need a couple quick answers on bandwidth
 

Could you guys who pay for your own bandwidth and have TGP posting experience give me an estimate here:
(it requires very basic multiplication http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/smile.gif )
I have a tgp page here:
http://www.dailysteam.com/x4f.html
That is very similiar to my average tgp page.
It's size is 7K.
There's about 80K of loading thumbnails and recips. The thumbs link to about 500K worth of pictures.
***Can anyone give me an estimate of how much bandwidth the average user would consumer from this page?

how much traffic per day?

best is to ask your webhost.

shoot for 2-5 dollars per gig dependent on your host plan.
With the weight of your page you can get like 60k in hits a day for about 300.00 to 600.00 a month ball park.. Like I said you need to talk to your host.. I have no idea what your webhost plan is, and how many hits ya get.

It is a huge varation without these factors.

Thanks boneprone, but what I'm really looking for is how much bandwidth would be used for this one particular gallery page. I've already got my host chosen and rates set up, those kinks are already worked out, I'm just trying to figure out how much bandwidth the average TGP surfer would consume from this gallery page.

Aaaaaahh! This is frustrating my post is being misread. Not all 500K of my thumbnails will be clicked on by every visitor!! There's 20 thumbnails, leading to images 25K apiece. Out of those 20 thumbmails, approx. how many will be loaded to the full size pics??

I don't think that a surfer would view every thumb - just the ones they find, er, most 'interesting'.

Figure on about 350k per surfer if you have a page total of 500k

I have 50MB hosting with unlimited bandwidth from my ISP. They don't delete sites ofcourse, even with 100k gallery traffic. And it's fast.

Ok, but what is difficult for me is get traffic to the galleries everyday. I only get decent traffic when submit to The Hun, or only make money when post to him. I think I need a recip-maker and poster program, since all my galleries are clean, with 20-25 pics and only 2 links to the sponsor.

Jer, who is your host that gives you unlimited bandwidth?

Jer,

Please put the blunt down. There is no such thing as unlimited bandwidth http://bbs.gofuckyourself.com/board/wink.gif

Notice that Jer's ISP is in Brazil (where he lives), that might have somethign to do with his free bandwidth.
