TGP Submitting

# 1 point to remember when working with TGP?s & MGP?s: Think like a surfer. You were once a surfer

looking for porn. And yes I will admit I have bought site memberships through TGP?s.

I came to this side of the industry about 3 years ago. The first thing I learned was how to encode

HTML and do hand submitting. I still submit to this day.

TGP sites have lots of traffic, but some people say it?s not very good traffic. There are lots of

webmasters and submitters making a good living. Something must be working. Let?s focus on the

basics for getting listed which is the most important thing.

Rules, rules, rules. Each TGP site will ask for different things from you the submitter. Do what

they ask for. It should not be anything strange. Here are some basics.

All TGP galleries have different rules?Some let you submit one gallery a day others let you submit

5 a day. Make sure to follow the rules or you will be blacklisted and will not be able to submit. I

would start off with 2 submissions a day. Make sure they are different niches this will give you a

better chance of not being blacklisted.

Here?s an example of a "Rules" page


Quantity & Quality of Pix

There?s no one right number of pictures to include in your gallery, but more is better.

Galleries should contain at least 15 images and no more than 19. Examples:

Link http://www.phxwebmaster.com/tgp/ch-nn4/index.html
Link http://www.phxwebmaster.com/tgp/a5/index.html

Think like a surfer, who would want more pix, right. Also the reviewer will like the gallery

better if it has more pix, because he?s thinking of his surfers.
Images:

The quality of the pictures is also very important. Many low quality pix won?t be acceptable. But

too few of even great pix neither. You want a balance of the two if you hope to get posted. Also

the thumbs must be clear not full of artifacts, which are those squiggly lines you sometimes see.

Keep the thumbs looking good, or the surfer will not even click in the first place. You would be

wasting even good full-size pix if no one ever saw them.

Thumbnails should range from:
120x90 to 120x160
Large images range from:
480x640 to 537x720

Make sure to have a link to the 2257 information on the gallery page

Examples of thumbs in common sizes:

88x88:

94x94:

100x100:

90x120:

100x120:


The size of the full-size is pix important as well. About 600 pixels is a good minimum width.

It?s also a good time to say avoid content that has been around for a while. The reviewer will

probably have seen it before and so will the surfer. Free content gets quickly over-used on TGP

sites, FYI. Another thing to look for is pix that are in series, to tell a ?story?.

Even good quality pix may not be accepted because they are too common. Think surfer! Something

different makes the surfer happy and makes the reviewer happy, which makes the submitter happy.

Linking

Have two links with your affiliate id on the gallery
One button or images link to the paysite

One text link

Make sure to add a little text the galleries for SEO?.
Have keys words describing the gallery


Choosing an affiliate programs:

The most important thing is to pick a niche or content category you like or know something about.

This way you can tell what?s hot or fresh, what models or scenes have been around and can give the

content the woody-test ? lol.

The choice of payout is a personal decision, but TGP traffic may give a lot of clicks and a poor

click to sales ratio, which could put you over the conversion limit.

Be sure to contact your affiliate manager. Unless your rep is an idiot, he or she should have

something to offer if you have any questions about the program.. Don?t be shy most affiliate

manager don?t bite?..lol


Partnership accounts:

Most TGP?s offer partnership accounts.
What is a partnership account?
You will get accepted quicker that a normal submitter
Some partnership accounts will let you submit more than one gallery a day

How to get a partnership account:
Most TGP?s have a section like this http://www.18amateurs.net/application.htm or an

e-mail address for the webmaster.
Fill out the form or e-mail the webmaster requesting a partnership account make sure to include

sample galleries, username, password and e-mail address


TGP2

TGP2 limits the number of full-size images to only and is supposed to give a better surfer

experience, reduce free porn amounts internet and reduce bandwidth cost bills. It is also

supposed to improve conversions. The idea is that a regular TGP has about 10 full size images and

links the user to other free sites, so they are less likely ever pay for a membership.

You cannot send your TGP2 traffic to or link with a regular TGP as that defeats the purpose. The

purpose ultimately is to minimize the amount of free content to get the user to join thereby

increasing conversions to sponsors or pay sites


The TGP Submitting Kit (what you will need)

NOOB, this is what you will need to get started:

I personally use Chameleon submitter and have been very happy with the results. There are many

other submitting programs out there such as Advance submitter and Russian submitter which I would

also recommend.

Most affiliate programs should be willing to work with you to help promote their sites.
Usually they have galleries already built ready for you to promote. I would personally contact the

affiliate manager to start a relationship with them.

2 affiliates sponsors to start out with in 2 different niches?

Chameleon Submitter

Chameleon Confirmer

Basic html and html editor like dreamweaver or notepad

Photoshop

FTP client

Domain: Some affiliate programs offer domain names and free hosting to promote their sites.

E-mail address

1 to 2 hours a day EVERYDAY

This is a great way for any NOOB to start in this industry, especially if you don?t have a lot of

time or money to invest. It?s also a great way to see if this is the industry for you.

What I have learned with TGP submission is constancy and a routine is key.
Plan on submitting everyday and get into a routine.
I think the biggest pay off is checking your stats page and seeing a sign up.

TGP submitting can get boring once you get the hang of it and in your own routine. One or two

hours/day is all it should take, once you know what you?re doing, and on you way to making good

money.

If any of you NOOBS have any questions about submitting, partnership accounts, paid submissions,

chameleon, and sponsor (affiliate programs) please feel free to hit me up on ICQ 197 216 193.

To help in the impoverishedNOOBS cause, BiminiBucks have contributed a

copy of Chameleon Submitter and a month of my time to teach the lucky NOOB and get them on the road to making money in the TGP game . For details, please contact 2HousePlague at biminibucks [@] profitLABINC.com
