Is it pretty standard now that tgp's never send surfers to galleries?
 

I was just checking out some tgp's linked from sigs

and god damn, 10 clicks on one and not one gallery, 20 clicks on another and no gallery....is this the new standard?

seems pretty counter productive to me

Skims set way to high just attempting to build sheer daily numbers then maybe they will lower it.

Always struck me as counter productive, fuck em until you have a good number of daily visitors then slow down the traffic to unpiss them off.

Who cares about sales! Are you trying to tell me you're in this for the money? HAH! TRAFFIC is king, don't you know that? Even if they were at my page for a measly 3 seconds, they were still THERE weren't they?

What's the point?

Yeah, the skim's been going up and up for years as people are more interested in building their traffic than their sales.
It's all about the traffic trades.

well - depends - at hosted tgps what i run for LongBucks program traffic without trade id have different options - so depends from recalculation mode it can be sent to galleries - 100% of clicks or 0% will be sent to galleries ;)

sure when webmaster sending traffic with trade id (and valid affiliate id) - here total different picture ;) up to 85% clicks comes to galleries.

I was using 60% on one and 95% on another.

The 60& one is around 4-5k with piss poor bookmarkers. Made 1 sale. Serious, thats 1 sale total. All I do is vent off the excess clicks to my other domains.

The 95% is still 1K but has about 5x as many bookmarkers as the other. Still not doing great on sales, but it's probably the way to go. However, my TGP traffic sucks so bad Im just gonna leave em to rot and then use the domains for something else when Ive got time.

bookmarkers traffic always sucks hard as for me.

What would you all suggest as the Ideal Skim Rate?

Try using hard trades instead of skimming - will be more productive over the long haul if done right - pissed off traffic doesnt buy
If youre doing hosted tgps - there should be no skim as that is just ripping off your WMs

Shemp's tgp is set at the ideal skim rate.

Bookmarkers productivity is usually 300-600% for me :)

if i read tgp somewhere, i never clicked on that link ... tgp is the biggest shit in adult biz ... imho time is going to be over for tgps very soon ... why do have people to come back somewhere where they are only running at redirect hell and never get what they clicked for ... :2 cents:

it not about productivity. it about sales ;)

I have absolutely no clue, I have nothing to do with tgp's, never have, never will

I just know that I went to 3-4 different tgp's, big ones mind you, and never saw one single gallery....somethin ain't right there

hey, look at that, I clicked a link and got a gallery....whodathunk?

yeah but I would have said they were hand in hand?

Clearly someone who clicks on 6 of my galleries for "Selana Spice" has a thing for her, and is eventually gonna sign upto her site. So I'd prefer it if he's coming back to my site every time, as Im likely to get that commission when he does :)

Although granted, my TGP's don't take submissions and I don't have 100k a day on them, so my opinion on this matter doesn't really count for shit lol

He has a 0% skim. Makes surfers rather happy, I'd imagine.

but then again, its uber cool to be able to say you have a 500k tgp!!!!

I'd rather have a 50k wich actually makes some money though.

:thumbsup

You didnt visit my site then ;)
