If you were thinking of putting up a new TGP, what would you choose?

A nice pretty thumb TGP?
or
A basic, no nonsense text TGP?

Magix · 07-20-2006, 01:28 PM

Thumb for sure ;)

BusterBunny · 07-20-2006, 01:29 PM

text filled thumbs.....

Tuga · 07-20-2006, 01:30 PM

Text will be my next TGP.

Quotealex · 07-20-2006, 01:31 PM

A no nonsense text TGP, or a blog with just a thumb per post.

Fizzgig · 07-20-2006, 01:31 PM

I wouldn't do it.

Depends on your approach to managing/growing it. If you wanna grow it fast and base that growth primarily on trading traffic, then thumb. If you wanna grow at a slower, but steadier rate, while optimizing for search engines and relying less on traded traffic, then text would be a much better choice. In terms of ROI, I think a thumb site would produce a quicker profit than a text site, while the latter would be more profitable in the long run.

Yep depends on if you want to grow the site with skim or bookmarkers.

Also a thumb TGP always seems to atract a higher percentage of traffic from crap countries like china, vietnam etc.

Text all the way, no money in those circle jerk thumbs... put $10,000 in of feeder traffic, make back $20... Text will at least get some se traffic if done properly. Use em for link pop.
