Unfortunately Labret is totally right on with this. There are people happy to make $20 a day here and soon there will be 100 million Chinese webmasters happy to make $20 a month (and with stolen content ).

The bottom will be very very deep.

well free porn is never going away so that can't change but paysite's can change by offering better and better porn. full length video's still are not free anywhere except Kazaa/usenet.

Dildozer 08-28-2002 01:17 PM

people don't need full lenght videos to get off. All they need is a movie post that post some good, short clips.

This is depressing, I think i'll add 100 more galleries tonite.

Pornwolf 08-28-2002 01:34 PM

Just my :2 cents: here...

I agree with the free content from the sponsors being softer core. I think Oliver Klozoff has it just about right.

I think TGP's should focus more on having their own softer-core galleries on the sites. I don't think they should have to make them all though. More companies like Diabolical and hopefully many others should come with the revshare gallery plan. This gives gallerymakers a certain amount of accountability and ensures that super hardcore is kept off the galleries but also keeps the quality of each gallery high. Of course sharing the revenue with the tgp owner is also a major selling point. That should have been done a long time ago.

It would then be a wonderful world.

No one would have to sift through thousands of BS cheating galleries. Everybody shares the wealth & conversions increase dramatically. Traffic can also still be traded.

none can beat me when it comes to free porn

Que? 08-28-2002 04:04 PM

I review paysites for a guidesite and the mayority are worse than the your average tgp's not even speaking of updates.....
The content providers could have stricter license agreements to keep some value in the content but they seem to be doing the oposite....

I agree. I have used the non-hardcore pictures approach and it does get a better response when it comes to conversion.

I also agree with the idea of allowing html pages with a banner above and below the full size picture. It only makes sense. The people posting the pictures need to have as many places to recoup the bandwidth cost they encounter from the post.

I don't know if i agree with this, there are too many ways to cheat with html pages. Now a script would need to check 20-30 html pages instead of one.

also, here is a sample gallery i've come up with...

Little thing called a referring url. Plus if you tell people their account will get shut down for sending tgp traffic it might have some small effect.

This, sadly, is true. The irony of course is that if all affiliate programs boycotted tgp traffic they would loose sales for a month or two and then after that their sales would increase exponentially to the point where they would be making 20 times as many sales as they are now. I just laugh when I hear people whining about how there's too much free porn around because of tgps. The people doing the whining are the ones who created the problem to begin with and are too stupid to see how easy it would be to end it if they actaully wanted to. Unfortuantely for all of us people tend to prefer to whine rather than actually do anything productive.

Even though this statement has some sense to it, I don't think affiliate programs will ever ban TGP traffic. The solution is to work on a new standard for TGP content as to where giving away a bunch of free hardcore content would be as taboo as spamming GFY on your first post.

No one said this idea will take off tomorrow, next week, or next month. But for all of us who are young in this business and plan on doing this for the next decade or two, we should consider taking small steps towards increasing the value of our content and services.

Exactly & you will find that rule came down from the biggest of the tgp's. Unfortunately most tgp's follow the rules of the biggest tgp's....like learning how to fish from dad. Only problem is, dad learned how to fish when the fish were all over, now your stuck with a polluted river, & your fishing with the same out-dated techniques.

And only one big tgp needs to do it to set the wheels in motion. Go ask the hun to do it & watch everyone fall in line.

But he won't do it...not until his 2million uniques a day end up costing him money. And that won't be for another 2-3 years atleast.

Best way is to stay out of the fucking TGP business if you can't convert its traffic. :2 cents:

We all know there's not gonna be any change in concept. Imagine Hun taking the step to show less hardcore / censored pics / lower quality / etc. A month later, he will have lost 5 Mio. surfers a day, because Pierre decided to keep his sites in the shape they've been in years.

As I said, just stay out of it, and don't complain about conversions.

A listing with one of them back in the days no doubt got you many sales whereas a listing now may only get you a few sales. Its simple as this, the name HUN or AL4A are synamous with big TGP traffic but conversions are defintely not what they were in 98.I get lots more sales with a select bunch of smaller TGP's with targeted traffic than wasting my money ona paid listing and burning bandwith. If you dont liek the tactics a certain tgp is using,start your own. Surfers are getting smarter every day and if webmasters arent smarter than the surfer then they dont make any money:2 cents:

This isn't an issue of whether to mess with TGP traffic or not, it's the fact that a large target market is lost because there is a greatly diminished demand for a product, because it's being served up on a fuck'n silver platter for free. I'm just proposing that we take steps to regain some of this market, use the traffic that TGPs already have and turn it into something more valuable. Why does the Hun blacklist certain sponsors from being promoted on galleries he lists, because they contain too many pop-ups and such. Now look at the sponsor, why is he throwing extra pop-ups at the surfer, because the value of the traffic keeps diminishing as more free hardcore content is pumped into the marketplace. If you don't want to participate in the development of an idea, that's fine. I'm not preaching the new commandments of TGP, just giving people some solid thoughts to play with and develop.

pr0 08-29-2002 12:09 AM

And equinox is right....if you can't convert or make something happen, then don't fuck with it.

Walmarts not going to raise prices to even competition with joe blows :1orglaugh

pr0 08-29-2002 12:12 AM

All business is slash & burn...

Just like during the civil war...once you take over a town (or a market) you flood it with shit, or you burn it.

Until your the last man standing

So you can either find some new way to compete, or you find a different business to get into.

Whatever anyways i really don't give a fuck :1orglaugh

As far as I am concerned the important battle right now is to do exactly that for streaming content. Fortunately many people have at least partially learned their lesson. Free pics will matter less and less as streaming content becomes the only thing that will retain actual paysite members. TGP's will increasingly become the domain of people who won't/can't pay for porn anyway or don't have access to a broadband connection. Eventually they will die of obsolescence, but if free streaming gets out of control we're all screwed, so please folks, don't let it happen!

the same is as life is on the streets.One thing I have learned abotu this buisness is that it is definitely greed powered( the more money you make the more you want to make)...I dont think its human nature for any one of us to ever be satisfied in life. I know personally I try to make at least 1.5x of whatever i made that period. Money ,Power,Respect..didnt Biggie teach you anything!!!:1orglaugh

I absolutely hear ya. I would be among the first to build only softcore galleries, only showing little or no pink at all. But the problem I'd face would be that no (or few) TGPs would even accept me - and if I started to even censor out pussies - that sure would improve conversion, just cuz the horny surfer wouldn't get what he's love to see. But guess what. Neighbor Joe, who tried to make the quick buck or two, decides to fuck the ongoing movement and builds 50 pic hardcore, almost paysite quality galleries, makes them nice and neat, opens his own TGP with free pink, and voila - here we go again.

No use in evolving anything. :2 cents: You know it will fail. Best thing you can do (which I'm trying to do myself), is step away from the TGP traffic and introduce something new, fresh and hope it'll make you the $$$ you wish you had.
