Is February a slow month for everyone or just me? Sign ups seem to be way down this month despite more TGP submissions and offers than usual!

1st week was ok 2nd week with Valentines day sucked, now that Vday is over my sales are going though the roof. The past 2 days have been the best all year. BTW what FTP's do you use, and what FTP's do you think are the best?Quote:

I use Cute FTP - haven't used anything else as once I get used to something I tend to stick to it. As I am based on a rather backward Greek island and my connection is often off and on it's handy to have one that resumes broken links!
What publicity tools do you use to advertise your sites? I'm quite new to this (2 years) and would like to know the best ways to get more trafic - any advice?
Luke
Sorry I was distracted I meant FGP what FGP’s are you using to promote your site? I make free sites, avs site, an affiliate program ECTQuote:

Is there a good gay TGP submitter and is FGP something different?
Sorry to ask what might be daft questions!
Luke
"daft" hu lol, well auto submitter from what I know are not a good idea. Good way to get blacklisted and only really crappy sites accept them, I bet that’s one of the problemsQuote:

Thanks for the info - if I get 200 accepted TGPs I get about 2 sign ups!
If I find any useful sites that accept gay pages I'll let you know. I get loads of trafic from Istanboys top list - mainly for my Greek men site but also, strangely, for the others. Must be a lot of Turkish lovers out there who find Istanboys and then decide to switch to stories and other stuff.
Any other sign up boosting advice would be useful!
All the best

it's not the number of tgps you submit to - it's WHICH tgps you submit to.
i used to submit to around 45 tgps and make around 5 sales per gallery. why not post a gallery or 2 of yours here and maybe we can help you figure out what's up with it.
also do you keep track of which tgps actually post your galleries?

Hi
Thanks for the offer to look, here's one (early) example:
http://www.sargonauts.com/tgp3/index.htm
I kind of keep a track of which ones accept as it tends to be the same ones who send the authorisation e-mails every time.
How do I find out the best ones and only sumit to them - I was hand submitting to some (the gay ones) but it takes so much time. I'm not lazy but it is a bit tedious!
L
luke, do you have icq?
If Bass or Lee would share their insight on this subject we could both learn more :( Personally I would love a list of the best and brightestQuote:

Most galleries submitted by TGP Wizzards to my TGP, I reject. It's very seldom that they fit with my submission rules. Also I see, that most of these galleries are posted in the "other" categorie and I am getting tired to change it every time.
I post my galleries by hand and keep track of it, where they are shown. It's a lot of more work, but also much more effective. $$$
All submissions that fit my rules, I accept. So if you want to give it a try you are welcome to post your galleries here:

thanks Lippi - I'll go and give it a try.

hi. you don't seem to be on icq right now, and i'm about to hit the sack.
in a rush - most tgps won't post galleries that don't post series pics. that means 1 model only in one shoot. that giant banner (hpa, really) on your gallery? most tgps - the good ones - won't post a gallery with that, either.
the poker ad will hurt your sales. "See what else you get here" is not good adveritising since you don't tell them where. and your gallery has too many pics and has no particular focal point or flow.

btw, your annual price is WAY too low. $1 a month isn't reasonable. why not offer them at least a $24.95 year? that way you make a little more money...

The price was/is low for the first year of opperation but it's been 12 months now so maybe it is time for an increase.
Many thanks again and sleep well!

Let me put it to you this way, I don't recall ever seeing someone post their personal TGP submission list in public. Not once. That's just the sort of thing you need to research yourself.Quote:

Sales to smaller sites &/or sponsors have dipped quite a bit (been forced to remove links), however overall sales/earnings for February 01-15 are up or better than January 01-15.
What is surprising is how well sales have been on Wednesday or 'Humpday' (hmm, maybe that has something to do with the increase in sales for the weekday). Sign-ups to our sites have increased by 17%.
The sponsor we send traffic to that is doing best over all other sponsors is TopBucks.
