My first Free Site....is this okay to submit?

[mariah]

Hey guys...I have always gotten love from this board and will now only come here for any help or to read posts if I have questions. I find it to have served me best before!

I made my first free site and need some feed back on what to change, if there are too many links, too few. etc...

Only 3 links per page to sponsor sites are allowed. Nice design but most likely be rejected by LL.

i changed the links and made 3 per page....

is there an autosubmitter for free sites? I have chamelean for tgps but still manually submit 75%. I use it just to duplicate the galleries with the recips on it.

So 3 sponsor links per page, and i imagine 3 recip links.

Thanks again!

Mariah!

I think most define a free site as having four pages - a warning page, a gallery index page and two gallery pages containing at least ten pictures each with no more than three outgoing links per page.

I think the top of your warning page looks good, but then you scroll down and you have GG's recip scattered amonst 15 links to sponsors. I assume that before you submit the site that these links are to replace with other recips.

Once again, on the gallery index page, you have way too many links to sponsors. Occassionally, you will see three galleries containing a total of 30 to 36 images (10 to 12 per page), but 4 galleries with 72 images might be a bit much.

BTW, the links on gallery four are all broken as file:///E|/Documents%20and%20Settings/BRIAN/Desktop/mariah3/thumbs/01_thumb.jpg

The four galleries appear to be TGP galleries that you have just linked to. Your four basic pages should have one scheme. The first two pages seem to be built to go together, but when you link the TGP galleries you lose your scheme.

In summary, too many links, too many galleries and images (come down to say a maximum of 30) and no common theme.

I'll get rid of 2 of the galleries so it will fit the definition you said.

Again, I learn here every time!

Mariah,

It is coming together.

One other thing, I think it is good to form a habit of checking for broken links before you submit. I find it humanly impossible to check my own work so I use this tool

I am sure there are others like it, but this one works well for me and it is free.

You still have too many links out.

Number 1 rule is the recip links MUST be above the enter link into the site. Drop all those links to other paysites. You're making a free site trying to sell one paysite, yours. So only have links to that site other than on the main page maybe have 1 other link to a site.

So as I said, 3 links per page is all you can have. Drop the links under the 2 gallery links. Recips links must be above the enter link and there should be 4-12 total link list recips there. Also I'd have a link to your official site using that wording somehow at the top of the index/warning page. You'll make more sales probably.

Hi there

I think you need to read the rules of the link sites that you are planning on submitting to... this will give you a great insight into what will be accepted

I am pretty sure they will all have as their top priority " recip link above the enter link"

Just have a look at a few rules... GG's would be a good place to start

1 - you need to get my recip above the enter link & you also need to put some other recips on there & trade with other sites as well.

2 - it's your site & you can do with it what you wish, but seeing as I assume you're trying to get people to become members of your pay site, why bother promoting other off topic paysites?

[mariah]

Thanks for all the feedback and I hope it is approval worth now!

GG since you're an affiliate would you like me ot make one (once it's approved of course! ) with your affiliate links in it?

thanks again and let me know if this works!
