I don't think there are a lof of people on this board that want them either :D

Hosted Free Sites are for Links Lists just as Hosted Galleries are for TGP owners. I'm sure that people also use both on hub pages & whatnot.

Free Sites and Galleries that sponsors put online for the webmaster to download & then upload to their own server is just a bad idea, because then they will start to submit those Free Sites & Galleries to Link Lists & TGP's & the reviewers for each will get very sick of seeing the sites & galleries over & over & over & next thing you know, the sponsor and/or submitter is banned.

I'd like to get some feedback on a couple Movie FHS before I start on more. I think they look pretty good but I've never built a free site in my life before these.

Good & Bad, let me know! |peace|

BV - those look fine to me, with the exception that it's Hosted Free Sites or HFS & not Free Hosted Sites :D

Cool, but who invented that acronym?

I think we are both wrong. lol

Providing galleries are galleries and free sites are free sites then FHG is to FHFS as Free Hosted Gallery is to Free Hosted Free Site. Not FHS or HFS, but I really don't care what we call them as long as they get used. |headbang|

No no no, it's HFS and HFG - FHG and FHS are very different things. I think. I've now completely lost track of all acronyms. |yawn|

Its FHG and HFS!

Ahh man it seems im gonna have to start a afiliate program that build good old fashioned free sites with loads of promo text and banners in different colors and :D

When you put the word "free" in front of the word "host" or some variation of it, you get bells & whistles going off & people tend to think it's "free hosting" which it's not.

It's a Free Site that the sponsor is hosting, thus it's a Hosted Free Site.

ours will be ready soon...id love to get feedback from people on this board before we release them to everyone

Phoenix - post them here & we'll give you some honest feedback :)

Sorry haven't been here in a bit-
Chop - that is exactly what I'm looking for.
IE... I have 10 lesbian links ready to list, I'd like 15.
What to do??
Hmm.. Chop's has 10 ready to download, change codes, upload.
BW is cheap, and the time spent may be 30 minutes.
I don't care about that.

Just build a free site that will conform to all the regular LL rules, and let us pick and take as we need.

I’m not sure what you want in free sites and what you promote...but we, as a sponsor, did build a massive all gay award-winning free site that has tons of converting gay traffic.

Before I became the marketing manager of the company I was very surprised and in love with the traffic and the conversions from it. (I’m still getting checks from sites I made 6 months ago.)

As of Jan 1st, there where 60,000 registered users, 45,000 that re-log in and actively use our free site.

You’re welcome to check it out. Our webmaster's area: http://www.justusboys.com/cgi-bin/user.cgi

andymike - it's been explained a couple times already in this thread - LOL - but it is a long thread, so I'll sum it up :)

A Free Site, in it's most basic form, is a warning page that leads to a main page that leads to 2 gallery pages with 10 pics on them.

So, if you have Hosted Galleries, you're pretty much 1/2 way there :)

LOL, well how about this, why dont sponsors make all the sites and then close down there programs to webmasters? If they are making sites then why do they need a webmaster?

Seems to me webmasters are to lazy and dont want to do any work or spend any money trying to build there businesses these days.

gimme gimme gimme

Webmaster means u work for yourself and that means you should allocate time in your day to build sites and build your business up and stop relying on everyone else to do all your work

Meat - I see NetpondCash has a lot of hosted galleries & feee sites - will you be removing them now? |couch|

:D

LOL no we wont Greeny:) That was me with my sponsor hat

We will try and add lots of content for webmasters and help them as much as possible:) Putting my webmaster hat on now:)

Not sure if im allowed to do this but here is a clip from one of our sites we will launch soon.

http://fetters.premiumratedcontent.com/alicia.wmv

Its very extreme and i will make sure we have plenty of free sites for webmasters to use.

I just don't get it. What do sponsors say build your own free sites yet they ALL offer TGP galleries? It the same frigin thing. You could tell webmasters to build your own damn galleries. Same thing!!!

This is an example and not spam. I am using my little program in the example, but most sponsors offering HFS have or soon will have a similar download tool .

So you need five lesbian sites for Mark's-Links, you could go to http://chopscash.com/affiliates/hosted/ , set up your query in the form and receive a downloadable pipe delimited file to import into your LL script. Your affiliate code is already built into the downloaded links. So your thirty mintues is now down to 15?

check out www.AdultLounge.com

we have many Free Trial Sites if thats what you mean...

Ray Charles could tell this thread is not about Free Trial Sites.

lol, agreed :)

oops...just read the title...sorry lol...

but to reply, yes we are making a few free sites with close affiliate partners...and hosting them for free also...

Raffi - can we see an example or two? I'd be interesting in using them if they look decent :)

Also, while I have you, can you guys put an actual email address in the "From" on your newsletters instead of "AdultLounge Team <>" It's kinda hard to tell the spam filter that your emails are OK if there's no email address on it :(

That is an excellent point that sticks out like a breast at mardi gras... I have to rethink what I was saying previously.

Free Trial sites or Free Sites?

In regards to the "from" i will let Art know....although when you double click on the "AdultLounge Team" it has our e-mail address...you mean make it straight up e-mail address visible on the from?

You said "...yes we are making a few free sites with close affiliate partners..." - so if you're going to be making Hosted Free Sites for affiliates, I'd like to see them & possibly use them :)


I think most spam filters look for the email address that's listed in the "From" part of the email - yours is "AdultLounge Team <>" - there's no email address in there, so the spam filters have no idea who it's from & just throw it in the junk folder. Also makes it hard to reply to the email, since sending an email to the address "AdultLounge Team <>" give you a "503 No Recipient(s)" error :(

Thanks for the feedback greenguy ... i will make sure to put an email address from now on |pimpin

Is it only me or most afdollars.com's FHS goes 404 ?

i swear ours are coming really soon

Hi, well I don't knoiw if this counts but we have a pretty good affiliate program as well as 12 tgp sites, if that's what you mean? We recognise that the folks we want to promote our sites are also the same folks successfully promoting loads of others too. So we give them priority to post to ours with partner accounts, if they want them.

I don't want to spam this board but feel free to ICQ my Marketing chap 'Bopper' on 330349571 if you'd like more information.

Cheers

I just let jaYMan & Joey know about this - they were working yesterday, because I was poking around over there. I'm sure they'll fix the problem :)


No, it doesn't count :D

Hosted Free Sites are for Link List owners as Hosted Galleries are for TGP owners.

Linkster wrote an awesome post on why sponsors should make Hosted Free Sites - you can read it here:
http://www.greenguysboard.com/board/...ad.php?t=15875

Oh, OK, well I'm still glad to let my affiliates have partner accounts but I guess I misunderstood the question. BTW - do you have an example of a link list?

If it's something that would add value to my affiliate program I'd like to see one so I can get with the program, if that makes sense?

Cheers

Edited - sorry, I just re-read your post again. OK, so I'm a bimbo!

dns propogating due to server move re's the afdollars promo stuff, sorry for the trouble, hopefully its sorted within a few hours ;)
