Gallery Submissions?

tgpstats.com

It's practically impossible to get listed at the big ones without paying, the only people that do get listed are the ones the owners know and trust.

You'd be better off finding as many niche related TGP's as you can find, and only submitt galleries related to that niche to them, and then you should use the profit from that to pay for your listings at the big ones, and also do TGP2

Some have limited categories to post to. Look around on their submit pages, if for e.g you don't see a 'anime' category, don't bother..

That's not true. But if it is, then I'm a lucky bastard

That's pretty much true. But I've heard from some major TGP owners that they often won't post the galleries of newbies, but that if a certain person posts quality galleries for a few weeks (even though they get declined) that the owner will go back and check old galleries to see if they are still up. If they are, and they're not blind linking, redirecting, etc. they will start accepting a few submissions from that person and eventually they will BECOME one of the ones the owner knows a trusts. Persistence is key. You just have to make sure you're 100% conforming to the rules so the TGP owners get to know your galleries and get to know that you're not a cheater. As long as they're declining your galleries for lack of trust rather than breaking the rules, you'll eventually start getting listed.

And I HEARTILY agree with the TGP2 thing. TGP2 gets me more sales off 10k hits to my galleries than TGP gets me off 300,000 hits to my galleries! In fact, I may be starting my own TGP2 soon if I can get things together.

That's probably true. Personally I stick to TGP2, it converts much much better, and the bandwith is lower, and theu don't make you feel like getting fucked for giving something away
