Does this gallery suck?

We don't think so, but what do you pro gallery designers think? Constructive critizism is allways appreciated

And you guys who owns a larger TGP: Would you like galleries like this submitted? We get listed regulary on PK, Shemp, Richards Realm and a few other big ones, but it would be nice with some more partner accounts. We only post fresh content from members areas and have never redirected a gallery. I you have a partner account you are willing to give please post in this thread or email: webmaster [at] annasdungeon [dot] com or ICQ: 246797915

If you want swap partner accounts to our 20k (and growing) TGP it can also be arranged

Thanks and see you at Internext!

[Marcus Aurelius]

Gets my vote as far as content goes. looks nice. but to each his own. im sure, being GFY, your gonna get some negatives, overall looks good though.

The look of the gallery and color scheme matches the tour of the site promoted... Good point about the text links though. I thought that if you were interested in the content you would scroll down to the last pics and easily spot the text links. Do you think a bigger font, brighter color or better placement is the solution?

i looked again and the bottom is hard to notice. I would make the text links un even with each other and maybe change the font color too. ieverything else looks great

The uneven thing is a great idea. The font color is matched with the one used in the tour, don't know if it's better to keep the same color scheme or not...

[Strife]

simple and effective

You'll be declined/banned for using MouseOvers and it seems to take too long to load on a broadband connection which will also get you declined/banned. Other than that it looks nice. Good luck.

[Robertf]

looks good :-)

But i would get rid of the banner in the center move the text from the bottom to the center with a link in a slighter larger size ... and have at teh bottom direct under pics .. a flashing button ...

Keep the colors they look great

[dunefield]

looks ok... but it loads a lil slow...

Don't use mouseovers when we submit to the big sites like Shemp. That's just the index.html file of the folder

Did it load slow for you? That's not good... It's on a dedicated server and loads fast as hell for us...

Interesting idea

But doesn't people generally read from top to bottom, left to right? The thought behind having the text on the bottom is to catch the surfers attention with the model info and then make them read the info of the site. And if they get a little bored and look up there's a banner in their face.

But this is a good reply, that's why we're asking you professional gallery designers out there

[pimplink]

Not bad, just a little improvement on the color, try something bright, but not so bright, just right for it to be noticed by the surfers.

[Khun]

Looks good here...

[Reak]

I like it a lot Anna

How important do you think it is to match the colors of the paysite itself?

It's my experince ... that een text link between the photo's works the best .. and that static banners don't get that much clicks at all.

If they take the effort to scroll all the way down to look at all the pics .. and they like what they see .. you want to give them an easy noticeable link to see more on the site for ex "" >>>>>>>> See More "" flashing .. rather then *boring* them there with some text they maybe not interested in at all.

If they would be interested in some text .. they will scroll/look up they know it's there.

Don't think it sucks, but it's a great thread title to draw in views. It's all about the marketing you know

[TweetyBird]

the gallery is okay, it could use a little more ''impact'' though but overall it's kewl

[latinasojourn]

this gallery will not do much in this market. not saying it's bad, just that it won't do much business.

if you are going to present lesbian stuff the only thing that really sells these days is stuff that looks real.

by that i mean, pretty girls in "lesbian" poses are not that effective for conversion. shoot girls who are really into girls and really kissing and slurping pussy rather than obviously posed by the photographer.

the background color is wrong. i know lavender is a "gay" color but any blue based color scheme will weaken the pitch. avoid any cool colors when pitching erotica---use warm colors, psychologically they are emotion enhancing.

Great points

The site promoted is not just lesbians though, it's a general hardcore site featuring the hottest eastern european girls on the net. The lesbian set was todays update, therefore it's also featured in that gallery.

How important do you feel it is to follow the color scheme of the paysite you are promoting? This is something we thought was important, but what is you guys input on this?

[Anna_O]

OK, going to bed now

Any TGP owners who have partner accounts can still post in this thread

Will be looking over the replies in the morning.

I like it! But this gaping hole disturbs me:

this is an aesthetic thing, but not important to conversion.

color palette is much more important to click-through than people realize.

and, if the typography causes eyestrain due to choice of color or background click through will be very poor.

other factors involved:

generally, color photography needs a background which does not alter the (apparent) color balance of the image---i.e., if the objective is to make the color photograph look it's best the background should be either white, black, or a shade of grey, anything other than these backgrounds will affect the psycological perception of color balance in a way that detracts from the intended color balance.

ex: let's say you have a color image that is too yellow (usually because someone forgot to set the WB to tungsten when shooting with an incandescent light source) --- by putting this image on a yellow toned background the image will appear less off color balance --- if you put the same image on a blue toned background the image would look way off proper color balance.

if the tone of the color photograph is moody or dark it will usually look best on a black or dark background which has a tendency to lighten the image, conversely if the image is too light or high key it will look more pleasing on a white background.

much more to it than this, but class dismissed for today.

That gaping hole is lovely to me. And I think I can see her g-spot.

The gallery design is very easy on the eyes, clean, a good soft sell. Maybe the text should be a bit darker; the great, bright pictures do draw the eyes away from it.

Looks good to me

Ever wondered why you dont get any rebills?
Check the inside of the paysite you are promoting
(Ask a one day password)
I did this about 6 months ago. The paysite looks like a complete mess. Movies not loading, updates missing, really shitty looking.

You really want to take a look inside...

Make them horny with the pics and make them read...I don't think so.

Make them horny and make them CLICK...nobody that's horny wants to read. They want to get off NOW.

It's also good to have both a text link and a graphical link in a gallery. Some people are readers and most are graphical (at least men).

[alexg]

looks like a good gallery to me

Actually the site rebills quite well. We have a members area password to take content for galleries, and I think the members area look great. They also recently redesigned it so now it looks even better. We have lots of surfers who have rebilled for more than 6 months

Going out now, a little *BUMP* for the TGP owners out there

thats good i like it
