You know those "create your own gallery" scripts that are inside affiliate programs?

Imo those 5step make your own gallery are utter crap. I'd either use a FHG which have some sort of structure to them (also crap) or 9 outa 10 occasions I make my own gallery.

What I'd like to see more programs offering is ziped content sets of 25-30pics of decent quality that are 500 on the long side as standard. And a ton of header image/s that I can incorporate into my galleries. Only a handfull of programs currently offer this.

Exactly, even when I did run two TGPs, they were so low traffic and impossible to grow without piss-off-the-surfer trade script crap that FHG-anything is a total waste of programmer/designer time. I'd love to see some real FHG stats. I'm betting that <= 5% of program affiliates (the top 5%, including all the high traffic TGP owners) are the only ones really using FGH to any real gain. They're just in my way, personally. I'm with nekrom, content to build galleries by hand is the most useful thing any program could give me (although I'm not so sure about 500 on the longest side being a standard...) -- but 80% of programs out there are dumping 10-15 shitty ass video captures into zips and calling it "picture content". As if any reputable TGP (or LL for that matter) is going to approve a picture gallery built solely of vidcaps. Come on! Anywho, yeah, I've played with the 5step tools too, and found them to be just as useless as standard FHGs. I'd rather see a program spend all that time, energy and money putting together sites that update frequently, actually convert, etc. (it's my belief based on my experiences that most of the programs that claim frequent site updates and bank-busting conversions typically don't.)
Most FHG / script-generated-5-step-galleries are typically 100% photoshop and/or way too high ad:content ratio to actually submit anywhere with any respect anyway.

I agree that it's faster to build them by hand, then go threw all the steps.

Well we have no shortage of content - we update a few times a day with our own stuff (have been consistently for years) and we sit on a collection of over 23 years of completely exclusive amateur content - with deep deep pockets of niches like cream pie, hairy bush, mature/milf, etc. Adding tons of content for people to make galleries is not a problem.

We let the webmaster choose how many ads to add so that is not an issue for us.

How do you all feel about only having soft content available? We are very sketchy about hard core that is outside a pass protected area but thinking of relaxing a bit because of the recent 2257 injunction.

I get better conversions using limited harcore content in my galleries, hint at it, maybe one or two pics, let the surfer know that it's there, but not a whole gallery of pics with nothing but dicks filling wholes.

I agree with this approach - and making the text hardcore and accurate for what is to follow.

Soft content doesn't work for me

I am cool with a limited supply of hard - but I don't like the idea of giving away the money shots - wdyt?
