I still dont see why some feel tgp is so detrimental to success in this Industry. I too believed it years back, but no longer. I think the idea is good but it wont stop anything.
I have stopped submitting galleries to tgps and focused on other aspects of gaining my OWN gallery traffic away from tgps and have increased my gallery sign ups. Not to mention overall traffic.
Friends (or people you are watching less) are usually the ones who steal shit from you when you least expect it. Put your trust in someone who gave ya 5 bucks, and you're asking to be ripped. Trust costs more than 5 bucks.
There will always be those of us who make small deals with tgp owners, we do them honestly and amongst people we associate with on icq, email whatever... of course Link Sites like the Hun and Thumbzilla n such are in a different league, but nevertheless it seems tgp owners always want more for less.
I am against giving away as much porn as all of you do.
hit my site
http://superbooger.com and see who givs what away.
I barelygive a fucking picture away anymore, as most of you give 16 pic galleries of movies away like its nothing. Not to mention the minimum number of pics per gallery is increasing too! I have seen tgps that only allow 16+ pics, fuck you "Daves Dirty Links" id rather piss away my money with Ad Words than put a dollar in your greedy mouth.
Maybe my opinion and choices are fueled by experience and drive, I dont know, but I dont like feeding off of others, never have, never will. I make and pave my own way.
I have paid 50 bucks for a picture set and for concern of saturation hit a few link lists and no doubt, the same set is being given away by some cheater or newbie.
You guys really need to rethink things, and re educate the surfer. Giving away galleries is NEVER going to make you money anymore. Unless you're shooting exclusive content and have a good gimmick. Content providers and tgp owners are laughing all the way to the bank.
Re-educate the surfer. Thinking about it now, some webmasters need to be re-educated as well, some have lost their way.
