I mean the proof is right on the adultlinkweb.com site to show that there's no trickery involved here, but to demonstrate...

Here's a link right out of the index.html (main page) from adultlinkweb.com (you can do a view source on the page if you don't believe me):
<a href="http://coolchicktgp.net">cool chick tgp</a><span class="reportlink"> (<a href="/problem.php?id=12">Report Problem</a>)</span><br/>

Note carefully: it's a regular href direct to the site.

Here's the snipet of XSL code in the main.xsl template that created that link:
<xsl:template match="site">
<a href="{@url}"><xsl:value-of select="@name"/></a><xsl:if test="@desc"> - <xsl:value-of select="@desc"/></xsl:if><span class="reportlink"> (<a href="/problem.php?id={@id}">Report Problem</a>)</span><br/>
</xsl:template>

Here's the site entry in db.xml for the above site:
<site id="12" url="http://coolchicktgp.net" name="cool chick tgp">
<niche>general</niche>
</site>



With all the talk of doing something different on various threads I'm very confused at why my take on doing something different is being met with such confusion (if not resistance) when I am trying to do something that's mutually beneficial: you get a hard link and forced traffic to your site, my list expands courtesy of that link, that encourages people to visit, and, hopefully, they'll visit adultpicweb.com while they're at it. If I can make that any more clear I'd really appreciate your feedback on how.

Oh, it's not at all difficult to understand. What YOU are not understanding is that no one in the link list world wants RANDOM or FORCED traffic. We work on filtiering and honing our traffic to a higher quality than the circle-jerk traffic you are so generously offering to toss randomly at your listings.

I really didn't intend on dedicating this much of my time responding to hobby hour riff-raff, and since you continue to miss the point, I'll not take another stab at the rock under which you must reside. Suffice it to say that webmasters who work long hours builiding, submitting and toiling for their share of the traffic - deserve better.

And by submitting in one location you get both intentionally selected traffic and random traffic. I suppose there are people who will actively go browsing every link in a link list on every link list site (I'm not one to guess about such things) and who will find every porn site on the internet via search engine, but I'm ensuring that your site will get traffic by people just wandering around instead of relying on people intentionally clicking your sites link. Correct me if I'm wrong, but with enough people complaining about traffic (and that there's no such thing as too much) I always thought that more was better? So where is anyone losing? More traffic = more possibility for sales is what I thought the name of the game was.

Since you've never built and submitted a gallery or free site I have serious doubts that I can afford the time required for said discussion.

There's a reason more advanced college courses have pre-requisites. In my opinion, the same reasoning applies here.

Step 1: Build and submit galleries or free sites.
Step 2: Build and run a successful TGP or Link List.
Step 3: Develop TGP or Link List software.

If you don't have the requisite experience yourself, the only other way is to team up and work closely with someone that does.

I'm trying all three steps right now. Steps 1 & 2: Started late last year with AdultPicWeb.com (it's not a screaming success, but it's providing me with a platform to learn from). Step 3 [develop link list software] and the run Link List portion of Step 2: Is where I'm at now. I developed the software that drives adultlinkweb.com from scratch in only a few hours (the portion of it that in any way works off TTT is the portion that dumps the data from the TTT MySQL table [via two SELECT queries] into a custom XML file, but even that part is a script written from scratch).
