      Scratch that. iFrames sound like the shittiest idea.

        or
        c) It isn't "real" traffic. (By that I mean it's just circle jerked crap that won't make you any money)

        If you want a consistent long term traffic base then you have to build it slowly. Work on organic search engine listings and give the surfers a good reason to bookmark your site.
        It takes time, patience, and hard work. Anyone who tells you otherwise is no different than those late night infomercial guys who tell you that you can lose 100lbs by taking a pill or make a million dollars just by calling their 1-800 number.

          A static html page or subdirectory would be best.

            So basically, instead of blog posts, I should write pages?

            Right now, my scarce traffic comes from hahahahahahahahahaha and I presume it won't pick me up if I write pages, right?

                  I want to make $100,000 next year, by the end of dec 07.
                  what would you do if you were me?
                  Im open to trying anything and have some money I can invest.

                  I currently make $2k a month from tgp galleries and its not growing, its stalled for a year now.

                  I honestly want to make more money so I can just send it home and help my mom.

                    No you can do blog posts, just set your permalinks up to use the post names as the url....then your post or page named "raven riley" will have a url of domain.com/raven-riley/

                    You can also create pages within wordpress, either way is fine, I just think you're better off linking to yourself than linking to a sponsor's tour for two reasons.
                    1 is the search engine rankings.

                    2 is if the sponsor ever goes out of business etc you don't have to change links on 1000's of pages, you just have to change 1 page.

                        What would you say is the best way for a new webmaster to enter the adult business and reach a goal of making 1k a month in the shortest amount of time? I know it will be tons of work and that is fine I just have a problem of giving up on things if I dont see some sort of return within the first couple of months.

                          I would take the profit you're making from gallery submissions and invest it into paid partner accounts.
                          Use your sponsors campaign tracking feature so you can tell which TGP's are sending sales and which ones aren't. (Some good server stats will help as well)

                          Take the profit from that and use it to buy paid listings on the TGP's that are sending you the most sales on your free listings.

                          Rinse, repeat.

                          No guarantees of 100K of course, but that should help get you out of the muck and growing again.

                            I would build TGP galleries and submit them to every TGP that takes free submissions.

                            I would also build a blog that featured all of my galleries. Every time you build a new gallery write a new blog post about it and link to it.

                            Take the money you make and invest it into paid partner accounts and keep building from there.

                              However, about the linking, if a sponsor disappears, I just have to look up at the posts of their girls and change the links. It will probably be three or four pages per sponsor, so it's not that much. Am I correct?

                                how long do you think this would take to see some sort of income if you used this method?

                                I was thinking of purchasing autogallery and setting up a tgp so that I could put my own galleries on there when I built them. Would this be a bad idea?

                                  i started doing that. I bought an expensive package from GTS. its only been a few days but the results are bad, no sales from it. But i have another 3+ weeks to go so hopefully it will get better.

                                  thanks

                                    Depends on how many sites you build over all the time that you're in this business.

                                    Either way you get search engine benefits from linking to your own page.

                                      It's been a long time since I've submitted galleries but I'd say you should start seeing some traffic and hopefully sales within a few weeks.

                                      As for the TGP thing, unless you're going to build a full blown TGP I'd probably stick with the blog format as the "hub" for listing all of my galleries.

                                          I'm not exactly a newbie but I will bite.

                                          What would you recommend someone just starting in this business do to make money?

                                          What is your best traffic source? What is your biggest money maker?
                                          I'm just a newbie.

                                            As for the TGP thing, unless you're going to build a full blown TGP I'd probably stick with the blog format as the "hub" for listing all of my galleries.
                                            Do you think the full blown tgp thing is a good route for a newb to take?

                                                thanks
                                                Ok, that happens.
                                                However I listed a very specific order in which to do things and that order is very important.

                                                Alot of people get in this biz and just up and buy traffic from GTS or choker or whomever and then they fail and quit.

                                                I said to submit, then buy paid partner accounts.
                                                THEN, buy paid listings from the TGP's that are sending the most sales to your free listings.

                                                That way, you already have proven templates and proven sponsors that are selling for you on those TGP's. Then you're just paying to get listed at the top of that TGP instead of towards the bottom.

                                                When you buy traffic blind (unproven templates, unproven sponsors, TGP's that you've never been listed at before) then you really have no idea what your results are going to be.

                                                    No. TGP's take a long time to build up into money makers, I would do other things first and once you're making money, if you decide you want a TGP, start one on the side.

                                                    No refcode for webair. Just call 866-WEBAIR1 and ask for sales, they'll hook you up.

                                                      You might want to beef up the advertising a little bit once the traffic is flowing, but if you do it right every single post on the blog should be an advertisement, so you'll have all the advertising you need there.

                                                          Ok that's 3 questions.

                                                          1) I'd start with gallery submissions and a blog. Use the galleries you build as content for your blog. Then you can get traffic from all of the blog linklists and update services to your galleries and traffic from your galleries to your blog where you'll have other advertising besides just the sponsor on the gallery.

                                                          2) Not telling

                                                          3) Not telling
