Please review my 3rd Free Site

[Mateusz]

Your Heather's banner on main page is totally blind (pic linked to sponsor) and would get declined at most link list.

Also.. these are friendly advices but thse things shouldnt affect your listings at LL

I suggest creating folder at root of domain and place there all free sites - when you got 5 sites in the root of domain is ok, but later it becomes pain in the ass.. such mess in the root domain.. there definately will come hub pages and so on..

It's also possible that owner of oliversgirls.com won't be happy when you advertise other sponsors with his conent.. some sponsors don't mind but better ask now or you may lost piece of cash in future...

I did not think it was blind as it was at all - there were no thumbs on it. However to play it safe I have changed it a little more to make it look more like an advert

I would normally do the folder idea but this site will only have a max of 20-30 freesites.

I have taken the AFF banner of the gallery page and put it on index. So now only Olivers adverts are with the content.

I'm thinking you may have problems with a few link lists that don't like ads in the middle of the thumbs. Not sure about that though.

I'd list it as is. I've even got a bikini category http://freepicssex.com/bikini-babes.html

Send me a PM if you submit it.

I was just building a submition database and added your site

I'll be submitting in an hour or two once I have made the full database.

I have heard about the ads in the middle thing - What are LL owners views on this and why dont they like it?? Will i not get listed because of it?

I don't have a clue why some link lists don't allow ads in the middle of the thumbs.

I got an answer from Panky on Netpond:

Center ads: The reasoning behind sites not liking center ads on galleries is because the content is the main focus of a gallery, not advertising. When people use center ads, the ad distracts the surfer from the content. Some reviewers do not like this because their focus is on the content. The amount of content a site has to offer is partly what helps to increase bookmarkers for a site. Bookmarkers are money to a site. If sites continually list galleries where the advertising seems to be the main focus, such as the use of center ads, they run the risk of losing bookmarkers and/or the rate of bookmarking declines.

Always remember that the main focus of a reviewer is the content on the page. Reviewers care about advertising in a sense that they don't want false advertising or links that mess with surfers, but if your content is not the main focus of your gallery, you will get listed at a lot less places.

Content is also what sells the surfer. Surfers are not going to click an ad just because it is there. Surfers visit galleries for the content. If you can not sell them on your content, you will not sell them on your advertising. Content and advertising must work together to sell a surfer.

That's sounds like they're trying to tell the free site builders that they should focus on making the link lists surfers happy with free content, and shouldn't worry so much about silly little things like paying the rent. Next time someone from a link list tells you that, ask them why they have paysites listed before freesites, if the content is so important.
