Good layout = word of mouth? Hmm
 

I updated the layout for one of my TGPs this weekend and traffic increased over 300% -- I finally made it look nice with the magical touch of Dreamweaver rather than using the make-shift styles from the unix editor vi.

what you think?

lol you call that looking nice? Thats all you could do with dream weaver? wtf man, I've seen better made in "shitty unix vi" editors before as you state :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

gawd,

what did it look like before ?

Well, 200,000 uniques in one day compared to 50,000... with no FEEDER traffic. I'd say I'm doing something right?

As a designer this statement makes me laugh more than his design does.
I'm sure you probably think TheHun is a fool too.
If it works, it works, regardless of how pretty or ugly it is.

Well.. maybe that's what I'm doing right.. I'm aiming towards fast loading and lots of content with a human touch -- not something fancy with a bunch of paid for professionally designed graphics... So far from what I've seen, it works. I run TGPs with Comus too, with pretty professionally designed layouts and those sites don't grow nearly as quickly as this one (even if I'm paying for traffic).

This is a good example of playing with human psychology. See my first post, and the one I made before this one. Plus the first 2 replies. Use your head, figure it out.

Um... According to your stats, most of your referrer traffic is coming from your galleries listed on TheHun, etc.

Traffic Gallery. But the apache logs are deleted weekly. And the webalizer settings don't save the current periods history so really, it's from last Friday.

But if you look closely. Over 500,000 hits since Friday to the main page /. That ain't shabby.

No, The Hun is simple and sweet been that way for years on end, This site is just a train wreck of bullshit.

Sig placement.
