There the pages are, woo missed the enter link altogether, that tells you something...the top link which is blind looks like the enter link and the enter link looks like the sponsor link. No point in putting two banners for the same site on the same front page (same thing for the main page), you've got a big one on top and a little button on the bottom. Use banners for different sites. You might want a better enter and exit link design, bigger, bolder, use more text contrast. Text itself can be indented a bit of the lines on the table. Never been a big fan of horizontal gallery links either unless they are hotspots. You can save youself a link and use it for another sponsor by changing the 2257 link to text only. Seems like you're trying to trick the surfer into something rather than sell them. I'm not sayng I wouldn't list it just gentle suggesstions on how to improve it.

Yep, lots of blind links...here's a good thread on the subject;

Also, the color scheme is hard on the eyes. Text blends into the background...and the dark blue links just kinda hurt.

Think you'll also need to deal with being blacklisted for free hosting before you'll get widespread acceptance.

As you see I am not using free hosting anymore, but there is no apeal link when I see my domain being blacklisted.I opened a thread on GG&J but with no answers.Emailed two times at usefulscripts with no answer so the only option that comes to my mind now is to get a new domain...
I agree with your suggestions and will read this thread you gave me.
all the best

ok I am not sure the sponsor will agree to advertise other sites with his free content or I am wrong?(not sure)Be more specific about the 2257 link I don`t think the reviews count it as an inbound link?So if it is text only is it legal? |confused|
thanks and all the best

This can be a close decision. An occasional sponsor could be unhappy. In general, if the page you're using the content on is primarily focused on the sponsor (80%) providing it, you're not going to have a problem by adding a secondary, minor link to another site in a related category or even better use the link to connect back to one of your own pages in your main site.

Again, here use the link to try and sell the surfer something either to a related sponsor site or back to your main site pages. You should always provide the 2257 info but you don't have to use up a valuable link to do it.

Instead of :
<a href="mysponsor/2257.htm">2257 Info</a>

just add the link location as text like:

2257 Info= www.mysponsor/2257.htm

Hope that helps
