The Simple, Basic Free Site

[MorganGrayson]

We're going to start at the beginning, where all novice webmasters should start. I'm going to free-associate much of this. It's going to come right off the top of my head, which means there will be typs, dangling participles and occasionally ending a sentence with a preposition.

Not to mention some pretty rough talk.

The first of the rough talk: all your life you've been told "anything worth doing is worth doing well" and "do your best work." The first thing I'm going to tell you is what you currently think is your best work is time wasting bullshit that won't make you money.

Take your wonderful graphic and design skills and stick them in a drawer for a while.

You are NOT here to *entertain* the surfer. The surfer is NOT your client. Never in the history of the internet has a surfer ever sent a check to a webmaster. Your SPONSORS are your clients.

You're not here to make "pretty sites" to impress anyone. Nobody is going to "ooh" and "ahh" over your pretty websites. The surfer wants to look at porn...and you want the surfer to get the hell OFF your site and go sign up with your sponsor.

DO NOT EVER put "bookmark this site!" on a free site. Think about it. Do you really want some clown coming back repeatedly, enjoying your 20 or so pics and eating up your bandwith? No, you don't.

Do not put "e-mail the webmaster" on a free site. What in the hell would you want with mail from these people???

There's only THREE kinds of links that belong on a freesite. One, is of course, your thumbs to your big pics. The second is your sponsor links. The third are your linkback buttons to the linksites to which you submitted.

In other words, if it doesn't get you a chance to make money, or a chance to get you traffic, it doesn't belong on your site.

Novice webmasters should always learn the business through building simple, basic freesites. That's what this thread will discuss. No frills freesites.

They will have five pages.
index.html
main.html
gallery1.html
gallery2.html
2257.html

Now, the main and gallery pages will be renamed with keywords. The 2257 info is kept on a separate page, with a tiny link to it at the bottom of the index page, because that gives your site one more page for the spiders to crawl. Your meta tags will be on it. (Spiders are stupid. They'll think it's a content page.)

More to follow. Much more. :)

[MorganGrayson]

This page is "prime real estate." It's the page the surfer hits first. It's the page the SE (search engine) spiders hit first. It's the page submitted to the "big" linksites for traffic.

Novices, we're going to build this page slowly, and not necessarily in order. In other words, we'll start out putting things at the top, then later come back and put other things above them.

Mainly, this page will contain:
Three sponsor banners/links
Lots of keyword laden text
Your "warning" paragraph
The linkback tables to the linksites to which you submit
A very clear "enter link"
The tiny link to your 2257 information at the bottom

[Quagmire]

Hey, I'm following your thread and you haven't watered it in 11 days. Its going to wither and die soon!

I build freesites and see sales from them, but I ALWAYS want to see what other people have to say about how they build them and what works for them.

[MorganGrayson]

Hi Quagmaire. Thanks for bumping this. I do need to get to work on it, else I will stop getting such nice pms from people. Thanks for the bump. :)

[MorganGrayson]

Some things SEs like:
the < h1 >< /h1 > tags, for keywords at the very top of your page.
the < b >< /b > tags, also for keywords at the very top of your page.
the "alt" tags, also for keywords
the names of the images. For example, whatever banner you use may come with it's own often incomprehensible name. Rename the thing to hyphenated keywords when you save it. For example, if I was downloading an AdultDateLink banner to try and covert their mature site, I would rename the banner "date-mature-women.gif" for example.

Site titles: you can either use text for the title or a very simple graphic. Now, this graphic will allow you to use an alt tag full of keywords for the SEs, and thus is a good thing. But the graphic should be *simple,* just colored text in a font that matches the background of your site. Absolutely NOTHING on your site should pull the surfer's eye AWAY from your sponsor's banners.

You are allowed three sponsor links for each page by all major linksites. Use them well. Preferably, only one of them should be animated. Otherwise, the whole page is moving and the collective result is to make the eye turn off.

Each banner or text link should live in its own eye catching table with plenty of text around it, linked or unlinked. Make your banners pop. They should leap off the page. Use alt tags for all banners and title tags for all linked text. (A "title" tag is like an "alt" tag for a link. After the sponsor link, put a space then title="" with keywords in between the quotation marks. Then when the surfer cursors over the linked text, the tag will pop up.)

Next up, since we're on the index page, we'll work on the crucial "warning statement" that all sites must have.

[MorganGrayson]

All freesites need to start with an index/warning page. On this page, there should be absolutely NO hardcore. None. Zip. Nada. That means choose your banners carefully. All orifices should remain uninserted. Save your hardcore banners for *inside the site.* You'll have three pages to put hardcore banners on.

All index/warning pages must also contain the "warning." We may be drifting into "one webmaster's opinion" time heavily here, but what the hell, it's my thread.

Don't put your warning in a text box. Put it right on the page. Make it a smaller font and a different color than your usual text. The warning has to be there, but you're not writing an essay for the surfers to read.

Provide an exit link in your warning, preferably to either one of your nonadult sites or to a nonadult sponsor of yours. (Let them figure out how to get to Google on their own. Sending them there with your exit link gets you nothing, unless you happen to have the site listed on google, in which case you must link your exit link to the specific page your site is on to get any SE weight out of the link...which means you no longer have a nonadult exit link.)

This is a sample warning:
Before continuing, please be advised:
This adult sex site is intended for the entertainment of legal adults *only.* The free amateur sex pics and erotic text contained herein discuss sexual situations in a frank and open manner. Do not make this site available to minors. If you are offended by free sex pics and erotica, i.e. porn, please leave now. You are responsible for knowing and abiding by the standards in your own locality.

As you can see, I've worked a few keywords into that warning. Since it's text on the page, the SE thinks of it as "content," which is how I want the SE to think of it. I link the "leave now" to my nonadult site. It's short, it's simple...and you can work a lot more keywords into it.

If you have a black site, insert the word "black" before "adult sex site," call them "free black sex pics" and "black erotica" instead of "erotic text."

You can do the same with any niche. Work the keywords *into* your warning, making the warning itself do double duty. It covers your ass, as it is supposed to, and it feeds the spiders some content.

With regards to layout, I put my warning above my linkback buttons and my enter link. I save the top of the page for a couple of sponsor banners, the formatted keywords, the site title and descriptive text.

[shade001]

Excellent.

I love how you suggest working keywords into your warning text.

I mean, I like all of it but that sticks out as something many webmasters don't do.

[war_ner]

Worth a time man! Nice post. :D

[MorganGrayson]

Eventually, it will strike you that you'll have to figure out what to call the thing. You want it to be an evocative title, i.e. one that the surfer will find clickable. You want it to accurately describe the pics. For the SEs, you'd want it to have keywords in it.

Often it's difficult to combine all three of those elements into one maximum three word title.

You can do one of two things: put the title in text on the page or make a graphic and get the keywords into the alt tags. (SEs like alt tags and graphic names.)

If you make a graphic, make it a simple one. Don't have it pull the eye away from your sponsor banners. A nice font with complimentary colors on a background that matches the background of your site is enough. Name the graphic a keyword or keyword phrase, and use an alt tag for keywords.

For example "Felicia Fucks Everybody" is a nice title for a group sex site, but it contains no "group sex" keywords. Make the graphic, name it group-sex.jpg and use the alt tag to hold group sex keywords, and you've fed the SEs. If you had just put that in text on the page, unless a surfer happens to be searching for "Felicia fucks everybody," it does you no good as far as SE food.

Underneath your site title, however you make it, put text. Keyword laden text that describes Felicia and her group sex adventures. You're not writing a novel, just feeding the spiders and making your surfer want to continue.

[MorganGrayson]

Always read the rules of the linksites to which you plan to submit. This seems like a simple thing, but as any frustrated linkmaster will tell you - it isn't.

Once you've read the rules and determined if your site meets the criteria, make absolutely certain that you: 1) have the *correct* recip link on the index/warning page and 2) are submitting to the correct category. (This one particularly drives linkmasters crazy.)

How many linkbacks should you have? Well, if the sites you're submitting to have a preference, they'll tell you. Otherwise, I'd start with 8-10, in neat tables, and see if you're accepted by the sites.

Note: always check to see if your sites have been accepted by the sites to which you submit. You don't want to wast a lot of time submitting to sites that aren't listing you. Also, check your stats to see if these sites are indeed sending you traffic. You don't want to waste time on submitting to sites that don't send you traffic.

Put your third sponsor link under your linkback table and above your "Enter" link, which of course should be large and visible. It should also be the only time you put the word "Enter" on the page. Don't put it in text links and avoid banners that say "Enter." (Some linkmasters can be sticklers on this.)

I put "Enter Site Name," with of course, the site title in place of "Site Name." I also put a title tag on the link that says something like "free sex pics." ("free black sex pics" if it's a black site, and so on."

Under the "Enter" link, I have a table that contains the ICRA button (unlinked) and a < td > reminding parents that they ought to raise their damned kids (I don't actually phrase it that way, but I'd like to) and type out the url to a couple of filtering software companies. *None* of that is linked.

Under that, at the very bottom of the page, is the tiny link to my 2257 Compliance Information, which is available from every content provider or sponsor. DO NOT make the mistake of linking directly to the page on the sponsor's website that has the information. If you do, you've just sent a surfer to the site *without* having first had him click on your affiliate link. He can now sign up at the site without YOU making any money. I've seen webmasters do this and it makes me want to scream. Make pages with the 2257 info for everybody you use and keep them handy.

Remember: unless it gives you traffic or a chance to make money, do NOT link it.

Thanks for that informative posts Grayson. :)

Please call me "Morgan," everybody does. :)

I may not be :gorgeous: but I do have :boobies: ! :D

[MorganGrayson]

No matter how hard I try to methodically go down the pages of the "Simple, Basic Freesite," I'm going to forget something or state something in an unclear manner.

I want all newbies - I prefer "novices" but most boards call new webmasters "newbies" - and lurkers (people reading but not as of yet posting) to know that questions are appreciated. ALL questions.

As it has so often been said, the only "stupid question" is the one you didn't ask.

I've heard them all...coming out of my own mouth. :) Frankly, I'd like to find a prize to give out to the person who asks a question I either haven't asked myself or haven't heard before. :)

Ask it in a post, or if you don't feel comfortable doing that, send me a private message. Believe me, I remember how difficult it was to make my first posts. I was SO afraid of saying something stupid. However, if you look around a bit, you'll realize people are saying stupid things on boards all the time...and nobody keels over dead from it. ;)

If you ask a question to which I do not know the answer, I can guarantee you that I know someone that *will* know the answer. This thread is meant to assist you in the most important thing of all...making money.

I'm doing this thread to repay a debt. A lot of people helped me when I first started out in this business. I can't do anything for them personally at this point, so I repay the debt by helping other newbies.

In a sense, we're all "newbies." This business changes so quickly that we're all climbing up one learning curve or another.

I can also give you a hand, metaphorically speaking, in email or ICQ if you'd prefer. But...we'd love it if you felt comfortable enough to post and become a happy XNationer. This is a good board. A *very* good board. Nobody will flame you or piss with you if you come out of the shadows and post. (Funbrunette will have them for lunch if they do!) :D

Yes, Morgan, I do lurk on this thread. :D

And yes, I have said some dumb things on other boards, lol.

I'm saving this in a word document.

Great work. :xthumbs:

[Mr. Blue]

Very nice thread Morgan :)

I have a question, I'm not a novice though, but with freesites I'm willing to admit a little lack of knowledge at times as it's not my specialty.

My question is, how many link lists should you submit to? I have a working theory that submitting to a lot of Link Lists is a bad thing. My theory basically follows that if you duplicate a freesite to accomodate 100 Link Lists, that google and other engines will nail you because of their duplicate page penalty.

The smaller Link Lists will also barely send you a trickle of traffic, which also makes me wonder if its a productive endeavor. Is building and designing pages for say 12 Big LinkLists and gearing it towards SE traffic a better idea? Or should you submit to as many places possible?

Excellent questions, and I do thank you, Mr. Blue. http://www.porn-sex-adult-xxx.com/smilies/wavey.gif

First off - unless I have misunderstood you - you do not "duplicate" a freesite. You'd make one site with an index page. The linkbacks on this index page would go to the big linksites. You'll get most of your traffic from them and from your SE optimization. In fact, in most cases, you'll get *all* of your traffic that way.

Once upon a time, I made "doorway" pages on which I put tables of linkbacks to smaller linksites. Carefully watching my stats showed me that I got little or no traffic that way. It was a waste of time. (See "note," though.)

The only exceptions might be an "enter.html" page for niche specific linksites and toplists.

Not all small linksites *stay* small linksites, though. Some are in the hands of knowledgeable webmasters and will grow. If you want to play a hunch that a group of smaller linksites might turn into bigger linksites, make a doorway page with a table of linkbacks for them and get in on the ground floor. You can even help them grow, should you be of a mind to, by occasionally putting their linkback button on your index page. Few things make a linkmaster's heart sing like seeing their linkback button in amongst the big kids.

Note: one of the linkback buttons that is now on my index page permanently started out as a "doorway page" linkback....because I thought the site was pretty and the webmaster had worked his/her ass off on it. As it turned out, I got a lot of traffic from them. I wouldn't have known that if I hadn't taken a shot on them with a doorway page.

However, always remember that you're doing this to make money.

Submitting, like most other things, follows the "do everything" philosophy. First off, try doorway pages and pay attention to your stats. Find out if you're getting traffic from the smaller linksites and adjust the pages accordingly. Pare them down, in other words. See if you can end up with just a doorway or two that actually sends traffic. Always put the "big linksites" on the index.html page. However, use actual words for your doorway pages, such as enter.html, entrance.html, keyword.html, keyword-keyword.html...NOT index43.html. That's guaranteed to piss off the linkmaster of even the tiniest site.

Since we're discussing submitting...I just thought of something else. Some linksites want their big pics alone, some allow them on .html pages. If you do a doorway that allows pics on .html pages, WITHIN THE SAME FOLDER, make a separate main page and gallery pages, named with keywords. Index could lead to a main page that leads to galleries with pics alone; the doorway page could lead to a main page that leads to gallery pages with pics on .html pages with a banner or text link. That's a lot of bang for the buck for the same 20 pics.

Thank you, shade, my same-name-buddy! :blush:

You've made a *great* point, and I can't thank you enough.

When you run across a thread, a post, a whatever - SAVE it in a .txt file for further review. You can also add your own notes that way. A folder on your harddrive entitled "stuff I learned" or whatever can really help you out.

I get to have Kirby with me now because I sat down and made a "smilies.txt" file and can stick all my favorite little smilies in.

Not the most important example in the world...but definitely an example of the magic of .txt files.http://www.porn-sex-adult-xxx.com/smilies/carrotdancer.gif

[Mr. Blue]

Ah interesting, I've noticed though that many of the mid-sized to smaller LL's want the same "treatment" as the big linklists and they don't want doorway pages. So the structure would be

index
main
Gallery one
Gallery two

And that would have to be in it's own folder. That's where I thought the duplication penalty would come into play because you would have say 4 folders, 4 websites, basically with the same information (you can link the photos, thumbnails in a seperate directory though cause it would be insane to do otherwise).

I group the big LL's together, that page almost always ends up with a PR 2 or 3...the smaller pages either never get PR or might scrape out a PR1. That's what got me thinking about the whole, "Less is More" type thing, at least if you're going after SE traffic.

I suppose you could change the alt tags, the description on the pages, etc, but I thought that might be overkill for a site that will give you little traffic and a little pr bounce.

I know there's ways to remove the duplication penalty by using a robot.txt to not index the secondary sites, but I haven't done that as I think it would piss off the smaller LL's who tend to act like they're the big ones, lol.

[MorganGrayson]

Mr. Blue...what I tend to do with smaller linksites who make demands as if they were the "big ones" that are going to bomb me with traffic is generally ignore them. A linksite expects a fair shot at getting traffic back, which is fair, but demands for a totally unequal relationship is rediculous.

A long time ago, I owned a small linksite. I never demanded index.html and "big guy" placement. I *did* inform the submitters that as a writer, I knew a lot of words and they could put a little effort into coming up with an actual word for the doorway pages. (I helped out by supplying a list of suggested words.) I discovered that my linksite button had a tendency to travel over to a lot of webmaster's index.html page, which gratified me to no end.

I'm working - albeit slowly - on a new linksite (I miss having one, which is proof indeed of how totally daft I am) and once again, I will certainly *not* demand to be put on the index.html page. I'll make the same request to use "enter.html" instead of "index43.html," though.

Now, some of you might be muttering "oh, surely that '43' is hyperbole, Morgan." (Or if not "hyperbole," certainly somebody said "exageration.") Well, you'd be wrong. Yes, there are indeed freesite webmasters out there submitting to that damned many linksites and I have absolutely NO idea why...unless they're using an autosubmitter, which will get them banned at most of the big sites.

One thing you might consider doing, Mr. Blue, is what you touched on: using the same pics but in effect making four *different* sites. Using a text editor with a search-and-replace feature will let you easily change all the alt tags, text, titles, even banners and text links. (Same sponsors, just different banners, or rename the banners and use the same ones, but change the text around it.) That way you may visually have four of the same site, but the SEs can't see it, they can only read it.

When you do this, make certain that you use the affiliate codes that allow you to put a code letter on them to let you know which of the sites convert. You may find that you get a small amount of traffic from a smaller linksite...but it's *good* traffic that converts.

Checking your stats will tell you how much traffic you get, but only those codes will tell you if the traffic is converting on a specific site. Now, it won't narrow down which of the smaller linksites on the index page sent the traffic, but it will help you decide if you are optimizing your time.

Freesites are done on the "shotgun" method: fire it out there and see what happens. Remember that your time is valuable, though.

[Mr. Blue]

Very interesting Morgan, that certainly is a unique look on the topic and I could see how a doorway page that's completely varied with text, alt tags, etc, would eliminate the duplication penalty. Since you're only editing one page as well, it shouldn't be too time consuming to create a doorway page that's effectively stacked with keywords.

I'll always consider myself more of a "TGP" guy, but I do like to learn all the avenues of porn and appreciate you responding so clearly and detailed on the topic. Thanks :)

Let me know when you get your LL up and I'll add you to the small group that I submit to :D

[MorganGrayson]

Mr. Blue...thank you! :blush:

The linklist is taking a *lot* of work. Last time around, lo these many years ago, I made a "pretty" linksite. I did my own descriptions, which made my traffic soar. I got fan mail. (In fact, one of the more mortifying moments of my life was when a friend of one of my daughters howled "YOUR *MOTHER* IS MORGAN GRAYSON?!?!?! I LOVE HER SITE! I'VE GOT IT BOOKMARKED!" I crawled under the bed for a few days before I could begin to cope with *that.*)

This time around I have a "mentor," a gentleman with a successful linksite that's been around forever. It's changed my perspective on a lot of things, but in a very good way. I'm hoping to make this site grow to the benefit of everyone involved, myself and my submitters.

It's a *lot* of work to do this right. :)

[MorganGrayson]

First off, your "main page" does NOT have to be named "main.html." I did that for a very long time, until the idiocy of it struck me. Name it a keyword. If it's a black site, call it something like "black-sex.html." Anything that will get more keywords into the site you're creating.

This site will be constructed simply:
Three banners
Your title or logo
Some keyword laden descriptive text
Your gallery links

We're going to discuss this a little out of order, per usual. http://www.porn-sex-adult-xxx.com/smilies/wavey.gif

The gallery links. Now, calling them "gallery 1" and "gallery 2" may be accurate, but it gets no keywords into the site. Neither does calling those pages "gallery1.html" and "gallery2.html."

We'll pretend we're making a "black sex site."

Name the gallery pages "black-sex-pics-1.html" and "black-sex-pics-2.html" (Or "black-porn-1.html" or whatever your little heart desires. Remember, these pages aren't going to be submitted to anything on their own, so the names can be as long as you want. Make sure there's a hyphen before the "1" and the "2," though, or it will confuse the search engines.)

The links on the main page should be called "Black Sex Pics Gallery #1" and "Black Sex Pics Gallery #2" or whatever. That not only gets in more keywords, it makes the links bigger and easier to find. (Linkmasters like that part.) You can also put unlinked text about your pic gallery links, describing what the pics are about. It gets in more keywords and it makes sure the surfer will stick around on your site, thus seeing your banners.

Don't waste your time making graphics to link your galleries. They pull the eye away from your sponsor banners and you don't EVER want that.

Make sure your gallery links are in the same size font you use for everything else. Don't cheat and make them tiny. You won't get listed that way.

[MorganGrayson]

If the index page can be called "the doorway" to the site, the main page is the "hallway." (I like metaphors.)

The most noticeable things on your main page should be your sponsor banners. They should be in the same color tables (borders and background colors) that you used on the main page. It prevents the "head jerking back" reaction of surfers who are subjected to too much stimulous.

It's tempting to make graphic links to your galleries for some, but don't do it. It draws the eye away from your banners. Also, if you've used a graphic logo on the index page and used keywords for the search engine, you might consider just writing the site title in text on the main page. Remember: the banners should totally POP out at the surfer.

My free sites have a touching sameness about them. This doesn't bother the linkmasters to whom I habitually submit, because my sites are very clean...and well...I'm a nice person who doesn't ever break any rules. This is one of those things where your "reputation" as a webmaster is crucial. If the linkmasters begin to recognize your name when you submit and can think "this person *never* changes their site after submission; never breaks my rules; never uses one sponsor's content to push another; etc. and so on" you don't really have to worry about having 15 different templates waiting. I have two standard ones. On one, the linkback buttons are horizontal. On the other, the linkback buttons are vertical. (Same linkback buttons.) My main page always has a top banner, the title and some text - or not, depending on the mood I'm in; a table with the gallery links on the LEFT and a big sponsor banner in a table on the RIGHT.

The left/right thing is important. The eye goes right, and things on the right get clicked more.

I use some large half-page jpgs that I reduce to 80%, and some half page ads that are an OK size unreduced.

The gallery links are *never* just "gallery #1" and "gallery #2." That's a waste of keywords. For a big boobed blonde site, for example, the gallery links could say "Big Boob Blonde Sex Pics Gallery #1" and "Big Boob Blonde Sex Pics Gallery #2." Or "Free" between "Blonde" and "Sex." The other thing I do is put a table data tag in between the two gallery links with height=50 or something to push the two gallery links apart. (I put title tags on just about everything, including gallery and entrance links, just in case the ever-observant spider is reading them.)

Also remember that just because you are allowed three sponsor links per page doesn't mean you have to use three. You can only use two. I've always thought that if you overload the surfer with options his eyes cloud over and he sees nothing.

One animated gif on a page is sufficient. More than that and it seems as if the entire page is zipping around and it's too much.

A word about content:

Don't give the farm away. Most linksites require a minimum of 20 pics, and 20 pics is certainly enough, especially if you're making a hardcore site. I occasionally use 30, 3 galleries, if the pics are softcore. (If they are my own content, I can use any sponsors that I want on the site. If it's sponsor content, think it through. Does the sponsor have *enough* sites for you to promote with that content to justify three galleries? Or...do they have sufficient banners - different banners, allowing you to make your gallery pages look different and interesting - to promote a couple of sites?

I've always prefered making softcore sites. My reasoning is simple: the site is to titilate the surfer, NOT get him off. The whole point of this is to make the sufer get the hell off your site and go to your sponsor, NOT have a merry ol' time with your work.

Always, always remember you're not here to amuse the surfer. The surfer is NOT your "customer." He's NOT your "client." Your sponsor is. When you look at your site, ask yourself "have I done the absolute best that I can for my SPONSOR?"

Up next...how to make interesting, clickable text links to go above and below those banners in the colored tables.

[MorganGrayson]

This is about building a site, or more specifically using the same 20 pictures to build several different sites all within the same folder and submitting them to linksites with the use of "doorway" pages.

First, your largest linksites should always be on the "index.html" page of the domain/folder. Generally, these sites don't allow your pics to open on html pages.

Build a template that goes like this:
index.html (with the linkback buttons already in place for your selected "biggest" linksites - doesn't matter what category because you're going to replace them with each correct category for each site you make; what's most important is that the code is neat so that they're easy to replace.)
keyword.html (your main page)
sex-pics-1.html (your first gallery page)
sex-pics-2.html (your second gallery page.)
(have all the code for your pics and thumbs in place.

Copy these templates into the folder with your 20 pics. Note: I always rename my pics to 01.jpg, 02.jpg, to work with my templates. I hand code, so I want it simple.

We're making a "blonde" site here.

The index.html page goes to "blonde.html" as a main page. Rename the gallery pages to "blonde-sex-pics-1.html" and "blonde-sex-pics-2.html."

Now...your first doorway, to sites that also require pics to open without html pages.

For your template, make an "enter.html" page that has your selected doorway linksites already in place.

Enter.html can open to "blonde.html" or "main.html." I use a "main.html" because one of my enter.html linksites has a "vote for this site" feature to raise it in its rankings. I want enter.html to go to main.html then to sex-pics-1.html, because I put the ranking device along with some catchy text above it on the first or second gallery pages.

If you have a grouping of linksites that allow doorway pages (the ones that don't say "must be on index.html") and also allow pics to open on html pages with a sponsor link, make a third doorway, for instance "entrance.html" or "blonde-pics.html" that goes to something like "blonde-sex.html" that goes to blonde-pics-1.html that has your thumbs linking to html pages with sponsor links on them.

The "search/replace" feature in my Notetab Lite gets quite a workout sometimes, but *I* don't get a workout, and I like that. :)

You'll only have 20 pics and 20 thumbs taking up space on your server, but you've in effect made three different sites with them and submitted them to a lot of different linksites.

Will this make you more money? Perhaps. Sorry, but that's all I can give you. A good, solid "perhaps."

Yeppers. :)

I imagine it gives you a nice "been there, done that ad nauseum" feel. ;)

But if there's one thing you can always count on it's new webmasters...most of whom are muttering "what? how? yikes!" to themselves.

Like we all once did, new webmasters out there. We all did. :)

Those aren't meant for the Zonda crowd.

They're meant for the Model T crowd.

Once they can stay on the road and not slam into objects, they can work their own way up to the Zonda...whatever the hell a Zonda is. :)

I have nothing to add to this thread. However, I wanted to take this moment to remind you that I am in fact Omnipresent.

And I'm fucking watching you. Carefully.
