Snakesworld ... a behind the scenes review and commentary

Snakesworld

Our Overall Rating: A

Our Summary: A nice surfer friendly tgp!

Snakesworld uses direct hyperlinks and does not appear to mix in blindlinks into its listings. Its advertising is clearly separate from its listings and it does not use any tricks to redirect surfers to somewhere they were not expecting.

Snakesworld's signature is to use a long list of text hyperlinks of carefully chosen size to create a "snake" effect when you scroll down the page. This means they don't include as much infomation about their listings as some other tgps, however we still gave it top marks in this category as that is its signature style.

One disapointment was the lack of a content label stating that the page was not suitable for minors.

Over a period of a week, our crawler found fresh listings leading to 6941 pictures (432.7Mb) and 455 movies (408.6Mb).

Overall we liked snakesworld.com. It doesn't try and rip surfers off, and has a unique original style.

Snakesworld Summary

	C	A bit more popular than average.
	A	At the top of the page is the snakes world tgp logo, then some counters and about a page of banners. The main listing are only a page down, there are some extra banners but they are clearly separate from the listings.
	F	no :(
	B	Snakesworld.com uses a long list of short descriptions of varying length to give the impression of a snake when you scroll down. We this a B and not a C because while the descriptions are too short (and have no indication of numbers), it is the signature of this tgp
	A+	www.snakesworld.com gets an A+ for direct hyperlinks
	A+	No skimming so snakesworld gets an A+. There were a number of pages that show 0 pics/movies, however they do not look like blindlinks. Our crawler only took a quick look at each page, and unless the page looked like a thumb-gallery page, did not look any further
	A	Snakesworld had an average daily update of 54.1Mb pics and 51.1Mb movies. This puts snakesworld just above average for both pics and movies
