RawAlex's tip of the month
 

I don't do these very often, so if you are newer to the game and want to get listed more often, read on... :-)

Very simply: GET AN ENGLISH DICTIONARY!

Reviewing sites today I have declined sites where the webmaster doesn't even know how to spell GALLERY. One even sent me GALRY! Come on people!

I know for many, english is NOT your first language. But if you are going to try to sell stuff to english people, spend the time to at least spell the words correctly. I am not talking about minor typos or whatever, but failure to spell simple everyday porn words correctly.

Oh yeah... my personal peeve: There is no such thing in english as "SEX ACTIONS". Anybody who submits a site with SEX ACTIONS in the title or description should not be surprised not to get listed.

Carry on! Back to reviewing!

Alex

thenks for advise. :D

Good point RawAlex, I'm not native English speaking myself but I try to avoid errors when typing English, it just doesn't give a good impression to the surfer
For all non English speaking WM's, when in doubt use http://www.spellcheck.net :)

Good Tip
Maybe I will borrow it for Tuesday :)

Jim, feel free... I got really peeved today because I had to decline a bunch of reasonable sites because the english was so bad... in one case, I had no idea what the guy was trying to say, which suggests that he used babelfish or google to translate it raw.

Makes me feel that they unlikely cannot read and understand my submit rules clearly, and as a result I feel the sites might become redirects or 404s in the future without notice.

Alex

It makes sence...
I will use it Tuesday for sure.

My favorite automatic ban word is "dissoulute" as in dissolute teens etc.

A word so very rarely used in the English language that most surfers have no idea what the word even means

dissolute \DIS-uh-loot\, adjective:
Loose in morals and conduct; marked by indulgence in sensual pleasures or vices

Its a great word that no english speaking native probably has ever used in their life - try using words like "trashy, slutty, etc"

A good tip RawAlex, Im polish but was learning english since I was a kid and I think my sites arent that bad when it comes to language :)
But I have a friend, I reffered to the biz and sometimes his english is so sad that it makes me want to laugh.

Actually, I like using the word "dissolute".

Just never in porn titles or descriptions, ha ha!

For example. " Our president used to be dissolute, but now he's just disingenuous."

I often see 'sponsers' instead of sponsors, and always think - if i'm doing mistake or someone else ;)

I get descriptions like this often "dissoulute teens in sexual pleasure." English is not my first language but even I can see that is a shit description.

Two words....

Thesaurus Jockeys!

I know Jim & believe me when I say that "maybe" means that he'd already copy & pasted the text into the newsletter template :D

Raw Alex - ask me why I don't build sites in Spanish. Go ahead - I dare ya :)

I watched The Terminal the other day with a few friends one of which is Russian. To me it sounded like he was speaking Russian but my Russian friend said that he was just mumbling nothing at all.

This is kind of like the English sites from many of our none English speaking submitters.

|shake| Good one, Bill!!

Tom used many russian words in that movie, but almost all of them sounds like "GALRY" :) I think, it was made advisedly.
Anyway, Spielberg! GET A RUSSIAN DICTIONARY! :D

Okay, Greenguy, why don't you build any sites in Spanish? (besides the fact that you can't find that funny upside down ? on your keyboard)?

Alex

BECAUSE I DON'T SPEAK SPANISH

¿ OK ?

:D

You really should learn it... it's what all the smart webmasters are doing this year... |jester|

Alex

LOL

I get this all the time:

"handsome titted older babe...."

LOL

Besides the Black Duck sites my favorite is the ones with an Exciting exit link.

I only review TGP subs, but I get the same shitty descriptions. I really like seeing 'Enticing busted milf with pleasured holes'.
Or 'Matured womens with lesbian sensations'. I swear - I have seen those. Non English speaking webmasters just use words strangely. English speakers really fuck things up with artistic license.

And why do people write descriptions in the first person, like 'I banged this bitch all night' No you didn't!

how could you know? it's not totally impossible |jester|
