I will agree with you to a point. When I build a free site, I usually use the same font & color scheme that the paysite tour has, which I feel leads to an easy flow from the free site to the paysite.

great thread .. excellent topic

I guess the focus on this board is LL .. and from a LL point of view I accept and agree with everything GG has shared with us. I personally don't list FHS at my LL and never will, no recip = no listing.

If the FHS are only used to build up LL .. then I feel enormous potential is being lost in the use of FHS .. LL is not the only game in town and FHS are not built for the exclusive use of LL .. I'm sure if any good webmaster put their mind to it they could come up with 10 valid uses for FHS that didn't include LL.

IMHO there is great benefit in strongly branded FHS that are not LL friendly.

Waz The original concept behind these was to give an alternative to LLs that matched the hosted galleries that TGPs use - and that was it.

I do agree there are other reasons to build hosted free sites of a different type for entirely different purposes as some programs have with their zipped sites etc - but this type of free site we are concentrating on here is really the LLs "filler" sites just like the hosted gals and thats really it

I'd hate to hear what you think about all those silly little TGPs listing all those silly little hosted galleries.

By the way, FHS = Furry Homo Sapien. HFS = Hosted Free Site.

Good idea, I'd use a sponsor who gave me a furry homosapien.

You mean the freesites, or the paysites they're linked to?
..and I don't take that bashing, unless it was ment like "I've seen indetical shit around since 1998, upgrade your stuff moron"

I've submitted several of very similar sites to these over the years...
( http://list-x.com/shaved/shavedbpussy/ ) for example...

if you mean the paysites, then I have one other sponsor using very similar tours, mainly because I did them. But I haven't done any designs for 'clients' for a few years. Atleast any that are online yet. Not quite sure what you ment with your comment though..

Your free site galleries look familiar. I've seen very similar at maybe, Sunny Dollars? |confused| Hell, at my age everything looks familiar, or does it? (I've had a drink or 6, ignore me)

You REALLY see how the same basic template structure is being re-used by looking at multiple free sites promoting the same paysite.

http://fetishpimp.com/free/redheaddreams/freesite1/
http://fetishpimp.com/free/redheaddreams/freesite2/
http://fetishpimp.com/free/redheaddreams/freesite3/
http://fetishpimp.com/free/redheaddreams/freesite4/
http://fetishpimp.com/free/redheaddreams/freesite5/

One of the greatest annoyances on those HOSTED FREE SITES (not free hosted sites) is the keyword stuffing of the thumbs' alt tags. It's pointless and, as I said, annoying.

One of the reasons I very rarely use HFSs is due to the fact that they quickly begin to look the same. If I can't add more than a couple of a sponsor's HFSs without seeing the same template, I simply don't bother. Some people seem to think that changing one graphic or the background color is enough to call it a new template. It's not. Think about the overall layout of the site.

I didn't go through them all, but two of the three links on this page are blind: http://fetishpimp.com/free/divinemel...lery1.php?ref=

Gotta let the surfer know where they are going or that they have to join something in this day and age.

thats a awfully tight definition of blind link .. "LADIES WHO'RE BLESSED WITH HEAVENLY BOOBS" and the surfer gets a boob site with a nice selection of thumbs for them to gawk at .. not blind in my opinion

nice work TeenGodFather .. I like your templates

Yes they are, and it was a conscious decicion to make them that way, both graphics and similarity. Just to save time to be honest. You wouldn't list those on your site because they're too similar in appearance?

The sites are not yet live as isn't my affiliateprogram version 2, so I still have time to shake things around. However I'd hate to just discard those sites and start from scratch, as even with the same template it took me quite a few days to make those all...

Hmmm.. why? I can remove them, but I'd like to know why.

I quite honestly thought it WAS enough. It IS enough when submitting GALLERIES.

Ah, woudn't know about that. I know one that I use FHG's with quite similar galleries, and one other sponsor to whom I made galleries for. But not sunnydollars, not sure if I've even seen a sunnydollars gallery..but a gallery can't get more basic than this.

<HEADER>
<thumbs>
<text>
<thumbs>
<text>
<thumbs>
<bottom>

so I'm sure there's quite a lot of galleries that looks pretty similar

I personally like a "non professional" looking site. one that looks like a submitted site as opposed to a paysite. They are well made from a desing and appearance, but i like more text, less graphics and clearly defined ads or banners with text.

I also, presonally, like clearly defined galleries instead of thumbnail looking images linked to a gallery with no "gallery 1", etc text. I see the alt, but like something in text.

You already mentioned adding titles instead of the paysite.

These are my preferences, but you definately want the big guys opinions as they'll send the most traffic.

I'll take that into account when I do the next batch of freesites sometime in the future

Shouldn't be hard to put a text under the thumb or whatever to mark them as gallery. Will have a slave do that if I remember tomorrow (it's 3 something am now. heh)

Yeah, I'll change the foldernames to match the graphic/title on the site. (and I think I ought to change the actual <title> as well).

I've been out of the freesite loop for so long that I don't even know who the big guys are above the ones that were big guys 3 years ago.

alot of places consider most things a blind link unless it just says the actual address with or without the id or extension.

http://www.porn.com/amateur/whoeveraffiliate.cgi?1231
should just be http://www.porn.com/amateur/ kinda thing. just saying boobs even if it goes to a boob picture is a kind of blind link.

Bill still owns PMB, but you're getting off topic.

Sponsors are providing HFS and/or FHG for your convenience. To expect recips on top of the provision of content and site building is just ridiculous, IMHO.

I remember when to make money in this business it was required that you worked...like any business, it required an input of both cash and time to see a reward. I miss those days...
