What is the average length (word count)?

Would it make better sense to measure in characters?

I'd say 30-70 characters.

Za Ha · 01-02-2004, 11:24 PM

The ones I use for my sites are usually 4-8 words.

So if we write them around 40, this should be most useful to the majority of webmasters?

Phoenix · 01-02-2004, 11:44 PM

it has taken me forever to write them for us.

ugh...boring

With spaces, how many characters would that be?

I normally write these custom for clients but I'd like to create a pool that everyone could use. So everybody's feedback would be greatly appreciated.

SoundMan · 01-03-2004, 02:23 AM

I use about 55- 60

Mishi · 01-03-2004, 02:27 AM

Yup just depends on the content. There's only so much you can say about a "Blonde amateur stripping." Then you get the occasional "Pregnant lesbian midgets covering eachother in grape jelly."

There's ways to tease a click out of the Blonde Description...

As for the midgets...usually the longer the descrip the better.

Mr. Marks · 01-03-2004, 10:48 PM

Usually the longer the better. Too bad, that can't be standardized.

zoic · 01-03-2004, 11:50 PM

A hosted gallery description pool would be awesome - any idea when it would be available? Any chance of getting preview thumbs too ;)

PReview Thumbs, that would be awesome. Multiple sizes too.

Preview thumbs... hmmm that's a good idea. Problem I see is that it would have to be multiple crops per FHG or else webmasters would end up with the same thumb crops.

zoic · 01-04-2004, 07:27 PM

Maybe offer just a standard thumb for the pool and if anybody wants unique stuff- they can buy custom thumbs from you separately.

Can we have this by next Monday?

Is 88 x 88 the standard?

No, its not. There's quite a range of thumb sizes that TGPs require cuz of the way their pages are laid out.

OzMan84 · 01-05-2004, 10:49 PM

ive seen 120 x 120 before they look pretty eye catching

Raf1 · 01-06-2004, 03:59 AM

I'm doing gallery descriptions at the moment. I use from 3 to 5 words most of the time. It's probably the most boring thing I can imagine. I've done almost 3000 and I have another 10k or so left...

I have to agree. Writing these out are pretty boring. Ripping them from other sites suck cuz they don't apply or are not FHGs or do not convert.

LasseKongos · 01-06-2004, 04:15 AM

Some TGP`s have minimum text at 40 BUT other TGP`s have maximum at 50 so it´s hard.... Do description at 45 and it will be good.

smproduction · 01-06-2004, 05:37 AM

I think 40-50 characters is the right range for the text
About thumbs 88x88 sounds good, it doesnt cover every tgp but it is ok

reynold · 01-06-2004, 05:39 AM

Is this pool free? If not, how much? Hopefully very very cheap
