just got email from thumbzilla, but can't get one thing in their 'rules'

--------------- cut ----------------
5) One of your banners must be a Thumbzilla sponsor's (advertiser) banner
with its corresponding text beneath it. We are not talking about the
Thumbzilla reciprocal button...that is covered in rule #14. The Thumbzilla
sponsor (advertiser) banner must be placed in a good spot on the page,
either immediately above your thumbs or immediately below them. Bury the
banner, and of course we will bury your gallery ;-) You will find those
banners here.
--------------- cut ----------------

I was always more than happy with the quality of Zilla's traffic and preferred submissions thingy is pretty good too.
But putting a banner with their ref code on the gallery with my content, my design, on my server... That seems to much for me

Maybe i'm wrong in understanding this point? I hope i'm

btw i've emailed Nelvac about this of course, here i'm just asking ur opinion.

peace out

Same way mark's is. If you want the traffic, follow the rules.

spacedog · 12-09-2001, 08:34 PM

I'm sure that'll go REAL WELL with certain sponsors..
Let's say I am using free ars content to promote ARS site & I place zilla's banner to lightspeed site..Now ARS is gonna ban me from their webmaster program...
I'll stay away from that type of tgp..
I can get traffic that'll be more productive from the SE's & link lists

Use the regular submit and you won't need to place a sponsor banner.

GTS Mark · 12-09-2001, 08:52 PM

Hmmmm I was approved as a preferred submitter and then after a week or so of submitting I was cut off. They didn't even give me a reason why? And when I e-mailed Nelvac to find out why my preferred submitter status was declined he never responded?

Weird? Oh well my galleries are good and others will list them so that is their loss.

well, it's not a big deal for me to have a gallery with their ad for their traffic.
but i will need time to make a special version with that banner and i don't like the idea that i have to host it.

other from that - i can understand. TGP can barely make any money from semi-targeted traffic that goes to galleries.
move is pretty good, but from gallery builders it's on the edge.

hmm?

I understand you are talking about your galley listing with Thumbzilla. However he is not the first to do this.

But because of what you called this thread I thought you were talking about something like this: http://bbs.gofuckyourself.net/board/...ML/013990.html

You guys are nuts if you are actually gonna put someone else's sponsor banner on YOUR gallery and YOUR bandwidth just to get a listing. What the fucking point of geting it listed if you're putting money in someone else's pockets? Why not just send him the money and save the both of you the trouble of making the gallery, reviewing the gallery, listing the gallery, and burning the bandwidth? Just send him the fucking money and get it over with.

Fuck THAT.

My response to such an email would happily be... "In Hell mutherfucker."

the 1st results r pretty good

Super Sonic · 12-12-2001, 05:08 PM

I have to agree with Amp on this one. Not for Zilla's traffic.. Noooo thanks... Any TGP that blind links the surfer in the first few gallery links is not worth your time to go out of your way to get listed.. Trust me...

aleck · 12-12-2001, 05:13 PM

i trust only my bank. they say zilla's traffic is ok.

really, run a test for yaself...
