Thinking of making a new TGP site, but I'm looking for some feedback.

Hi all,

I'm a web designer/developer by trade, and I've been giving a lot of thought to making a niche link TGP site. My approach is to develop a meaningful site (with good content, and really build traffic) before even thinking about going the route of monetizing. I've been doing a lot of research, but I have several questions for everyone. Hopefully someone can give me some thoughts.

First, the age old question: how to develop strong/repeat traffic. So, working on obtaining traffic trades is a big one but how does one do traffic trades if the site does you own doesn't yet have traffic? So, the next thought is to buy hard links and/or feeder traffic... but do this traffic actually do anything?

Any thoughts/suggestions on this would be VERY helpful. I've reviewed a few FAQs and tips, but essentially they all say what I've written above.

Second, let's taking hosting. I know there are several out there that are trustworthy, and the ones that really keeps coming up over and over is Hostgator. Seeing that this is just a TGP that does not host any content, this seems to be an ok host. Does anyone have suggestions on a reliable host that will take TGP sites?

Third, how can I get people submitting links to the site? Yes, one can do it via the site but how does a TGP get added/listed into TGP submission software? Does anyone have any additional ideas on how to get others to submit links to the site?

Fouth, let's talk monetization for a moment... the larger amount of traffic a site has, obviously, the more likely the site is able to pull in money. That said... how much traffic per month is needed to actually pull in good cash? And, what does that traffic really translate into. I guess asked differently, how much can a quality TGP site expect to make a month? $10? $100? $1000?

Thank you all, I look forward to being a part of the community here!
