too crowded with sample pics
btw, that bottom download video img link has an extra / in it

RobD · 07-19-2004, 09:46 PM

thumbs are too dark, overall it looks ok

NoCarrier · 07-19-2004, 09:50 PM

Too many thumbs and not enough talk about the paysite.

i see what you mean, but i think it plays out well.

as a surfer i am thinking "wow look at all these great pics, oh and there is a link to watch a movie!"

less words = less thinking

i think he did a good job of selling the site with just using sample pics

my own opinion, i like it.

czarina · 07-19-2004, 10:02 PM

I like it.. but I would make sure that it has the download video or join link very visible between sets. Not present on all right now. Even if it directs to signup page (actually I'd recommend that it directs there after the 3rd or so)

Its an archive. =) Believe me... most of the people hitting this site, are familiar with mpgs and archives....

They know what its about when they see the screencaps. =)

Whole nother beast

GTS Mark · 07-19-2004, 10:14 PM

Ok the thumbs are being brightened as we speak. Yep Drewkole seems to know the layout is pretty similar to most Deluxepass sites out there. We are going to be feeding it with lots of movie traffic so we are hoping for good results.

Any other tips?

Actually that is a good idea

Snake Doctor · 07-19-2004, 10:19 PM

Well it could just be me but they all look like trannys.

pxxx · 07-19-2004, 10:22 PM

With some of the stuff said in the previous posts done, it looks pretty good to me.

DrewKole · 07-19-2004, 10:22 PM

Definately make the download part bigger, and easier to spot.

I'd link the thumbs to the join page as well.

A sample trailer or 2 at hte top would work well, as well as making the page 1, 2, 3 bigger at both the top and bottom... and a general download link at the bottom.

On every page, at the very bottom, I'd add a few..... join this site, and get access to these other tranny sites, 6-8 thumbs, non linked, or linked to join page.

MOST IMPORTANT, I think....

Seperate all the different scenes, and promote them as seperate movies...

Right now, its VERY confusing, because of the breaks, it looks like one big movie, its hard on the eyes, and doesnt show as much content as you could make it seem like.

Cheers

grand · 07-19-2004, 10:29 PM

too many thumbs, makes it look cluttered....I prefer simplicity

RipRaster just messaged me and told me he wants his own section on that site.

kowntafit · 07-19-2004, 10:59 PM

The header looks nice, thumbs are a bit dark thought

austinth · 07-19-2004, 11:17 PM

Nice work!

contentjunky · 07-19-2004, 11:42 PM

I think the header looks great. Too many photos in other areas

fr8 · 07-19-2004, 11:45 PM

If it were me I would go with either a row of 3 for each scene or do 2x2 with a description in the middle.

FilthyRob · 07-19-2004, 11:50 PM

Not too bad Mark. I will promote it. I still need to get setup with you though.

molly_muddblood · 07-20-2004, 04:03 AM

Excellent site.

If that page format works for you, go for it, but if you're just experimenting, maybe you should try to have one video set per page and make the "Download Now" link go to a password prompt instead of blindlinking them to the join page. You could even make your 401 error page be a join page. Other than that, I think your site will be as good as how much money you can crank out of it.

My only real suggestion is to BURY that webmasters link. You don't want any customers turning into quack webmasters because they see those promises of easy cash. The "$$$ Webmaster $$$" link is responsible for so many paid-customers-turned-wannabe-webmaster that it's ridiculous lol.

Good luck, and best wishes for fortune. You obviously know which gender has the most value on the Internet.

sixxxth_sense · 07-20-2004, 04:05 AM

not 2 shabbbbyyY!!!

you need more links to for peeps to SIGN UP and less pics!!!!! in other words, great header but need more work/colours!!!

aside the dark thumbs,i think it's good layout and can work well as it is. If I were you I would beta test it with some traffic fist before doing any radical changes

Turboface · 07-20-2004, 04:16 AM

Looks good to me.

jawanda · 07-20-2004, 06:54 AM

Not bad, DH.

Agree that the pics are a bit dark / crowded.... but the layout is pretty nice.

Jace · 07-20-2004, 07:54 AM

Anyone can jack off to orgasm by closing their eyes and imagining something. Better yet, they can look at one jpeg they saved from 4 years ago. Even more better, they can yank to a hit counter with fucking on it.

What do you suggest he do, Jace? What sites have you joined and spent money at because you couldn't bust a nut? Could you list them? I'd like to know if you're a customer, or a bandwidth burner.

I think he is off to a great start.

FreeHugeMovies · 07-20-2004, 08:54 AM

Drew is 100% correct. The movie post market is a totally different one. They are more visual and want to see what exactly their dime is going to get them.

That being said you generally want tons of thumbs on your page. I would have at least 15 scenes on your first page to help give them a better visual.

ldinternet · 07-20-2004, 09:03 AM

The content looks kind of stale, I'm assuming that deluxepass provided you with it. What you could really do with doing, it taking the original DVDs and working from there, you'll get a much better quality result in both the finished movies and the screenshots. Also you'll be able to convert cleanly in two stages, from dvd to mpg, dvd to wmv, dvd to avi, etc... instead of going in three stages dvd to mpeg to wmv, dvd to mpeg to avi, etc.

As every other fucker has said, it needs a little more sales pitch. That doesn't mean you need to reduce the number of images, though. You don't want to be like every other deluxepass archive out there especially if you don't have exclusive content... more than half of them don't convert for shit. Fortunately deluxepass has a good reputation for keeping members past the 1st month.

Also... needs more cock. :D

Yeah, but they're good for a laugh.

This is DH's first tranny site.. but the same can't be said for for his first tranny experience.

Ann-Angelcom · 07-20-2004, 09:43 AM

Is it just me or does it look like he grabbed some movies from like the 1950s. I think newer content may help the site sell better. Sure it's more costly but then again you're not showing the same thing that 20 other sites are showing at the same time.....cheap content. Good luck with it though....I've been doing some of my own research on opening a ts site. Just have to find the right model

Bottomline is that you need to put hotter "girls" on there.

macho · 07-20-2004, 09:46 AM

I think too many pics on the first page.

DrewKole · 07-20-2004, 09:48 AM

That content is actually really good for tranny. =)

Not too many great dvd rips out there right now for tranny.... unfortunately. =(

Johny Traffic · 07-20-2004, 11:09 AM

Its the type of design that converts, maybe not the type that webmasters or designers like, but definatly the type that sells. I think it will do very well

Phoenix · 07-20-2004, 11:13 AM

damn..very nice....tons of video there

good stuff Mark, im sure you will bank with it
