Just make a regular submission after you hit the submit button it will walk you through the payment process

Sounds like the end is nigh for free traffic. (yes, I said nigh) As much as I hate to pay for anything, traffic, sex, whatever, it will probably be ultimately better for the industry, assuming the fees remain below the 'outrageous' level. Any token amount will drastically cut down on the cheaters and hobby-hour slip-slop. Tommy is charging just less than 14 cents a day. You can't even feed a third world kid a bowl of rice on that amount.

Yeah people shouldn´t be to gready $50-100 a year or so seems reasonable to me I think it benefit the honest webmasters making it easier to get listed.
The problem is when people put the fee way to high.

[STEVEN]

$50.00 to get listed at Tommy's? That's it? I wonder what's next, MicroSoft selling shares at a penny?

That has to be the best bang for the buck on paid listings out there right now.

You know what I think is cool, and Tommy probably expected a lot of people freaking out about having to pay, is that no one is. With all the people I see constantly whining about getting pretty much everything for free and wanting 100% of all revenue generated at sponsor programs, it is a good thing to see.

Kind of renews my faith in people a little that they are not adverse to paying for quality.

[boobster]

I'm in for that! .. I mean, that way all the sucky gallery builders, content wasters(!?) will give up what they do, and only hardworking webmasters will stay... sounds great to me!

p.s. I just wish ePassporte could finally unblock my account!!! anyone from ePassporte in here!?

you know whats funny

around 2 maybe 3 maybe 4 years ago I came up with this idea

and I threw it out on a board... like sort of a what do you think about this thread
the responce I got was.......lets say, overwhelming negitive

so I was very nervous about doing this, Also I dont like to fuck with the general construction of Tommys Bookmarks

I want everyone to know that I will put all my resources into making this work and if anyone has any problems they should feel more then free to email me or post on this board

yep, I'd say there are much more people in biz nowdays, and you just need to filter the quality somehow if you want to run a quality website... this is the easeiest way...

They are idiots. I had my account illegally used so I called and had the account frozen. Then I had FlashCash create a new account for me. Then epassporte froze that one too. Yes froze the New account and I quote "in case it got comprised too". LMAO at that, it's a new friggin' account number I said.

Long story short after about 3 weeks of waiting for the other charges to all be reversed, which they were, they finally transferred my funds to the new account and unfroze it.

Fast epassporte is not!

i know you mention it that time gg had a board at adultnetsurprise, i never thought it was a bad idea , hell whats 50 bucks a year .......................

[Lunatic]

I'll pay for an account next month when I've got some more money in my pocket. I was wondering if anybody has any thoughts about this idea: charging a small fee for individual submissions. It would add up to quite a bit more over the course of a year, but it could be a good way to get a submission linked right away, especially if someone doesn't have a full fee right now or make alot of free sites.

[Tommy]

ce has that micro pay thing
a person could charge a couple dollars a submit

[stuveltje]

i still think to keep in mind , even you pay 50 bucks a year it wont mean you get listed, you still have to be with the rules and dont make shit sites or cheat, i think that needs to make clear when you pay for submission, i could charge money, but it wont mean you can submit what ever you want.rules are rules correct me if i am wrong

I agree. No cheating and quality sites. But as long as you keep with the rules I would think your sites would probably get listed. And pretty quickly too since there would be fewer submitters I would imagine. Tommy, excuse my ignorance, but what's "ce"?

[RockDaddy]

$50 is too cheap. Make it $1000/yr and let's eliminate some competition!

Common praxis among TGPs - started early last year, and there are still plenty with a paypal account taking anything between $3 and $10 per listing - you pay right after the gallery checker signals an o.k. and gives your submission an identifier number...

[caringneo]

I had submitted very few sites to Tommy in the past. Today I just submitted one of free sites which is already listed at other major link lists. But I never got the payment option page. It just went to the regular thanks page.
I wasn't in the partner list. So what went wrong? I would be happy to pay $50 to get listed Tommy. Hope you will help me.
