When we first started out we spent countless hours maintaining our postings to TGP's. Yes we gained a lot of traffic, but it was for the most part very low quality. Mostly people looking for free porn (duh).

We quickly determined that the time spent (=money) trying to get a terrible conversion rate, could be better spent elsewhere. Perhaps we weren't skilled in converting TGP traffic?

Making our revenue sites better for the member, sending traffic to our other sites, working with affiliates, established directories & search engines, produce at least 20 times the conversion rate of what we saw with TGP's.

Yes we spend a heck of a lot on advertising and paying affiliates, but I don't see us ever going back to TGP posting or ever using consoles...
