why did I get turned down...

The aebn stuff comes from their domain, not yours. It means you are not entirely in control of the content of your site.

The site layout is, well, tough to live with. Flashing enter links and other flashing text isn't all that pretty to look at.

Way too much sell on the page, makes me forget there are galleries... and then we get to the galleries, The mistress Jasmine gallery is okay, but the other one is, well... horrible. The images look like they were taken with a cell phone cam. The colors are terrible, the size is as small as anyone can stand, and the images are not clear. You need to take a little time to clean up the images, color correct them at least slightly to make them look similar, and so on. Many of the images are smaller than 500px on the long side, which is another issue.

I think you are putting way too much sales pitch and "image" on your free site, and not encouraging people to move forward to your sales page. I had to look twice to figure out if your site was a content site or a sales page. While it is not a link, I look at your page and I see many sales pitches, and I count each of those sales pictures as links... It's pretty intense on the advertising side.

It just doesn't feel right.
