Hi all, I've made the site which is hopefully good for playing, painting, exploring etc, and which also has a commercial side (offers 3 types of free & paid ads). This is my brand new 1st site, so I would appreciate some reviews & critiques - http://milliondollargalleries.com thanks! edit - here is the video introduction / walkthrough regarding the site's features and how to use them
^ I get what you are saying, it's indeed empty right now (at least until ads and user generated artworks starts to show up). Empty unless you really like painting and exploring in this way. I'm not really sure if should I add something and what should that be.
My site just got the 1st ad (free, static pixels). With more content I think it will definitely become more colorful and better looking.
^ thanks regarding sounds, I've composed a dialogue / story with movie quotes. To hear it all, you need to go from 1 to 107. When you enter in Gallery 1, you hear the 1st primary clip (on page load) - move the mouse over the tab "1" and you hear the secondary clip.
^ I agree that this concept can go further, but my opinion is that instead of developing this kind of site for years and having a site which loads forever (I do have 108 galleries), it's better to have simple painting and messing around - just like it is, and in the future maybe go to the next level which would be some kind of the game with ad blocks (hopefully more creative than snake). Also, regarding potential, this site is only 1 month online, and so far I got: pages / visit: 3.60 avg. visit duration: 3:47 bounce rate: 39.59% With more targeted visitors, I think these stats can only get better.
