Come on people, am I the only one entering this contest?

Heather Hamptons · 12-16-2004, 06:07 AM

Allie, you just get hotter and hotter. You have an amazing body. What kind of workout routine and diet plan do you go by?

ZeroGalleries · 12-16-2004, 08:29 AM

I went for the personal and amateur look based on your site design here:

FULL SIZE GALLERY HERE

Thanks for a great contest guys!

quantum-x · 12-16-2004, 08:35 AM

the real question is, are you going to reward galleries that CONVERT, or galleries that look nice?
There's a big difference.

No offense taken.

Based on their site design, I'm pretty sure they understand what converts better than most people do.

I agree to some degree. But you still have to remember that the gallery is the first thing the surfer sees - and the first impression is the most important one.

By showing the surfer a good looking presentation page (the gallery) he will from the beginning get a sense of quality

Ofcourse the most important thing for a gallery is converting .. but my experience is that 20% of the converting is in the gallery, the remaining 80% is in the tour (the site) itself - you see a picture of a car in the magazine - you go to the dealer to find out if you really want it...

I use my 20% to give the surfer an impression of quality .. and ofcourse a little story of why he should click my links

There's a big difference.

I'm quite sure that any good gallery designer understands the basic principles for assembly of graphics and ad copy in such a way as to obtain the best possible CTR.

Jake and I will be selecting our top 10 picks based on what we feel will convert best for our site. We won't be selecting a gallery solely based on the fact that it "looks nice". However that doesn't mean galleries that "look nice" won't be selected. It's all about how everything is put together (the graphics, the copy, the links, etc.) As mentioned by ZeroGalleries we have a good understanding of what converts. If you've seen my tour it's anything but pretty, but it CONVERTS!

Anyway, after Jake and I select our top 10 picks they'll be posted here for the members of GFY to select the 5 winners. I would hope that the members of GFY would also use a similar criteria when selecting their picks.

Not sure you saw my post earlier...

I was wondering what diet and excersize plan you stick to in order to keep that sexy bod of yours?

I agree to an extent, which is probably why I like your work. However, I also believe that it depends not only on quality, but the audience of surfer that is most likely to signup for a particular site. If you give an illusion of quality to a surfer that is looking for an amateur site, is that surfer going to signup, or is the actual site going to be a letdown for them?

I agree with your thought that conversions are 20%/80%, but I also think it is highly a matter of targetting surfers that are right for the site that you are promoting. I think that is what the 20% is about - getting as many of the right target audience to the site tour as possible.

I think in this instance, quality is relative. To the surfer seeking a real amateur (like Allie), I think they are more concerned that there will be a lot of content available and that she is authentic in what she does as well as personable. I think this tour design emphasizes these qualities well.

So, again, back to the purpose of the gallery. I think designs that are consistent with the tour design convey the right audience to the tour. I would call this a quality audience, and most likely a paying one as well.

Jake · 12-16-2004, 10:19 AM

I just wanted to say thanks to everyone who's participating in the contest. We've had a lot of requests for the zip file so I anticipate seeing quite a few entries.

I also wanted to make a note that Allie and I won't be commenting on any of the submissions until the contest has ended. The purpose of this contest is to obtain a wide variety of galleries from numerous perspectives and we don't want to lead everyone in the same direction (or away from a particular direction) by posting feedback on the galleries as they are posted.

Hi Heather,
Sorry I missed your post.
Thanks for the compliment!!!

I workout five to six times a week but I'm not disciplined enough to stick to a diet. My attitude is workout hard and eat whatever you want.

My pleasure. You have a great body!

You mind if I ask what type of excersize's you do? Is it at home or in a gym?

Don't let Allie fool you about going to the gym. It's a "home" workout. I like to call it "a lot of sex".

I workout at the gym. I do an hour of cardio and do the whole weight training thing.

Are they all here?

Kevin Spacey: All but one.

Baldwin: Well, I'm going anyway. Let's talk about something important. (sees Lemmon pouring coffee). Put that coffee down. Coffee's for closer's only. You think I'm fuckin' with you? I am not funkin' with you. I'm here from downtown. I'm here from Mitch and Murray. And I'm here on a mission of mercy. Your name's Levine?

Jack Lemmon: Yeah.

Baldwin: You call yourself a salesman, you son of a bitch.

Ed Harris: I don't gotta listen to this shit.

Baldwin: You certainly don't pal 'cause the good news is you're fired. The bad news is you got all you got, just one week to regain your job, starting with tonight, starting with tonight's sits. Oh, have I got your attention now? Good. 'Cause we're adding a little something to this month's sale contest. As you all know, first prize is a Cadillac El Dorado. Anybody want to see second prize? Second prize is a set of steak knives. Third prize is your fired. You get the picture? You laughing now? You got leads. Mitch and Murray paid good money. Get their names to sell them. You can't close the leads you're given, you can't close shit, you are shit, hit the bricks pal and beat it 'cause you are going out.

Lemmon: The leads are weak.

Baldwin: The leads are weak. The fuckin' leads are weak? You're weak. I've been in this business 15 years ...

Harris: What's your name?

Baldwin: Fuck you, that's my name. You know why mister? Cause you drove a Hyundai to get here tonight, I drove an 80,000 dollar BMW. That's my name. (To Lemmon) And your name is you're wanting. You can't play in the man's game, you can't close them? Then go home and tell your wife your troubles. Because only one thing counts in this life. Get them to sign on the line which is dotted. You hear me you fuckin' faggots.
(Flips the blackboard)

ABC. A, Always, B, Be, C, Closing. Always be closing. Always be closing. AIDA. Attention. Interest. Decision. Action. Attention. Do I have your attention? Interest. Are you interested? I know you are 'cause it's fuck or walk. You close or you hit the bricks. Decision. Have you made your decision for Christ? And action. AIDA. Get out there. You got the prospects coming in, you think they came in to get out of the rain? A guy don't walk on the lot lest he wants to buy. They're sitting out there waiting to give you their money. Are you going to take it? Are you man enough to take it? (To Harris) What's the problem, pal?

Harris: You, boss, you're such a hero, you're so rich, how come you're coming down here and wasting your time with such a bunch of bums?

Baldwin: You see this watch? You see this watch?

Harris: Yeah.

Baldwin: That watch costs more than your car. I made 970,000 dollars last year, how much you make? You see pal, that's who I am, and you're nothing. Nice guy? I don't give a shit. Good father. Fuck you, go home and play with your kids. You want to work here, close. You think this is abuse? You think this is abuse, you cock-sucker. You can't take this, how can you take the abuse you get on a sit. If you don't like it, leave. I can go out there tonight, the materials you got, make myself 15,000 dollars. Tonight. In two hours. Can you? Can you?

Go and do likewise. AIDA. Get mad you son-of-a-bitch. Get mad. You know what it takes to sell real-estate? It takes brass balls to sell real estate. Go and do likewise, gents. The money's out there, you pick it up, it's yours, you don't, I got no sympathy for you. You want to go out on those sits tonight and close, close, it's yours, if not, you're going to be shining my shoes. And you know what you'll be saying. Bunch of losers sitting around in a bar: ''Oh yeah, I used to be a salesman. It's a tough racket.''

These are the new leads. These are the Glengarry leads. And to you, they're gold. And you don't get them. Why? Because to give them to you is just throwing them away. They're for closers. I'd wish you good luck, but you wouldn't know what to do with it if you got it. (To Harris) And to answer your question, pal: Why am I here? I came here because Mitch and Murray asked me to, they asked me for a favor. I said the real favor, follow my advice and fire your fuckin' ass because a loser is a loser.

damn I just watched that movie today!

great flick for sure
