same mistakes
I have been given the task of checking a couple of link lists while a dear friend is on holiday.
I have done this for 2 days now, and its the same mistakes of why sites dont get listed as they was 5 years ago..
First off READ THE RULES!!!!
Second free hosting and sponcer pictures are a waste of time, at least to me anyway, soon as I see that sponcer logo on a pic, the site is dumped. I am not against useing this on sites when your learning, but the big thing with me is, there is so many hardworking webmasters out there, that are spending money on hosting and content, That I hate to list freebee sites.
If I hit a site, and the images are over 50k I wont list it, one your wasteing bandwidth, and second off I am not going to kill you with traffic and a high bandwidth bill because you dont know any better than to cut your images down.
If the site says no hardcore images and you try to throw them in an amature listing, because there is no hardcore select option, its not going to change anything, it still wont get listed, reading the rules is very important.
If you submit a template one day, make a new one, because the same template the next day dont make it, the site looks the same to me, over and over again.
If a site is a tgp page and you try to get it listed on a link site or the other way around it dont get it and your wasteing your time. and the webmasters time.
I love to do submission on a tgp or link list, it shows me the skills out there, some are sharp, some are dull. I am seeing more java colored scroll bars, if you do this match the page with the color, but alot of sites there scripting see's java and the script cuts the submission for haveing java on it. So watch the rules make the same site without the java for submitting to sites that dont allow java.
Make sure your sponcer banners match your content (very important)
Dont use banners alone, make sure you have some kind of text with a banner, and make it bite hard, make the surfer want to click.
If I see the words, young boys, or young girls on a banner, or txt I dont list the site, Be careful what you put up, those are kind of dirty words and are ment to imply and you dont want to do that, it may make for better sales, But your implying child pornography, when you use those words together.
Every newbie I have ever met makes this mistake, always put a index in every folder, alot of html programs and I know front page is bad about this, will make a folder called images, why pull a whole html page when the surfer can just hit your image folder and pull all the want, also makes it easyer to hotlink your images..
You should always have anti hotlinking on your domain, if you do pic post you should have a domain set up just for that. I have seen a russian site yank 8 gigs a day off a website because it didnt have an antihotlinking script and the webmaster got nothing for it.
I got to be one of the tuffest reviewers out there, if the site meets the rules its listed, if it dont then I dont list it. When reviewing for someone else its hard because you have to please the webmaster that owns the site, remember this when submitting because most large sites, the owner doesnt do all the checking but has someone around to help.
