the future of ddl sites?

[michiel]

godamnnnnnnnnnnn. phaze is putting his own sites on his firstpage. like we are the dogs. we are the source of the ddl sites. if we dont submit downloads, ddl sites will be dieeee. now katz.ws is doing the same. this stonefeather is doing the same. he is putting his site softwarezbb.com on all sections at the first page and on the main page he gets 90% of it. then his friend pornbb? he is mod on his site softwarezbb.com too. his site pornbb gets everyday 90% of the xxx section. look at his site http://www.pornbb.org/. he got a damn ad at the top. i checked 10 forums. they all dont have ads and submits like for 1 year. 20 minuts agi friend of me submitted. and 10 mins later katz has updated the site. his downloads went to first page on xxx section. then 5 mins ago pornbb came again at the first page. please dont do this. he may have 5 stars, but there are like 100 other forums which are clean and submits it for a year.

look at alexa.com and compare phazeddl.com and katz.ws. phazeddl was bigger then katz, but now katz.ws is bigger. you know why? becuase people saw phaze is only putting his own downloads at the first pages, now it will happen with katz too. dont put only some websites every day at the first pages. i get very happy and then i see my downloads are on page 10 in 5 mins

example:

compare pornbb with the next sites:

http://ddlicious.com/forum/
http://justporn*****
http://instantddl.com/


they all cleaner then pornbb, but why do they never get first page?


what i suggest: if 10 sites has 5 stars, make a script, only 5 downloads of eac
h site will get first page or second. like that. its not nice to see only sharebay/pornbb/stonefeather gets first page

oo and owners of this websites, please dont say anything, there are like 200 sites which submit, everyone need to get something, not only 3 people

sorry for my english

Well, when your site gets to the size of mine and your hosting costs exceed $200 a month which donations don't cover there comes a time when you have no choice but to add advertisements. There's only one, and it's barely intrusive. If you're willing to host me for free I will willingly remove the advertisement.

In regards to my site getting on the front page, that's due to it having a higher ranking than yours. If your site appears on the front page for a few minutes that's because submissions are currently being accepted. I try not to submit more than 20 downloads a day, though on this update I had 40 due to the update taking longer than usual.

i won't let that happen michiel -- i believe in distributing traffic to all.

we implement a caching system and if the caching system is triggered whilst we're accepting downloads, submissions of sites which are not 5 stars will momentarily show on page 1.

i wish i knew how to code this... when I accept submissions, I list submissions from various different 4 and 5 star sites on page 1. unfortunately, other staff that accept submissions usually don't follow this.

I've have a lot of sleepless nights (no, but you get my point) wondering how the heck you got your site that big, in 4 months.

SEO, advertising, passworded files, nfos, social bookmarking, word of mouth, spam (), purchasing dead domains/sites, heck I went through the list but I can't seem to find what was your trick.


Good work on that mate, hopefully when you're feeling a little generous, you could give me a [s]few[/s] all of your tricks.

I know he gets more traffic from google then he does katz =/

Good on him tho, takes a lot of work, time, and patience to have a site bloom like that.

More content = more traffic from google I guess.

Agreed.

even my grandmother can get a big site if she gets 5 stars lol

[Simba49]

Anyone can really, if they have the right content etc. . It will take time for a site to go to one star to another. If your a 3 star right now wait a month and you'll be a 4! Everyone earns there own traffic by how hard they work. Talking from my own expirence, i was a 2 star when i stated doing submissions here then i decided,"damn im getting shi* i need to work harder". So after that day I started putting lots of hrs into getting posts and soon enough i had over 1,000 threads in every section with only 64 members. The next day i was a 4 star. Even 4 star submissions get the front page sometimes
