But I have a lot of domains doing nothing, that I will set up and put them to good use, at about 70% shave.

Thanx!

Looks like your site really has grown since you have started this thread.

[helmet]

ok, i would read the entire thread to see if my q's have been answered, but this is easier, honestly.

i'm wondering,
1. what the hell is comus, at first i thought it would be an automated thumbnail maker.

what is the skim deal about? the numbers and charts on the comus page about?

2. what kinda bw and size am i looking for. would you use one of the cheap sites w/ 80 gigs of bw for 6.95 w/ domain reg? like ipower.com?

3. how much capital is really needed to get the ball rolling on this? what kinda commitment am i looking at? get as detailed as you can get.

thanks and much appreciated.

your fellow noob,
helmet

Yeah, it grew... lots of knowledge from helping people. Makes someone ask how things work and why they work...

Anyway thanks for the bump.

Helmet: I'll answer your questions later. Anybody else interested in asking questions? Its better to ask them here then on ICQ.

Let me remind anyone thinking of getting into the adult webmaster biz today:

The gold rush ended in 2000, there is no easy cash to be made anymore, it's all about hard-work and dedication. You need to spend money to make money. The biz is saturated and it has matured like any other biz. The big players are working together to push the littles guys out.

Good luck

You need to post your link to your site. The design is very critical to retaining traffic, also to see what trade scripts you are using.

You were probably oversending to sustain the trades... but when the bought traffic ran out your site collapsed.

Your thumbs look pretty good, I would have thought that it would have grown a lot more durning durning that period.

Make sure you use the prefix for TTT C. The ones in the comus help are for the older TTT. You can find em on TTT support board.

Go get yourself a copy of IE. If you already don't. Now go through every single one of your trades and check them. Popups, installers, spyware is what you'll be looking for. Eliminate the ones that you find to have any of those.

[po pimp]

i am using the prefixes for TTT C and i still get this dns error.
gundamn can you help me on icq? my icq - 267851956

[zzgundamnzz]

Try these settings

1. Visitors without Cookie
send to galleries

2. Add trades because your not sending them anywhere if you got no trades

[pinkhat]

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. I see there is so much to lean. The concept of 'productivity' of a TGP site is most interesting

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!

Well put, and alot more good info for people starting out.
Sean ICQ me please.

60% skim means they'll build a TGP with 60% of clicks that go to gallery and 40% to your trades.

http://www.mgpbuilders.com/faq.html
Why does it get so long 2-4 weeks to grow a site to 100k?
We prefer working with at least 60% skimming. Because of that reason it gets a bit long time. Also you mustn't hurry up while we are working on your site(s) . Because, all our effords are just for your future success. We can also grow your MGP& TGP site(S) to 100k overnight too like some of others do. But it wont be a successful site and die itself after we stop working on it. So just leave us the works and get relaxed! :-)

Gotcha.

[afx]

Anybody has tried mgpbuilders.com ??
They seem like a nice option. But the 60% skim.... mm...

[zzgundamnzz]

I wouldn't recommend getting your site built it up. Why? because most people wouldn't have the know how to keep or grow it.

Better to just start off small and make all your big mistakes with little or no money on the line.

Just IMHO.

[tipper]

zzgundamnzz,

1) Does design matter to a TGP's growth?
Designs like these look great but are they worth the $130?

2) You seem to run a FHG only TGP, I was told they were hard to grow and gain bookmarkers due to the lack of fresh daily new content.

3) Most TGPs are update daily (today's gallery, yesterday's galleries, etc.), is it a bad idea to do it hourly (this hour, last hour, etc)?

4) Some big TGPs have hall of fame at the bottom, why? Do they want to send the most traffic to their paid spots at the top?

1. Yes design does matter. If you don't have $130 to spend on a design there are plenty of options out there. For $45 you can get a design from:
http://tgpfactory.com/

2. FHG TGPs are not hard to grow imho. I mean its better than having to sleep with one eye opened knowing that there are cheaters out there. I got a database of 30,000 galleries. Thats 208 days worth of fresh galleries everyday if I were to update every 10 minutes.

3. No its not a bad idea to make it update hourly, every 30 minutes or even every 5 minutes.

4. Might be the case. But more likely they have all of their new stuff at the top. Arranged by day and quality.

[tipper]

I clicked 10 galleries on your TGP and none went to a trade, do you have any skim enabled?

Stop spamming, once is enough.

[zzgundamnzz]

Yeah, I got skim enabled. I put 100% to gallery in a few key places to boost sales.

[ballzonya]

As a begginner would creatings a THUMBED TGP be more affective than creating a TEXT LINK tgp.. and why..

i see that with Braincash etc... you get all the galleries you need for a thumb site.. but where would one begin if you just wanted text links, like "the HUN" etc.. it seems less bandwidth and reasonable turnover.

[quamism]

First of all, Great Thread! Have learned alot about the process from reading here. A couple of questions i still have:

1. After checking out a lot of sites it seems that the "raptor" traffic trading script is very popular. Problem is there is NO info available on-line. I talked to another webmaster and he told me that it is only sold through refferal. Anyone have any experience with it? And is it better than TM3 and others?

2. Can you check productivity of traffic before you start traffic trading with it? My concern is buying 100k hits and then having all my traffic trade partners ban me because the traffic doesn't produce.

Thanks for your help and this thread.

[zzgundamnzz]

Raptor? I have honestly never used it. If you want a good Traffic Script you should go with Arrow Trader Xtreme.

Yes you can check the productivity of bought traffic before trading with it. Just don't setup any trades and let some of the traffic come in so you can see what it is. Proxy % , Country ... etc.

[Aractor]

Thanks for the great tut & all the help throughout the thread zzgundamzz
I'm going to give this a shot once I pull some cash out of the bank...

[oberheimer]

i might build a tgp on my domain, xxxbang.com
$70 is not much for a design (i don't have time to design one myself), becasue i have to many projects going on.
1. surfresults.com (wind wave kitesurfing results)
2. teenpeaches.com (Teen AVS)
3. pixelside.com (my design site)
4. might start a design forum (portal)
Then my TGP that im going to start

What do you think about the domain name?

[Showman]

Two thumbs up, Sean!

[Basic_man]

Pretty neat tuto ! That's great for a newbie !

[XpressMedia]

Very good guide my friend

[Kevsh]

I've always been skeptical of TGPs but I'd say this tutorial has simplified it quite a bit, thanks

[zzgundamnzz]

Thanks alot for the responses

[eBasta]

[siva350]

very cool

[JKDMed]

Nice. Maybe I can make a few bucks now.

By the way, apparently the Comus 2% is back.

[mrmdb]

text based galleries

Anyone know of a tutorial on how to make a text gallery page? Are these all hand made? Or is there a script to make them? Thanks
