Nikkis Playmates - How To Build A Site

"Yes, I go all the way up to 11...."
Quite often....actually, more often than not, sites that are submitted to us for review are new sites that have very few sets of content for you to see. I always used to question why sites did that but I think I understand now.
Obviously they want some early publicity for their site. Nothing wrong with that. But I wish more of them would do what Nikkis Playmates would do and come back for a re-review when they're established with more content so we can assess them better.
That said, very few sites have come back within the short time-span between reviews that Nikkis Playmates had and shown off such a marked improvement. This is a site that made serious progress in the 5 months between reviews.
The benefits of this are numerou. Having established its place in the market with the initial review, it made people aware of their presence, went away, made a point of vastly improving and enlarging their site, and then coming back to show what they had achieved.
As such, Nikkis Playmates showed me and indeed all of our readers that they are working hard and intend to make this the best site they possibly can. And that's why I would put them in the top 10 sites I've seen in 2008 so far.
For me personally, I enjoyed the fact that Nikki herself has become more of a factor on the site. See, I don't think I was familiar with her original site and they don't actually tell you what that site was, so they needed to back up the fact that she was a major player.
Clearly others thought the same and she's now a regular model on the site, and her appearances certainly do suggest that she deserves to be heading such a site. She's absolutely stunning and heads the site brilliantly.
This really is an object lesson on how to improve your site after establishing an early reputation. Well done to everyone at Nikkis Playmates.
