so why bother doing em?

Tempest · 01-26-2005, 07:04 PM

There's another sponsor that has 100s of FHGs and I know myself and others don't use them either. The reasons? They're crap. 98% of the people building galleries forget that their job is to try and sell something. Those that know about selling don't want 16 pics AND a 1 minute clip. They want just a pic gallery and just a MPG gallery. Not combined. TGPs list PIC galleries or MPG galleries. Where the heck are they supposed to stick "combined" galleries

.

This other sponsors galleries have thumbnails on them that are so big that there's no reason for a surfer to actually spend any time on the gallery. They can practically see the full size image by looking at the thumb. If the surfer doesn't spend any time on the gallery, there's less chance of your actual ad text (if you have any) catching their attention and clicking thru.

The reason (as someone else who seems to know what they're talking about said) for 6 - 10 sec clips as opposed to 1 - 1 minute clip is so the surfer doesn't have the time to finish whacking off and goes to join the site to get the full movie.

I like FHGs as "filler" or for "fake" TGPs. But frankly, I'd be much happier being supplied with the content from the FHGs so I could build galleries that actually sell.

Just yesterday I was reading another thread on GFY about FHG's. I think the person was asking how many and how often should you put them up. One of the answers was 60 new FHG's per month so the affiliates had 2 new galleries per day....THAT THEY WON'T FUCKING USE.

There are plenty of options open here apart from ranting on. I think I use a few of them. Pay for submissions to get some traffic flowing. Get better designed galleries this may sound funny but most bigger tgp's are fussy with hosted galleries they list (Thats why there bigger). Just buy gallery spots.
Hire someone to look after all of this for you while you do what your good at.

TheMob · 01-26-2005, 09:31 PM

maybe it's your tag title line that scares everyone off?

Thanks...But when I need marketing advice...I'll ask for it. This thread is about me bitching about people not using FHG's that they have asked for.

Where did I say that traffic was not already flowing? Oh yeah...I didn't.

Thanks for your input.

Yep. Welcome to GFY.

Personally, I was kinda insulted by his "helping out."

Amen to that!

The guys who I can never even get an e-mail reply from within a decent time (they may get back to me in a week) brings in HUGE sales. They don't ask for shit, they don't complain, they just get the money and keep sending those surfers.
