xApster<br /><br />hey ... what are you doing with cashgallery?

WG, I am talking about TGP business, not about my site. But I guess if you want to buy it for $100,000 you can ICQ me, otherwise fuck off!

petr<br />TGP biz is much more competitve today than it was 2 years ago. I surf the links that I post, and I can't believe how many outstanding galleries there are. It makes it much harder to stand out from the crowd. Also, with the number of TGP sites out there, it is very difficult to have a "hot" sponsor stay hot for very long.<br /><br />It just means you have to keep your eyes open, and keep trying new things. Of course, sometimes you can go retro, and try old shit that used to work. Sometimes something old can be something new, if you wait long enough.

Most TGP sites just aren't any good I think.<br />There is like 100 new TGP sites launched daily and 9 out of 10 of them aren't built well or just look like shit.<br />And 80% of TGP sites seem to all use blind gallery links <img border="0" title="" alt="[Mad]" src="mad.gif" /> <br /><br />Well thats just how I see it <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="smile.gif" /> <br />Perhaps blind gallery links and forced dialer downloads are paradise to some I don't know <img border="0" alt="[ROTFLMAO]" title="" src="graemlins/rotflmao.gif" />

STEVEN,<br /><br />AMEN! You da man, I completely admire your post.

Dying, no but the surfer is oversaturated with too much free content, imho.<br />Try something new.<br /><br />Marco<br />info@codialer.com<br />ICQ 29151164

Steve has a very good point. Gallery makers have gotten much, much better over the last couple of years. Plus there are more people doing galleries making for more competition on just getting listed.<br /><br />I have also noticed that alot of these "new" tgps send more to their trades than to the galleries. Lots of times I come across a tgp and see that it's top 5 trades are each in the tens-of-thousands and think ah-ha, I found a golden goose to submit to, but then start click around it and it seems like 1 out of 4 links goes to a trade. Good for the tgp owner, but lousy for the tgp gallery maker because chances are slim a surfer would find my gallery <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

gotys- is that whole "begging" concept not working out for you? Gee, with 1000 galleries per category, i wonder why the surfer would rather stay at your site than visit your sponsors. Your site is a magnet for every freeloader on the internet. Even people that may have been willing to buy something probably wouldn't be after seeing your site. How can you possibly wonder why your traffic sucks? That's funny! <img border="0" alt="[ROTFLMAO]" title="" src="graemlins/rotflmao.gif" /> <br /><br />donger

But you should do inovations to make money nowdays, not to post galleries only.<br /><br />nasko
