Heres some points most people fail to realise...
1. It all comes back to the Sponsorship programs. If NOBODY accepted TGP traffic, all TGP's would close the doors, and people would start hitting the search engines for porn again. People would be scrambling for their credit cards to sign up for memberships. Won't ever happen, its not an ideal world.
Though, my program does not allow TGP traffic. And Neither will
www.naughtyandlive.com, which is now paying $25 per free trial, by the way. The way I see it, TGP webmasters can keep their cheapskate traffic.
2. TGP Owners run a monopoly, and screw the real adult webmasters, and program owners. They have 1000s of foreign and ethnic webmasters submitting galleries filled with stolen content, all of which they cannot get taken to court over. They put in stringent policies and rules, including in most cases recip links, where the whole process is geared to make submitters work for them and line their own pockets. Why do TGP submitters want to work for someone else, for virtually nothing?
Because in most cases, the TGP laborers live in third world countries, where they only need to earn one signup a month to make a decent living.
It all comes back to the sponsors, programs, affiliates. Just say NO to TGP traffic if you would like to see a long term future for your business.
