Building traffic to a new LL or tgp

[GeorgeTH]

If you are a regular gallery poster you can for sure replace one of the recip links with your own. The better the recip the more people will click it (I get up to 150 hits/day from that = not much but a start).

Another good way is to send all your 404-traffic to you new site (if you have some from galleries, etc.; you'll be suprised how many people try to poke around in a gallery site, changing directory names, etc.) - I believe that most people prefer a decent link site or tgp redirection from a 404-error to all the pop-up-hell advertising, and quite a few will bookmark you site if they like it!
You could also host your galleries for a while on the same domain; many people are trying for a decent root page, so if your tgp is straight away the main page on that server you'll get traffic from that, too!

But dumping all advertising: that sounds like not such a good idea! Try instead one extra link below your ads saying something like "many more free galleries like this at my site xname.com" (avoid the word "main" site - many link checkers have that under banned words). Many people do this on their galleries!
