As to templates and lack of originality? How original is it to slap up a downloaded sponsor site and pass it off as your work? Site after site built with the same forumlas... kinda boring really. Even the content on what I surfed was ho-hum. Is this really what you guys want? Heck, even if you pm me a couple without telling me what is what, it helps retrain these old eyes. Maybe today's surfers and LL owners want those cluttery sites. When I first started building freesites 10 years ago, the style was cluttery but with sponsor banners. Now it is huge text that screams out with tiny, almost invisible links to the content.

Justbondage hit the nail on the head. The chances of me posting links to what I consider to be the best free sites are pretty much the same as someone who writes really good sales text will post in this thread. Also, just because I look at them and think they're great, doesn't mean that they are producing tons of sales. Let's face it - one of the suckier parts of this business is that your work is out there for all of your competition to see. If you come up with something that is brilliant, any fool can come along and copy it. I think one of the keys to doing well is to not share everything on boards. Whether there is a correlation or not, I do not know, but I will tell you that the people I consider to be the best submitters are all members here and they hardly ever post. So, anyway, I share their work with surfers - not webmasters.

All my sites are perfect As you surf various LL's, remember that we list hosted FS's and galleries with our affiliate codes in them - this is how we justify the work of maintaining an LL - so some of the sites ma indeed be sponsor's hosted stuff. Bottom line, if you can see these things that are wrong, you ware well on the way to becoming a better FS builder. |

My clean sites don't bring the kind of sales I want yet, even though I am working my fingers off to be listed. Building trust and traffic is part of it, yes, and the sales will come as I get better known. The fact that my accepts far out number my rejects is a positive sign. I also noticed my traffic for month to date is now ahead of all of July, so I am on the right track. Obviously, you guys need sites in certain niches, and don't need sites in others. You also don't need just any sites, you want quality, as a wise man said. Just trying to help build what y'all need here. Still... I won't tell anyone if I get a pm with a couple of URLs. You don't have to tell me what is good and what isn't.. I should know, right? RIGHT! ah.. I hear a hairy bush calling me....

I'd like to think that I write great sales text, but I agree that I wouldn't spoon feed someone, rather, I'd point them in the right direction and give them the opportunity to figure it out for themselves. If everybody were to just lurk and never share any ideas, what's the point of this community? |

It would be like, there is no sharing there, just an ask and receive system. |

Here's the thing. I used to enjoy helping newbies and I'll still occasionally pop into a newbie thread to redirect it if I see someone is getting shit advice or an important fact is being left out. Do you know why I bother to do that? Because it'll make me look smart and experienced to some poor schmuck who doesn't know the truth; the reality that I'm nothing more than an angry little man who can't make things work, will never truly succeed in this business. So I make myself feel better by unleashing criticism and a torrent of explicatives on idiots who couldn't possibly put up a good defense in a battle of words against a guy like me - a wannabe English professor who'd rather wallow in self-pity and self-hatred than build the motivation to go back to school.

You tried your best and you failed miserably. The lesson is 'never try'
