    Over 400,000hits and ZERO sales

    I am starting to worry about the future for gallery submitters.

    I pay over $1,000/mth in paid partner accounts I get over 400,000hits /day yesterday and I even got listed on thehun at the top of his site and not a single sale.

          Yeah... every month goes by more free sites go paid and the paid accounts get more expensive because of high demand. Wonder when this bubble is going to burst.

                                This means you are doing something teribly wrong!

                                Test out differant sites with differant photos, my friend told me once that he signs up for any site that has good samples of a chic that he likes.

                                  That clickthru ratio is insane. I am lucky to get 0.5% click thru

                                            You have some serious issues with your galleries I would say.

                                                I been doing this for 5years.. There is nothing you can tell me that I don't already know. I do movie galleries.

                                                Anyways I just wanted to share since this paid partner account trend is catching on like wildfaire and there is less money to be made let allone the profit loss from the paid accounts themselves.

                                                          So today you went 0:3000 on TGP traffic? That's bad, but definitely not unusual.

                                                                Anyways I just wanted to share since this paid partner account trend is catching on like wildfaire and there is less money to be made let allone the profit loss from the paid accounts themselves.
                                                                Sorry if you thought I was insulting you I was only trying to help. With this rate something is wrong that's all either your galleries or the sponser. The internet evolves so fast that years of doing something perfect can mean nothing tomorrow, everyday is a new playing field!

                                                                        Time to go back to the drawing board on the gallery design.

The logic went something like .... a cheater won't spend money to get a partner account... and to a cheater that doesn't have much money, that may be true. But some of the biggest "cheaters" around are using this industry to deliver their exploits etc. so they can then use the surfers computer to spam. They're making so much money that spending a few thousand on partner accounts a month is nothing to them.

                                                                          I personally believe that a lot of sites will need to start taking free submissions again as the ROI for submitters decreases. Far superior submission and scanning software would make weeding out cheaters far easier than it is now. I've already noticed some sites that went all FHGs are stopping that practice and starting to take submissions again.

                                                                                                    so most of those hits came from the hun?
