    My new TGP site - feedback wanted

    Hello, adult media pros. I have just completed an art-nudes TGP. The web address is:

    http://freegalleri.es

    It is built on all custom software, not using Crystal or whatever software is common today, and has a unique look and feel with varying sized thumbnails. If you have a minute, I would appreciate any feedback / criticism / suggestions you could provide.

    Right now it features galleries from the Metart family only, but I am in the process of adding additional sponsors.

      These higher low resolution photos, coupled with the slow load times... it's fucking epically mind blowing. Not to mention the absolutely fantastic .ES extension. This is a sure winner and mind numbingly ground breaking!

          I feel I am about to get a good flaming, and that's all good, I can take it.

          Here is a question of opinion though, I have left the thumbnails in high quality, making the page slow unless you are on broadband. Do you think this is a bad idea? I would prefer the higher quality thumbs because I only use broadband, but I can see how that could be a bad choice.

                    1. Do you take submissions?
                    2. Where is your BBW category?
                    3. You TGP is very nice looking.

                      Looks good, but the thumbs are way too big.

                            Thank you for feedback, and I am adding more sponsors and will check out your sig link, Richard.

                            I think what I have learned here is I need to make it much faster, so I will work on that.

                            BTW, Tofu, it is sort of a fake TGW, I add all of the galleries and there is no BBW section yet.

                                      looks like.

                                      keep in mind most people here don't know what they are talking about. I still pull in $$$$ from my TGP pictures sites per month, so don't sweat it.

                                          Was able to reduce thumbnail size by 90% with only a slightly noticible dither to the images. Page now loads 10 times faster. Thanks for feedback.

                                          Pingdom now rates it 84/100 on speed test. (Thanks Tony)

                                              Good to finally see the TGP trend taking off.

                                              Yes, fewer illegal immigrants working equates to more job opportunities for American citizens.

                                                    Here is a question of opinion though, I have left the thumbnails in high quality, making the page slow unless you are on broadband. Do you think this is a bad idea? I would prefer the higher quality thumbs because I only use broadband, but I can see how that could be a bad choice.
                                                    that's what page caching and gzip compression are for...

                                                                            I clicked 10 links and wasn't redirected once,

I understand the concept that people out searching for free porn are unlikely to be converted to customers, but surely a very small fraction of a percentage will see something they like and decide they must have more. Even converting 1 in 50,000 visitors is enough to make money.

Maybe it's just me, but I could instantly tell which thumbs were NOT MetArt....wonder if those will get more clicks from surfers out of sheer curiosity....like one of these things is not like the other.

The dithering looks pretty bad on my monitor when you've got a whole screen of them. You already have an uphill battle with a TGP in 2013, you don't want to compound that by making it look cheap.
