At the end of the day you can look at EVERY traffic source and say it has gone to shit. Conversions are worse, traffic is harder to get and keep, and getting huge bulk joins is out the door. Then again you have webmasters with the same traffic source saying they are doing record sales, conversions and things just keep getting more interesting rather than harder.
Hosted Galleries: While hosted galleries do make some webmasters a good amount of money they are not ment to make you rich or really even count for serious money. They should be used for extra income. If you rely on them for all of your money then you have no clue what the hell they are for. Paysites use them for our own purpose, which is to get name exposure first off and hopefully joins to pay for the gallery and to make them USE more bandwidth so they can drive the cost of BW down for them. As long as the galleries make just enough to pay for the BW they use then overall the company is saving money because of the lower BW cost. Some companies really try to build galleries that will make a net profit, which isn?t many.
Real Galleries: If you know how to build them then doing 10-30+ sign-ups a day isn?t anything to you. It?s a trick to each niche, each TGP, and a style that makes these guys power house the sales.
We have about 10 major TGP GALLERY webmasters in our program. They all own TGP?s, they all submit to partner accounts and what looks to be normal TGP?s and they all use our hosted galleries.
Getting sales from TGP?s isn?t about doing ONE thing; it?s about doing everything you can to get traffic and knowing how to work your traffic sources. Once you have the traffic you either know how to make it convert or you don?t.. I don?t think you can be shown how to have a green thumb.
TGP?s and Gallery submissions are NOT going away any time soon. The only difference is times have changed. If you haven?t changed with the times then don?t blame the industry, blame yourself.
