LL peeps please review this Free Site

[Stever]

This is my first free site, so let me know what you think. Any problems before i start submitting it.

I will probably not accept it.
If I wanted hosted galleries with an index and main page infront of it, I'd do that myself.

[ronnie]

Have to agree, sure look like hosted galleries.

So what should i do to avoid that. Drop the the header images on the gallery pages?

I've been building TGP galleries for the past while so the gallery pages end up looking like my tgp galleries. Though they are trimmed down a tad. Needs more i guess.

I'm not over doing it with my text am I?

[Ramster]

The galleries look like galleries from the sponsor just copied to your own server and considering it is 100% sponsor content that adds to it. The images are bad quality. A movie gallery is unnecessary. I'd make 2 movie galleries and make it a movie site instead.

When using sponsor content and making the thumbs, always try to not show the url on the thumbs.

[Stever]

I was worried about the low quality images as they are just screen shots. The sponsor has no High res pics for this site. So perhaps I'll just turn it into a 2 page movie gallery intead.

I was trying to build it to accommodate the various listing requirements at different sites. In terms of the number of pics and/or movies. I didin't want to build an all movie one as i am concerned about eating bandwidth up quickly on some of the higher traffic sites. But I didn't want to build an all pics one cause some sites demand a min of 30 pics. So I opted for the middle road. Not that i would know, but i think this settup might sell well. Maybe.

I had built a TGP gallery with this content before I built this (hense the hosted gallery look). Will rework it and repost here for a before and after.

Keep the advice commin

O.K. Here is the updated site

All Girl Strap-on Gang Bang

So I removed the header promo graphics and they dont look so much like FHG's now.

I changed the content on the first gallery to a photo set that was a little better quality. They are vid clip shots but the first set was just too blurry. Would these be o.k.?

Still need to crop the thumbs on second gallery to remove site logo.

I think I'll keep the 2 pic galleries/1 vid gallery set-up for submitting to some sites. And make a seperate one with two vid galleries for others. Or even just the two pic galleries for some that will accept them.

Any other comments while I work on SEO for now.

[Stever]

Any one care to comment on the text on these pages. I attempted to punch it up a bit after finding out my sales text was weak on previous tgp galleries. I find this much better but is it too much, am i over selling or is it good?

[Lemmy]

I don't think you're overdoing it at all. On the contrary I think you could do more.

Your index page has no advertising at all. You're allowed 3 links, so use them. Also I would make the linked text a different color. Where it is part of a block of unlinked texts it sort of drowns. Make it stand out more.

Other than that your site looks great. I have no problems with it.

The very first thing that you'll want to do is to yank the counter from the bottom of your pages. Third party counters and Javascript are not allowed on free sites at most places. I used to love my counters.

Plus, I have some good news and some bad news. The good news is that you don't have to worry about your movies burning too much bandwidth. The bad news is that your movies won't burn too much bandwidth because the big link lists don't accept those vid caps. We smaller and newer link lists still take them, generally speaking.

Your 460x80 banner is hotlinked from Girlygangbang. They may allow it, but some prickly reviewers may not. It's a toss up.

Otherwise, the site is clean; your enter and gallery links are obvious and easy to locate, as they should be.

[ronnie]

I think it looks much better, like a free site now. You have 24 pics right? That would be accepted by most places. I dont know how many demand 30 pics nowdays, though it cant hurt. I'd lose the movie page also, and more so if your concerned about bandwidth.

[MrMaryLou]

I see your using vid caps and some places don't allow them so you might want to use just the movies to promote that sponsor.

[Linkster]

First and foremost - Id be real wary about listing anything adult on Yahoos servers - I realize its a paid hosting account but their TOS is loose enough that they could delete your stuff anytime - that said, they are also adding a counter to your pages which tells me that you definitely want to find another hosting acct somewhere else since you dont have control over that

something else to think about doing - get the sponsor to give you the actual pic sets that go with the scene - most will do it if you write a polite email to them or icq them

secondly - I have to agree that you need to get some advertising on that site - lots of text and some banners on the index page - put text with the banners on the other pages

put some mouseovers on the links to the sponsor - we allow it in the LL world and it will make your sales a little better

change the colors on the linked text on the gallery pages - make it stand out instead of hiding in that background color

get rid of the "go back" links - make the surfer hit their back button

[Lemmy]

I see that I have to hone my review skills. Never thought of checking the source code or the whois info. This could very easily end up taking some time once the submits start adding up.

[Stever]

Act III

Ok. I dropped the vid gallery. Will probably make a seperate site with two pages of vids for those LL's that won't accept these vid cap photos. Will try to ask for a better photo set from the sponsor but for now I'll go with these.

Added ad and links on Index page. Are adds to other shit ok on the index page? Got one I'd like to throw on there if it is acceptable.

460x80 banner no longer hotlinked. I slipped on that one.

Persian Kitty still asks for a min of 30 pics. Personaly I think less is more. Why give the surfer too much for free. just a sample to get them enticed. Though I still dont know how much is too little or too much. Does anybody?


Here it is nearly complete now. Naughty Strap-on Lesbians (notice how I am using linked text full of Keywords, I offer you all an SEO tip )

Now as for Yahoo! was starting to think about changing hosting. Now I guess it is imperitive to my very existance. How many spams will I get regarding hosting providers? hmmmm?

Thanks Ya'll for the help on this
Cant wait to start submitting it. The yahoo counters put a glitch in my plans though.

[Stever]

What is the issue with third party counters anyway? Just curious.

[Lemmy]

I know very little about counters and such but I believe it's because the JS can serve up things to the surfers that are effectively out of your control.

[Linkster]

Lemmy - actually thats real close - what we noticed is that some of the counter providers were resetting peoples cookies to insert their own aff ref codes, spyware and a few other nasty tricks. Basically to prevent this type of thing which was causing you as the free site builder and us as the LL to lose credit for sales, was to just basically make a blanket statement of no counters.
In addition, most of us have detection scripts for both javascript and other things like I frames etc that are common spyware and referral stealing tricks so that sites that get submitted just basically go in the trash bin if they have anything like that on the pages - and the urls/emails get added to the BL

[Stever]

Hmmm??? So I have submitted tgp galleries to some bigger sites before and never got listed. May I have been instantly black listed.

Arrrrg!!! The problems never end.
