Galleries in a free site- what's the best?

bert2000pt · 2004-02-20, 04:39 AM

Hi folks

When I asked a review of my last attempt on free site design, Bill commented on having 4 galleries as being too much.

Actualy, I only have 30 pics total, for I grouped them according to scenes:

Gals 1 and 2 - same scene - 8 pics each
Gal 3 - another scene - 8 pics
Gal 4 - yet another scene - 6 pics

So my question for today:

What is better?
Group pics based on similar content, as I did or make 3 galleries of 10 pics each, regardless of content?

Greenguy already told me I am using too much compression on pics, so am working on it, to make them (and thumbs) have better quality.

If you are interested on checking the design and send me some comments (all welcome and apreciated)

It's on a free server for now. As soon as I have optomized the design, I will move to paid host

Thanks everybody

Hi Bert,
i think 20 pictures on a free site is ok, you don't need to put more, and at many link lists is one rule:
20 pictures minimum and 10 pictures per gallery
so making 4 galleries with 6 or 8 pics is mistake

and what greenguy told you, these pictures are too compressed.

hmm this 'scorpio' watermark is useless i think hehe

A minimum of 20 pics is correct but there's no need to use that as a maximum; there are several advantages to adding more than 20 pics:

1/. To use your example if your 1st gallery contained the 16 pics of the two girls and the other had 14, you could submit the gallery with 16 to 'no-recip' tgp lists.

2/. Some sites (like persian kitty) ask for a 30 pic' minimum.

3/. If your site is "borderline" - the fact that it contains more than the minimum picture requirement can tip the scales and get you listed.
