what about managing traffic?
sounds like a good investment, but i wouldn't spend more than an hour a day takin' care of 'em

I have built myself a cluster. At the moment it runs on 4 dedicated servers and it takes me 10 minutes per day to manage that. I don't trade on that cluster, all traffic is from feeders and SE.
And as I launched all that less than 2 months ago (it was up and running from one day to the another) it has not much traffic for now but it is growing nice.
At the moment I can start another cluster of 3700 TGPs in one day, but I think this is not nice move, so I'm banking all the benefits and if all goes ok in several months you can expect a BIG 37.000 TGPs cluster to show
As the galleries are rotating over all the cluster I give exactly the same quantity of free porn on all the sites, so it's not a big problem regarding freeloaders. Databases rotate every 6 hours on 10 different niches.
At 25th August I will release some of the scripts that run all that for free, so you will have to wait unless you want to build yourself another cluster
The traffic mamagement script is a customized CjOverkill version (version pre 5.0) that is capable to run several thousands of sites as if they were one only big site. At the moment I only use it to track the surfers and the traffic from the feeders and SE.
At the moment I am building paysites for my traffic because I prefer to have all the puzzle. For now I have only the TGP cluster (
http://www.powercum.com/cluster.php ), a search engine (
http://www.sexeel.com ), lots of galleries, one paysite (almost finished) that will grow to 5 very soon and not much more.
It's hard to build big projects, but it's worth the effort. also you need lots of tech knowledge and money. If you have no tech knowledge you will need even more money, but that's not my case because I can manage everything I have with not much problems.
There is no free lunch nor easy money. You have to burn your ass working in order to get some good results ($25 per week as most small TGPs make is not a good result). The only difference between my method and standard TGP methods is that I prefer to view my network as one big site instead of 3700 small ones. So I manage them as if they were one only site and they take me the same amount of time that I would need to manage one single site (of course it took me near 1 month to figure how to cluster all that properly and still keep it simple enough to manage). At this moment I don't care much if I have one or 3700 sites, for my setup and my point of view they are only one... except for the server bills that are pretty higher, but that's not a problem.
I am trying to build an old style TGP network but using all the tech knowledge I have in order to get the best results.
Seems to work for me
