New tgp style... - GoFuckYourself.com

Zorgman · 12-23-2003, 09:22 AM

I have talked to many webmasters about tgp's. Most of which prefer using thumbs (88x88 or large) as their gallery links, but when trading with other tgps that only use text the prod is different. So they trade with other sites like they have.

So, I was thinking, what about a tgp that has both. Let the surfer decide which one he/she wants. By default the tgp loads with text links, but they can turn thumbnails on if they wish.

What do you think?

I think thumbs rock... but giving surfers the choice is a good thing

Head · 12-23-2003, 09:38 AM

I like it! Looks good to me. I wonder how it's converts?

from my POV, just make sure ur text link dont look the same

shemale gallery
shemale gallery
shemale gallery

add blind links and itll be bad.

Thumbs rule! I enjoy doing them, it's more challenging to describe a gallery with a thumb than with a text description.

Too bad many people don't have a clue what they're doing, e.g. if it's a pregnant gallery, they only show the girls face. Talk about untargetted traffic. And aparently, many don't know how to sharpen and increase the brightness/contrast of the thumbs too.

Great idea this one to turn the thumbs on/off.

JesusLovesPorn has something similar in their archives. They offer -text only/thumbs only/thumbs and text- options to the surfers.

It's a neat idea... but does the user have the attention span to see the "thumbs on" link and turn it on?
I didn't. I scrolled right past it.

crockett · 12-23-2003, 09:57 AM

been working on this for awhile... trying to get a few sites set up like that as both text and thumb

I had to switch scripts 3 times to find the right one, so it's taken me longer than I had orginally planned.. But I decided to go that route when it became too hard to find good text trades.. Seems everyone is going to those big 5 billion category sites.. and their traffic sucks ass on my normal text sites... So I had to start looking at other ways to find trades..

That Loading gallery splash page gotta be a productivity killer

If i was surfer and clicked on that link i would assume it was a blind link and just close the browser

Exactly

HarlotCash Dyker · 12-23-2003, 10:02 AM

Having both is a good idea -
Although I prefer thumbs - doing away with text links is taking away search engine key words - So a page mixed with both may be a better idea

NBDesign · 12-23-2003, 10:02 AM

Very clean and fast loading

NinjaSteve · 12-23-2003, 10:10 AM

I like the design and giving an option sounds interesting. I think thumbs are better though.

Are you able to track how many people surf with the thumbs on or off?

If thumbs on = more traffic than thumbs off
and thumbs on or off option = more traffic than that, then it seems like a good idea.

An ALT tag AND a Title tag with a description in every thumb should help.

good point! I first looked at the site and blew by the thumbs link, also is it hard to update the pages with 2 ?

Jarmusch · 12-23-2003, 10:57 AM

I also passed by the option to turn the thumbs ON. Maybe they should be ON by default, and have a link to turn them OFF. And it makes sense, you arrive at a site called 'Only Thumbs' and you see only text, that's weird.

Elli · 12-23-2003, 11:15 AM

When I saw "TURN THUMBNAILS ON - MAY TAKE A FEW MOMENTS" it looked like poor english saying that it may take a few moments for the thumbnails to load, since I didn't see any right away. Then I realized it was a clickem thing to turn them on.

It says "Only Thumbs"... what else would a TGP be? Maybe it implies TGP2 style, where the thumbs aren't clickable?

It says "Only Thumbs"... so where are the thumbs?? It's "Only Text"!

Just my initial impressions.

Raf1 · 12-23-2003, 11:31 AM

I like the idea. Good luck with it

Zorgman · 12-23-2003, 07:59 PM

There are 4 tgps I have running the same script, so at the moment they are just copies of each other. Yes, Only Thumbs and you get text links - weird but surfers are clicking so it's working.

Thanks for your feedback guys.

Makes sense.

Face shot tgp layouts like jpeg4free.com get clicked a lot. But the best way to filter traffic for a sale is by using descriptive text. Just my
