    No More TGP's

    What would happen if tgp's and free sites were outlawed today.

    My bet is we would all make a shitload more money.

    I get so sick of trying to sell shit, when there is so much free porn everywhere.

    It would be like trying to sell cars when every car dealer is giving out 10 day test drives.

    no more tgps. no more gallery makers, no more advertising money ( thehun/sleazydream ect and anyone else selling traffic/banner spots ), less design work for designers. less traffic ?

    Maybe less tgps.

      All the smart and big TGPers would still make your life rough, and you'd still be playing the victum as you do now, we would evolve into other aspects of the biz, and still be above you taking your money and making it hard on you as you seem to be expressing now..

      ITs not TGPs that are holding you back from making $$...

      Its you...

                  I never said I wasn't making money. I'm doing very well, thank you for worrying tho.

                  I'm just trying to point out how stupid it is to be giving more and more away. The movies are getting longer, and the galleries getting more hardcore.

                  Go into any bakery and get a sample of the cake, you get one bite not the whole fucking cake and the pie next to it.

                  I'm just trying to point out how fucking stupid it is to be giving so much shit away.

                  Go ahead and slam me for saying what you all know to be true.
                  Think about it from the tgp owners mind, and I am one.
                  If the traffic was so fucking valuable, why would they be selling banners and spots. Wouldn't you keep it for yourself and make coin.

                  It's all coming to an end, and no one sees it.

                    No. Some people are good at converting galleries. Some people are good at selling spots. The market is not as simple as you seem to believe.

                      boneprone is now my favorite person for the day.

                      spanky, your focus is too narrow. back in the day before TGP's there were less people making more money, now it's kill or be killed. If TGP's were outlawed, it would all go back to the newsgroups. If you think converting TGP traffic is hard, try converting newsgroups. You'll see your entire site free to download and not be able to do a single thing about it but sit there and wish there were a safer more effective way to market to the masses, that would pull them away from news groups.

                          its having an idea that sells.

                          traffic will come. brainstorm. lying in bed and you think of that idea.

                          mainstream traffic is much easier to come by, and worth more.

                            If TGPs and free sites suddenly disappeared tomorrow there would be an explosion of P2P software and people learning how to use usenet binary downloaders

                              You guys are taking every thing way to literally.

                              Then again I am trying to talk biz at GFY.

                              My point is, that less is more. Less hardcore = more$$$

                              Getting rid of tgps is a ridiculous thing to say, and will never happen.

                              When are people gonna realize that free porn is like a loss leader in a store. They advertise some piece of shit that alot of people will want for less than cost, because they know that they will buy more shit when they are there.

                              Business 101 people. Upsell, tease but don't please.

                                            TGP traffic blows because it is exactly whats in the members area. You can find every set for any site for free by browsing TGPs. Why pay for what you can get for free?

                                            I think this post is kind of off topic, but I think it should be said in any TGP related thread.

                                              My bet is we would all make a shitload more money.

                                              I get so sick of trying to sell shit, when there is so much free porn everywhere.

                                              It would be like trying to sell cars when every car dealer is giving out 10 day test drives.
                                              what would happen if car dealers and test drives were outlawed today?

                                                There's no money in porn anymore, especially not in TGP traffic

                                                It's funny to see how clueless some of you are If you only knew how much you can make with TGP's...

                                                  TGPs are fine but their requirements really suck. Surfers are getting 3 MB movies now

                                                      guess what? ones who are on dialup still prefer pics and ones on broadband won't get enough from a 10 sec movie.

                                                          Like i said talking business on GFY with the high school dropouts, is sometimes funny.

                                                            Let me ask one thing though.

                                                            Why can I download and listen to 100,000s of mp3 music samples on Amazon.com and they keep adding more and more, and in bumped up quality? Surely they're idiots, too.

                                                              In 2000 I made $50k that year from one set of softcore pics with an AVS (SexKey) and only got $10/sale. The same type of pics can be seen for free on any TGP a million times over. I adapt of course but it still brings a tear to my eye.

                                                                    Then again I am trying to talk biz at GFY.

                                                                    My point is, that less is more. Less hardcore = more$$$

                                                                    Getting rid of tgps is a ridiculous thing to say, and will never happen.

                                                                    When are people gonna realize that free porn is like a loss leader in a store. They advertise some piece of shit that alot of people will want for less than cost, because they know that they will buy more shit when they are there.

                                                                    Business 101 people. Upsell, tease but don't please.

Ive had enought of whiny bitches complianing tgp is the devil well if tgp is the devil dont fucking play there.

Some of you guys posting in this thread have alot of traffic on your sites, but do you honestly think that any of you are using the ultimate business model for making use of TGP traffic? That there can be no better way of marketing than you are doing now? That you have no need to adapt or evolve to the fact that there's so much free hardcore available that only 1:25k to 1:50k vitiors to a gallery are likely to buy something?

                                                                        This business model is like that of a vendor who only sells one beverage at a football stadium filled with 50,000 people and decides to start selling at more stadiums to increase revenue instead of figuring out why they're not selling more where they're at.

                                                                        Sales on my TGP nearly quadrupled after removing the hardcore and making no other significant changes. My site still trades with sites that have tons of hardcore galleries. I just quit giving away what I'm trying to sell on my site. I post softcore instead of hardcore and the sales ratios improve. I give out less free pictures on a gallery and the sales ratios improve. Is it really that hard to understand why that is?

Learn how to Tweake your TGP and you'll make nice $$, and i don't want to know how many Paysites would have Problems to get the Surfers without the TGP's. In the old days 96,97 and so there where the Hun (TGP ) Persian Kitty and a few TGP's Link collections which where known. Today there are thousends of Sites which do help drive Surfers to paysites even new ones and small ones so many more Ppl. do make $$ today then 10 Years ago. So live with that and adopt your marketing to it and all is fine.
