My first freesite ever! Tell me your opinion!

Typically, 3 lines of text linked MAX per link. On your inside page, I was sort of 50/50 on the number of links... a major blind link betweent the galleries, the banner on the right, then the smaller banner on the bottom, and then the text next to it (which isn't clearly part of the same banner). Looking at it that way, I was able to find 4 to 5 links on the page... which would be an instant decline.

You need to have to text in there with nothing on it. Free sites are not all about CTR, we don't need to trick people to click. Make your links clear, and make them direct, and put some nice supporting text around that isn't linked to pump up your sponsor. Right now your site reads way too much as a "come on"... as a surfer, I would be long gone before I even saw the galleries.
