If you're just starting out, heres a way to start a TGP with $50 instead of $5000.
1. Get a domain name at godaddy.com, yes their TOS (terms of service) makes you a hoe to their pimpin back hand, but for the most part you're safe. especially when you're just starting out.
2. use a virtual host. use a hosting company like webair.com and they'll allow you to upgrade as neccessary.
3. Do a text link TGP rather then a Thumb TGP. It will save you bandwidth, it will save you from buying programs, and hey, they're still awesome.
4. download http://www.scriptarchive.com/rand_link.html and use this for all of the links to your galleries. This is a random link generator.. meaning each time somebody clicks on the link a new gallery will appear. You can also divide it into categories like babe, teen, fetish, etc.
5. sign up for as many sponsors as you can with free hosted galleries. and also put your link trades into the database to force traffic to the sites your trading with.
6. put a couple banners on your site to either sites you want to promote, products, whatever you think will bring in the dough!
7. Now your new $50 TGP is pretty much self maintenenced. So with your extra time start building your own galleries with 3 reciporal links with of course one of those links being yours. Just another way to get some more traffic.
The reason I say this, is a lot of people want to get into the adult biz, pour out thousands of dollars and give up shortly there after. This way you wont have spent all that money for nothing should you decide this isnt for you.
One last thing I wanted to say, this isnt to diss anyone, but dont think anyone is doing anything for free here. All of the links to the sponsors all have zzgundamnzz referral codes in them, meaning, he will be making money off of every dime you make. Now im not saying his credibility is shot, heck, the least he deserves for providing you with a tutorial on how to make thousands of dollars a month is a finders fee. All I mean to say is make sure you research what you're getting into before you blow all your money on it, what was said in this post is just one mans opinoin and not a guaranteed recipe to make money. If you know anything about our economy you should know the fallacy of composition. What's good for one person is NOT neccessarily good for all.
Best of luck!
If your going to threadjack atleast give right information...
You talked about inserting a link to a trade randomly into the text TGP script.
- How are you even going to know if your TGP is being productive?
- How would you even know what people click on?
- What happends to unproductive trades?
They get as much as regular trades and thats how you get assed out and fail in running your TGP.
lol. whatever dude. I'm sorry for hijacking your thread, you're the best im the worst. I'm completely wrong and everything I said was intentionally trying to throw people off of your proven method of success. It is hard, but in light of your responses, I just had to face the facts.
But I will be a stick in the mud about one thing, I said it before and I say it again... Good luck to everyone, including you zzgundamnzz

Sorry to go back on my word, but just for the sake of the people reading this thread I figured I should respond to the relevant counter criticism that was raised in the above quotation.
You would know what people clicked on based on your affiliate stats.
Unproductive trades would easily be recognized in your web stats.
And as zzgundamnzz reckoned earlier, a TGP's productivity is based on the $$$ earned. Therefor to check your TGP's productivity I would refer to your bank statement.
Now, I would like to make it clear that doing things the other way that was outlined in this thread would be A LOT more productive and easier (once you get the hang of things). You'd probably also make more money. What I was trying to achieve was some balanced input showing another way of doing things.

You know what... I don't really care what you think. All I wanted to do was share information that I thought would be useful. So what if I stick my ref codes to sponsors. If they don't make money I don't make money. The more successful the people I refer become the more successful I become.
I haven't seen too many people write articles about building a thumb TGP.
Whats your beef with me anyway?
Say whatever you want...
In the end you're just clearing up my ICQ messages from people asking for free help.

and I thought I made it clear that i wasnt trying to start 'beef'? I think you're a bit too defensive. But no hard feelings over here champ.

Originally posted by Khun Sorry for the newb question but I still dont really get what skimming is. Can you explan that in a little bit of detail?
If someone clicks on a link but doesnt get the gallery he clicked on, instead he is redirected to another TGP that you are trading traffic with thats a skim. Now say you're talking about an 80% skim. That means 80% of the time he'll get the gallery and 20% of the time he'll get the other TGP. But I'm not 100% sure about that, it could be the other way around. 80% could mean that he gets the other TGP 80% of the time. That just seems a bit high to me but with some of the thumbnail TGP's out there it is quite possible.
Cool, thanks. I am working trying to set this up at the moment. I will post and let you guys know how well it goes for me when I get all the pieces together.
Sig is on vacation... (I wish I could vacation as long as my sig has...)
zzgundamnzz : Not to side against you, I think this is a great thread and I'm following it closely. I just thought I should correct a little misunderstanding
The above script randomizes links to galleries, not to traffic trades. In other words, you can list URLs of 10,000 galleries in a text file (which the script accesses) and 50 links on your tgp page, and each time a visitor comes to your site he'll be faced with a different list of galleries for a long, long time; If all these galleries are yours and have your referral code on them, you keep all the traffic for yourself.
If all these galleries are sponsor-hosted, then you get all the money from the sales AND don't have to pay the gigantic bandwidth bill.
Either way, it eliminates the hassle of submissions/reviews. However, it DOES mean that you have to build or find all these galleries yourself and submit them to other TGPs yourself (or buy traffic).

thats a cool tutorial. comus is the best there is. my advice to you all is, choose a niche, babes, pornstars, blowjobs, footjobs whatever, there are alot of nichies out there, choose one and work on it. thats the mistake i first made, i didnt choose a niche and my tgp was too general.
@zzgundamnzz:
just wanna say thank you for taking the time to write your great tutorial. I think, it's this kind of quality postings, which make it worth, to read adultwebmaster-boards for webmasters, who are into learning something and looking for helpful information.

really? maybe thats what my issue is. did you keep your general tgp anyway, or toss it for a niche?
can u post a place to get trades? thx. then i will know what to look for so i can find more myself.
also, i was using trial comus but it kept skimming out to xxxonfire.com. i did not want to pay for something when i am not making money with yet, so i replaced it with a fake tgp.
so, trial comus skims at 2%? skimming is that it takes clicks away from your site. therefore, 1 out of 5 clicks to a thumb goes to xxxonfire.com, right?

correction:
i was lossing one out of five clicks to xxxonfire.
THATS NOT A 2% SHAVE

Keep us updated! I love this thread.
Or you could stick it at the bottom of your thumb TGP... add some traffic broker links and make cash just because people clicked.
Part 1:
Do a text link TGP rather then a Thumb TGP.
***********************************
Can an experienced pimp explain the pros and cons of text-link over thumb TGP?
Some of the big name TGPs out there are text-link TGPs (thehun, worldsex etc).
Does 1 style convert better, have greater earning potential for the TGP site owner?
Also if you go with the text-line style, is there scripts out there to accomodate this type of TGP - (comus??).
Part 2:
Also does software like Comus allow you place banners and other advertising text-links and then either sell the ad-spots or promote sites via their affiliate progs?

Keep pimpin!
Yes you can put whatever you want, it just helps you place (and manage) the thumbs links on your pages.
Sorry I'm not an experienced pimp so cant help you on the first part.
zzgundamnzz, thanks for a great By the way - thank for a great tutorial

Text link TGP's are the classic method and Thumb TGP's are relatively new. Most of the larger TGP's are text link because they're older.
As for which one is better, Thumb TGP's get more traffic, text link tgp's are better on bandwidth and usually have better conversion ratios. So it depends on if you're making the TGP to make money, or if you're making it to build traffic.

For that matter, how do I see it in Comus also?
Originally posted by fuzzylogic this is a fake tgp, huh?
where do you buy your traffic?
lastly, is first three clicks to galleries then rest to trades a good ratio?
- Don't set extremely high return ratios.
- Don't force traffic that you don't have.
Doing these will make your site collapse into itself. We all want to send 200% fixed return to trades or force 1000 per hour but sometimes thats just not possible.
Instead stick with a return of 120-130% with a maximum of 150% return. You'll notice that your trades will grow and become steady.
- Let the trade script manager handle the traffic.
- Only force to your Key trades if you need to
