I suggest getting tgsw and running it from a server. It will run everyday using a cronjob, no hassles, no manual work once you've got everything setup and running automatic. Does everything you would like it to. Each license allows installation on only one server or computer to run once daily. You can add new TGPs yourself. With sitemogul you'll have to run it everyday and upload galleries everyday and cant add new TGPs yourself. I dont know about the third script you mentioned.

k
a friend of mine uses tgsw and he mentioned something about that if you make lets say 10 pic dirs (teen, amateur....etc.) and then dumps alot of pictures into them, then tgsw will use alle the pictures in one directory befor stepping over to the next directory,,,,this way it might submit 20 teen galleries in a row and not different niches each time.......is it just me that have miss understod him ...or ???

Tue, that is incorrect. you can choose what image dir to use for each set of images. Persomally I find it eaiser to have just 1 dir with 1000+ images. it will take 3 months to use em and then start at the beginning again.

TGSW and UCJC were the best software made for webmasters!

setting up tgsw the first time is a living HELL...

but it's worth it ;-)

this script made my whole life better - it makes me money with minimal time spent, allowing me to do other things.

tgsw support is great - if you have any trouble, Robert offers to set it up himself! And its a huuuge timesaver after the first couple of days. The only thing is enabling all the TGPs the first time through will take you maybe 15 hours of very tedious and patient work, but then you'll never have to manually add a recip or fill a form again!

is there any prog I could use to JUST add the recip template code, and get my currently made or future galleries submitted WITHOUT having to put all the pics into a dir, and redesign the page with the pic code, etc...?

in other words...

Open current gallery, delete recips, add recip code, save, click on "make template" upload files, get it submitted

Mag, i might knock something like that up, its definitely in demand from people who _design_ their galleries.

I'll let you know, kinda a little busy at the moment.

TGSW fuckin rules!!! i love it and you are correct,, robert helped me tons i had my gallerys ran on a shitty server and had troubles all the time.. He helped me lots. It does take some time but once done it rules,, until you update then you have to go do sometimes 100 more sites. If rules changed or new ones added. Check it out you will love it

I just finished installing TGSW and I am going through the process of configuring all the TGPs.

It wasn't the easiest script to understand but Robert is very attentive and it is already increasing traffic for me.

I give it 2 thumbs up!

I have used TGSW for nearly a year (both server and desktop versions) and on the whole, it is good software. But there are a couple of shortcomings that are potentially serious, depending on how you do/want to use it.

1. Someone has already mentioned this one. You cannot automatically submit to different niches (from the same domain), except by running one niche until its pics are all used up, then the next one, etc. An extension of this is that you cannot run a single copy of the script automatically, more than once a day, even for those TGP's that allow multiple submissions.

2. When you run the 'automatic' update to import new or changed TGP details, TGSW reverts 'enabled' settings to 'disabled' whenever the default template of a TGP changes. TGSW doesn't tell you it has done this, so you must check the updates every time they are run, else over time you will be making fewer submissions without realizing it.

There is also a disturbingly large number of "big" TGP's (ie top 50 sites per SexTracker) that TGSW doesn't recognize, or for which (like Richard's Realm) it has out-of-date submission. Robert acknowledged my requests for additions and corrections very quickly, but has yet to act on them.

Yes, they can be added manually, but I'm not the only one who bought the software because of the automation it promised. The tedious setup I can live with, it's a one-time thing, but the on-going work it needs is really frustrating.

That said, I haven't tried anything else yet, so I have no idea if anything better is out there. Has anyone tried "Adult Hit Kit"?

I am still compiling a list with tgp's that list me and that are worth the effort. I made a couple of sites with each 3-4 recips on them and named them home.htm, home.html, index.htm, index.html etc..
Whenever I made a gallery I just copy and paste the whole gallery html source code into all of these pages. The recip buttons are in the same folder. That takes only a minute for them all. Then I open a site made by myself with links to the tgp's in the left frame (arranged in the proper groups according to my recip pages), loading the submit pages of the tgp's into the right frame. In the top frame I have the URL, email and other info which I copy and paste into the tgp forms.

That takes 30 minutes for 60-70 tgp's and I try to do only those who bring some reasonable traffic. Also, I'm trying to figure out which one is doing well so I could work more on it while I pull others.

These are two nice links that I got from this board:

http://www.pornsurge.com/webmaster/tgp_resources.html

This here is similar to what I'm doing:

http://www.iwantfreepics.com/tgplist/

This here isn't bad either but I believe that they have put there own tgp's (kostenlos and lickcity) in between although they aren't that big. Could be wrong though

cool rich... cuz honestly... my point is not to be lazy and have sucky templated, ugly looking , basic, filler galleries sent to a gazillion tgps...

but my good, original and clean galleries submitted at the maximum places.... too long to submit everywhere, not worth the time... and I'm not sure it'd be good anyways.... so if you can get me something out, I'll beta test it for you http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif (not good as too many newbies copying, or too much BW for the conversion)

Templated galleries can be as beautiful as any non-templated one. It just depends on how well you design the template.

bust my balls for me to have something for you next weekend Mag.

recip grouping, recip admin page, general settings - how many recips per page, etc.

This will be a basic script, not template driven, all you want is a table at the top of the page with the recips in yea?

Lets make it server-side.

Will probably make galleries such as

/path/to/galleries/group1/galleryname.html
/path/to/galleries/group2/galleryname.html

Thats how i have my galleries setup, cool with you?

magnatique
03-02-2001, 03:19 PM
yep, pretty much...

max of 3 recips per page (I see some allowing max of 4, so to be safe, 3)

name, well I don't care.... as long as it's autosubmitted.... since it'll be for all the tgps I don't normally reach, which then means I don't absolutely care if they list me or not, more of a bonus... since I'll keep on submitting by hand to my normal people http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

server side is fine http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

hit me up on icq if you want to get more details of what's good...
