Hi, freesite went to hell :P

thediablo · 2003-10-04, 03:16 PM

hi dudes...

well just need some advice on the following site:

www.stormyfriday.us

we redesign the site and stuff, and bought some traffic to see how it does... just for traffic, and it went to hell... we bought like 100k to test, but nothing after that the traffic didnt stay steady and all went to hell...

so we are thinking maybe we OVERDESIGNED that shit and is to fucking cool to be a freesite, so we planning to redo it but something simpler..

what u think?

thanks

(haha this one is gay!)

It looks like a page to me rather than a site. I doubt you can get any big LL's to list it with Seventeen as a sponsor

This is just plan wrong "nice young teen girls" alone with the sponsor that Surfn mentioned.

What you have there is a filter page so any traffic that you bought would be gone once it was used up since there no site to keep them coming back.

Also where did you buy the traffic from, lots of bought traffic is real crap traffic.

Also your sig is way too big. You need to keep the image to 120 X 60 or smaller.

i rem the big sig.

so seventeen sucks as sponsor huh?

but what u think about the design and stuff?

overdesigned?

any sugesstions, make it more simpler, more sucky...

Well yeah using a sponsor that advertises 17 year olds isn't going to fly since 18 is the legal age in the states. Also you can not use the word young with the word teen since only old teens are of legal age.

As far as your page goes it's a hub with very little text and not very surfer friendly so it is not going to attract SE traffic or retain surfers.

Also it doesn't filter the traffic at all. Maybe a surfer comes to the it looking for redheads with small boobs and another surfer comes to your page looking for blondes with big boobs, but all you have is a big blob of a porn so they have to go hunting for what they want, but more likely will just move on.

Want to share the name from whom you bought the traffic?

joey007 · 2003-10-04, 05:44 PM

All what they said above but this is my view on it:

1 - theres no such thing as a "too cool" design imo. The design is nice but its wrong for a free site (as mentioned above).

2 - Maybe u bought crap traffic (who knows

3 - .us domains are shit and usually people will forget it was .us and goto the .com version of it. All domains are shit except .com if u cant get .com then maybe maybe if you really want it go for the .net or .org version but only as last resort.

i hope that helps. peace

IMHO, I think the mix of sites and such comes a little too close to pandering to the pedophile crowd. Pretty much all of it is club seventeen or very teenie type models. I don't personally list club seventeen sites (and i know the people that run the site, and I have no problem with THEM, but the law is the law where I am at!). Because your focus is very tight on that part of the market, but none of the sites deliver what you are suggesting, your sales will be fairly low (good clicks, poor purchase ratios).

Your top list is filled with VERY questionable sites, like this "virgins" site:

http://www.free-virgins.com/

let me give you a heads up: Unless you have actually KP, the KP surfers ain't buying. The rest of us stay far away as possible from this stuff. Your surfers are going to think KP circle jerk, and they ain't gonna be buying, they don't want to get "caught". Too much of the site is "virgins", young, and other stuff.

I suggest you redo the entire thing with a slightly less pedo feel, and you might have some hope.

For this happy reason alone, I have pre-emptively made sure you domain is on my blacklist, so I don't accidently accept it :-(
