I posted the following on AWI. I would be interested in hearing your comments. I am a firm believer that our business follows the same age old model that others do. I don't believe in the Harvard Business School BullShit.

Posted on AWI:

TGP2 is a great idea.

I build galleries. TPG2 will lower my bandwidth bill by 50% minimum. That is about a thouand dollars that I don't have to pay to the ISP.

I intend to setup a TGP2 site. I will demand high quality photography, which includes cropping, color blance, and other factors. I will also allow free host but they will be judged by the same standards as the galleries. I will not hesitate to ban a free host if their additions to the galleries do not meet tgp2 rules.

This idea will catch on if the webmasters provide tgp2 sites and the gallery makers realize what an opportunity this is to reduce their overhead.

As for sponsors, they live or die off of the traffic we send them. Every business lives by three basic factors: traffic; holding the interest of the customer, and closing the sale.

Some sponsors are nothing more than circle jerks, no offense to those that run clean sales programs, that finally convince the customer to buy. As webmaster, we should examine how the surfer is handled after we send him to a sponsor. We should expect the same high standards from sponsors as we expect of our selves and the ppl building galleries. If they will not then start banning galleries that use them. A 10% drop in signup will cause them to change their ways. (new addition, we will be sending high quality traffic, do you really think they will turn it away)

Finally TGP2 can refuse to trade with TGP, just as most CJ2 sites do not trade with CJ sites.

It will be interesting to watch what happens.

End of AWI post.

I do not believe that sponsors run this business. I see numerous post by ppl wanting to know what is converting. IMHO, we control the business by constantly searching for the best converting sponsor. When word gets around everyone jumps on the bandwagon and the other sponsors go wanting. Those that are not converting start rebuild their sites.
