My First Site - let me know what you think
 

This is my first gallery site and I would really appreciate any feedback that all of you might have.

Thanks!

why are you giving away so much content?

Hankphone - I think I know what you're trying to do here & I think you're a bit confused.

If you see a TGP like that, odds are all of the galleries they have linked up are submitted by other webmasters and/or hosted galleries that sponsors offer to their affiliates.

What you have there is a shitload of free content & hardly any ads - you're gonna loose money on that once traffic starts to find it.

This will not be something you submit to linklists with. But this could be your own hub/tgp that you trade links with other similar sites. Nothing wrong with all the galleries you have BUT your galleries are giving all the pictures to the shoot away.

These galleries have 48 images on it. This is way Way too much. It may even be against your sponsors rules in their TOS so you better check. Some state you can only use up to 20 or ??? pics from a single set.

Use only 12 to 16 from a set but not all the money shots. Remember you want the surfer to want to see all the pics in the members area.

Just my 2cents and good luck

Hey thanks for the info, it's actually kind of a load of my chest. I've been going and building all kinds of stuff when it really is much more simple than what I have done. I'll rip it and be back in a week or so with some galleries.

yea mang just work on buliding some individual galleries (~15 pics/1 minute of movies) and freesites (warning page, main, 2 gallery pages with ~12 pics each).

Ok, I've made a new page. Please let me know if I am on the right track this time before I submit it. Thanks! Rippling Black Booty

I would suggest using the same brown color that's on your sponsor's tour pages btw.

Also, you could use something like warningpages.com instead of sending traffic to Google for free.

Other than that, good job.

thats much better. only suggestion I would add, use more text and less graphics but thats more of a personal preference of mine. its better for the search engines and all that. it looks nice and clean and seems to follow general LL rules.

"Pound Da Brown" will probably get you rejected as a blind link at some places for it does not say where ya going if clicked. Pound Da Brown At Round N Brown would be better IMO. Or drop that and put a link back to your root/hub.

When doing whois check on your domain there is an error at http://whois.domaintools.com/sprayhole.com which could cause you problems. Maybe thats temporary but if this is your first listing they want to know who, what and where you are. It's a trust thing. You should definitely get that fixed.

It looks really clean but as stated earlier a bit more text on your page would help sell plus give spiders and bots something to chew on. You are also allowed 3 outgoing links to sponsors/hub so make sure you optimize that.

Just my 2cents and good luck.

need to improve layout. first impression last
