can you please spare some time and look at my free site

That top metart banner add has what I would consider clickable thumbs that don't lead to images.

But more importantly, that's not really a standard free-site. Standard free-sites normally have an index/warning page that links to a main page with 2 gallery links, and each gallery page contains between 10-15 pictures.

Now I've seen what you have there work, but the one time I did see that type of free site work, the guy asked the LL owners ahead of time if they would accept such a site.

If you want to build standard free-sites it's easy. Go to any linklist and browse their listings to see what others have done -- don't steal the designs -- and get a basic understanding of the layout. Ignore the free-sites on the linklists that don't have recip tables, as those are sponser hosted free sites that don't need to follow the rules.

After you've surfed for a while, you'll probably get an idea of how a standard free-site looks. And if you are not getting accepted with standard sites then I sure as hell wouldn't try a non-standard one! Good luck!

But that's just a drunken Preacher talkin'
