Gallery spots (especially Chokinchicken)
 

I was checking out the prices at chickentraffic and they seem reasonable considering how much everyone says they like the traffic. The thing is, all the comments I found seemed to be talking about using the traffic for CJs and trades. I am wondering if anyone has bought gallery spots with choker. $1/K is not a bad price if it converts well. I figure to make a decent profit at that price you need 5+ signups/100K of traffic. That's 1:20,000 uniques which is not easy (for me) these days.

I am just looking for comments on the productivity of choker's gallery spots. I appreciate any input.

Thanks,

get the best of both worlds and send the traffic to a TGP with your own galleries on the page
:winkwink:

Heh, that would be a great idea except
A) I don't run any TGPs any more
and
B) His regular traffic is 4x as expensive as his gallery spots :)

This might have worked back when I was running Poonannypost and Flaminganus, but now I don't have any "real" sites except porncherry.com which I really don't keep up, anymore.

Spaceace, the most important thing about my gallery spots is that I allow the pics on html pages with the pics linked to the sponsor. And I allow much more banner and text links to sponsors than other tgps do. From my own very carefully studied stats, pics linked to the sponsor will send over 7 times the clicks to a sponsor than a regular gallery will. Granted it is lower quality, but sheer volume more than makes up for this. Plus who else GUARANTEES to send you the amount of traffic to a gallery you pay for? I don't just put the gallery up for a day. My script sends uniques every day until it is paid off.

Hi, Choker,
I read everything on your pages and you are definitely more webmaster friendly. The pics on HTML is cool and, like you said, increases clickthroughs but will it increase signups? I don't know because it's been so long since I made a gallery with pics on HTML pages.

You're right, no one else guarantees a certain amount of traffic and that is a nice feature, but if I buy 50K I would have to turn it into a bare minimum of two signups just to break even and that seems unlikely these days. That's why I was hoping to find people who have bought gallery spots and not just traffic for their link lists and such :)

Bump. Someone must have some information to share on this.

SpaceAce

Buy some, then come back and tell us.

Heh, I've been burned just about every time I have purchased a gallery link somewhere. This time I would like to get the information ahead of time instead of being the guinea pig.

I just started selling these spots like 3 days ago, so no feedback yet. As far as more signups, even my shitty galleries do 1:700 with Nasty Dollars just because the pics are linked to the sponsor. And like I stated on my site, this gets about 7 times the clicks to sponsors than regualr galleries do. I pass all my sponsor traffic thru my own tracking script first, so these numbers I do have proof of as my sponsor script tracks the http referer of every hit I send to a sponsor.

I didn't know you had just started selling the gallery spots. I guess it makes sense that no one can tell me anything.
