I was wondering if you could do a site review for me. Ill show the members area, im not too much worried about the avs sales, im happy with them. Id like to generate more clicks to my sponsors and therefore more sales.
The traffic is avs list and link lists. The obvious purpose is just upsell to the sponsor.
CLCK ME
PLEASE DONT CLICK the banners, if you want to know who the sponsor is its these guys
Thankyou
IMHO, you are giving away far to many free pics.
30 is the max you should have on a free site.
You also need to put a banner (or large text link) towards the bottom of the page, thats prime clicking space ;)

it's clean, it's to the point, it's easy to find things. it has plenty of advertising without seeming annoying and everything is easy to read.
if you are giving away samples from a sponsor, best to color correct them. the more tempting you make the content, the more people will be interested.
also those guys you are showing are far from typical college guys and boyfunk doesn't talk about college guys so i think your advertising is perhaps a little off-niche from your sponsor and content.
i'd have used a different banner on the top if you're talking college guys and made all the thumbs on the main page the same size.
good luck with it :)
I wanted to ask about that, i think so too. The think is that the links lists that send major traffic want 50+ images. I agree its way too many. Im begining to wonder if i could submit to many more avs's and drop link lists like hunk hunter that demand this many pics. Im glad you said that.Quote:

do i need to mirror the wording of the tour more? Use the terms there using? Is that right?
I would also toss an index.html file on http://www.collegeboysgowild.com/
Made a few minor changes. Made the text links bigger and slighty changed the wording, needs some more thought on that. Lost 2 galleries (also the gallery link images are now the same size). Will have to add 5 images to get listes on the avs. Turned off indexing, it will be a sort of hub at some point.
i didn't think it was too much content for an avs site.
i personally would use words like "Cute 18 year olds with hard cocks" or "first time amateur twinks".
But it was for a link list.Quote:

i always put less content in a free site than an avs site but that's just me. having 2 more galleries in an avs site is 2 more pages of ads you can show proven credit card users ;)
i submit to avs's and the link list but you still have to have an avs pass to enter, its not free at all.
then it won't hurt to have some more pics... although i do know people who keep them down to the bare minimum...

1. Your text links (CLICK HERE TO SEE MORE EXCLUSIVE 18-22 YR OLD TEEN BOYS! ) may be considered blind by some reviewers. To stay on the safe side, you need to add "at Funk Boys" at the end or "Instant Access" at the beginning of the link.
2. The size of the pictures would be too small for many of those linklists. The latest rule by Link-o-rama is that the sum of height and width should be at least 1200 pixels... while other LL's didn't change their rules yet, many reviewers prefer larger images than the ones you have there.
3. You can add more links to yoru sponsors. In the LL's I mentioned, the rules say up to 3 outgoing links on each page. Why not use that? :) I would break the group of images and insert another text link in there.
4. I would try more colorful sales text in the links. Both in actual font color and also in how you describe the sponso'r site. Get your visitors interested. "Click Here for Horny Hot Twinks out to show you their huge throbbing cocks at Boy Funk" or something to that effect. Also, I wouldn't repeat the same text in all the links. If one sales pitch doesn't work, why not try something different?
5. Make your links to your sponsors stand out. Use larger fonts and use color to bring out the really dirty words (and use those!).
I hope this is relevant, because not sure you're working with the same kind of lists/rules as I do :)
Thanks everyone. Im going to re add those two gallerys i think. Any more comments would be great. Ill then make changes and see what you think.
I went through the other sites that use this template to make some changes, some had white text on a light background. School boy error. No wonder the little darling surfers wernt clicking!
Im really greatfull for everyones feedback, cant see anything i disagree with either so thanks. Oh apart from the size of full sized pics, nothing i can do about that im afraid, i recognise the point as valid but i didnt size the pics.
His full-size pictures are 768x1024. Are you talking about his thumbs? Do they need to be bigger? I'm confused.Quote:

Haha! I know that. I just wanted some clarification on what tigermom was talking about because she couldn't have meant your full-size pics either.Quote:

I see you closed access to your main directory but why not create a quick index file?
I would think you could create an index and an index2.
Index – Warning page with exit
Index2 – (If you plan to start building free sites) Like a tgp – submit your own galleries to your own tgp, or more so, tgp-ish looking page.
Now I’m not sure the rules to the affiliate programs you belong to but… Doing this could turn a site you don’t use for more than a folder into something that you could submit to search engines.
With a page like this you could have links via photos, banners (large and small) and text. Your current, unused site could start working for you.
But,
You may also have other plans for the directory and domain name other that building a hub for the sites you promote.
Yeah that sounds like a good plan. Either that or use the domain for a premium avs. I tend to do standard as and per sign up but i need to get some rebills in a grow my income a bit.
Im actually going to stop and take stock abit. See which direction i want to go in, this review is the first step really in growing my business, making the sites better to increase sales. Ive looked inside Boy Funk and like it, i hope it will retain and convert which would be a great first step for me.
