How do you get more submissions (w/o attracting cheaters)???

go to some good tgp's that list nice galleries and look around for good galleries. then list those on your site at the top of the list (right under my galleries) if you use thumbs make some very nice thumbs and make sure you send as many hits to those galleries as you can.

half the tgp's on my submit list just showed up in my stats. i never submitted to them. but after seeing them in my stats i added them to my list.

I used to do that from time to time, now I have a bulk of sites bookmarked which are clean, and where you can find the next directory for a new gallery (once you've deciphered their naming structure) - but honestly: 300-700 hits from me seem to get lost among the traffic from the big guys! I can name you some 8 or 9 sites where I sent repeat traffic day after day - none of them has come back for a pwd!
I also sent out some emails to webmasters - none of them has come back for a pwd!
On the other hand: some TGPs in my submit list are the ones who re-listed my gallery from a submission to another site...

Not even many of my pwd submitters are submitting, although I know my traffic is not too bad - judging by the sign-ups I get from it! If all my 200+ pwd submitters would submit I'd have no problem; as it stand I'm lucky if I get 30+ submissions, on Sundays 20+
