Re: textDeck - Would like some feedback
I admit I'm a little nervous about this because textDeck isn't the sort of site I'm used to--particularly for advertising. However, it's a clever idea and not entirely worthless. Here's what I found:
1. If you click the "Read More" button, it shows a drop down with more information. Great. But it says to read the rules below and the only thing below are buttons telling you what types of sites are/aren't allowed. Are these the rules? If so, you will want to clarify. If not (and it feels to me as I read them that they are not the rules, or at least not completed rules), then you will want to post the rules there ASAP.
2. Grammar and spelling.
- "A free advertising / promotion site, promote anything you want!" This is a comma splice. It should be two sentences with a period instead of a comma.
- "So you are probably wondering what the differance is between free submissions and member submissions, well members have a page where they can see all of their submitted links, custom profile (coming soon!) and more features down the road." Another comma splice after the second "submissions." "Difference" is also misspelled.
- "textDeck is a free site to promote your links for free, become a member and get more features!" Another comma splice.
- "Please take a moment and read the rules below, anyone who does not follow them will have there account terminated." And yet another.
Overall, look out for comma splices. (Run-on sentences where you use a comma instead of the proper punctuation.)
3. You keep mentioning member benefits are in the works. This is a very simple website that is almost boring. It's not bad--it's just so simple that someone's going to drop a link and run away never to look back again. So get the member benefits out and rolling as soon as possible so you can retain people. Tell us what the benefits are, too, instead of being vague.
4. I really like that this is guest friendly. And I do like the "member" option . . . I just want to know more about it.
I hope this helped, and I wish you the best of luck with your site. The concept is great. It reminds me of the button plug boards, and I'll be interested to see how this takes off.

Re: textDeck - Would like some feedback
I would like to leave some constructive feedback...
1) Get a domain, to make your site look professional.
2) Perhaps change your name? I mean what does text deck stand for/mean?
3) The site has potential, however where has the option to upload a banner gone? would love to see that come back.
4) For advertising income purposes, the thing which puts me off your website is ADFLY. Sorry i know it gets you income, but there are other ways such as google ads and selling ad space too on BUYSELLADS etc sites.
5) Images, your site lacks images whether it be a mascot or something to set you apart from any other forum link uploader.

Re: textDeck - Would like some feedback
I don't say this to be mean or negative-natured but I'd never use a service that uses a free hosting service. Once you get active, it doesn't remain free. You might learn that the hard way but its better to consider it now.
@AdamWells - your avatar is the first image I learned how to create on photoshop via a Youtube video tut 😛

Re: textDeck - Would like some feedback
This is true, I have not thought about any images 🙂 Also, forgot about the banners (going to make then a member only feature)<br /><br />-- 14 Dec 2013, 09:38 --<br /><br />AdamWells said:

Get domain in first level. It's not seem like real and serious site (free hosting and domain).
