When Will Designers Learn: Simple Galleries Convert Best
 

Make it simple. The surfer doesn't care how cool your design is. This is one of my best converting galleries:

The models not even cute. The gallery is just plain and straight forward.

Here's another that converts well:

SO simple...

lil2rich4u2 where u at? new galleries for ya :1orglaugh

LMAO

You need to add some 1337 h4x0r DHTML and flash movies to that page. :2 cents: .

I like simple too..

If my point was to waste bandwidth and convert nothing I'd do just what you suggest.

:1orglaugh

It's not all about conversions, though. I've made some galleries where the conversions aren't so hot but the enormous number of surfers pulled more than makes up for it.

Pah, you must be a newbie. What you need, are flash flyovers at least 4, and a DHTML page that sets itself as an active desktop. And also loud sounds that say HEY BUY THIS YOU PORN FREAK AND I WILL LET YOU CUM ALL OVER ME.

Just tryin to help a brotha make a dolla bill in this binness.

I bet lil2goodToCopySourceCode4u2 will be over to "study" them shortly.

I agree that less is more. Some of my best converting galleries before I ever started building my own were Nasty Dollar galleries using their gallery builder.. You can't get any more plain than that but they converted damn well. I don't think it's so much the designer that is doing the graphics heavy flashy galleries I think that's more what the client wants. Usually those that don't or can't design opt to go for the really snazzy looks fantastic type of gallery and snub those that tend to make galleries a little less showy.

simplicity could work maybe in amat niche but
Himmm i dont agree at all .. did you ever tried with nice looking galleries like this ?

This hosted gallery looks awesome for me ..

I agree from my experiences, also if you are promoting a glamour type site I as a surfer wouldn't want a plain gallery.

LOOKS being the key word in that last sentence. How does it convert? I've had galleries like that created for my site. They converted worse than anything I've ever tried.

There is a lot of graphical work on that page, but I would still call that "simple". It is a straightforward, top-to-bottom and a fairly uncluttered layout.

wohoo clean excellent work for me :thumbsup

thanks

On my first AVS site I flew the same lame ass newbie gallery design, every fucking day, for 3 years straight. 2 text links, 2 lines of text, 16 pics, and 3-4 recips on top. Converted great. really graet. Sure the conversions went down over time, but never by much.

If I wasn't doing something more profitable now, I'd still be using it.

When did you become the expert on gallery conversions?

My worst converting gallery might do better than your best converting gallery.
Just because its "your" best doesn't mean its "the" best.

And the gallery you posted has 16 pics and 7 sponsor links, it'd be kinda hard not to get clicks off of that, of course getting it listed and getting traffic to it is another story.

Nice rack on this one - she's a little cutie :Graucho

Hey Donovan isn't this your gallery?

I think we should all emulate your style and put 67 pics on each gallery, we'd all be making more money then :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

The situation with most people is they tend to think that what they are good at is the thing that matters most, in some instances it's all that matters. Unfortunately in life this is not always the case.

I think content is king, designers thinks design is, some think it's the concept of a site, a lot think traffic is.

Is this because the only way they can effect the the maount they earn is by improving what they are good at and ignotre the things they are weak at.

Design is important, but remember the guy with his CC out also has his dick out. So is he looking at the pretty logo and background or the chicks?

Traffic is important, but no matter how much you drive pass a pieca of shit it still stinks.

The concept is important, but you have to have the ability to present it in the right way so people understand it.

Content is important, but if no one sees it, who knows about it.

Everything is important, it's getting the right mix that matters.

Those galleries convert because the girls look like real amatuers doing it for fun and not $$$. They are HONESTLY laid out, the tours shows what people are getting.

The thing is to the surfer looking to pay there are 15 pictures, he just repeated each one 4 times. Bad. :(

Whats design got to do with any of this?

I've tried fancy and plain, and the middle ground seems to work best for me. This is my best converting gallery of all time. It's still doing great. Of course, it could be the content, too...

This gallery

It's all about the girl and her ability to make a sexually stimulating connection with the surfer.

Nothing else matters if that doesn't happen.

Simple galleries have there place , Good content that allmost tells the story for you allways helps. Very few use the most powerfull sales tool of all.

So what IS the most powerful sales tool of all? :)

If you join the TLC Hosting program you can get all of the Donovan Philips galleries sent via mail. Plus a few other sponsors too.

I was using that template back in 2000 for my Hun galleries. When did you start using it?

Also, I used in in 1999 for my AL4A slots . . . :Graucho

or the boy :glugglug

I believe that if a designer has a balanced work load, with some creative work and some more ?simpler? work he/she does a better job. Designers are by nature creative people and want to show it, therefore if they get a project they want to show their creative abilities. If at all possible, giving them 2 kinds of project is the best, such as TGP galleries and a new layout for the corporate web site. Just my thoughts.

you mean surfers don't jerk off to fancy logo's? wtf?

:1orglaugh

Hell yeah, as a designer, I do. :helpme

hahahaha :1orglaugh

my two best galleries ever were way different..

one was totally HTML work... but different then the pack.. simpler, but not like everyone's...

the other one was graphical, with more graphic and a theme that went with the site..

but not simple..

I cannot sell simple... I tried.. not working for me ;)

when will u ever learn ur 20 teen sites wont converts,
shit new idea hoes on a bus.

ill call it Hoe Bus.

Let me tell you something about that gallery, dumb ass... it was a gamble that paid off. I took a LOT of heat for that gallery from the people on this board because I sent it to The Hun and got accepted. The Hun saw me getting chewed up here and emailed me personally asking about my conversions off of his traffic.

Since then, because of people like you that ripped on me, he's listed my galleries almost EVERY SINGLE DAY.

So, thanks for ripping me.

:Graucho :thumbsup

That gallery was created using Arles Image Web Page Creator and then adding some text.


NOT stolen asshole.

Yeah I remember that thread, you told us all to go fuck ourselves because you had 4 signups off of that hun listings and thought you were the bees knees.

4 signups off a hun listing and he's giving us advice on how to make galleries that convert.
:1orglaugh

I am happy to see this thread.... So many critizie about having fancy stuff... but amateur starts amateur its not static it growsssss... If you don't have the fancy stuff etc... some think you suck....

start slowly but surely...

THanks this is encouraging !!!
