GWW Community Project - Stage 1.

Hopefully we have all the items in the preparation stage completed and ready to us so here goes with stage one of the GWW Community project.

The first thing we need to do is to make a standard 10 thumb gallery page layout, on this page you need to decide whether you want to use all text on the page or, a selection of text and banners.

You need to have the thumbnails and the images named in a generic fashion for each of the 6 sets you currently have so for example..

pic1.jpg
pic2.jpg
pic3.jpg
pic4.jpg
pic5.jpg

Would have thumbnails called...

thumb1.jpg
thumb2.jpg
thumb3.jpg
thumb4.jpg
thumb5.jpg

Etc, etc.

Once you have your thumbnails and images named you can now start builing your 6 gallery pages (one for each niche) what you are aiming for is 6 differently colored pages that you can send some sample traffic to in order to start the filtering process of your surfers.

Bear in mnd however that when building your gallery pages you should use relative paths fo your image calls so for example, http://www.dick123.com/bisexual/01.jpg should be used instead of http://www.dick123.com/bisexual/images/01.jpg this will assist us in a later stage of the project in more ways than you can imagine!

With the traffic filtering process in mind, you also need to consider how the surfers are going to filter themselves through this first site and, by far the easiest way of achieving this is to make a small selection of text links on the bottom of your gallery pages that link to all 6 of the pages you have created.

Here is an quick example of a Bi-Sexual gallery page so you can get an idea of what you are hoping to acheive, notice how the larger text links on each of the individual pages goes directly to the sponsor whilst the smaller text links on the bottom link directly to the other gallery pages.

http://www.dick123.com/bisexual/

Another thing you may like to try (as i have done) is to keep each of the 6 niches in ther own sub directory on your server, this way, you will know instantly where a specific sites is as well as making the job of linking to your individual niche sites much easier as you wont have to type in the full domain in each link instead, if you have the sub directorys setup in the root of the domain like i do you will just have to type for your html link /bisexual/ or /twink/ make sure you keep the directory name relevant to the niche though, this will become important in a later stage of the project once we start to dirty up our main hub pages a little.

If you have any questions or comments about the above stage feel free to post away as well.
