If the post is considered spam, just delete it, I was just looking for some help.

If the content is origional it is not spam. Please dont use spam content, if you don't your website will be increasingly credible and users will return. No ads are a good thing, and further highlight that there is a reason for your website to exist other than revenue. Websites with no ads are obviously designed to provide content to the viewer. Good layout, and simply work on your meta tags to get indexed in search engines.

OK. I apologize. Not spam.

I said spam because there are too many "first posts" by registered people asking for "site reviews" when it clear that all they are trying to do is drive traffic to their website. My first reaction was that as I saw "adult content". And, I never see ads because I have installed the Adblockplus extension into Firefox.

Back to your site.

1. What makes it Web 2.0? I am not sure.
2. Can you be more specific about what type of feedback you are looking for?
3. I would change the title tag to "Free Erotic Stories, adult fiction and erotica - Lush Stories"
4. I would shorten the description tag.
5. I think you have too many keywords.
6. I would move all the javascript to external calls.

Thanks Dave.

There are no ads whatsoever on the site. Agree about the JS.

The web 2.0 is related to the interactivity of the site, along the lines of digg / pligg type sites - users can submit content, vote on it, embellish, comment etc.

I agree with Dave. Also, take a look at this site at different resolutions. people still using 800x600 will see it does not fit in the window.

good luck.

I guess it was spam!
;)

I like the site design and look of the site.

My reason for not using the site would be because of the site not being updated.

To make a site like this work the content needs to always be changing.

**dharrison** · #11 (**permalink**) 01-31-2007, 03:31 PM

This may not be spam, but I have modified the title as the external link does (obviously) contain adult content.

timmathews.com · #12 (**permalink**) 01-31-2007, 05:02 PM

Not too bad for stories... I was reading a couple and things just kept popping up...
Dang it.

I didn't click on any links, I guess it's a good thing, I hate pop-ups.

timmathews.com · #14 (**permalink**) 01-31-2007, 05:21 PM

LOL!
HAHA, they were not your typical web site related pop-ups.
Golly, I'm blushing...

heh - I thought that's what you meant!

There are ZERO popups on the site - popups suck. I hate them. There will be ads down the track of course, but contextual and discrete.

Sorry, should have mentioned adult content. me bad.

Totally agree - once our membership base is up, that will take care of itself. In the meantime, we will add new material regularly to keep surfers and bots interested.

Lush,
I really like the idea you have there. I think it is a great concept. Email me, tim@timmathews.com, I would like to talk to you more about it.
Thanks,
Tim
