[kevquinlan]

I dont get it? Sorry!

[bazmanblue]

well one day i hope it gets high traffic and then i can flog loads of ad space. simple really. its win win. i search the net for places to advertise for free so people dont have to. they use my website and i get traffic. but i want people to give me advice on it userbility. and any recomendations? got any ideas for new pages that relate to advertising and such

[DomainsUnlimited]

I don't get it either...

PS you might want to check your wording on your apparent copyright warning so it makes sense..

Hi Bazmanblue,

Personally, I can't see how or why this would work but on the design front a few things for you:

* Design is pretty awful - sorry
* It's not clear immediatley what the site is for (I'd be clicking the back button within seconds)
* I clicked on Page 1 of your links and the names of each of the Free linking resources you've listed look like Link-Farms to me (just looking at their names - I didn't go to the site)

Honestly, it looks too spammy for me with no obvious benefit.

Would genuinly love to say something nice, i see even though it is awful you have put a lot of work into it, but really, it is what?

I didnt understand in 10 seconds what it was, and then when i realised it was not anything i realised it was an awful nothing. Make sense? does not to me!

Good luck though with your next one, it all takes time, my first site was the biggest laugh in toytown

[andysears]

My immediate thought is I am going to find a website where I can advertise my unwanted kids bike and the like.

What I find is a mish mash of links of no real meaning and no indexing whatsoever.

page 1, page 2 etc do not tell me much of where its going to take me.

Design wise, fonts all over the show, glarey, mixed up. Sorry I am by far any sort of expert, but this is not a win win site.

[bazmanblue]

well thats why i asked, im trying to make it more user friendly and i think you all make some great points. will take note and hope you can all check up on it soon to see if it has improved.
thanks for your input

No! And haven't you heard of "i before e except after c".

???

It's not even that bad to be a good bad website

[bazmanblue]

haha so im a little bad on my spelling. thats where you guys come in. i ask for a donation because it is a non profit website. ive had people get to the end of the thousand links and give generously. ive had feedback saying some of the free ad links have got them so many hits they can now give up paying for advertising on google adwords. its not the best website but it will be. the main thing is the links to free ad sites are there for people to use instead of going through google search engines going through the same links over and over again to find a descent amount to advertise for free on. it took me over 100 hours to find all these sites and im saving people who are doing the same alot of time.

[bazmanblue]

p.s have any of you guys tried the big daddy pays link which is first on my list? i think this is gona be massive and overtake google within two years big daddy pays
i cant beleive there giving away top keyword positions on sign up and 50 dollars in free pay per clicks. anyone else joined this?

[markschok]

Baz, I was hoping to say something nice, but with that last post, jeez, really?
Big daddy pays is going to overtake Google in 2 years?
It looks like one of those gawd awful guru sites with the long long page of sales spin. I don't post here that much but I do read plenty and no one here is going to fall for that.

That said, get real and go for it. Work on the site and get it working. I'd like to see you do well with this. If you could hunt down the best ways to advertise for free on the net then you'll have done well. There's not too many free or even cheap ways to do this nowadays, so go for the best.

The site, to be taken seriously. Stick to 1, maybe 2 fonts at the most, try to go for something neutral, arial or verdana. Change the font in your graphics. Make the big hand smaller, the star burst on the right does nothing (just filler?) Don't centre all you main text or bold it all. Name your pages better than page1, page2 etc, Remove the capcha(sp?) image.

and lastly, I'm not to sure on the rules here, but usually posting affiliate links is a no no.


all imho.

[befuddle]

No, I haven't tried them. Though as you're an affiliate of them, see ...

http://www.bigdaddypays.com/

... then they must be good, yes

[bazmanblue]

yes i am but im not joking this is something big. i know its a big page of jablava and all that but its free so i thought id give it a go. did i mention i was into the free thing. Anyhow it doesnt cost a dime and it gives you what it says. free top keyword and 50 dollars in pay per click. look at this search engine on alexa! its rapidly shooting up the alexa chart. give this a go it costs nothing but your time. if you dont like it ill gladly go to all your affiliate websites and buy something off them. especialy you befuddle i need some new trousers anyway cos i left them all at my brothers wedding last weekend and hes in kenya now! any recomendations on your affiliate links? i want a good deal on jeans. p.s thanks markschok will take note. not sure what you mean by the star burst tho?
second p.s i do really think that big daddy will be bigger than google one day and id like to keep in contact with you all so that in two years time i can be really sarcastic about it and stuf like that.
3rd p.s thanks for all your comments so far
