All I can say is, thank god for Kimmykim.
Give me half an hour or so, and I'll have that page cleaned up some.
Soul, telling someone to lose all of their link trades and content is....bizzare. Just what "experienced webmasters" are you referring to? As someone above said, this is NOT a CJ site, it is a FREE site, so some pages of content are not inappropriate, and having a few link trades for actual traffic is not inappropriate either.
Some of what you wrote may yet prove useful though, thanks. And sorry, I put a lot of work into this site over the past year, it used to see over 15k daily, so rejection is not someting I take well with regard to this particular site. I KNOW it has potential, and I know it's a good fun interesting site for surfers to come to (I've had email, believe me, I've had email) and it makes me the most money of ALL my sites, believe it or not. I got a bit pissy due to the big guy's obvious rejection of what I see as a pretty good site, and I am not without my own experience in this area.
I'll get busy, but one of my fears is that all sites end up looking the SAME, borrrringggg. MY logo on the index1 page IS the site, really. It sets it apart from all the "banner-banner-enter-leave-banner-banner" sites out there. I could care less about the b/w it uses, my deal is very very good where I'm hosted. ($24/mo CANADIAN)
I'll be bock...
