TGP - TGP2: what are the differences ?

Smutferret · 2005-02-16, 05:48 PM

Hiya,

If I recall properly, TGP2 was supposed to be more webmaster friendly and provide less "free" porn for the surfer, thus making the surfer have to go to the sponsor for the real goods. The galleries were supposed to be void of hardcore in most cases and utilize more aggressive advertizing.

I've always felt it was a good idea not to have all my eggs in one basket, so I gave TGP2 a shot, and why not, it was easy to build TGP2 galleries. The big problem I recall with TGP2 was the lack of traffic.

I liked the whole "tease" aspect of TGP2 and personally don't agree with using free hardcore images but without the traffic, you don't have much to work with.

Regards,
SF

Hi OzKaNoz here

What Chop Smith said is pretty much the way it was in the begaining. However, Things have changed a lot over the last few years with Tgp2. Things run pretty smooth now. The rules are a bit different then from when Tgp2 first started and are the same rules we have had for the last couple of years.
The TGP2 rules are as follows:

1. Only galleries with 5 thumbs will be accepted. No more, no less.

2. Only 1 or 2 movies of 10 to 20 seconds in length, no other linked or unlinked thumbs are allowed on a movie gallery.

3. Non-adult free hosting is not acceptable.

4. Do not place any link on a gallery to a site that will not accept TGP2 galleries.

5. Full size images are strongly preferred to be on HTML and can be made clickable to your sponsor.

6. Images should be at least 450 minimum on longest side and free of compression artifacts. Anything less then 400 and your gallery may not get posted.

7. No talking ads.

8. No entry-exit popups, no onload, on unload or redirect tags.

9. o outright misleading links e.g click here for free entry to pay site!! but semi blind Click for Free Porn is fine.

10. No other restrictions on advertising with in reason so long as the thumbs on the main page and the full-size pictures can be seen clearly.

11. Resubmits will be accepted after 30 days. However, if your gallery is still in our archive it will not be reposted.

12. No child porn, bestiality or rape. This is strictly enforced and authorities will be notified.

Pretty simple I think.
It seems that a lot of webmasters view Tgp2 as trying to take over Tgp. Thats simply not true anymore. Maybe in the begaining Tgp2 was trying to do so but not now. There's room for everybody. But we do wish that Tgps would at lease cut back on the amount of pics accepted.
I mean think about, what good does it do to give the surfer 20 pics or so? There just going to bust a nut and then go watch TV. With Tgp2 it's more of a tease.
A lure to get you horny, a lure to get you to sign up with the sponsor.

And it does work. If it didn't I and all of the Tgp2 webmasters wouldn't stuck with it all these years.

Want to find out for yourself? Sure you do! It would be simple to do. Make yourself a batch of 5 pic Tgp2 galleries as per the tgp2 rules and form. Besure to use a good sponsor and put the full sized pics on HTML pages. Buy you some good traffic from a good source and send it to those Tgp2 galleries and or submit them to the Tgp2 gallery Pool and sites.

You will find that your conversion rates will be much higher.

As you can see I still believe in Tgp2 and am still very passionate about it.

Thanks
Oz

Oz is right, if you TGP, why not TGP2. You should tap all sources of traffic available. Just recycle your old tgp galleries by cutting them down to 5 pics and you can get yourself 3 to 4 galleries and submit them to the http://www.tgp2gallerypool.com
Why turn down free traffic?
if you have a domain you arn't using try the http://www.rotateher.com the tgp2 gallery rotation service.

Hmm, I'm a noob, yes you all can tell that by a few of the posts I've made, but I'm also a fairly seasoned mainstream webmaster. Here's my thoughts on TGP / TGP2.

It seems that too much free porn is given away. When I started making galleries and free sites the only thing I kept thinking about was just how much free porn was given away. To me it never made sense that as an adult webmaster you would give enough porn away where no one would sign up. I still feel this to be the case.

With that said, TGP2 seems like what most adult webmasters should be doing...put a cap on the free porn...increase the desire to signup. If you give 30 pics free on a freesite...15 pics on a tgp, and multiply that by the number of webmasters currently producing such things...why would someone join?

I find that the only time I'm converting now is when I'm doing the extreme niche sites...some of which even turns my stomach a bit. The only reason the softcore / teen sites aren't converting is the flood of free porn in this area.

I'm going to try out the TGP2's for a bit...even if it doesn't have as much traffic I do support the general premise of it.
