Actually, it's hard to find niche specific tgps for Gay traffic ... I suggest you start here for tgps in general

http://www.beadultwebmaster.com/best-tgps.html

and also places like www.outster.com -- click to their tgp's page and go through the top 100 to find those that fit your nices and actually accept submissions.

Thanks Bec !

I guess i should re-phrase my question. Which TGP's have people on GWW have had luck with in increasing their traffic and sales - I know there is a lot of variables that play into it as well but just in general.

Ok, I've only been playing around with TGPs for a week now. But, I have to say it, I've become a TGP snob.... There, I admitted it.

I don't know WHAT in the heck is up with these huge TGPs making you post the most ugly ads ever created as recips. I just can't bring myself to do it.

I spend a lot of time making my pages look nice, and to just trash them with these banners that look like they were made by a 4 year old, URGH!!!!

A note to those that run large TGPs: Please PLEASE have a nice button for recips. If you're not good at graphic creation, that's cool, spend $25 to have someone that is make one for you.

Urgh, that freshloads.com banner, URGH!

Not as current as it could be, but an excellent place to start.

JustMe - the reality is that if its ugly it gets attention...but who cares, if they need a recip button then put one on and get over it! Its part of the game and if you are going to play you have to play by the rules.

edk - there are thousands of TGPs out there, if you want to figure out the best tgp's for you, pretend you are a surfer and go to google or yahoo and type in your terms, then take note of the sites that come up tops and go from there

cheers,

You can also find a good listing of TGPs here..

http://www.gaywidewebmasters.com/gay...Gallery_Posts/

In addition, there are several articles and tutorials in this section of GWW..

http://www.gaywidewebmasters.com/gay...rces/Articles/

That pertain to a wide range of TGP topics such as automated submissions, working out how much traffic you actually get, submission management an even building galleries :)

edk,

Unofortunately, finding good TGPs is kind of a subjective thing. I've found that some people here will recommend a TGP as sending awesome traffic, but with my stuff, I get nothing or very little.

I spent weeks submitting to TGPs that basschick said she didn't very well with, but my galleries and my sponsors didn't do so well. Maybe my pictures weren't as clear or as big, maybe I was using over-exposed sponsors, maybe she has better partner accounts and got higher rankings, maybe she wrote better come-on text, maybe her galleries were posted on days when half the planet hadn't had sex for three days so they were really horny.

What I'm trying to say is that there are so many factors that go into making a good TGP gallery and getting it accepted and getting traffic.

The kind of traffic you get of course is directly related to how much traffic an overall TGP gets. But you may just want to start of submitting to a bunch, checking to see if you're getting accepted, checking your logs to see if you're getting traffic. I kept extensive lists. And if after a few submissions I wasn't seeing anything, I'd drop a TGP from my list. As I found others I thought looked good, I tried them out.

Good luck

The only problem with this, is that some of us have backlogs of submissions. The galleries I reviewed last night were submitted to me about 3 weeks ago, for example.

So why is it then that you have to have their banner up before you submitt your gallery and it's taking up to 3 weeks to get posted. hmmmm

because you can't change a gallery after it's submitted to most tgps or the scripts delete it. this is done because a lot of people who change their galleries after submission add popups and stuff.

besides, in the old days, guys who wouldn't add a button to a gallery before they submit wouldn't add it after, either. and considering that the average recip sends maybe 25 - 50 hits, and the average tgp sends over 1000 hits, it doesn't seem unfair...

In reality, you can blame every rule on tgps on the cheaters that caused them to be.

Aside from that, getting listed on a tgp is a privilege, not a right (unless you pay for the listing). It is free traffic in exchange for fresh content for our surfers. Give and take. Both parties benefit, but it's the tgp owner that has to deal with his/her computer being attacked daily by cheaters and their dirty tricks.

In your spare time, you should create a tgp, just so you can see the other side of the fence. Start up costs can be as little as the domain registration.

I also submit, so I'm aware of the issues that face the submitter, but as I get the hits to my galleries, I am thankful for the free traffic, and aware that my not cheating, and creating a reputation as a good submitter has helped to bring me the free traffic. :)

And because it's their TGP, their traffic, you want it, it's their rules. They've got so many people submitting galleries that, once they're established, they can pretty run the show the way they see fit. And that's cool, if we don't like it, we can always go get traffic somewhere else.
