Fuck TGP's! Cut Out This Blood Sucking Middle Man! (better conversions)

Well, free porn is an obvious problem to conversions, but how do you stop something that makes so many small guys nice revenue? Well, listen up and you shall find out the solution to your dilemma.

Rather than allowing this middle man (tgp's) to trade traffic between themselves and make money whilst sending shit traffic to your gallery why don't YOU take the initiative and trade traffic directly between your galleries?

Imagine this... You build a gallery, it has a small toplist up the top (for your trades) and every 3rd image links to a trade (which is another gallery). You than proceed by trading traffic between other like galleries and in as such cut out the need for the middle man.

Of course the idea does represent some small dilemmas. You will not get as many bookmarkers to click around as a TGP does, but it does work. Basically you are ensuring that you can still make a living off of galleries, yet at the same time decrease your conversion rates dramatically.

In reality this an adaptation of the CJ model, however by linking directly to galleries you get high productivity, more sponsors clicks, yet at the same time surfers don't simply get a free ride on a tgp. Decreased conversions, more control over your galleries, and the small guy still remains...
