So for a few weeks now I've been thinking on and off about making a tgp indexing site. Similar to thehun and worldsex but a bit more web 2.0.
My idea is the following:
You have a new TGP (or an old one that hasn't been submitted yet) and you'd like to promote it so you submit it to some popular indexing sites (like the aforementioned ones) -- this is not a new concept.
You create an account and submit your url(s) for scraping. No URL more than once and not more than one per day.
My back-end scrapes the site, pulls out all images and videos, creates thumbnails of the images and keeps track of video's presence.
You're presented with a page where you check off 5 images that you want to be showcased from your TGP (they will be cached locally as thumbnails) and change the title/description if you wish (it will be automatically taken from the page scrape).
You then submit your tgp request, I check whether you're a first-time submitter or whether you're established and the need for moderation is decided.
Then it shows up on the front page (if it was submitted that day, of course). Users can see what is new that day on the index page and 2 weeks are left in cache. They see how many images there are, as well as its popularity and whether or not it has videos etc.
The interesting part for you (i'm sure) will be the stats module where you can log in and see (for each of your submitted tgp's) how many clicks were sent through, what people thought of it (internal rating system), and any comments made on it by various users -- things such as which image was the most popular etc can be produced also.
I think it could offer a great service to both the adult webmaster community AND the general public. The concept is being proven right now by millions of uniques per day (on the hun and worldsex) and I think people would appreciate a service that offers them more than just revolving text links.
Some of the code is already done, the scrape engine and database is in place already, the rest will be done in time. When the site is ready and polished it will be opened for submissions and web traffic.
I'm also looking for a domain, so if anybody has a good one and they're selling, let me know.
I want feedback from you guys also as you would account for a lot of the contribution and I'm sure there are some great ideas and maybe some shortcomings I may have missed!
