Hey Guys - New

[ecko]

I just wanted to introduce myself and get as much information/advice on quality galleries. I am seeking good sites to submit my content to. If anyone could help me out here I would appreciate it.

I would like to get some "rules of thumb" advice before I go creating my galleries. I am currently working on a hand full now and thx to other boards I was able to get the ball started. But maybe here at greenguysboard I can get more information so my galleries can be respected and trusted.

Thx again

Hi there, nice to see that you made it over.

[pc]

Welcome on board.

[ecko]

Thanks guys.. yeh I am glad I made it here. I hope to get the resources needed to be a successful submitter

[Greenguy]

Hey ecko - welcome aboard

I did reject your big butt submit for 2 reasons:
1 - Not enough recip links (you should be submitting these to at least 6-10 Link Lists)
2 - Recip link is under the enter link

I also just noticed that this site - http://www.xxxgaloreporn.com/galleri...-fat-asses/01/ - which is listed on your index page, is not the same site that you submitted to me (and I assume PK) Any reason for that?

Hey Greenie,

Thx for the welcome first

The link you provided was the original location of the gallery (work location). I just deleted that directory when I saw your post (forgot to delete it when I moved it over to the sub domain I created for it). Im anal when it comes to be organized and I had to get that squared away.

So this is the official link
http://blondesbigass.xxxgaloreporn.com/

So the link in your post should be dead now I have made corrections on the recip link location. I thought I read that it had to be under the "enter". Also thought I read it said no other partner links..lol I think I cant read no more. Sorry about that. New to all this but I hope to get it all squared away soon. Thanks to you guys helping me out

I should have the required recip links on the site real soon then I will re-submit it. If there is anything else I need to do just let me know. The goal for me is to provide quality (no bs or corrupted) galleries.

For a newbie to the Free Site game, you're doing very well. I approved your site this morning, but I do ask that you please put a description in the comments field, in case I'm lazy & don't feel like typing one up myself

[ecko]

lol sure thing Greenie. I appreciate it.

Welcome to the board ecko

Thx man.

Hi Greenguy and everyone else, I've been looking around the forum today and it seems like a nice, helpful, calm place to hang out.

My name is Jay and I've been building websites for about 4-5 months. I've only done adult sites. The learning curve is really steep for someone without prior html/css/wordpress/internet knowledge or marketing or SEO experience, but I'm making progress.

I have two questions, and would really appreciate any help with either or both.

1. First, in your view and experience, to what extent can reciprocal link trades with link list sites improve search engine position? I've been feeling lately, partly based on things I've heard, that trading with sites similar to your own (ideally) SEO-optimized free sites might be more beneficial. The idea is that more link juice and authority flow to you through a link from a site having a higher ratio of [PR and inbound links] to [number of outbound links], and greater text/content relative to links/html, etc...

Like I said, I'm new to all this. I'm puzzling over SEO questions like this recently, as I've tried and failed to make any kind of money from TGP submissions. Maybe one conversion per 100,000 traffic.

2. My second question is simpler, and it's mostly for the proprietor here.
Greenguy, I've seen you don't allow submissions to your lists without someone receiving prior approval from you based on ten previous free sites. That seems like a lot of sites to me. Maybe my mode of operating differs from the norm - I put a lot of time into building up content, then promoting and doing extensive SEO work - but I only have 3-4 sites and ~4 blogs of varying quality to shows for 4-5 months of literally continuous work. (A lot or most of this was spent learning, but I've built a lot too)

I may need to change how I do things very soon if my SEO doesn't have the intended effect, but this has been my model for several months, to obtain substantial SE traffic to 2-3 sites by ranking highly for competitive keywords.

Sorry this was so lengthy. Just had those two questions which I hoped one or more of you seemingly very friendly folks could help me with.

Thanks so much for having me here.
Best regards,
Jay

*edit - Just to clarify Question 2, which reads more like a rambling complaint than a question, I'd like to add I'm not asking for special treatment or any circumvention of your rules. Let's focus on question 1 for now, and if I decide these link lists can help me with SEO I'll cook up a few smaller free sites to satisfy Greenguy's requirement.

[Greenguy]

2 - Anyone can submit to the open form - located here: http://www.link-o-rama.com/greenguy/email.shtml

But, if you want to become a Trusted Submitter, I need to see 10 or so sites of yours so I know you know what you're doing

Trusted Submitters are also allowed to do/use other things. You can read about the benefits here:

I appreciate your prompt reply Sir.

I'm not sure how I got the idea to do things this way, but my sites are all pretty large (10-20 photo galleries and > 20 movies of 3-20 minutes each in each site). How large do other people build free sites for purposes of search engine optimization and affiliate marketing? Maybe I'm on the wrong track here...have to think about the options...


Well, I will get to work assembling ten sites for you to review, Greenie. (I want to know if I know what I'm doing too!)

I can't submit to the open form because my sites have G. Analytics and social media buttons (javascript) and most of my banners are iframes.

Two quick questions, if you don't mind - if you're busy don't worry about it.

1. Would you consider counting blogs with >10 substantial posts each among the 10 free sites?
2. I've been experimenting lately with incorporating internal linking and site layout into a "warning page" to avoid the search engine cost of a traditional warning page. Would you consider something like this an adequate warning page? I can't decide myself, and I'm actively working on this idea/page.

BTW, I hate to be the guy asking for site advice in a forum (and I'm not asking for that!...although any advice is always appreciated given my inexperience.) This is a small, new site and the first time I ever used WordPress.

I promise to cut down on the length of these posts. Thank you all again for having me in your forum.

That's WAY too many for one Free Site. A Free Site, in it's most basic form, is: Warning Page ---> Main Page ---> 2 Gallery Pages with 12 pics or 60 seconds of movies per gallery.

What a lot of people also do are create a hub page where they link to all their Free Sites (like the root of the domain) It doesn't have to be anything fancy:

I can look past those 2 things

No, but that would be good for a warning page for your hub.

The length of your posts is fine. Ask us any & all questions. We're here to help

[MrX]

Thanks for the info and advice, abatis and Greenie. Useful article and itemized reply!

I think I do need to start paying more attention to these standards/guidelines. They probably exist for a reason, i.e. they work for people. Plus, whatever I'm doing at present isn't working so well.
