Do you see TGPs being replaced by deep content blogs the same way TGPs replaced Circle Jerk sites, do you see blogs replacing TGPs?
Advantages of TGP:
1) Huge amount of content
2) Automated updates
3) Increasingly lower costs for hosting/gallery creation due to rise of FHGs
4) Huge amount of traffic through smart traffic trades with other TGPs
Advantage of Blogs:
1) Episodic content presentation. You have more space to actually sell the gallery
2) SE-friendly spidering of entries
3) Friendlier user management --ie., they can slice and dice your entries based on their niche preference
4) Easier to syndicate
5) Gentler way to push traffic in between blogs (instead of the rough TGP skim)
6) VIDEO BLOGS: meshing girl diaries and daily thoughts with actual videos.
7) Higher level of user participation through comments
8) Viral -- each entry has a "Send to friend" feature
What are your thoughts on this?
Either way, given the many xxx blogs popping up lately, it feels like a real estate rush--people are staking their space before 1) a final 'porn blog' standard is established 2) space gets too saturated.
