Splash pages
What do you think about this splash page:
http://kyogre.pgamers.com/splash5.htm The old version: http://kyogre.pgamers.com/splash4.htm |
It looks brighter, and that's good, but I prefer the old one in terms of design.
|
Ya the old one in design wise, but i guess change is always good ^^
|
I'm still considering whether I should change it. If I can figure out a way to make the new splash better than the old, I guess I'll stick with the old splash.
|
I don't use splash no more it lowers your search engine ranking.
|
interesting.......*writes down for a future site of mine*i learned something over summer break!!!(there's still hope!!!)
|
They lower your ranking b/c to get to your site the spider has to index splash and your main page, and being the splash is the first page, if it doesn't have content on it (most splash pages don't) it will simply skip the next page or not but much effort into it. I have lots of experience with search engines.
|
Then just trick the search engine. ;P
And the old one is better design wise. |
yeah, normally if you dont have splash you'll appear on search engines more often.
just dont put the splash on your first page though.. |
The old one is better, I think. It's better designed, the new one looks like it was made by an amateur designer. The old one is more sophisticated.
|
Yeah, go old.. Or just change it to a completely new design.
Also, on the search engine when you search all my keywords i'm high up anyway so it doesn't really worry me to much :P |
i like the old one imo. however the newone is always good for change. on my site i killed the splash page and made a preloader

Hm...maybe add words on your splash page? |
Ever see the sites that have a huge paragraph of junk on their splash pages? That's how you trick it.
|
Good idea, I was thinking of doing that to my splash page, since my news page is going to be a .shtml. I dislike splash pages, actually.
|
And if you do it right, you could do like size one font, and then make it the color of the background, it won't bother you visitors then. ^^;
|
Although I don't really like that, it's kind of cheating. My site is high for "patamon", but not for anything else. And TPP isn't high for *anything*.
|
Well, you could put a few keywords in there or something. Just to bump it up a few notches.
|
Fair 'nuff, but no one wants to link to TPP anyway. You want to know my opinion? Pokémon webmasters are a lot tighter than their Digimon counterparts. When I opened PW, I got affiliation with three big sites straight away, but with TPP all the Pokémon sites around have ridiculous hit requirements. They don't care how much work you put in, or how much potential the site has. All they care about is hits. I mean, how am I supposed to get that kind of hits if no one will affiliate with me anyway? o_O
|
You need a domain in the Pokemon world I guess.
And the Digimon world is populated by older people too, so that might have an impact. |
google is smarter than that, there bot looks at the bg color of the page and the font color, can bet u banned.
|
Fair enough, I guess older people are less impetuous and more given to looking carefully at the sites. Although Tim (Casey, the webmaster of AE) is only a couple of years older than me I think.
|
Eh, it's not only google that searches. There's Yahoo, Altavista, etc.
|
Where have all the nice Pokemon webmasters gone?
Well if you can't affiliate with the big websites, use my policy: affiliate with as many of the small ones as you possibly can XD. Also if you apply and don't have the right amount of hits, they may accept you anyway. My former host, Pokecastle, was an affiliate of PPN, and only had about half of the hits needed to be an affiliate. So you might as well give it a shot.... |
I might, but I just don't want to be flamed at by people saying "haven't you read the rules?" And I don't even have half the hits... more like an eighth of the hits :(
