Welcome back to the free site game!

Page by page;

Entry, I'd move the 2257 stuff to the bottom of the page. No reason to put that right in the surfers face...you really don't want him looking at it anyway. Also, you can have 3 ads on that page...use em wisely. An ad near the top of the entry page is prime real estate for sponsor clicks.

Interesting main page...not necessarily in a bad way...just different from the norm. Usually, you'd have a sponsor ad near the top...but I see what you're doing and why. Might work out well for you

Oh, you call the girl Alysha, but the vid calls her Samantha. Takes away a bit of the reality feel of site. Either way...she's a tasty babe

Galleries look fine to me.

Lastly, and this will cost you a bunch of listings...looks like you're on a free host. Very few link sites accept free hosting these days.

All in all...a nice site, but you will want to get paid hosting if you want to get listed.

Hi MrYum,

thanks for your comments, there are some realy good points. The thing with the main page is a test letīs see how it works

what do you think about the link above the enter link on the index page? Is it ok or looks it like a blindlink?

But why do you think i am using a freehost??? Itīs a 10MBit server from hosthead. On this server i run the 4 tgpīs wich you can see on the submitt-url handmadegalleries.com. I register this domain without privacy just for submitting, and i added my TGPīs to show you and the other reviewers that i am a honestly worker who runs some own nice sites

Anytime Alter, glad to help

Yea, that main page might work real well for you...has a nice flow to the sponsor link

Nope, I don't find that link blind at all...clearly states the name of the sponsor site...without using the word 'Enter'. Looks good to me!

My apologies on the hosting issue. I was mis-remembering something...would have sworn I'd read something on this board about them being a free host. Just ran some board searches and didn't find a thing about that being an issue. Quite the opposite...looks like a few board members are very happy customers over there. Sorry about the mis-information...doh

The video loads extremely slowly for me and the pics are unnecessarily large, you could trim them down for load times and to save you on bandwidth.

I know exactly what you're talking about and I can't find that damned thread either. Hmmm...

Anyway, my 1.5 cents on this free site is that I don't like having to read in order to find the gallery links. They currently look like sponsor links to me because they are mixed in with that text block. The faster a reviewer can find his/her way through your site, the better. When we have to slow down to find something, we find other problems.

I did find the vid a bit slow to load, but it wasn't that bad. It is a rather large vid for a free site...which might contribute to the seemingly slow load times.

Yea UW, I would have sworn I'd seen something. But, as mentioned...only found glowing reviews on a search. We're not crazy buddy...it's everyone else
