When is it safe to change your gallery? - GoFuckYourself.com

Nedder · 03-24-2002, 12:00 PM

I have several galleries that I submitted 6-8 months ago which have been Googled and have top 10 placement for their respective keywords. These galleries were ultraclean with 1 textlink out and are getting good amounts of SE traffic now and I'm seeing decent conversions.

My problem is this. I think I could revamp those pages to really take advantage of the SE traffic but I don't wanna screw up my relationship with the TGP's as a @#$@ing gallery changing cheater.

I check my referrers often and I still get the occasional TGP archive hit, but they are very few and far between. Anybody got any ideas?

Well, I personally keep my submissions up for around a week.

That doesn't help now, does it?

dont the words 6 to 8 months ago, answer your question?

Nedder, you should be in the clear

>>dont the words 6 to 8 months ago, answer your question?<<

Depends. I'm currently submitting daily and getting listed, daily. I don't want to risk this by changing my old galleries but I also want to take advantage of what I have.

Its called a dilemma, a quandary. I want to 2 birds in the bush, or something like that.

Can anybody who has done this shed some light? Can any larger TGP owners let me know if they even care?

You can change out banners and text links on them anytime as long as you don't send any links to pop up h*ll or add blind links etc. We did it all the time and even emailed some tgp's to tell them and their response was: follow our rules and we don't care about what you change as far as the advertising. They realize that the banner you THOUGHT was great might s*ck so change it!

We get them spidered and all we change is the ads etc. Leave the pics up forever and just keep going with others.

BTW, the old man has never been blacklisted, from 1995 on going this way. We do NOT however change the actual site advertiser, just the banners or texts.

Ive encountered the same problem lately with TGP owners and rejected galleries. Not quality issues, silly issues like graphic being optimized for 1028X768 instead of 800X600...

Say "Joeys Realm says my thumbnails arent good enough quality" but the Hun lists my gallery, but since "Joeys Realm" is backed up, they take like a week to get back to you, by then the gallery is listed on 2 other tgps, now I get a decline letter from Joey....

Ive never known what to do in this case and have always said fuck it, just leave the damn recip to the declining tgp anyway, to avoid blacklisting...

As long as you leave the pictures, redesigning the gallery probably isn't that big of a deal. Some TGPs do have a script that detects any change in a gallery and deletes that gallery automatically...but I doubt if you would get blacklisted for changing an archived gallery...probably just deleted.

beemk · 03-24-2002, 01:37 PM

why not ask the webmasters of the tgp's its listed on instead of us? im sure they would be glad to help you. its better to be safe than sorry.

SykkBoy · 03-24-2002, 07:33 PM

just add a redirect javascript or htaccess for anything coming from the search engines ;)))

now way man,,,, don't listen to them,,,

when you change the page then your listing may drop out of the SE listing,,,,,

your best bet is to leave it alone,,, if ain't broke then don't fix it,,,

what you should do is gather all your galleries and link them onto one page and let the SE's spider thru them also

Changing the .htaccess to redirect surfers coming from SE's - wou;d this affect your SE postioning? How do you do this in .htaccess?

hyper · 03-25-2002, 12:24 AM

if it's 6 to 8 months old, folks probably forgot those banners your using.

Don't change a thing, by changing sponsors, you may actually lose your position.

redirecting has it's good and bad. the good is, it works well, the bad is, you have to stay informed. one little slip could get you banned.

Maximum 120x60 button and no more than 3 text lines of DEFAULT SIZE and COLOR. Unless your sig is for a GFY top banner sponsor, then you may use a 624x80 instead of a 120x60.
