Well,
After a few days of gallery submitting with Russian Submitter, hand submitting 20 big ones (Richard's, Thumbzilla, etc) and $200 in content (not all yet used) and expenses I have a whopping 15,500 uniques 0:21 conversion rate.
It's not the uniques that I worry about - however the 21 "qualified" visitors to my adultplatinum sponsor kinda concerns me. I was estimating I would have 4-5 times that amount. Connversion also does not conernt me, because it is out of my hands once it goes to adult.com sites.
However I feel I need help in driving more traffic FROM my gallery to the sponsor.
21 / 15,500 = 1/740 click on sponsor.
I should be doing better than this, correct? By my calculations, at that rate, if I purchased a Hun spot, I could get 70,000/740 = <100 clicks. = 0, mabye 1 sale. Not worth my money.
It has me wondering if it is worth it to purchase content for galleries. My reasoning was that even if I got 1 subscription, the content would be paid for. Doesn't seem that is going to happen.
I paid someone in the know to design a gallery for me, and I have to say I'm really impressed with the design. Very happy with his work - excellent layout. an example gallery is at:

Mabye my content is not matching the site I'm promoting? Mabye the site is just not a big draw for most people? Who knows.
I guess I am still totally green here. Any advice help would be appreciated, and if anyone experienced had a few minutes to give me some advice (ICQ, Phone, etc.) I would be willing to pay for their time. You can contact me off thread at
