Been thinking on this since I'm building both on a regular basis for various clients ... and the more I think about the traffic that each initially sets up, I think I'd build the Link List first and make a few free sites with a couple galleries each and work those around into a nice hub to start out, and then I'd upgrade the initial link list dot com site to include a tgp.

By doing the link list first, you've setup one marketing/traffic avenue that can help a new tgp get on its feet ... if that makes any sense. And Luke is right, there are lots fewer gay link lists and tgps than in the straight market. You'll probably see less traffic than a straight market type site, but the quality of traffic is much better. And if you really want to optimize and filter that traffic, build a link list/tgp site that caters to a specific niche ... such as bear, or mature, or bdsm, etc.


You can use something like auto gallery pro to handle your submissions, or if you just want to promote free hosted galleries that have your id code, and mix it up with galleries you've made for tgp submission, you can grab a script like Ghostdriver that will auto rotate the links and thumbs and give it the look and feel of a submission tgp but without the hassel of having to approve stuff. All you do is update your database every so often to bring in new links.
