I have to agree with UW, with the zango links and all!

Huge nods... you made changes, but what kind of changes? Your images still look funky. Zango and pop-ups are instant kill for me. I hate to sound harsh, but I know we said all of this before.

Strong strong suggestion here. Go to any of the other gallery type sites and look them over critically. What do you see that you like? That you don't like? Then look at yours. Yes, you cleaned up most of your typos and categories -- but you still need an English spell checker. Women especially are put off by poor grammar and spelling. Learn how to make thumbnails if your sponsor doesn't provide them.

Your site also still loads very slow, and I am on a moderate-rate broadband connection. I cannot even imagine what someone on dialup or DSL must go through to see your site. Fixing your thumbs will help.

Fortunately my pop-up blocker did it's job...

Looks like you're trying to force the images into a specific thumb dimension which skews their proportions and makes the pics look bad.

You'd be better off cropping the images to your desired size.

So did mine, but that's not the point. The site doesn't deserve further review.

Apologize

Hi All,

First, I did not mean to offend you.
I entered the ads on my site few days ago in order to test if the ads mechanism works.
I didnt intent to use you in order to make money (After all, the 10 persons who entered my site would not make the difference).

The first review was very helpful to me.

Sorry Again,
Picnclip

Picnclip,I think most might be a bit more disgusted rather then offended with the pop up stunt.Here's my review.I hope I don't sound like a total prick but if I do...so be it.

Basicly your site as it is now just ain't happening dude.It makes no attempt to convey any kind of message or communicate with the surfer on any level.It's just a single white page with cheap looking thumbs.You fixed them up a bit but they still look sort of half assed and sloppy no offense.Even if your thumbs looked good though,your site still wouldn't have enough original content to keep even the most desperate surfer interested.

This is only a suggestion (a nice way of saying 'Do this if you want to progress') but you should just gut that script and all the galleries off the server and start over with a script called TGPX.I could shamlessly link my affiliate code but....just google it.

TGPX is perfect for what your trying to do.It's easy to use,keeps all your galleries organized and has a gallery cropper tool that let's you cut perfect looking thumbs in 'real time' as they say.You didn't really do to much work so far so it won't be painful to just start over.

Picnclip,the best thing you did so far in your quest to becoming a adult webmaster was stumbling upon this board. GreenguyandJim's is by far the most friendly,helpful boards I've been to.If you listen to what others suggest and your willing to put in a little work and make changes,you can go far...or at least make some money doing this.

Amen to that.
Pinclip, You also need to understand this is not easy money and it takes a while to learn what you need to do to make money. Using pop ups will not earn you anything but distrust with a surfer. Also tgps require tons of traffic to make sales. Building a surfer friendly site is supposed to be the easy part, but getting the traffic and making good connections is the hard part. I have been doing this for a year almost, And i am nowhere near making a full time living. This is a business and you have to treat it like that.
Most people here will be more than happy to help you as long as you listen to them.
Good Luck To You
