After summer slowdown?
 

I've been submitting galleries now for about six months. Once a day every day (except for two weeks in August when I was scared shitless by the new 2257 regs.) since April. I use RevShare hosting and my favorite sponsors are Nasty Dollars, Silver Cash, and Traffic Cash Gold along with a few others. My galleries are always clean and look better than most that I have seen. I have about 200 partner accounts and submit to between 300 and 500 TGP's a day. I have had galleries posted on The Hun, Persian Kitty, The Thumbnail Post, Marks Bookmarks, Nasty Rat, etc... I didn't start making any sales until June. I made 10 sales that month, 7 in July, 6in August, 4 in September, and 2 in October. Notice the trend? I was excited in June and figured that my sales would only increase as I gained experience, increased my traffic, and got through the summer slow down. Now in October I am thouroughly discouraged and can't figure out what is going wrong. I was listed on The Hun yesterday and got about 1 trillon hits and zero sales. Begining in August I started submitting more movie galleries and they don't seem to do very well for me at all. What gives?

I have indexed my galleries at shellysparxx.com if you want to have a look and critique me.


Thanks for letting me get that off my chest. I feel better now.

It's just the name of the game in TGP, keep looking for new places to submit, perhaps try some new sponsors - I know Nastydollars & TCG are pretty saturated around the net.

I'm sure if you tried some sponsors with free trials you'd see what submission places are working for you and what aren't!

Perhaps you should start making a freesite a day, to bump up the income.

Thanks for the feedback rigrunner. At the risk of sounding like a newbie (which I am) what do you mean by "making a free site a day"?

Thanks again!

a free site is a warning page, a main page which links to two galleries of 10 pictures. So basically cut your gallery in half and add two more pages.. Thne submit it to linklists.

try different sponsors, see sig :) They should convert for ya!

Well bump to us and our content..

On another note, october is a yoyo month.. halloween, holidays, long weekends, colder weather.. anything transitional can affect sales. try aiming for more international traffic..
