Best way to use TGPs?
 

Hi everyone, so I know that pretty much all affiliate programs provide hosted galleries (hosted by them, not me) and I've been reading here at gfy that TGPs are a pretty good way to get decent traffic.

But I've also read that a lot of TGP sites will reject hosted galleries because so many webmasters wind up submitting the same crap.

If this is true, what's the best way to use the hosted galleries provided by affiliate programs? Just submit them anyway and see who accepts them? Or use them in some other way?

Thanks a lot

Use their hosteds on your own site if you dont have the time to build your own galleries. Make custom ones to submit, always.

Sometimes it's better to launch 5 sites with hosteds than spend the time building 1 site with your own galleries. Especially these days when it's alot harder to build up a quality tgp. (low-no skim)

For a new webmaster, I suggest using hosteds on your own site until you gain the experience. No point in wasting your time with your first or second tgp.

This will also give you the experience needed to determine what is a good enough gallery to submit places.

You've got near zero chance of being able to submit hosted galleries to a true "old-school" TGP. You may have got away with it 8-10 years ago for a bit, but don't even bother trying now. Why not just start your own site? (Or buy one from my sig. :D )

Thanks for the reply Pseudo but you're starting to lose me here... when you say it's hard to build up a quality tgp, are you talking about my own collection of galleries or are you talking about building a TGP site that accepts submissions? I'm not really looking to start a tgp site (sorry Rowan), just trying to figure out the best way to get traffic by using the galleries provided by the affiliate programs.


Sorry, maybe I'm just too new to know exactly what you're referring to with my "first or second tgp". Clarify?

Thanks again

I probably should have titled this post "best way to use hosted galleries" to avoid confusion :/ whoops

i accept them, but you have to pay a nominal fee ...

To answer your thread question, use them as link farms :D

If anyone does submissions regularly and needs content for submissions.
I can supply you with what ya need, even the galleries design with never before submitted content.

Hit me up ICQ or skype:)

I been trying to grapple getting in TGP submissions all the big guys want to be paid for submissions but I am sure there are medium ones that do not charge and take quality submits. SO if you one of those I would love to hear from you;)
