Ok guys.. This is the last thing I want to say about this thread:
1. I made a mistake that had the possibility to cause many site owners problems. I'm not here to start trouble, nor have I ever been.
2. As Sleazy says: "There are thumb TGP's with high quality traffic and Text TGP's with high quality traffic." None can be discounted as quality surfers are quality surfers.
3. I wanted to start an active discussion that has turned into something it wasn't designed to. I realize my phrasing was wrong, and I will not error like this in the future.
4. I have made a living with TGP. Text and Thumb. I was NOT including established sites such as AL4A, Shemp, Lumberjack Links, World Sex, Dr Bizzaro, Pic Hunter, Sublime Directory, The Hun, etc (you know the big sits that have the best surfers). These are EXCEPTIONAL sites that have much SE traffic and many bookmarkers. This traffic is PURE GOLD and it always will be. I was referring to "smaller" sites such as mine that haven't been bookmarked for 5-8 years. Smaller sites with less traffic have a couple options and I was trying to get an opinion on which format small to medium site owners prefer. THIS is what I forgot to include in my original thread.
5. I don't need ANYBODY to back me up. I started a thread that I shouldn't have started. End of story.
6. Just so you all know, as a SUBMITTER, text TGP's have made me 90% of my income throughout the years. I would never bite the hand that feeds me, nor take cheap shots at site owners that I respect.
7. This is a PUBLIC APOLOGY to those who I may have offended. What happened in this thread was not my intent. If you don't accept it, I understand. Please contact me privately if you are included in the list of site owners that I offended. I'd like to talk to you and resolve this issue in a positive manner
8. The issue between myself, Shemp and Nick has been resolved. Those of you who enjoy laughing at me for being an "idiot" can stop. I made a MISTAKE and it's over.
9. Lets put this thread to rest. I'm sorry for causing the trouble that I did.
10. Have a good one everybody!
