How to go about TGP traffic in a smart manner?

[GeorgeTH]

Gosh, when you're asking questions you really want to know every tiny bit... LOL

I guess for the first month a 150gig allowance should be o.k. providing your image compression is alright (search this board about image size, there was a recent thread), and you don't over-do graphics (and the like) on your pages.
...and providing you don't go out and pay straight away for big partner accounts, a thing I would not recommend for the first month in any case!

Get a feel for things first!

See what gets listed, see what sells, see how you can sell in the TGP market before you spend too much money!

Be prepared for a lot of work and a lot of frustration and rejection - there are so many TGPs now that it takes even me (with a submit list of over 200) many hours to find new and promising ones. Then each and every time you submit you'll have to skip some because they won't take the particular niche or don't convert in that niche...

An important thing now is to make the right submission thumbs (that's plural!) because so many sites now list only thumbnail submissions, and almost each and every one have different preferences (hardcore/softcore, 88x88/90x120/100x100/120x160, etc., close-up/face only/ close-up body part (like bum or tits), toys yes/toys no, the list can go on... You'll basically have to load each and every site's main page to see what they're listing [check at the same time if they list too many sponsor hosted galleries!]).

I basically have a long 3 column table [in 8pt font!] listing all my links to submit pages, and short comments behind most TGP names to remind me of their particular requirements - otherwise I would get too many rejections and/or blacklistings.

As I find more-and-more the gallery description is becoming an important part when submitting; whenever I have a good day and write one which I really like I usually manage to get more listings! I'd wish I'd have more of these days of brilliance - LOL. Then there are all the requirements about description length, too! Like one site I submit to takes only 17 characters, several ones between 24 and 30 characters, then some reject your listing if the description is below 40 characters = you'll have to write at least 3 different descriptions, too!

And since I'd been out for a while I just start to learn again what time of the day is good for submissions to particular sites - don't expect that you can make a gallery and submit it to all sites at once (not if you're keen to get listed at some particular sites).

There's more to this - which I'll leave to others to answer - back to work for me! Better start experimenting - and good luck!
