I dont....but Shemp traffic IS worth paying for.

free traffic from Shemp always equaled signups for me. :2 cents:


this thread was worth reading through :thumbsup

i can assure you i read the post, i can assure you i didnt like what i read. Rio jumped to the conclusion that he would be pulling big traffic from Day1. I mean a couple of days after he gets his FREE account he is complaining. He can complain elesewhere now.
you have a site, hook him up...

Can't argue with anything you just said.

Hahahaa you wish man, my opinion hasn't changed at all. We had a good talk and it was respectable and we both know there's nothing personal there. The pimp can't be pimpslapped into changing his mind for anyone except maybe a hot puerto rican girl once in a while.

:1orglaugh

thanks, but its all about selling my sig next month... ;)

Fair enough. I agree that he probably had false assumptions on the traffic he was going to get, but at least he was happy and was willing to pay you for the upgraded pass unlike lots others just just cry bloody murder.

If I was Rio though I would have phrased my question differently, by saying I was happy with the traffic and was wanting more, and if anyone had feedback on the value of the upgrade. Putting the traffic value into the question was not needed in my opinion either.

exactly what i thought. you cant complain about low traffic on a new FREE account over the Easter holiday. yes he had low traffic, because the account was only two days old. i cant put new submitters in top spots, thats suicide in TGP, they have to hang around for awhile, prove they are honest i will raise them up the list.

edit.

Gold is okay, but at one time *I* was a PLATINUM submitter at Shemp.com. Any of you fuckers here able to claim that?

Back in those days I'd submit a gallery to shemp every few days as well as to about 60 other tgp's, and out of the signups just about every day I'd see at leat 1-3 from shemp's traffic. Through my own trial-and-error I figured out how to convert traffic from shemp and all those other sites, I asked no one if anyone's traffic was "any good" or "worth it" etc.

Why am I telling you all this? Simple... because at no time would I ever think of questioning someone else's traffic on a public message board. It would be unthinkable to say they didn't send enough or anything like that, especially when it is free traffic. There have been more sumitters than good tgp's for a long time now, it is an owners market, not a submitters market. Very bad taste to be asking questions about someone's traffic like "is it worth it" etc.

The only way I know of to find out if someone's traffic is "worth it" for me is to get it and use it, make adjustments over the course of weeks and in some cases even months, and fine tune it until I either get it right or move on. Traffic worth is subjective, one person's gold is another one's crap. You people need to stop asking other's if someone's traffic is "good" and just try it and tune your own shit up.

Totally agree with you there. My only point is I think it would have been better to say Rio this is why your here, if your not happy with my free traffic then I can take away your pass if your not willing to be patient and earn your better placements, your call.

If you read this whole thread, everyone know understands that etc, but it could have been better and less drama or debate I guess if your first post was like that and then if he complains or acts like a dick you delete his account like you did.

Of course you have full control over your site etc, just think Rio got jumped on a bit harshly for asking a question.

Anways have a good night, I am exhausted! :-)

7 pages later and poor shempy is still defending his knee jerk decision


he can only respond every 5 minutes tho because all the ppl sucking his cock is quite distracting


:Graucho

I think the topic author was hoping for more than break even, after all he was already getting some traffic and it was free, lol. Now that he isn't maybe he wants a gold account :)

:helpme

Yes I am one of the Elite few

Plus I buy banner placement etc.

Let me boost your troll ego... it must make you feel very proud that i would even take 30 seconds of my life to tell you to fuck off.
so there you go asshole, you are now famous...

*nods* to fellow eliter.

Wtf the guy wasnt even complaining or nothing he was just asking if it was worth it to buy an account ..

I care less what shemp does with his tgp, thats his own business ... but we should make a video called "shemp gone bad" instead of girls gone wild :P

Yea but he missed that. Thats why everyb0dy liked Curly, Larry, and Moe..... Shemp sucks.

Maybe you missed this.....

they didnt teach reading in Ottawa?

Now I think riosluts is a useless piece of ARS sig whore trash but his original post wasn't complaining about getting free Shemp traffic. He was saying he needed more traffic and wanted to know if the $90 a month for a Gold Plus account would get him enough traffic to be worth it.

He said 1.3k just isn't enough. I need more traffic. Is the $90 worth it? Sounds like a legitimate question to me.

ouch.

With the $90 riosluts made from ARS sig impression in this thread he should be able to buy that Gold account now.

i wish i was an eliter...

someday... someday

cool you are next in line to go...

Is he serious ?

You deleted my account a long time ago.

lol

seems the only difference would have been one interesting thread less... :winkwink:

what about the family account?

I read this entire thread. :Graucho

deadly..

Looks like I'm getting ready to lose my account :(

Thanks for giving me 8 pages of reasons why to stay away from TGP business.

Laura's account is her account...delete it if you want. Punishes her more than me since she is the one that keeps any money from galleries she submits. That's her flower garden money.

Laura never bitched about her account like Riosluts did.

its all worth it

True. Message boards are the places to ask fellow webmasters about their opinions and experiences.

I see some bad words here and that's not good. stop fight and we'll become a perfect family, remember? :)

Why wouldn't he be?
Are people these days really naive enough to think if you bite the hand that feeds you, there won't be consequences?

And it always amazes me how many people are so quick to run to a public forum to post their problems, while overlooking the obvious solution: rio should have just fucking ASKED SHEMP in the first place. All of this bullshit and drama could have been avoided if he/she had just gone directly to the source of the problem.

But hey, good times! The more partner accounts Shemp deletes tonight, the more will be available to people that will actually have a clue and value the FREE service he is giving them.

True. People should also use common sense in doing so; and this thread is a perfect example of that.

What a painfull way to win an x-box...:glugglug

I just got my gold partner account. Submitted my first gallery to Shemp last week. I haven't been listed yet but I'm assuming because it is a new account amd it will take 3-5 days to get listed. Even if I only receive 500 hits, I'll take it. It is free traffic. Once I figure his traffic out and I'm converting, I'll add him to my list of TGP's that I pay to get listed.

My theory has always been if I can convert on free traffic, I know I'll convert on paid traffic because I'll have a better placement which means more exposure.

It takes time to build a trust and a relationship. I see it more as he has something I want right now. Look at it as test drive for me and if the test drive goes well, Shemp will have another client that will pay to be listed which translates to another $14k per year in his pocket. Sounds like a solid business plan to me.

BTW Shemp, thanks for the partner account.

:1orglaugh

no 1300

LOLOLOLOL! :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :1orglaugh

GOOD laugh hahaha

He just asked a question and he gets his account deactivated? :eek7
