can you please spare some time and look at my free site

Ok I do strugle alot with free sites and getting them listed. I understand that I need to change the links table to suit before submitting.
Is the general lay out OK ?

Also how many of you guys use FTV Girls hosted free sites?

Thanks Bake

That top metart banner add has what I would consider clickable thumbs that don't lead to images.

But more importantly, that's not really a standard free-site. Standard free-sites normally have an index/warning page that links to a main page with 2 gallery links, and each gallery page contains between 10-15 pictures.

Now I've seen what you have there work, but the one time I did see that type of free site work, the guy asked the LL owners ahead of time if they would accept such a site.

If you want to build standard free-sites it's easy. Go to any linklist and browse their listings to see what others have done -- don't steal the designs -- and get a basic understanding of the layout. Ignore the free-sites on the linklists that don't have recip tables, as those are sponser hosted free sites that don't need to follow the rules.

After you've surfed for a while, you'll probably get an idea of how a standard free-site looks. And if you are not getting accepted with standard sites then I sure as hell wouldn't try a non-standard one! Good luck! |thumb

But that's just a drunken Preacher talkin'

Listen to what Preacher said, it's good advice. The only thing you really need to do to make your site conform to the standard freesite concept is put a main page between the warning page and galleries, but I would have a problem with the inconsistency in design of the gallery pages and the index.

As far as using FTV Girls hosted freesites I'm sure many LL owners use them. As a submitter you shouldn't even think about it, it's a no-no.

BTW, the 2257 page has links to the sponsor site which will get you rejected many places.

I also agree ....the one thing too is that (although this site looks pleasing) you have too many galleries on this one. Generally as stated, most will average 2 galleries per free site -- some will do 3 and to have at least 10 pics on each. You have enough galleries here for three sites.

For your next sites, I'd definitely keep a good clean design going as you have, but it was also mentioned that you have clickable thumbs in your header which is something you dont' want to have...although I can understand your attempt.

As a side note, I am a fan of met-art and other similiar sites....which is content that I would like to see fill up our Softcore category.

Thank you for opions.
Forgot about the warning page deal thing.
So linking to pic of the day and the textbox on there are OK?

I was asking more about FTV girls hosted free sites to see if the people who used them found they converted and liked that style.

It's not a standart free site. So I don't think linklists will list it. Probably this article will help you: |spam| ;)

In addition to the spot on comments of Preacher, Lemmy and Goonie...you may want to re-consider building free sites on the root of your domains. You should get more se leverage on those domains by building multiple free sites on each...with a hub at the root...then interlinking the root hubs |thumb

Your site is a load of crap
