Hello, Newbie With A Few Questions

Thanks for your reply Robert. I have been trying to decide all night whether or not to just dump the fake TGP site. It kinda breaks my heart because I've been pouring all my spare time into it.

There seems to be a very negative aura around the fake TGP's. It seemed logical to me though to cut out the middle-man, submissions, review process, spammers, cheaters, etc (the list goes on & on), and just make a straight-up sight that hosted all my own content. Time is something I don't have a surplus of and this method seemed to be more efficient. The issue is of course, as always, traffic.

I have always liked the approach of using a combination strategy as you suggested... I will sleep on all this tonight and perhaps have a bit more clarity tomorrow

Thanks again for taking the time to respond

Chris

If you get your system in place, flesh out your design, and make things real easy to update and move on, you can keep your fake tpg, let it slowly build, and still pursue other ventures.

Think of it as diversifying your investement portfolio.
