My first TGP, any advice? - GoFuckYourself.com

I've made my first TGP now. I would appreciate any feedback about it.

Is there too many adds? And any suggestions about where to submit it when it's ready?

You're submiting this to TGPs?

If so:
- Most TGPs don't allow the text mouseover you have going on in the bottom of the browser becuase this looks tricky and covers up blink links
- Most TGPs only allow 2-3 links to sponsors or whatever (looks like you have 6, but can't tell where I'm going because of the VISIT WWW.BLUESITES.ORG)

Just my $.02

Thanks Keyser
I've removed the Javascript, so now everyone can see where they are going.
And removed a link that was going to my other site.

Anything else?

Looks really clean.
Nice series of pix.
Don't put too many pix ona gallery.
I found that just by putting 10-15 gets better traffic.
I guess it gives the visitor a little bait and makes them wabt to see more.
Sometimes less is better.
Did you have a counter on that gallery??
Can't remember.
If not, it's a great idea to have one.
That way you can see were all your traffic is coming from. Then be able to concentrate on that site.
Really nice though.

If you do use a counter, SexList has a great free one. But when you're getting 100,000 hits a day, surfers DO click on your counter. There may not be hundreds of clicks, but they add up over time. I use PayCounter at http://www.paycounter.com because they provide a counter + track referrals + track search engines if you're listed in them + they pay you $.05 per click.

Not bad making money off your counter! When you do post to a TGP make sure to read the rules. It would suck to get your domain banned.

And what paparoach said, 10-15 is a good number. I used to post 20, but now I show only 15. And if you're paying for bandwidth, 15 is much cheaper than 20 or 25! I see that your pics are optimized too. It's always great to have them 30k or under. Mine are currently 12-16k optimized and they look good still.

Paycounter is really great.
I'm getting hits to it.
I was'nt expecting any.
I only get 20-30K a day from galleries.

Looks like a great gallery to me! I'd give it a top spot. (I'm not very big, but I'm picky as hell)
