Your gallery would stand as much chance of getting sales as everyone elses. There are so many factors to getting a sale. Your one gallery could be the one that makes you a lot of money.
The golden rule is build, build, build and submit just as much.
I have a premium account with RR, yes, I get declined occationally, but I dont worry about it. Not now. Same with Worldsex, same with Tommy... need I go on. The declines are part of the business. Its the owners decision to list or not and as soon as I realised this, it made me determined to put out better galleries.
I would definately say submit to RR. What do you have to lose?
I would rather submit and not make any sales, than not submit and wonder if I could have made some.

Also, RR is still one of the few big TGP's still offering a free submit. Besides $35 for the chance to submit a possible 93 galleries in my eyes is great value

Gunncat, those numbers are impressive considering my experience with this site lol. I was promoting mostly teen sites, hardcore and softcore. Are you promoting some other niche (no need to be specific)?

I try to spread my catagories across the spectrum and select my sponsors carefully. I found that niche content works best for me.

Most of my galleries go through and I get some nice traffic, so i think it´s worth it. But there are some problems left:

one is that range rejections happen. my last gallery got rejected because movies aren´t hosted on the same domain. But those movies are not only on the same domain, but even in the same folder. So i sent an e-mail and waiting now for an answer.

second is - and that seems to be a problem of the reviewer - that an approved template which went through before gets rejected by another reviewer, though they tell you in the e-mail you can use that template again.

Wow my eys are burning haha good thread |thumb I have been submitting to Richards since I got started and actually just signed up for the $35.00 account early this month. I am totally happy with the results! Made my money back in the first week. If ya ask me ( and no one did lol) it's well worth it.

But yeah I get denied from time to time and unless the reason is "content to common" I useually resubmit and end up getting approved. I like the fact that whatever the situation you Always get an email if you've been listed or not. This kind of top notch customer service backed up with real traffic that converts makes them a class act in my book.

That's my .02 anyway..... |pimpin

How often are you using the template? If you're using the template too often its bound to get rejected, not only at RR, but probably a lot of other tgp's you're submitting to.

I used the template once before and it got rejected at the second time.

I got an answer to my e-mail soon from David and the problem is solved now. And again: I can´t complain on the traffic. So it´s a good deal, I think.

I've been doing the RR pass since it went live, and I believe every gallery I've sent them has been listed. I know I haven't gotten any decline emails.

That is one of two places that I pay for listings. The other is Free Heaven. Same deal. Listed like clockwork, though there it's only 1 gallery per day.

I've made my money back on both of them, which is why I keep paying them. ;)

GunnCat,

I did the math... The numbers add up to $390.85. Since you submitted 84 galleries, that means you made $4.6 per gallery. Of course, that does not include any recurring members or the sign-ups that did not have referrals.

Based on the $4.6 gallery figure, you will need to submit approximately 8 galleries a month before you start making a profit.

Richards Rocks for me, always has. Hope they always do. If you can't make some bank from getting listed there you might wanna re think your game. That's my .02 anyway lol.

Well the only problem here as well as on WorldSex etc is:
-a tgp owner MUST take his time to write as descriptive rules as possible - about EVERYTHING from templates to contact details of his reveiwers (or some sort of control department which will take care of every case of BS decline). What, how, when can be listed and submitted etc.
-EVERY email from a webmaster who's purchased a PA MUST be replied
-TGP owner MUST follow the rules described above AS CLOSE AS IT CAN BE. No BS deslines will take place if u go this way.

Right on Jan... It does really well. Been subbing there long before also, had fasttrack for about 2 years. Very happy |thumb
