my experience was always pretty sites didn't sell

I am not saying it has to be "pretty"...I am talking more about optimizing for sales.
For example, they havent optimized their homepage images for the search engines nor do they mention mobile access anywhere on their site.
- They have pics named "main_thumbs.jpg" on their homepage as well as a script calling images "http://www.homegrownvideo.com/view_image.php?gal=8455&file=sample.jpg&width=150& height=113" instead of having the script hardcode an optimized image name into the tour.
- They keyword-stuffed the metatags in the index file ( I did that shit in 2002). In fact, all their pages have the same description and keyword metatags, simply no excuse for that.
- They still have "copyright 2011" in the footer of all their pages and we are 38 days into 2012. If Im thinking of enter my credit card details I would prefer to see 2012, wouldn't you?
- They claim to be all about homegrown content but they have a picture of Hailey Young, a well-known pornstar, right on their videos page! NICE!

um, while Im at it...
http://www.homegrownvideo.com/index.php?section=586 is a SHITTY url for your main video section that many people will be bookmarking - should be
http://homegrownvideo.com/videos/ or
http://www.homegrownvideo.com/movies/
- Just checked, they dont even have a mobile-optimized version for smartphones (
) but he wants to spout off about how well this tour sells???
etc etc etc.... yeah, I can see they put alot of thought into this tour
it really is amateur hour in this thread
