Yanno... if we could all go fuck ourselves, we would have a lot of content problems solved.
Seriously though... I hope this thread continues too. It's already saved me from going down two paths I'd have been sorry to get too far down. And it's helped me make some decisions on future development projects.
Way back on page 2, I jumped into this thread and mentioned that the new site I was developing would eventually link to both free sites and galleries, and would have its own blog.
The thing is, I agree very much about the surfers being of a bit different mindset when visiting each kind of promotion. My intent is to have a warning page, like I do now, and offer surfers the choice of visiting the LL of movie free sites, the MGP of movie galleries, or the site Blog.
You see, I think there's a way to feed traffic from one section to the other, but I also think it's going to be tricky to make sure it flows in the right directions, and that it doesn't wind up one big diluted mess.
Which is one thing that I think Greenguy and UW and others have been warning us about here.
I see some very fundamental differences in the dynamics of LLs vs TGPs (and Blogs of course). I'm starting to understand more about "why" LL traffic converts better than TGP traffic. So I'm going to offer my suggestion/vote, Kristian, that you develop separate sections for each kind of traffic.
Now, I'm really a beginner when it comes to LLs and TGPs and Blogs, so I probably should just shut up.
But I wanted to say that I hope this thread continues, no matter whether it's a Link List or a Directory that's getting built. And I really do hope that no matter what's getting built, everyone here would still be inclined to stop by and offer whatever helpful bits and pieces we can.
Okay, that's more than enough out of me.

P.S. Who am I kidding, if we could all go fuck ourselves, there'd be a lot less people showing up for work today. (Sure, go ahead and say "not me" in your head, we know it makes you feel better.)
