Maybe It’s The Daily Sucker For Tuesday July 21, 2009

Site: All Star Farm

Submitter’s comments: The only reason I know about this site is because it came up as an ad in Gmail, meaning that someone actually paid real money to advertise this web site.  I’ve spent two years building a web site for our business that I’m not ashamed of (most of the time).  This site makes me want to put my eyes out with a hoof pick…

I’m sure my wife could chime in on the horsie aspect of it, but that’s a different blog…

Vincent Flanders’ comments: This is an incredibly tacky looking site. I just love the fact that allstarfarm.com redirects to angelfire.com. Nothing says “professional” like redirecting your domain to a free web site. Yes, I know we’re in a econopocalypse (a word I borrowed from the submitter’s email), but you can’t look cheap. I also love the star that follows your cursor. I’m thinking about using one of my head shots as a cursor. Is that scary or what?

On the other hand…this site is about fantasy horses and I can make the case that this gold-gilded Gorgon is exactly what the audience for this type of product expects. That’s why I said, “Maybe It’s The Daily Sucker.” Obviously, most businesses would do well not to use this site as a template.
