"Jeremy has a nice looking site with guy/guy shoots but he needs grow the amount of content." |

Jeremy Roddick is a solo gay amateur who specializes in guy/guy content. The site is fairly straightforward including the guest tour pages where surfers can get in-browser video trailers for each of his episodes. Those samples will give you a good feel for him and his style of content.
The Goods:
- Exclusive Amateur Hardcore Shoots. Looking back through the collection I see that nearly all the shoots featured Jeremy and another guy until more recently when he has moved more to two other models. So as a solo amateur site he has mostly content featuring him but also some shoots where he does not appear. Nearly all the action is guy/guy hardcore although I do see one threesome mixed in as well.
- Sharp Looking Site Design. The graphics and overall appearance of the site is well done. The content browsing for the guest tour pages and in the member's area are identical which is something I like to see. Each episode page includes a list of the model names, episode title, and a written description about the shoot/guys. Other than the movies section the only other main content part of the site is the blog page.
- Good Vid Quality, Decent Options. The WMV video files look pretty nice. These are available for download or in-browser playing. Additionally there are downloadable and in-browser QT files available.
The Bads:
- Small Site that Needs Growth. There are a couple dozen episodes in all (as of Feb '08). There's definitely room for improvement there. This is especially true since those movies/pics make up the totality of the content other than the blog entries. Besides the raw content numbers the site doesn't feel full and could use some bulking up.
- No Update or Vid Details Provided. For the content the model names and a written description are all the info that is listed. Things like update info, video file size, and video length aren't posted at all. The lack of update info is the most important of these items.
- Little Interaction or Bio Info. Jeremy's blog is pretty sparse with some pics and behind-the-scenes footage. Consistency and lengthy personal entries aren't his strength. Jeremy also doesn't provide any sort of personal info or biography for members. Solo member’s sites should give members lots of personal info but that's not the case here.
Conclusion:
Jeremy has some solid foundational things in place with the exclusive content, nice design, and nice video quality. What needs more focus is updates and growth including both the main pics/vids as well as the blog/interaction features. The $29.95/mo price is rather high considering he size of the site.
