make friends with tgp ppl and ask for partner accounts.

I've got some guys doing freesites only... link list submissions... one gallery a day to 10 link lists and they're doing 3-5 joins a day... it's in your drive and what ultimately motivates you.
they're not even promoting anything highly niche specific. Hit me up and we'll go over some things that I've observed and we'll see if I can't help you actual turn those clicks into conversions.

it could be as simple as your colors aren't well thought out.

I'd like to see some galleries, too. If you're using a sponsor that everybody else is using you'll see shit numbers like that. Try finding a bunch of smaller sites that you never hear about on GFY. Assume that if they're on GFY then everybody promotes them.

Also, I don't know if you're doing movie galleries or picture galleries. I get much better conversions using movie galleries. Sometimes as much as 4-5 times for the same site promoted!

Also, if you do the small niche stuff, look for the small niche TGP/MGPs as well. They might not have as much traffic as the big boys, but it will convert better for you. Just submit to more of them to get your traffic numbers up.

i dont want to post url's because if someone doesnt like me then they'll get stolen or someone could attack my server or somethintg.
I'm using topbucks for my sponsor. Im using them because I remember diamond jim posting his topbucks check and it was humongous so I thought I should use them too.

im using picture galleries, i never figured out how to edit /mpeg's and a lot of tgps dont take .wmv's.

I won't steal them or attack your server. Contact me on ICQ 302040348 and shoot me a couple urls.

If you're starting out submitting galleries then Diamond Jim has something you don't have, established traffic sources.

You're creating a lot of competition for yourself. TopBucks has tons of affiliates. If you're using their free content too, then many TGP/MGPs won't list you because their content is overused as well.

As far as video editing is concerned X Video Converter is well worth the $30. It does everything you need to do to make galleries very easily (screencaps, converting media, cutting into smaller clips).

I would suggest finding some smaller sites that use third party processors, like CCBill, and promoting those. You'll find that many owners will bend over backwards to help you. Many will even grant you access to their members areas to select your own content for promotional purposes. That way you content will be much more in demand by both the TGP owners and the surfers. That's a win-win situation for you.

it is tough to make $ submitting galleries unless you are the owner of niche paysites and you do your own in-house high volume (10,000 submissions/day) submitting using multiple domains, many different galleries, and multiple IPs. this requires automation, and mind numbing work for an outsourced contractor (RS, etc).

the only way this even makes sense is to put an extra recip on your pages to filiter niche traffic.

and even then this activity will only do maybe $200-300/day in new signups.

if you are a small volume submitter who does not own a paysite(s) i think your time would be more valuable assembling whoppers at BK.

sorry for the truth.

'Its never going to magically happen, you obviously need to change something.

That' was my progress with TGP submitting as well (talking about couple of years back). It was COMPLETE waste of time. I'm sure that there are many guys making good money with TGPs but I'm not one of them. Try different traffic sources, use the GFY search if you have to, there's hundreds of good threads amongst all the bullshit that is posted daily here ;)

just try with new sponsors. try to find someone with nice content...

That's not exactly true. I know plenty of people doing really well on pic and movie gallery submissions promoting programs..
