Would you pay for a service that features most if not all sponsor hosted galleries and gives you short text descriptions for each? How about an added feature where you get small thumbs from the galleries to your specifications? Please post your opinions here.

Your setup looks like you use small thumbnail samples from SHGs. Would such a service interest you?Originally posted by juicylinks

the thumbnails are easy.. ImageMagick and proper scripting
but it depends on the price I suppose, it could prove useful under certain circumstances. As long as it can be downloaded in a flat-text file daily or easily pulled in a standard format to update the tgp automatically.

Basically, I'd treat it like content. Custom jobs vs. "off the shelf" stuff. I do have some ideas in mind in order to prevent 'description saturation'Originally posted by chemicaleyes

Or a random description pool maybe? But the drawback to that would be that the more descriptions were in the pool, the more generic they'd be.Originally posted by $5 submissions

Exactly. The value proposition here is 1) accuracy of descriptions 2) preventive measures re saturation 3) written to entice the user to clickOriginally posted by Adult Site Traffic

Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
Let me repeat... A 120 x 60 button and no more that 3 lines of DEFAULT SIZE AND COLOR text.Comment

that's what I was thinking, but maybe a number of random description pools, so each description pool is only used by a certain number of webmasters..Originally posted by Adult Site Traffic

Maybe there's a more passive but effective way to prevent saturation. Either way, it would be like shopping for clothes... different styles but all fit. All have to be well written though.Originally posted by chemicaleyes

I've just finished writting descriptions for 3500 hosted galleries, not much fun... Don't think I'd want to do it 5 more times just for a rotation.
btw I'm doing this for a script that does hosted gallery submissions with your sponsor codes for free...

To better answer your question $5.
I'm found interest in this kind of thing to be modest. Probably not
enough demand for a paid service. Especially considering there
are free services popping up.
Free = 5% of galleries with my sponsor code, 95% with yours.

And for the bigger TGPs or those that are using lots of blog/journal/messageboard traffic as add ons, custom text is key to making this work. There's definitely two markets for this.Comment

It's a great idea, but just like Juicy, I have mine update hourly via a cron job. I'd be interested in the final product though for some other TGP sites I'm looking to start up.

Do the galleries have the TGP owner's code in them or yours?
I would pay to have new sponsor galleries mailed to me in a txt file with my codes already inserted (or info on where to sign up), broken down by niche. For starting up it would be a lot faster obviously but would take out the searching for new galleries too.

So you have number of pics in gallery, gallery url with your ref-code & custom gallery descriptions or off the shelf gallery descriptions. Then just copy and paste into your TGP script.

This benefits the surfer because they have a better idea of what to expect and will bookmark the site more than a site with "blind" ie., non described links.
Benefits of a text tgp as opposed to a picture thumb-based index tgp is that you are able to fit more material in the same space and you also filter your traffic better.
This also benefits all tgp webmasters because this puts the onus on sponsors to crank out SHGs at a faster pace with fresher content than the current trendComment

From my experience, specific and accurate text links generate more click throughs than either generic descriptions (e.g. 19 toons) or those "face" shot thumbs. Face shot thumb galleries get really boring after a while and you better have your cron job up to speed cua burnout rate is high.cat cash* | tr -d '\r' | tr -s '/n' > moneyComment

You could offer a free service that skims 5% of the sponsor codes and provides the same description to all. Plus a paid service which does not skim and guarantees that the specific description will only be used by a maximum of say 10 TGPs, ie if you had 100 paying clients you'd write 10 variations of the description.Originally posted by chemicaleyes

Most Thumb Preview software will create thumbs automatically, so this service would only be useful if you did carefully selected and composed hand-crops.Originally posted by $5 submissions

sorry - a one time fee would be acceptable (and I have done this several times already)
but honestly, the best gallery descriptions I know of come from ME
so, I hope this service takes off like gangbusters

The problem with the assertion of those guys who say that this has been done before is that to SKIM traffic, you have to control that traffic. How can you control SHG traffic when you're giving the link description (cut to the webmaster's specification) in data pipe format when you're not storing the URL on your server? All links will have the webmaster's ref codes.
What's preventing webmasters from running a Search and global replace of your ref code with theirs?Comment

True, you just have to trust that webmasters will be honest and pay you back for using a useful service.. It's like a type of webmaster karma, what goes around comes around.. If they just use the links as provided they will be successful, while if they get greedy and cut your ref code, well it will come back to bite them in the ass hopefully..Originally posted by $5 submissions

I haven't seen any services that offer custom description galleries. And even if they exist, I'm sure they are expensive.
Even the people who say there are generic services out there using a skimming business model are quite oblivious to the fact that many webmasters end up using the same descriptions over and over again.
