TGP Help

[Dzinerbear]

Hi all,

I'm working on setting up a TGP and I'm hoping some people can help me with these settings in Auto Gallery. Do I want them or not? Why? I appreciate any feedback.

Have the gallery scanner's thumbnail count override the submitted thumbnail count?

Reject the gallery if there is no reciprocal link?

Automatically increase the weight for galleries that have a reciprocal link?

Reject the gallery if it is using the same HTML as an existing gallery?

Reject the gallery if it does not meet the minimum download speed?

Reject the gallery if it's content does not meet the minimum size requirements?

Reject the gallery if it exceeds the maximum external link count?

Reject the gallery if it does not have 2257 information?

Have the blacklist be transparent to the gallery submitter?

Require general submitters to enter a submit code for gallery submission?

Require partners to enter a submit code for gallery submission?

Use dictionary words for the submit code instead of random characters?

Partner account requests must include hosting company?

Partner account requests must include main content provider?

Do not reset click counts and counters on permanent galleries when rotated from holding?

Make sure no duplicate gallery URLs are submitted?

Prefix single digit thumbnail count values with a zero?

Submitters must provide a text description of their gallery?

Submitters must provide their name/nickname?

Automatically approve galleries after being scanned and confirmed?

Thanks
Michael

I personally dont require recips on mine, because if you ever get low on galleries and encourage webmasters to submit to you, its easier when they can submit no recip galleries.
Adding recips to galleries they already have out there is a pain in the butt.
And no recip galleries look cleaner

Plus you can lift some form other tgps without them getting rejected by your own script.

But its up to you, I dont think it makes that much of a difference

This have to be changed to:
Require general submitters to enter a submit code for gallery submission? - Yes

Require partners to enter a submit code for gallery submission? - No

If you have partners to submit, I think you will make it them easy as possible.
And general submitters should enter a submit code.

Reject the gallery if there is no reciprocal link?
depends. you'll get a better pr with more recips aimed your way but you'll get more submissions if you don't require a recip.

Automatically increase the weight for galleries that have a reciprocal link?
might as well.

Reject the gallery if it is using the same HTML as an existing gallery?
probably not

Reject the gallery if it does not meet the minimum download speed?
sure. i have seen issues with this but generally a good idea.

Reject the gallery if it's content does not meet the minimum size requirements?
yes. your surfers don't want crap. be reasonable about the minimum size, though.

Reject the gallery if it exceeds the maximum external link count?
yes, but be reasonable.

Reject the gallery if it does not have 2257 information?
that's really a personal decision.

Have the blacklist be transparent to the gallery submitter?
sure.

Require general submitters to enter a submit code for gallery submission?
yes

Require partners to enter a submit code for gallery submission?
yes

Use dictionary words for the submit code instead of random characters?
yes - sometimes it's hard to read the submit codes, sometimes impossible. if you use a real word, us submitters can usually work it out.

Partner account requests must include hosting company?
only if you know most of the hosting companies and their reputations.

Partner account requests must include main content provider?
well, this could be a way to keep theives from posting but i expect that theives lie.

Make sure no duplicate gallery URLs are submitted?
yes

Submitters must provide a text description of their gallery?
only if your tgp uses text descriptions rather than only categories or only thumbs.

Submitters must provide their name/nickname?
sure. it helps keep track of everyone.

Automatically approve galleries after being scanned and confirmed?
no, or you could end up with galleries listed that you wouldn't post.

I am glad to see that some of you do not like all these rules, I personally am sick of sites with long listed of rules that can not back it up with traffic. If you want to be a link nazi, you had better have a huge amount of traffic to provide in exchange. Keep in mind that 95% of rule oriented sites are not worth the time to even send your sites too, I sent sites to places gain good traffic and sales. I would try to build up the traffic, you send to each of the listing before I started in with the rules. It is rather insulting to me, that you think you can set-up a new site with out really any real traffic at all, and then act like you have the gold key to the crapper. I have said it before and I will say it again, viewers want big numbers of sites from a wide range of webmasters. If you are trying to limit what webmaster can make from submitting sites to you, to improve your sales, you are sure to fail, and might as well not take submissions at all. Just make your own sites and be done with it, that way you can control everything about them. :jasun:

Sorry I should have not made it sound like “you” are going to adopt all the rules, it just does piss me off to even see a long list of possible rules. Most TGP sites have almost worthless traffic, if you want people to spend time sending you their work I would suggest have less rules that others sites not more. When I see a site with a long list of rules first thing I think is that its not worth my time to play with them, and that the amount of traffic they can generate would not be worth my time. :honest:

hijacking another thread so it's all about you, you, you again?

the truth is there's a good reason for most of those rules, and the sites that send the best traffic and most sales usually have bunches of them. i'm happy to follow whatever rules make me $$$.

[maxpower]

Well this thread is about his possible new rules right? He can do what ever he wants, but really most people are not going to jump though to many hoops for a new site with no real traffic, I am sure a few sites with long lists of rules might be ok to send sites to, but that’s is the exemption not the rule. In fact I could not name one rule oriented site that has more traffic that the top 10 sites “that oddly do no have more than about 5 simple rules” I am not trying to hijack anything and will drop it, I think we have all seen enough drama in the past few days. I just wanted to put in my .02$

Aaaaw don't be so harsh about him - it's just 3 out of nine posts (including this one) which he wrote - other threads have like 9 /10 of his posts - guess this guy is working soooo hard he took off for like 3 months and is posting ever since...

And yes - the rules make sense otherwise JMSoft would not've implemented the options.

My TGP rules guarented me a high level of qualtity on my TGP. Also I approve all galleries manually (also of most partners). My visitors get what they like to see and this converts into sales.

We have rules and I feel that newbies need them to learn the ropes.
1. Only Submit Gay Photos And Videos. No Bisexual, She-male Or *********** Content Will Be Allowed.
2. All Content Must Be Owned By You, Or Licensed To You From A Trusted Affiliate.
3. No Child Porn, Under Age Guys, Incest, Rape Scenes, Scat, Piss Or Other Things That Will Annoy Our Visitors.
4. No Pop Ups, Consoles, Blind Links, Exe. Files, Iframes, Dialers Or Scripts For Automatic Bookmarking. No Redirecting Of 404 Traffic Of Any Kind.
5. No Pages Hosted On Free Servers Or Pages On The Same Domain As Other THUMBNAIL GALLERY POST. (If You Need Hosting For Your Galleries Contact Us, We Can Work Something Out.)
6. You Must Submit A Minimum Of 10 Pictures Or 4 Good Size Videos! Your Page Must Have More Content Than Banner Ads.
7. Do Not Submit The Same Page Twice. Make A New Page If You What To Resubmit. You Can Use The Same Design, But With Fresh Content Each Time.
8. No Deceptive Advertising Such As Banners That Look Like Thumbnails Or Text Links That Say "Next Page", "Gallery 2", "Home".
9. To Be Approved You Must Have Our Reciprocal Link In Place When You Apply For A Partner Account. Only List Us On A Page With 2 or 3 Other High Traffic GAY THUMBNAIL GALLERY POST


Then I have rules for the type of thumb nail I like to see.
just my 2 cents

[maxpower]

And the URL of your “High Traffic GAY THUMBNAIL GALLERY POST” is? :honest:
