My 1st BSB site, please review

Since so many people are having good results with Intensecash, I decided to give BSB a try. So here's my first site promoting Broke Straight Boys.

http://www.free-porn-masters.com/sit...ghtassfucking/

I would be very grateful for any comments :) Don't hesitate to tell me what needs to be changed and if the site just won't work for BSB.

This concept has been used for promotion of Randyblue, and I was more or less satisfied with the results. But there the short videos were hosted on the sponsor's page, along with the join page, while here I'm giving the videos and the join page is still far away. Could that be a problem? Is putting static pics and videos on the same site a good idea anyway?

I'm thinking I might have given away too many pics and videos, and perhaps the surfers will be done before they join.

One suggestion.

Dump the pics on the warning page and think of ways to make sales.

My warning pages make about 20% of my sales for free sites.

Reagards,
abostonboy

or if you're gonna keep those pics.. at least have them link somewhere... As a surfer I like to click on pictures.

That would be blind links.

I like to use 1/2 page ads. Most gay sites are cool with them. Str8 sites iffy.

Basically a banner at the top. (maybe below the title), my adult warning, 1/2 page ad, recips, and enter.....

Not sure why you want the recips below the enter, If you are afraid of losing surfers then use text.

As a LL owner those recips don't send much out in all honestly.

Warning pages are great sales pages though....

Ok, dumped the second row of pics, and linked the two remaining to my linking code.

Could you be more specific about "think of ways to make sales"?

take the links off those pics on your warning page FAST or risk blacklisting virtually everywhere. blind links are not permitted pretty much on any link list, avs or tgp.

I think they're talking about showing another banner to either a site from the same sponsor or to another site/sponsor that has similiar content (niche) before the enter link. It's usually acceptable to push 2 sites from a free site on the index and on the main page.

Some other options would be to link a banner up for a male sex product, a payperview theatre, a dating site or show a feed style ad of guys available at a live cam site (those ones that constantly update).

Yes, that was a bad idea. I took the links off the pics. My linking code is now only on the banner below the title. I hope it's obvious that's a banner.

What about the site itself? Does it have too much content for a free site? Is the layout good or needs to be tweaked?

I wouldn't want an affiliate promoting another sponsor with my sponsor-supplied content.

Sure,

Just picked a site that was submitted to my link list. (Haven't really looked at it enough to see if I will accept it), but here is an extreme example of pushing the 1/2 page ads. I have seen sites like this listed....

http://www.mostwantedgays.com/free2/...enis/index.htm

Disclosure: It was just the first link I saw in the que.... May not be the best example. But an example....

Ah, that's true, and I should have elaborated. Usually 2 sponsors shown would mean that the galleries contained sets from each... or you're using purchased content and not sponsor supplied content to create the galleries with.

Thanks for clarifying that Bec. It's easy to assume that everyone knows all of the unwritten rules. ;)

Sorry for the delay. We moved broke straight boys to its own server today so it is ready for some massive traffic, hehe. Glad to see you are going to give BrokeStraightBoys a try. Your mini free site is looking great. Here is a couple suggestions.....

1. Add some more join links to this page http://www.free-porn-masters.com/sit...aingallery.htm. I can see gallery 1 & 2 and can't get to a join link without scrolling down. I would add some text that says click here to download the entire video somewhere below gallery 1 & 2.

2. I would also move the banner below gallery 3 & 4 up more. It looks like there is alot of white space between those.

3. Overall the preview pages look great. You might want to try adding some more text links "click here to join now" or something like that.

Thanks everyone else for their suggestions. If you need anything Ben feel free to contact me at anytime. :)

Thanks,
Mark

Thanks Mark, and everyone else!

I implemented most of the suggestions.

I'm now impatiently waiting for the sales to start pouring :)

Hmmm.... interesting tours.... Nathan and Jordan are a hot pair. You should talk about how hot Nathan's cock is on your tour page. He has a very nice one.

BrokeStraightBoys???

Are you sure this website isn't BrokeRentBoys?

DOH! just kidding :p :sunny:

Good feedback for this free site. It is nice to take a look at the site after reading the feedback and some changes having been made.

Personally, I really like this free site (looks great) and I suspect it is pretty much optimized to make sales using sponsor content. If you make 5 sales from this free site, I say keep following your general model and design as it works well! If not, here are some ideas for making the most of your efforts.

You've put a lot of time into making the site and managing the pictures. I spend about 60% of my free site time on making the site/pictures and 40% on submitting to link lists/inserting recip links. On the warning page and gallery contents page, continue emphasizing making sales to your sponsor(s) but deemphasize enticing viewers all the way to the free galleries (while still making clear what the free content is, of course). No need to make a big effort to sell "getting to the content" as you would for an AVS/AEN site or a paysite. Consider leaving out the content pics on the warning/gallery contents page, unless it helps make sales for your sponsor (which it can with sponsor pics). On the gallery pages, keep emphasizing the content using text and emphasize the sponsor enough (2 to 3 links) without getting rejected for having a full page ad!

If you want more traffic besides from the 13 recips on your warning page, consider using additional mirror/doorway warning pages. That way you can submit to more gay and "straight" link lists. Why not get the most bang for your free site masterpiece? Some require that the warning page be on index.html, but most will allow the warning page to be on URL's ending in such as start.htm, enter.html, provided you list enough (9 to 12 is ideal) traffic-producing recips. Penisbot and a few other straight link lists provide a lot of traffic. I agree with the earlier comment that the straight links lists tend to have more rules than the gay link lists, so you'd have to avoid overemphasizing the sponsor with things like large banners that may be considered a Full Page Ad.

Thank you for the additional suggestions Fister :)

(still waiting for my first BSB sale... :cash: )


Btw. Is the site in your sig your free site hub? It looks very good, but from what I can see it is composed mainly from sponsor hosted galleries. I'd like to know how you get traffic to them? Or do you drive traffic only to your main hub?
