Tgp2 convert at about 30 time better on less traffic. This was just proven by a will know webmaster on another board. I won't name the board here out of respect for Lensman.
It was a month or month and a half project and compared tgp to tgp2. When the testing was done everything was totaled and compared it was found that tgp2 converts at about a rate of 30 times. Of course you mileage will very just like anything else.
The webmasters that ran this project is very good at targeting traffic so that had to help too.
The nice things about tgp2 are it burns less bandwidth, uses less content. The added plus is the galleries load really fast. The full sized pictures can be on HTML pages and your can make them clickable to a sponsor.
On the rules:
Tgp2 rule are standardize between all real tgp2 sites. This is something that everyone said would never happen, but it did.
The rules are automatically update on most tgp2 sites using a small java script tag. This will display the tgp2 rules on the sites and keep them up to date also.
You can view the rule here and the script code is also on there.
The rules are not the same rules of a year ago. They were set rock solid about 4 or 5 months ago and haven't change except for adding the rules on movies.
Heres a key point that everyone needs to know if they are doing tgp2. Tgp2 only accepts 5 clickable thumbs, no more or no less.
Non clickable thumbs are not allowed.
With in the last month there have been a good number sponsors starting to provide hosted tgp2 galleries and downloadable galleries plus other perks. I know of another 3 or 4 right off the bat that will be doing the same soon.
Add those to the sponsors that have supported tgp2 sence the start, that a good many sponsors.
Is tgp2 worth it? You bet your ass it is.
In all fareness to tgp's, I understand exactly why they do things the way they do and I can't blame them one bit. If you have a gravy train coming in why the hell would you want to risk it?
Anyway this is how tgp2 stands today.
Sorry for the long post.
Now go make some money!
