Do uglier galleries convert better?
 

I've noticed in the last couple of months that using the same content, uglier and simpler galleries are getting more sales while sophisticated ones aren't converting at all... Is this true for you too?

I really think it depands on the tour, the traffic and the content of the gallery. But I do believe simpler galls do better.. and no bullshit pop ups

color background, banner on top, 15 pics, text link below, does great

here's a question...by the same token, do paysites convert better when they are ugly or slick looking?

Why do the low end designs in galleries convert better?

what Fris said, he just spilled the beans.

content is way more important than design...

seem that way for me too

Never tried good looking ones, I'm not good at design and my simpler galleries convert good :)

Content is everything.

You gotta hate those busy overworked galleries...

Content and a good text link that sells what's in the content.

AND your more likely to get accepted by thehun

Very very true :)

amen to Fris.

glad to see I'm not the only one... I starting to get worried :P

oops... I meant "I was starting"

You don't need extra gallery design, but what is important is content quality (pics should be teasing enough) and creativity when making textlinks. Also ... texlinks should be visible enough for surfer to get his attention

Good content convert better :thumbsup

Agreed.

My highest converting gallery of all time, is the worst looking thing you have ever seen in terms of graphic design.

The uglier the better.

ya, a tgp gallery should be a sample of the paysite content and some well worded text links.... the time wasted on fancy designs is better spent reading all the GFY drama... ;)

Layout is nothing..

Content is god..

I always laugh at those guys who think that doing 1 dif layout a day will get them mroe sales.. and they are using the same overused boring content everyonw else is using. :1orglaugh

pics? lol.. are u in year 2001? :1orglaugh

Not if you're selling to webmasters. :winkwink:

If the surfer likes your gallery you are doing it wrong, he should not even look at it. It's about the content grabbing his attention, the text telling him what he needs to know and the links showing him where to go.

content is king
