    so my gallery is now on thehun...

    i was fuckin around w/ a gallery (basically my first one), and i got accepted... the gallery is not great, but i want to be able to atleast make back the $ that the damn hosting'll cost. its $5.00/per gig.. so far its at 7 gigs (i have a 5 gig allowable, but for the month its at 10.3 gigs), so so far i owe $25. 1 signup through my gallery is $15)

    the clickthrough i imagine is pretty bad when the gallery has gotten 41k hits so far, and only 65 clicks to the sponsor. this is the gallery:the gallery

    i know you aren't supposed to change anything after a submission... but i'm wondering what i can do better next time to recieve a damn higher click through. i suppose building a better gallery(graphically) might do that? or is it more dependant on content?

    anyhow, i thought i'd fuck around w/ galleries aside from designing so i dont know much about the webmaster aspect.

    thx

      Good luck... The Huns traffic is great and you will get a ton of hits... I hope your gallery is good enough or else you will spend more in bandwith than you will make in sales...

      I know, this has happened to me... Too new for the huns traffic, my gallery was ok, made a few sales, but my gallery was not good enough to bring in the $$ I need to pay for all that bandwidth.

      Good luck to you

        $5.00 per GIG??? I pay $0.10 per gig. Sounds like you need a new host.

            That bandwidth might eat you alive. Today's a bad day for productive clickthroughs since very few people are at work on those nice high speed connections but the kids are at home in full wanking force!

              $5.00/per gig? I thought this was one of those 2001 threads but no

              And what's up with that url? The Hun now lists IP addresses?

                Jesus, you are getting raped on bandwidth. I pay $0.25 per gig on a friends machine.

                How could you in gods name pay $5.00 per gig for bandwidth?!

                  He had to put the IP so we could see it because his URL has a word in it that is banned on the board.

                          Yeah. Unfortunately you have to suck it up now if you want to get listed again. You could try e-mailing him and asking him to remove it until you can find better hosting. He's a nice guy from what I hear. Apologize profusely.

                            And if you didn't want it listed there you shouldn't have submitted it to him.

                              You could email the hun and ask him to remove your gallery, just don't mess with it yourself, not worth the hassle.

                                shit happens.

                                  Personally, to achieve higher click throughs i would:

                                  Make a better sales pitch. You have decent arousing text but... i think you can focus it better on your sponsor

                                  Make the thumbs a little bigger.. (just personal opinion) i think the bigger the thumb, the less need to actually click on it, which then leaves them looking for something else to click on (sponsor links) and prevents them from clicking on all your pics.

                                  That's it really.. i think you could use some animation too, really focus their eyes on your link.

                                  good luck with the sales!

                                    That's what i pay for 1GB of bandwidth. Seriously, you're being fucked from behind by your provider, $5,- per GB? don't host galleries on that, you'll never make money with that price.

                                    From my own experience you can say that you will pull about 30 to 40gb in the first day, after that you can count on another 15 to 20gb for the next 2 days, after that it's almost over Just a few gigs a day.

                                      take the loss on this gallery and get yourself some cheaper bw in the future....maybe you could get yourself cheaper bw now, upload the gallery and than change the DNS. There should be no downtime.

                                          You can email him and have him pull your link. He's usually pretty quick on requests like that. Then you won't be banned.

                                                I think he probably means $5.00/GB on overages.

                                                              $5 per gig is nuts. People were paying that back when signup ratios were three (or more) times better than they are now. Paying $5 per gig now is suicide.
