Thumbnail Link Lists - Re-Inventing The Wheel Again - GoFuckYourself.com

As adult webmasters are constantly thriving to create the next craze in traffic sources to garner sales from their sites it comes as no surprise that there is already talk amongst the ranks of the next big thing, what is this new idea? The Thumbnail Link List.

Thumbnail Link Lists - Re-Inventing The Wheel.

As the past year and a half have taught us as webmasters, regular TGP's have almost become a thing of the past with more and more thumbnail TGP's being created and submitted to daily, why then, has it taken so long for someone to think up the idea of the Thumbnail Link List? Quite simply I think it has been a case of to much has happened over the last 12 months in the adult industry for webmasters to think this idea up.

So What Is A Thumbnail Link List?

A thumbnail link list is in effect a way of displaying free sites on your own standard Link List by utilizing small thumbnail samples of the images contained within the free sites galleries, in fact, much the same way that a thumbnail TGP works however, instead of only listing single image galleries your link list will consist of links to individual free sites.

Much like the Thumbnail TGP traffic source, the thinking behind the Thumbnail Link List is that by showing your surfers what type of pictures the sites within your link list contain they will be more likely to visit the free site thus improving your CTR to your webmaster submitted sites and, ultimately, your site overall allowing you to manipulate the traffic to garner more sales for yourself as the Thumbnail Link List owner.

Submitting Your Site To A Thumbnail Link List.

Looking at the Thumbnail Link List idea from a webmaster who would be submitting your free sites for listing (and ultimately traffic) how do the rules of the Thumbnail Link List differ to that of the regular link list which we are all used to seeing, well for a start, the main difference will be that you either need to submit a thumbnail yourself or, enter the url to one of your gallery pages in addition to the main entrance to your free site, this will actually be the only significant change in how you operate your link list submissions compared tot he current link list method, however, as each Thumbnail Link List owner will have their own individual rules you should check before submitting as to what is required from you as a submitter.

Thumbnail Link Lists - Overview.

The whole Thumbnail Link List idea is one that, in all seriousness should mean more traffic not only for the submitters of the free sites but, also for the Thumbnail Link List owner themselves, by offering the surfers a preview of the content contained within the free sites they will be visiting they can simply reduce the amount of sites that do not appeal to them and focus more on the sites that do meaning that the webmasters who submit highly niched free sites to the links lists will now be able to benefit from a larger traffic base and ultimately, more sales.

By the way, good article

that idea is not new at all... some lls even use thumbnails on their cat pages already.

however an important factor of the LL game is SE traffic which means CONTENT - not picture but text wise.
No need to give the surfers preview pictures of the content. All I care about are googlebot & co. and they don't need thumbnails to like my site

They said the same thing about thumbnail preview TGPs though ;)

The Linklists are gonna loose lots of SE text on their category pages if they remove the title and description of the fre site and replace it with a thumb, they will still need both IMO

Yeah, but you can still put description on the ALT tag of the thumbs ;)

So it's like a + for the surfer, and you still care about the SE bots ;)

I for one don't like the idea of replacing text linkswith thumbnails in a link list. The goal of a link list isto bring quality traffic not quantity like a TGP...

not really no
I've seen numbers of a thumb tgp at the very early stages and knew that this thing was big. However I do not see any of the big link lists having an interest in putting thumbs on their pages... those are only my asumptions of course.

Maybe you will get some of the big guys to post their comments as well. I stand by what I say. LL's are about text, not thumbs.
I want people to click my premium paysite list when they come from google and yahoo. No need for them to click on thumbs

Exactly.

Guess thats why there are those of us who innovate and those who immitate in the industry as a whole.

Some people just dont get it.

lol
what did you innovate again?
Your "innovation" is none.

Oh and it takes a bit more than "description on the ALT tag of the thumbs" to get good se placements lol

swedguy · 12-14-2004, 08:40 AM

I've thought about it several times and there's one major flaw in it.

What's so good about free sites? SE traffic and LONG TERM traffic.

You get a link from x PR4-6 link lists with "Amateur Anal Sex". Pretty good for SE's, right?
Now instead you will get x PR4-6 thumbnail links instead. How good is that compared to the first example?

Sorry, it doesn't get my vote.

Edit: I guess I should read the thread first. It's been covered already =)

Is that how you justify ripping off your designers?

Why don't you just pay them?
