ATTENTION: Sponsors w/ Hosted Galleries - READ THIS
 

Hosted galleries have become extremely popular. I don't know of many TGP owners who don't use them. In order for us to import them into our scripts, we need them formatted a particular way. Usually this involves a pipe-delimited format such as:

#of pics|URL|Description

The way galleries are listed in most affiliate areas isn't really TGP friendly. You should have a way for webmasters to export a text file in any format they choose. This should include the # of pics or videos, description, and URL. I guarantee you'd see more webmasters using the hosted galleries and in turn would see more signups.

While hosted galleries are nice, I don't have time to go through hundreds of galleries, make accurate descriptions, count content, etc so I just don't use many of them. Help us out a little here.

Interesting

I agree.... even if sponsors couuld just block them up so we could copy and past them I can ad my own piping.. but having to grab them one by one is a pain and takes forever. When I see what a pain in the as it is.... we added a text block so people can grab anything we have in 5 seconds and be done with it.

Very good point :)

I agree too... (and yes use the number|url|description format:winkwink: )

I second this motion


And while you are at it, add Epassporte payout and console-free links

Over the years sponsors are aving to do more and more work, and publishers less and less.

check out juicycash's url generator:Graucho

And they want higher payouts too lets not forget.
Oh well time to make a bunch of text files as per request.

Shouldn't it be that way? Why would I promote someone who makes me do all the work myself over someone who does it all for me. After all, I'm the one with the traffic that they want.

One of the great benefits of joining SoulCash is our EZImport Text Files that work well with all TGP software. Hit me up so can go over the program with you.

Juicy knows because he runs a TGP. Smart man. :thumbsup

Interesting indeed

I'm working on this issue right now for Meatcash. My biggest question with this is what fields are most common? Should I just put them all, url|category|number of thumbs|description or are there other fields that users have that need to be addressed?

Oh and http, we already have console free links and are in the process of setting up the epassporte payouts.. :Graucho

Check out StupidCash . We just added this option a few days ago :banana :banana

And have all banners zipped for easy download


And give affiliates a temporary pass to all sites that can be auto-activated by the webmaster from within the affiliate area

Question for the TGP gods:

Would some sort of xml page work? ie: a page that self updated itself when a new gallery and description is entered into our system?

and is the following format: #of pics|URL|Description going to satisfy all or most of the Gods?

Cheers,

The ideal solution would be to let the user specify the format. I wrote one for a sponsor that lets you define the format using these tags:

%URL% - Duh
%COUNT% - # of pics or vids
%SDESC% - Short description
%LDESC% - Long description

So in a form field I could enter

%COUNT%|%URL%|%LDESC%

and all of the galleries would be displayed in that format. I also added dropdowns to select pic or vid gals, which site, tour, and gallery template. That was definitely the best solution.

How much for such a script since you wrote one?

yup:Graucho

btw if anyone missed that url is was

JUICYCASH

Probably not since there isn't a standard format for importing the galleries. It would help some of us that can script, but it would still be better to be able to format the file any way we'd like.

I did it as more of a favor to a friend. If I had the time, I'd do it for you. Any programmer should be able to do that for less than $100 though.

This is a business. Not a 1970's community household where we are supposed to "share the work equally among us".

Affiliates send traffic. Let's not forget that part...

Is that JUICYCASH or JUICY CASH ?

JUICYCASH......LOL

sorry for the spam:1orglaugh

While you are at it build a -hot linking- thumbnail import template like the one at remote thumbs. I dont want to host the pics. You might as well start now cuz the ones who get it done first will have the jump on it.

It's not spam if you're talking about JUICYCASH .

Yeah i got that already in Juicy Cash you can format output anyway you want

A pipe-delimited format or some csv format would be awesome.

Thanks for the direction, A&H.

We just launched our own free hosted "member" galleries, and I'd love more feedback. I want to make these as useful as possible to our promoters, and as TGP-friendly as we can. Descriptions will be live next week. What else would you like? I'll consider all requests and commit to delivering whatever consensus demands.

It will NOT satisfy me. I need them has follows:
url,description,#of pics
notice the comma(,) instead of the pipe(|).

Who will be first to provide hotlink thumbs for the FHG?

Some already have it :Graucho

Good advice. :thumbsup

NastyDollars, pay attention. :winkwink: :thumbsup

I agree there is way more than one format... You need to be able to have a script that the user can pick the format and the ability to pick , or | (not that the last part really matters as it's easy enough to just use notepad and use find and replace.. but what the hell if you are writing a script might as well include that option as well.

The other thing that really gets me is when a sponsor has several templates with the same content and just dumps them all in the same list. I have to then import them all and then go through and visit each URL and delete the templates I don't like, so I'm not showing duplicates of the same content every day.

Reality cash has a tool to choose the format :Graucho

part of th Nats

cuz http://www.sunnysmoney.com/?ref=19 has that feature as well.

They probably won't. Too bad...


Anyone has descriptions for all the 3000 ND galleries, I am buying

Ditto.

Very good post, Armed & Hammered.

We write custom text descriptions for TGP owners for their FHGs and one thing that is becoming evident is that SPONSORS should also offer at least FIVE differing text description sizes for their FHGs.

2 words

3 words

25 chars

35 chars

40 chars

45 chars

52 chars

55 chars

55 chars +

We can write these and also provide them in the data pipe or || format.

Another thing. Please STOP reusing the same content for the same FHG (ie., same pics but differing URL). It only hurts the affiliate.
