  Utilizing All The Content You Use On TGP Galleries!
  
  For the last few months i have been experimenting with a few new (but old, if ya see what i mean) ideas.

  Basically i have adapted Voltars 3x3x3 project slightly and incorporated it into the TGP/TGP2 game.

  The results have given me some of the best sales ratios ever! We’re talking under 1:60 almost consistently across all sponsors!!

  What you did is thus….

  Design a NICE 15 pic tgp gallery in a table preferably four rows high and 5 columns across.

  In the first row place one thumb in each cell (5 pics).
  In the second row place one odd sized banner in the first cell and merge cells 2,3 , 4 and, 5.
  In the cells you have merged place some descriptive text about the pics you are using in under two paragraphs and include a line of text where you MENTION the sponsors site name.
  In row 3 place one thumb in each cell (5 pics).
  in row 4 place on thumb in each cell (5 pics).
  under the table place a juicy text link.
  below this juicy text link leave a line or two and add a money bar (one row by three columns using a contrasting color to the background of your gallery page).
  ALL pics go on html pages using the same layout as your main TGP page but, without the table included.
  Repeat this process 4 times once for four different niches, saving each niche in their own sub folder for the main site i.e:

  url/sub folder/niche 1
  url/sub folder/niche 2
  url/sub folder/niche 3
  url/sub folder/niche 4

  You should now have 4 TGP galleries using 15 pics on each in four niches (60 pics in total).

  At the top of each of these main pages place a three cell one row table.

  in this table use text links to describe each niche i.e:

  Teen
  Gay
  Lesbian
  Mature

  in the template for the teen niche you use text for the gay, lesbian and, mature templates and link these to the appropriate TGP template.

  This is where the fun begins…..

  Take all four TGP niche galleries you have just made and do the following….

  Delete the first row of cells (including pics) on all TGP galleries and save the new page layout in another folder using the same navigation structure as the original ie:

  url/sub folder 2/niche1
  url/sub folder 2/niche2
  etc
  etc

  You should now have the following:

  four TGP templates consisting of 15 pics each.
  four TGP templates consisting of 10 pics each.

  Again, link these new 10 pic templates to each other in the same way as you did the 15 pic templates.

  Repeat this procedure to make the 10 pic TGP page using the original TGP page BUT, this time, delete the bottom row of cells.

  You now have the following:

  4 niche 15 pic TGP pages
  4 niche 10 pic TGP pages
  ANOTHER 4 niche 10 pic TGP pages

  Still with me?

  Its gets better….

  Take your original 15 pic TGP template and do the following…

  Delete the first and the third row of cells including all the pics and save them in ANOTHER folder using the same structure as before i.e:

  url/sub folder 3/niche 1
  url/ sub folder 3/niche 2
  etc
  etc

  Again link these in the same way as before using the text links at the top of the pages.

  What do you have now?

  4 TGP pages using 15 pics
  8 TGP pages using 10 pics
  4 TGP2 pages using 5 pics

  Can you guess what’s next?

  Take that original template again and…

  Remove the first and fourth row of cells do the same when you save it as you have done above…

  What do you have?

  4 TGP pages using 15 pics
  8 TGP pages using 10 pics
  8 TGP2 pages using 5 pics

  Do it once more using the original templates but removing the final set of 2 rows of cells you now have…

  4 TGP pages using 15 pics
  8 TGP pages using 10 pics
  16 TGP2 pages using 5 pics

  In the root of the domain where you are going to upload these pages do the following…

  Create a simplistic warning page… link this to a multi site FPA… this multi site FPA links to each of the niche (15 pic) TGP templates you have made.

  On this same fpa place an email erotica collection box, banner exchange code and a toplist counter code along with an exit console going to a MC POTD program.

  Now, what you need to do is start submitting these pages to the TGP/TGP2’s submit one a day or as many as you can until you have submitted them all.

  Ok still here?

  Next you have to duplicate ALL of the above again.

  Place the duplicate of the above into a separate set of folders/sub domains etc.

  On the new root you have created, link to another multi site FPA AND the first root index.html page.

  You now have the makings of an EXCLUSIVE 3x3x3 TGP hub which, you can leave alone and submit all of the pages intermittently to any TGP/TGP2 you wish for LIFE!!

  All the time you are adding new sections to it and building your link pop in the search engines because you are continually interlinking to each of the separate niche and relevant sub niche folders.

  Of course, you NEED to get the meta’s sorted on the first main template for this to work but, if you change all subsequent meta descriptions etc you’ll have a very reasonable listing in Google for the relevant search terms

• Tips For Submitting To TGP’s

  Date: 2011.02.24 | Category: TGP | Response: 0

  One of the most popular ways for getting traffic to sites these days is to submit galleries to TGP’s and because it is so popular there is a lot of competition for getting listed. If you like, it is a buyer’s (TGP’s) market, with the supply of galleries exceeding the demand. For example, at Richard’s Realm we only list about 60% of the galleries submitted and that’s after we’ve filtered out unwanted free hosts, free email addresses and submission bots. If we didn’t do that we would be listing about 20%-30% of all submissions.

  Before you begin
  
  Submitting to TGP’s is a numbers game. It’s all about volume and percentages. The amount of money your gallery generates can be estimated using a formula with 4 elements:

  Total Hits To Gallery X Click Through Ratio X Signup Ratio X $ Per Signup = Total Revenue

  So, for example, 1 in 25 surfers to your gallery clicks on a banner or a link, you use a sponsor paying $30 a signup and you have a 1:400 signup ratio with them from your TGP traffic. The formula then becomes:

  Total Hits To Gallery X 4% X 0.25% X $30 = Total Revenue

  You can see now that the only thing remaining that will affect your Total Revenue is the Total Hits To Gallery. If you increase the Total Hits To Gallery the Total Revenue will also increase.

  Of course, experienced TGP submitters also know that you can work on improving the other elements of the formula to improve Total Revenue. They tweak their galleries and change banner and link placement to maximize the Click Through Ratio. If it is improved and rises from 1 in 25 (4%) to 1 in 20 (5%), their Total Revenue increases overall by 20%.

  Building the gallery
  
  Examine the formula above and you will see that two elements can be manipulated at the gallery building stage: Click Through Ratio and Signup Ratio.

  It is always said, and surprisingly often overlooked, but select a sponsor for a gallery which complements the gallery’s content. For example, if you build a big tits gallery use a big tits sponsor. With more and more TGP’s becoming categorized people surfing the big tits category will be looking for bit tits and are more likely to be interested in a big tits sponsor!

  In addition, be sure to use sponsors which are not overly-used, sponsors which are little known. If you go through a TGP you will see the same sponsors and banners showing up all the time. If a surfer sees a banner 10 times they are only going to click on it the once. So even if you build the perfect gallery with top notch banner placement and pictures, if the surfer clicked on the same banner on the previous gallery they’re not going to click on yours!

  Selecting TGP’s
  
  There are hundreds of TGP’s you can submit to. It is usually advantageous to select TGP’s that only post your type of gallery, as well as the more generic ones. For example, submit to TGP’s which only list big tit galleries or galleries with one-legged midget lesbians (if that’s your niche). The more targeted traffic will usually result in better click-through ratios and better signups, especially if you’re using a new or little-known sponsor for the particular niche.

  TGP’s with a moderate level of traffic that send a few hundred hits tend to be quite good. Admittedly, to get any real volume you need to submit to quite a few, but consider using TGSW to do the bulk of it. My reasoning for using the smaller TGP’s is that they tend to list fewer pages and the surfers tend to be less “professional” and adept at dodging banners.

  Submitting your gallery
  
  There are no real tricks to this bit, but it is very important to remember that TGP’s usually get far more submissions than they need or want. You must try your best not to give them a reason to reject your gallery:

  • Read the rules carefully and follow them. The TGP webmaster doesn’t put them there for fun and if you break them it’s possible you will be blacklisted.
  • Look at the galleries already listed on the TGP to get some idea of what the webmaster likes.
  • Don’t try to be smart and use different names and email addresses to avoid the per webmaster submission limits. Although galleries can look very different, reviewers have a good memory and can often recognize designs, layouts and descriptions. If they spot you trying to cheat you’ll probably end up getting blacklisted.
  • Take a look at their TGP and see what kind of description they like, Adult Buffet have very different descriptions to Richards-Realm. This might not determine whether or not you get listed, but it’s a chance to get a good description of your choice and, hopefully, more hits.
  • Select the right category for your gallery. If you submit your gallery to the “Teens” category and it should be in the “Mature Women” category it will get put there or rejected. If you get the gallery listed in the wrong category you may get more hits, but if a surfer is expecting a nice young lady in the pictures he’s just going to hit his back button and look at the next gallery in the list – probably not even giving your banners a chance to load.

  Monitoring your gallery
  
  Once you’ve submitted your gallery you should keep an eye on how it performs. View the stats to see who listed you, how many hits they sent and how much you made from the gallery. It is even worthwhile to create galleries dedicated to specific TGP’s, so you can monitor their performance even more closely. If a TGP sends lots of hits but no signups it’s probably worth no longer submitting to them or changing the gallery to see if you can improve the click throughs or signups. Compare before and after stats if you make changes in the gallery layout or sponsor to see if they’re working.

  Whatever you do keep tweaking and monitoring your galleries to get the best possible performance for each of the elements in the revenue formula.

• Thumbnail Preview TGPs And The Gay Market Place

  Date: 2011.02.24 | Category: TGP | Response: 0

  One of the latest crazes to hit the gay adult market from a webmasters point of view is that of the thumbnail preview TGP and, more surprisingly than this is the fact that this new breed of gay adult TGP seems to attract more traffic than the standard format TGP ever did so, what is a thumbnail preview TGP and just how do you go about making one of your own? This is what we will investigate in this article.

  Thumbnail Preview TGP Basics.

  A thumbnail preview TGP is just as the name suggests, a standard TGP with one main difference, the TGP itself doesn’t list gallery descriptions rather a small preview image of the content placed on each of the galleries submitted. This thumbnail preview is usually size between 100×100 pixels and 60×60 pixels in dimension however, the thumbnail preview size can be determined by the webmaster owning the TGP.

  How Do I Start My Own Thumbnail Preview TGP?

  In order to start your own thumbnail preview TGP you will need a couple of things, first and foremost, a domain name to run it on, the current trend in the gay marketplace is to name your TGP something short, memorable and, well, brand able so, the domain name you choose for your TGP should take all of these aspects into consideration. The next thing you will need in order to run your own gay thumbnail preview TGP will be the script which you use to manage the TGP itself, for this purpose I would highly recommend Autogallery MySQL from http://www.jmbsoft.com it is affordable and, easy to maintain which is a must if you are wanting to run a sizable TGP. One other thing that you may also like to consider investing in for your thumbnail preview TGP is a design, in fact, most of the ‘good’ thumbnail preview TGPs whether they are focused in the straight or gay market, have a clean, almost pay site quality design aspect to them. Of course, you do not need to keep up with the joneses however, if it works for other people, then why not see if it will work for you also?

  Thumbnail TGP Structure.

  So you now have a domain and have purchased the script and / or design that you want to use on your thumbnail preview TGP what next? Well first things are first, you should take a look at some of the other sites that currently exist and see how they do things, find out what things you feel they are doing wrong and, capitalize on that.

  You should also make some decisions now as to the look and feel you want your thumbnail preview TGP to have, how many galleries are you going to list on the front page each day? Will you be utilizing the archives feature of your TGP script? What limitations do you want to put on submissions from other webmasters? These are all aspects of running a TGP that you need to think of prior to opening your site up for general submissions.

  In general however, you will find that most thumbnail preview TGP sites will have roughly 100 thumbnail images on their front page of the site with any additional galleries being listed in their archives section again, you should decide on how you want to maintain your own site.

  Getting Traffic To Your Thumbnail Preview TGP.

  Now you have hopefully set your thumbnail preview TGP live you need to do one final step in making the TGP itself a huge success, get the traffic flowing, one of the best ways to do this, as with any other type of site is to ask your friends and associates to trade traffic with your site however, should this not be an option then you should use more conventional methods such as submitting galleries to other TGP sites ensuring that you use a recip to your TGP on each gallery as well as utilizing other forms of traffic such as cheap brokered traffic, top lists, web rings and, even counters, within a month or so you will soon start to see a steady flow of new webmaster gallery submissions and, with each new submission comes more traffic and ultimately, more income from your site.

• TGP Posting – Automating Submissions Responsibly

  Date: 2011.02.21 | Category: TGP | Response: 0

  TGP Posting – Automating Submissions Responsibly.
  
  Many an experienced webmaster has endured first hand the labor intensive process of manually building a submitting large quantities of image galleries to TGP’s in an effort to drive traffic, whether it be to their own site or a sponsors, in a bid to generate money. One quickly learns that creating a gallery template is the way to go, whereby one can more quickly and easily swap out the reciprocal links for the TGP’s, which means building customized galleries is more efficient, before going off to submit them to all the relevant TGP’s…

  But this is only the beginning of the story. Manually visiting and posting to all of the TGP’s (there are literally thousands of them) takes a lot of time. Moreover, one must stop and read the rules for each TGP to ensure one is staying within the specified guidelines…

  There is an easier way! Enter the Thumbnail Gallery Submission Wizard (TGSW). It takes much of the labor intensive work out of producing galleries for, and submitting them to, TGP’s. Available in both desktop (PC) and server (Perl based) versions, TGSW has gained rapid and widespread acceptance as the de-facto TGP gallery automation tool. Some of it’s features include:

  Fully Customizable Gallery Templates.

  You can create templates on a niche by niche basis, inserting appropriate sponsor codes and images. For the thumbnails and images they link to, you simply insert some intuitive ‘placeholder tags’, which are interpreted by TGSW at run-time and replaced with the appropriate images. You can be flexible as to how many thumbs/images you would like displayed per gallery to meet your own personal preferences.

  Automated Reciprocal Link Insertion.

  You can also insert placeholder tags for the automatic insertion of reciprocal links. At run-time, TGSW will insert a specified number of reciprocal links in the positions you have inserted those tags in your templates.

  Customizable Filenames.

  You can specify filename options so that when TGSW generates galleries, the filenames it uses are unique to your galleries.

  FTP and ‘Free Host’ Support.

  Do you host your galleries on a free host? Or simply on another of your servers? TGSW can be configured to FTP the completed galleries (along with images and thumbs if necessary) to a server of your choice. There is also a lot of support for ‘free hosts’ that don’t have FTP, but instead used a browser-based upload manager.

  Automatic Gallery Submission.

  TGSW will then automatically submit all of the galleries it generates to all of the appropriate TGP’s. It even sends an email to the TGP’s that require submissions via that method! TGSW can even be configured to place all of your submissions via a proxy server, so you can mask the IP address from where you submit.

  Extensive Reporting.

  There is an optional reporting feature that you can turn on or off. When turned on, TGSW logs all of the submission information at the point of submission, which you can review at your leisure at a later time.

  Regular Updates.

  TGP’s come and go, so TGSW offers an auto-update feature, whereby it will download the latest copy of the database from our site. We usually update at least once per week, sometimes more often, to keep your database current.

  Of course, due to the personalized nature of your galleries, there will be some significant configuration work to do before one can hope to achieve any real results with TGSW. One of the key points is that we do not ship the product with any TGP’s enabled – this way, you are responsible for your own usage of TGSW, and are forced to at least visit the TGP’s in question – we do this in an attempt to remain responsible.

  If you have neither the time nor the inclination to configure the TGSW TGP database yourself, then I highly recommend http://www.tgswupdates.com. They have spent extensive time configuring the current TGSW database for 55 niche categories, and offer fully-configured updates very soon after we release a new auto-update – not only will you be up-to-date, but you will also have all of the available TGP’s enabled, along with all of the reciprocal link images ready to start posting!
