much of a concern before as long as they were less then 150k and above 30k the TGP's seemed to like them and I was tring to maintain high quality.

I did read that 500-600pixels on the long side is the more accetpable size for LL's tho. I want to be able to reuse my galleries so I'm going to have to find something that suits both.

As far as banner count, and text descriptions, is what I did acceptable for mass LL consumption? I use advanced submitter the recip table I'm hoping I can create with that. Need to figure the best way to setup the multi-niche recips.

I think I also need some META tags, time to go steal some ideas

Thanks

Hello Mavic,

Like Swedguy mentioned, your large pics will need to be compressed.
The ones I looked at were well over 100k.
I use Photoshop to compress mine.

Your site looks nice and the layout is fine but here are some other things that you can do to improve it.

#1) You might wanna hide your ccbill url by adding this to the end of it.
onmouseover="window.status='http://www.perfectflex.com/tour/';return true"
You will get more click thrus by hiding your affiliate id.

#2) Instead of sending your exit link traffic to Yahoo try sending it to one of your mainstream sponsors (if you have one). If not you can send it to mine...lol. Just kidding. But seriously, it's your last chance to make some cash from the surfer. Besides Yahoo has enough traffic already...)

#3) Try adding some spicy text and text links to your sponsor on your menu page instead of 3 banners. Surfers will click a text link much more often than a banner. Esp. if you add some enticing text. Make it exciting and when you write it imagine that you are talkng to someone you know and you're telling them about this great site you found. Believe it or not, some of my sites get more click-thrus on the menu page than on the gallery pages. Same goes for the gallery pages.

#4) Add meta tags to your pages and use keyword phrases from your page text in your title and description. SE will love you. (which I'm sure you already know)

#5) You might want to fix the link to your 2257 statement on your 2nd gallery page...


Just my 2 cents...gook luck!

Thanks for those tips Presmar, I especially like the onmouseover, what is that considered (javascript?)? Would that be acceptable for TGP consumption as well?

Also could use some ideas for mainstream sponsers, only actually ever sold porn on the net so far

Thanks

In addition to what has been said, there's a typo on the index page for "Extreme Gymnasts".

hi,
from noob to noob: I like it. I only think that the link tex should stand out ffrom the background more.
Take care

Didn't forget the thread but got sidetracked as usual, been tring to figure out the logistics of getting the niche recips setup in a way I don't need to pull my hair out when building pages.

Do you guys mainly buy pre-made databases for your submitting software? The way I've figured out so far would be to create catagories for each like LL_amateur, LL_anal, LL (base catagory for single recip sites) but the only problem I see is only being able to selete one sub catagory since some of sites have multiple named sub-niches, like bigtits, tits, titshardcore, titsnatural, so I could see titsnatural and bigtits maybe being one of the overlaps that would get the same LL site twice.

Anyone wanna share a better idea on how to do this?

Not quite sure what you mean Mavic...I submit manually

[Mavic]

I use advanced submitter to manage my TGP lists and recips database, but TGPs are much simpler 3 recips and no special niche tags per gallery.

Basically I want to do the same, all the submitter does is fill the forms with email, site name, url of site that is specific to the LL being posted too, generates modified index.htmls with the appropriate recips for sites being posted to.

All the LL's are held in a database with the recip tables (or image info). Setting up my own DB will be a pretty big task but once its done submitting to LL's will be much easier IMO. No, I don't mean auto-submit, just in manual mode for review of each submission but takes out a lot of the redundant work of submitting.

Unless there is an easier way :-)
