Gallery auto-submission?

[quotealex]

Which one should a purchase (PC version)?:
- LinkupPro
- TGWS
- AHK
- other

[Backov]

TGSW of course. ;> And then go to tgswupdates.com and get the db.

definately tgsw would it only be for the top notch support http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif (and tgsw updates.com too)

Alex, I've heard rave reviews for adulthitkit.com, and linkuppro is a similar product i think.

TGSW is outdated, and does not reflect what you need to make money from tgps.

sure, if worked well it will make money, but as tgps become harder and harder to work, you need to hand design the galleries... not have tgsw make some shitty table.

AHK will spam a gallery url that you hand designed, make up all the recips etc and mirror the page 100 times, that is what you need an autosubmittor to do.

[SABAI]

for your information:
TGSW lets you hand design your galleries as you wish you can change the design everyday if you want to...just play with your templates and upload them...you can have as many templates as you want....TGSW makes the pages and then uploads the pages and the pics to any server you tell him to...
you have 3 different versions of tgsw just choose the one which fits your needs...if you don't want to mess with cgi there is even a desktop version....and no...tgsw is not updated...i would even say its up to date
and if you are lazy enabling the tgp's and collecting the recip images you can subscribe to the excellent "tgswupdates"....
Robert is always prompt to help wether to make cron jobs if you can't be near a computer for some time or to make remote sccripts to use with non ftp free hosts (for your galleries)....i can't think of a better proggie....and when you see the price (over priced)of other traffic generating scripts like cj scripts or tgp scripts i think that 179.95 is totally worth investing...

just my thoughts..

Thanks guys. TGWS sounds like not only will I have to buy the software, but I will also have to pay a fee for tgswupdates.com database. I'm just looking for something that includes the database and allows me to duplicate 100s of time my handcoded gallery and auto-submit them to TGPS. I'd like something window based and not server based.

[Backov]

TGSW has a desktop version. You basically said that you don't wanna do any work - just consider the TGSW db as part of the price. That makes it 189$ - OOh, scary price! ;&gt; (I am assuming the server standard version and the tgswupdates db, which is what I have).


To address Richard and your concerns - TGSW will let you hand code the gallery however you want.. It's a strictly shit in-shit out system.

And finally, if you go with any other gallery submission tool, you'll never get anywhere near the traffic TGSW will bring ya.

Cheers,

As others have said, TGSW is excellent and using your own galleries is absolutely not a problem. Think you have been told there is a desktop version too.

Think about the updates before you dismiss them. Before the updater came along, I used to spend quite a bit of time every week just to keep a list of around 60 TGPs up to date regarding their rules, categories, buttons etc. Now, for $100 a year (actually I joined when it was only $50) someone else takes care of the updates of 100's of TGPs for me. It would be cheap at twice the price...

[richard]

I'm pretty sure TGSW can not add the recips to my design, create 100 mirrored pages, then send to 500 tgps.

I'm not talking different layouts, i'm talking about each gallery i build having a unique combination of cropped thumbs, etc.

And i'm pretty sure adulthitkit can.

[SABAI]

Richard, you have a lot of posts on this board, tho it would mean you are active in the bizness...i'm astonished that your comments about tgsw are sounding like a total newbie comment...tgsw can make mirrors of all your pages ,place the recips and submit the pages to the right tgps...what do you mean by "different combination of cropped thumb"?...you can have different thumbs everyday, and if you are smart enough you can even have a different ammount of thumbs everyday also.(but you will need to change the num of thumbs in your descriptions before submitting) if you have , say..600 tgps enabled in your db then tgsw will make around 200 different pages with and without recips...you cannot beat tgsw...
Wad, you were tired of being known as popeye the board spammer? http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif anyway your post is not a spam as it fits totally in the subject...but one thing i have to ask you...
if you are in charge of russian submitter..please do something about the categories...i'm tired of getting spammed with non asian galleries on my asian only tgp

also if someone from "TGswupdates.com" reads this...please be very cautious about the categories enabled...i always get,galleries with caucasian and ebony pics on my tgp (adult-web-master.com) i contacted one of the submitters who checked his db and found out that many categories were enabled exept the asian one, once again my tgp is ASIAN ONLY...i asked the guy to write you but well...i tell you here also

2SABAI: There is no problem to fix DB and our submitter will send to you only asian galleries. I'm sorry about making that mistake. Just remind me you tgp name, it will be fixed immediately.

My opinion - tgsw is very good product but it need a hard custmization to work properly. With not so low price for submitter and updates.
I think if user paid for submitter it means he paid for becoming his life easier.
My submitter easy in use, we do all updates for free and it has lowest price with same effectiveness like tgsw.
P.S. popeye is one of my workers.

http://www.adultwebmasterinfo.com/smilies/laugh.gif YOU, call ME a newbie http://www.adultwebmasterinfo.com/smilies/laugh.gif

what do you mean by "different combination of cropped thumb"?... Newb comment.

TGSW Creates your pages, based on the thumbnails in the directories you assign it.

IT DOES NOT SUBMIT HAND DESIGNED GALLERIES.

HAND DESIGNED GALLERIES CONVERT BETTER THAN TEMPLATE GALLERIES.

In my opinion, to make good money from TGPs, you need to employ your marketing skills to the max.

I'm sure you've heard the phrase "he could sell ice to an Eskimo", this is no different, you are trying to sell porn to a surfer who is getting free porn.

TGSW can make you money, its something you setup, throw a ton of content at, and leave. Hand designed galleries will make you more buck for your gig of bandwidth.

Hypo, yes you are right, my mistake - AHK charges $70 each time you want the list updated.

[Hypo]

You can submit totally handmade galleries using tgsw if you can go through some tediousness. Just upload the 15 or so images and thumbnails you want, named numerically in order (like lesbians01 lesbians02 etc.) and replace image names in the gallery html with IMAGE1 IMAGE2 etc. and upload it as the template. Write your cutom description, then submit away. Would take 15 minutes more max.

[richard]

tgsw if you can go through some tediousness

Which is what these programs are bought to avoid http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

Bottom line is, TGSW does not do this - it is not one of it's features.

I got tgsw for about 2 months but didn't touch it yet because I had no time.. what exactly this tgswupdates does ??

[Cyberzen]

I think TGSW would be a much better product if you could specify multiple templates, then each time it generates it chooses a random template and then generates the pages.

What do you guys think?

[Ludedude]

Richard: Which software are you using (if any)? I've been using linkup for a while now, and of course it has it's own set of quirks that need to be overcome. I don't believe for a minute that there is any buy and forget software to do autosubmission but I'm more than happy to have something build the mirror pages and then submit them for me while I build more sites etc. That's what linkup has been doing for me and overall, I'm pretty happy with it.

They keep threatening a new version along with a database update, but I haven't seen it yet. I'm running an interim beta version of the code and it's better than the last official release, but I'm hoping for some enhancements and additional code fixes in the next production release.

[richard]

Ludedude, i have TGSW, though i never used it - i could/can not see the point in making templated galleries and just banging them out to tgps. (then it did not have the "in order" feature, so it was random pics).

I've had feedback on AHK, pretty much all good stuff. LUP and AHK keep threatening some sort of contest over on netpond, but other than that i've not looked into them.

I've been spending my time working around the problem, and creating a completely new twist to the tgp game, http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

Rich.

[Ludedude]

Richard, well innovation is the life-blood of business, so keep at it!

I've read about the pending "showdown" between AHK and LUP on Netpond, but it's all just smoke and mirrors so far.

I have a rather large list of TGP's that my partner assembled but it takes several hours to go through it by hand, depending on how many pages don't load properly etc. I did it by hand for quite some time, using form filling tools etc., but really find the time savings from LUP to be worthwhile. I hand design the gallery, add the thumbs etc. and the let LUP make recip tables and pages and do the submission. Bottom line, I'm still making money so it's working for me and that's the goal here isn't it?

Oh no...wait that's all wrong. The goal is to give away as much free porn to surfers as possible and not earn any money, at least thats the way some TGP rules want it to be.

[RockDaddy]

Just for the record,

TGSW will work with your hand made custom galleries. Just copy the html and insert it into the template file. The only thing it does is replace the {{THUMB}} with the thumb and the {{IMAGE}} with the full size pic and adds the recips where ever you place the {{RECIP}} tag.

Never place all of your thumbs in the images directory because it will use all of them before going to your next category. Make subdirectories and keep all of your pics in there and just pick out 15-20 pics(however many you use on your galleries) and place them in the image directory. Delete all of your cdata files and history.txt files in your TGSW folder. It will then rebuild the database for available images and "find" and use the ones you just added. Place all of your thumbs in the temp-thumbs folder and make sure your options are set NOT to make thumbnails so it uses yours and not the crappy ones that TGSW generates. Under options select upload, html, thumbs and full size pics and then execute. It will upload everything and you can verify your pages look good. Go back under options and select upload html only (or it will overwrite your thumbs with crappy ones) and execute again.

If you are using your own server and want to use htaccess to protect your full size pics. Just upload them by hand and change the {{IMAGE}} tags to the full path to where you will keep your pics instead of directly in your galleries directory. Like http://www.yourdomain.com/full/{{IMAGE))

I also run a seperate database/recip.txt file which is configured to do link sites also but you have to manually add them which takes time but is well worth it.

Doing it the way above, you could then go into your tgsw folder and delete the cdata.txt files and the history.txt file, remove the pics from the images directory you just used, select 15 more pics in a different category and place them in the corresponding imgage directory and repeat the process as many times as you like.

Sorry for the extra long post, but if it helps someone then I guess it was worth it. TGSW has a learning curve as most things do, but it is very versatile when you learn the tricks. If you are running TGSW on your desktop you can even have TGSW running as many times as your memory/processor can handle. As soon as it starts submitting, you can go ahead and start deleting the .txt files and run it again.

I would advise disabling the large tgp's that only accept one gallery a day and do those by hand still to avoid being blacklisted or keep a backup class.txt file with those disabled, then it is just a matter of copying and pasting.

Later,
RD

Richard,
pardon my french, as i don't understand all your technical words...(what means cropped ?)
oh i oppened a dictionary cropped means resized oh! i thought thumnail would define a resized image already ;)

anyway rockdaddy said it all and well...if you own TGSW and don't use it its a real waste...you should give your license to a needy webmaster :)

the good part with TGSW is that its totally configurable, its always updated (the script itself) and most important ,the support is the best i've ever seen...i think you can propose any feature to robert and if he can do it, he will...

Rockdaddy, hit me up on icq 7525191 i'd like to ask you some...

yea, i'm only messing.

Richard,

I cant believe you're saying all this without having ever used tgsw, AHK or LUP. What's your point? You may be right, but there's a bigger chance you're just misguiding people.

[ceev]

So what do software do you reccomend for hand done galleries but just need to autosubmit too and will automatically add the recips to the hand done gallry.

I saw the TGSW thing and how you could paste the code in but is there a simpler submitter?

Keev: Look up a bit for the URL to linkup and maybe that will help you out. It's a different animal from TGSW altogether but performs the same functions.

Richard: Know what you mean about the hosting. My partner and I have a dedicated box at a real hosting company too LOL. We have a great price per GB that we got by negotiating with the host. Rule number one: EVERYTHING is negotiable, even published bandwidth rates http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

Well. It seems that most of you are using TGSW and it's the server version you're using. From what I read so far on this thread, you need to do alot of fancy dancing around it to get it to auto-sumbit hand designed galleries. As anyone tried all three or more submitters? Or is TGSW the Window of the submitters? i.e. everybody uses it because all the other people has it.

[richard]

Ludedude, i'll make damn sure everyone hears about the project when its up http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif

I'm pretty confident you dont go lower than $1/gig, PER GIG, (capped lines never get used to the max - every day traffic fluctuates, and with gallery traffic, you may get a hun listing one day, and not the next, etc - so capped sucks http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif). At any rate, _we_ dont go lower than that http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/wink.gif - hosting is a spin off deal we have lined up.

So what do software do you reccomend for hand done galleries but just need to autosubmit too and will automatically add the recips to the hand done gallry.

I've had good, reliable feedback for AHK for this. If i had to go an buy one, I would buy AHK.

Hypo, i appreciate your comments, but in my personal opinion, based upon examination of published features, and feedback that i have revcieved from users of TGSW/AHK, i personally believe that AHK/LUP are the way to go, not TGSW.

If i were to put my money on the line, i'd buy AHK.

But, i'd buy neither at the moment http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/biggrin.gif

Can't see how it could be much less work. I design a gallery with real thumbs and recips, so I can be sure what it will look like. After that, it takes no more than a couple of minutes to paste over the URLs with ones TGSW will recognize.

That done, it all runs by itself until I want a new design (and I can have several designs for different days/categories, if I want)

Here I'm part guilty, though when I started using TGSW (2+ years back) it was the only one. No complaints so far, I'm used to it, and with the updater service available now, I don't have a reason to change.

[Ludedude]

Richard: No, it's not less than $1 per GB.
It's also not capped or burstable or 95th percentile crap either. We have a 100 MBPS line into the machine, with metered bandwidth period. Obviously, the hosting company has several major trunks etc., and I'm not saying that I can pull the whole 100 MBPS, but it's a switched segment and we never get bogged down if we're having a really good traffic day http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

[vince]

I just want to straighten a few things out.

I have used AHK and I saw no results, these other submitters listed here I have not personally used them so I really can't give my opinion on them, but TGSW is a traffic machine there is no doubt about that, and after all isn't that what we strive for, Traffic! When I see people saying that TGSW can't do this and it can't do that, and that it is outdated, this baffles me!

TGSW will create any galleries you like, with small thumbs, large thumbs, and even with "cropped thumbs" and it is not tedious at all.

What TGSW Will do: TGSW will create a couple hundred templates, with Recips and post them to 700+ working tgps(if you use TGSWUpdates http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif) every single day for as long as you have images in the folders.

Now I have seen a few posts saying TGSW will not allow custom .html templates or "IT DOES NOT SUBMIT HAND DESIGNED GALLERIES" I don't know who's been spreading these rumors because it is just not true. If you want fancy cropped thumbs(I also use them) you just upload your cropped thumbs into a folder, and that's it! what is so hard about that?

I can use TGSW to post movies to MGPs, now if that isn't customizing I don't know what is. Will these other programs post to MGPs?

As far as outdated is concerned, robert is always updating the software, adding new features all the time, he just released a new versions of the server version with fixes and additions to make the program better. Now he will go back and start working on a better version.

These other programs that offer free updates, I assume they are using scripts or programs to check and update forms from tgps etc to save them the huge task of visiting each tgp for changes.

I have been through the TGSW database from scratch many many times and I can tell you it is a very large job to keep tgps up to date and the database running smoothly, it is a full time job. You cannot do this for free! you want professional people doing this, who are reliable, so you won't have to worry about getting blacklisted or pissing off TGPs, would you take that risk?

TGSWUpdates is a group of professional webmasters who actually know how to make money using TGP traffic, they don't use scripts or programs to update the database, if they see a problem they go to the site to check and see if any changes have been made then correct them, all done manually. How is a script going to tell you if a TGP has gone Circle Jerk site, but the rules page and submit form are still there taking submissions? these things need to be done manually, and at TGSWUpdates this is how it is done.

Probably the most important thing is not how many tgps your autosubmitter will post to, or mine is more automated than yours mentality, but how many tgps your galleries actually get listed on, and how much traffic you receive.

So in conclusion if you would like a submitter that is proven to generate traffic, coupled with TGSWUpdates, I really don't see how any other software can compete, with reliabily, support or results.

If you need to know more about what tgsw can and will do, goto www.tgswupdates.com (http://www.tgswupdates.com) there is a dedicated tgsw board there.

Oh Yeah and Sabai, this is not a TGSWUpdates problem, our Master database is setup correctly, it is all the other webmasters not using TGSWUpdates that have your TGP not setup correctly http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif

tgsw can make gallerys the same as hand made gallerys and can use croped imgages have width and height tags on the pics it will use images in order so you your images must be named in the order you want them come up if you have 15 croped thumbs the one you want used first could be image1 the last image15
you could have height and width tags on the pics so the only difrence between makeing the gallery by hand and the tgsw template
is templates link to the tgsw code till tgsw
makes the gallerys then the gallery could be
the same as if it was hand made crops and all
if you want to do spend the time to crop the thumbs

[Abbadon]

Well, for whatever it's worth, I've used TGSW for nearly a year, and have several licenses for it.

I've also used AHK Pro for about six weeks.

For my purposes, AHK Pro wins hands down. TGSW takes a lot of work and planning to set up right to begin with. I was submitting galleries with AHK Pro within 15 minutes of installing it.

I do a lot of galleries that while they may follow a general template are hand tweaked here or there. It's a pain in the ass to do that with TGSW. I also spend a hell of a lot of time cropping my thumbs, sharpening them, and arranging them for proper affect. That's also a bitch to do with TGSW (and I'm sorry, fucking impossible to do with TGSW Desktop -- I've NEVER been able to make it submit MY thumbs instead of it's own self-generated ones, despite exchanging a lot of e-mail on the topic with Robert).

Last but not least, I feel that your last shot at targetting your traffic is giving the gallery a good description for the sites that will use your description. Also a pain in the ass to do with TGSW.

Note that I did NOT say that any of this was impossible with TGSW (other than the thumbs on the desktop version, which may be fixed finally, I dunno). Just that it's a pain in the ass. The more you change your templates, the more unique you try to make each gallery, the more of a pain in the ass it is.

All of those things are very, very simple with AHK Pro. For $70 a month, I don't have to worry about the database being updated, or going in and re-setting up the updated posts, either.

As far as traffic goes, your mileage may vary with how you build galleries, and what niches you submit. I average about 120K - 140K hits a day on galleries I submit through AHK Pro. I got similar results with TGSW.

TGSW is a fine product as long as how it works is how you work. The more you want to do things differently than the way it wants to do them, the more time you'll spend fighting it. If it does the trick for your needs, then go with it.

I consider the money I spent on AHK Pro to be one of the better deals I've ever got; I made it back quite quickly. I also consider the money I spent on TGSW (and the database product) to have been well worthwhile too at that point. At the moment, tho, AHK Pro is far better suited to my needs.

When LinkUpPro gets sorted out, I'll probably buy a copy of it too, and see what I can do with it.

My $0.02 US.

I've got no financial relationship with either product, other than as a customer.

- Chuck

[Ludedude]

$.02 huh? Guess I'll kick in here.

I've been a supporter of Linkuppro for a while, even using it before it was quite ready for primetime. Guess what? 2 updates
later and it's still not ready.

Oh, the code is getting better, but they managed to completely mangle the database update to a point where it took me nearly four hours last nite to undo the damage they did. Good thing I didn't just hit submit like I usually do, or I would have been fucked. I took the time to inspect all the pages made and found fully half of them to be defective. If anyone had submitted that garbage, they're probably banned this morning.

A formerly happy Linkuppro customer.

[RockDaddy]

Since this subject was brought back up..

If you will go back on the first page and read my post, I tell you how to make desktop tgsw use YOUR thumbs instead of the ones it makes. So far as "tweaking" your gallery. The templates are saved as html files, all you have to do is open them up with your html editor and save the changes. It doesn't get any easier than that. I have templates named for every sponsor and day of the week so it takes just seconds to rename a file to be used that day.

Oh well, It's not like I'm making any cash trying to build the positive side of TGSW so http://bbs.adultwebmasterinfo.com/ubb/smile.gif use whatever works best for you. It's all about what you are used to using.

...and if you'll go back to the top of this page and read my post, you'll see that I spent a lot of quality time with TGSW. Yes, I knew about the tempthumbs trick. Regardless, it involves dinking around with the thing each and every time it's used. And yes, it does get easier than that.

1) Make all of my galleries. Dink with the HTML and thumbs on each one as I please. I build galleries 20 - 50 at a time.
2) Upload them to my server.
3) Tell AHK Pro the url of the gallery I want to submit.
4) Browse for a copy of the original HTML.
5) Scroll down to where I want the recips inserted. Click "insert recips"
6) Give it a description of the page.
7) Make up a unique root name of the file.
8) Wait 10 seconds for it to build all of the mirror copies.
9) Upload 'em (I wish they'd automate this step).
10) Hit "post"
11) Wait 5 - 7 minutes for it to post to 750 or so TGPs.

Net process time about 10 minutes per gallery I want to submit, including submission time (if you're on a slow connection, this is going to go up somewhat).

Lather, Rinse, Repeat.

What it won't do that TGSW will do is automate the whole thing so you can run it with cron and ignore it.

But (with the exception of having to FTP the mirror pages) the amount of dinking around outside the program with setting up the galleries, etc. after you've designed them is nil.

Granted, you can get the same effect with TGSW. Been there, done that. Used to spend about 90 minutes a night doing it. Now I spend ten minutes a night doing this. For that matter, you can get the same effect hand submitting. Been there, done that too.

It's all good. Whatever you like.

Just felt like jumping in here because nobody who actually had time in on both products appeared to have much to say. Since neither AHK or TGSW is paying me to be their boardbitch, I guess I'll stop here.
