You are ALL wrong!
Hosted Galleries from Sponsors are kicking ass! When I started day to day operation of AMPLAND in 2000 the site was getting about 250,000 uniques a day. And the primary source of income was selling text links.
NOW we are getting close to 800,000 uniques a day and just off of sponsor hosted galleries we are grossing over $750,000 a year! When I add in other ad revenue we are popping WAY over a cool million a year on Ampland.
TGP's Dying?
We just keep growing and growing!
What has died is the sudden glut of thousands upon thousands of former "customers" who suddenly joined affiliate programs and became "webmasters" and started freeloading off of our traffic by having us post their galleries.
I know you might say..."well it was our galleries that kept people coming to your site"
Maybe...but since day one we have made Ampland into WAY more than just galleries. We were the first with daily humor back in '96 and we just keep adding things for people to do.
And as I said...once I got RID of the public submitters...our traffic went through the roof!
Maybe it's because we are honest with the surfers and don't allow pop-ups and don't have any blind links.
I think you might be confusing some of the "fake" tgp's who only exist to blindlink and trade traffic with other "fake" tgp's in a stupid attempt to get big numbers.
The "real" TGP's like us still have top quality traffic. That's why my link spots aren't available to the general public for sale. I keep 'em for myself because they are just too valuable.
No, the TGP's will never die.
But I'm afraid our days of being a FREE SITE are going to come to an end soon.
That's what is really going to happen. The government will very soon shut down ALL free sites.
So the name of this post should be: "The Death Of Free Sites and how it will really happen."
Well how it will really happen is...one day John Ashhahahahaha is just gonna say "Free sites are illegal because ANYONE including CHILDREN can access them."
And the day that happens I will make 3 or 4 million dollars when Ampland becomes the cheapest and biggest pay site on the planet!
It's called "evolution" baby! And the law of un-intended consequences!
:)

Very Intelligent Post Robbie! :thumbsup

I think this thread deserves a bump.

You can always tell the guys who don't know shit by their sky is falling posts.

My tgp still works fine and brings money.

I find that noobs post about "falling conversion rates... blah blah blah". I regularly convert programs at 1:250 RAWS and recently even have a program converting at 1:111 (for the month) RAWS. The only reason dumbasses have high conversion rates is because they are pushing the same programs as a million other webmasters OR pulling a straight up newb trick of putting all kinds of niches on their sites and expecting to make alot of sales.

--> TGP TIP OF THE CENTURY RIGHT HERE <--
Don't run a million sponsors on your new tgp. Don't start a multi-niche tgp if your a newb. Stick to specific niches that not everyone and their brother are promoting and only run a few sponsors on each tgp. BAM! Did that hurt your head?

Since everyone is bumping old threads today, I'd like to take this oppotunity to
apologise to all TGP owners for saying that TGPs were going to die.

No source of traffic will ever go away, it will be either modified or just continue being good but in this game theres always someone buying

Not an easy one to predict.
Small tubes already failed though; like small search engines.
Ad sells would have to sink before big tubes die.

I think you were spot on with this man. I don't get this mindset. And this might be one of the most controversial things I've said on this forum.

- Pic / Video TGPs suck, literally I would not spend a minute on it. No offense to the guys that made it work back in the day.
- Tubes are what I would use. I would also save my own collection of videos for various reasons. Likely due to power outages, DMCAs, etc. Save that video and keep it lol.
- I've been a reviewer for a number of years. I never once jerked off to a pay site that I reviewed. Big names, small names. I'm so sorry guys but I just don't like member's areas. I just reviewed according to industry standard. And a lot of sites were "good" in comparison.

I love live feed, get what you ask for content. That's why I promote cams. I like that better than tubes and pic posts. But there's something for everyone and everyone has an opinion like I do in this post.

I hope people transition on time to the next thing, if applicable. I want everyone to be rich, but it was in fact someone here that told me to get out of membership sales. And I finally listened.

Saying what will work is easy if one doesn't include the costs of producing and delivering it. IMO no new site will make it because the customer doesn't care if it's new, he only cares if it's better than the established sites including Tubes.
