Butcher does not know what he is talking about with your freesite. There are definitely some problems with it man. The first I saw being that you are showing hardcore on the warning page. That's a big no no. Think about it, the warning page is to warn you that you are about to see hardcore stuff, It is not supposed to be "Hey, Your seeing hardcorde stuff!". By then the surfer knows what they are looking at.

Now, you want more advice on what to do with it, come here and see me or Trev or Jizz, or go over to VNWR ot over to Netpond or Tommies or any of the other LEGITIMATE newbie resources.

Because the only thing Butcher knows how to do is scam.

Point number 2 on your warning page. And It is not that it is too busy.

Flip flop your top banner and the title of the page.

Put the banner and sales text right in their face as soon as they load the page. You want them to click to that sponsor as soon as possible, you don't give a shit if they see the rest of the page.

You want more, you got to come here :groucho:

Spideriux, I tell you, you aren't gonna get what you need over there man.

Overall the layout is ok.......... i personally would add a banner on the gallery pages.


:headwall: :headwall:

Dude, we aren't even done with the warning page yet !

There are enough problems there yet to be taken care of dammit before you worry about your gallery pages etc.

Here's a hint. Go over to one of the linklists Persian Kitty, Green Guy, Richards Realm, any of them. Read their rules. Pay particular attention to where they say the recips need to be. Your warning page layout will not allow the recips to be where most linklists want them.

But like I say, you need to come here or over to a newbie board because Butcher does not know what he's talking about.

Ok, fuck, Iwent and did the warning page critique anyway :headwall:

Haven't done one in a while :)


here is what I see on the warning page that needs to change:

Warning Page:

Switch out the hardcore banner for a softcore banner

Flip flop the title and the top ad. Put the ad in their face when the page loads.

Put the text around the banner instead of just below it.
Make the text a light color up against the dark blue background. White, Yellow, whatever, make it so they can read it.

Reduce the amount of space around the title. Blank space is often wasted space.

The recips need to be moved somewhere below the EXIT link and above the ENTER link.

So, first of all get the recips out of your way. Expand your warning text to a wider shorter box. Put the EXIT link directly below the Warning Box.

After the exit link, table out your recip links.

(I would go Exit link, then an ad, then the recip table, but thats just me)

Below the recip link, put your enter link. or an ad and then your enter link.
Make them look for that fucking link. Thats what should be in black on the dark blue background.

draw their attention to the sponsors, not the free porn.

Bottom ad. Link all of that text, not just the CLICK HERE part.

Put mouseover code on both of your ads and on the exit link to hide your referral ids. People are more likely to click on something that says http://www.mysponsor.com

then they are to click on something that says http://www.mysponsor.com?affid=1256%&^%90&ref=23jj67
That looks like some sort of virus code to a user.

I would definitely have 3 ads on the warning pages. I have pretty much used 3 on the warning page on just about every free site I ever built (if I didn't do 3 it was because I wanted an extra outbound link for something else). I have never had any kind of rejection problem on my sites.

If this is truly your first site, then it is a good start ! But it needs work before it is ready to be submitted anywhere imho.

[sarettah]

Ok, went and reviewed some rules over at GGs and Richards (haven't submitted in a while...lol..and rules do change) Richards did not require a recip so did not address where it had to be. Greenguy says it has to be above the enter link.

I would have to go look at some more, but the recip position on the original warning page might be ok. Test might be if they accept it or not.

This has been a big thing amongst Newbies over the last few years and it's 100% wrong.

I'm not sure if it's been deliberately distributed to keep newbies down, or if it's just an accident of the blind leading the blind.
