Okay...let me just lay this out clearly one more time. TGPs are just traffic like any other source. Where's the "Ban Google" thread because so many people are building websites with free content? You won't see it because people in adult get fixated to go after TGP's, yet most people submit daily. Talk about biting the hand that feeds you.
Everyone in this thread wants to stop free porn from being spread around the net...correct? Okay, then answer these questions:
- Who supplies the free content?
- Who supplies the FHG?
- Who supplies gallery building software, free hosting, etc? Where any noob that wants to get rich in porn can enter with almost no cost?
Sponsors are the ultimate purveyor of free porn. Almost no webmaster that submits to my tgp uses bought content...if sponsors wanted to limit the amount of porn they could easily pull the switch on it. Sponsors could remove the money shots or limit them. Do you think webmasters would be outraged and buy content? No, because they're cheap bastards and will use whatever content the sponsor provides.
One other thing, I convert better with TGP traffic than any other traffic...but I don't use sponsors that offer free content, FHG, etc. I buy my content, I design my own pages, and rely very little on the sponsor to give me anything in the way of tools. You'd be fucking amazed how well you convert on tgp traffic with sponsors that don't court noobie webmasters that spam.
So, blaming TGP's for free porn on the net is like blaming google for existing...it's just a traffic source. Get over it already.
