Candylist

Our Overall Rating: NA

Our Summary: Overall we liked Candylist. Direct hyperlinks, and no evidence of skimming means the surfer knows where they are going when they click on a listing,

There is more advertising on candylist compared to some of the other TGPs we studied (for example pinkworld), however it is clear what is advertising and what is a natural listing ... so we had no problems with this.

It was good to see that they had made the effort to label the website as not safe for children, although according to the ICRA validator there may have been a technical problem with their label.

Over the course of a week, our crawler found 2641 freshly listed pictures (231.7Mb) and 130 fresh listed viseos (205.0Mb).

To sum up: Candylist is a nice TGP that gives the surfer what they are looking for.

http://www.candylist.com/ was download each day between 10th-Jan-2005 and 17th-Jan-2005.

Candylist Summary

	C+	In the middle of the road for both pop. measures
	B	We gave candylist a B because a fair amount of its space was devoted to advertising.
	A-	Contains a pics-label, however when we looked at the page, it appeared to be in an invalid format. The ICRA validator states that it is not labelled.
	A	candylist.com uses 3-4 word text hyperlinks, sorted by date into two columns. We gave it an A because it clearly states how many pictures and movies each page contains
	A+	This tgp uses direct static hyperlinking, and does not alter the status bar area. We gave www.candylist.com an A+ for its direct and simple hyperlinking
	A+	No skimming, and sponsors listings are obvious. This gets candylist.com an A+
	A	Candylist averaged 29 MB of new pictures and 25.6 MB of new movies each day. This is about average for all the tgps that were studied.
