well, if you make money off of freehost with what you are doing then work that, there is no right answer following everyone elses tehniques, is like opening a mcdonalds next to a mcdonanalds lol...of course i see most in this biz do that lol submit the same site and sponsor to the the big LL that is using it at the top of that same category lol so not all in this biz are that bright

i wouldn't count on porn paying your bills for a bit tho, but at least paying a simple host 10 bux will get you good hosting....

Well - I probably should make a separate thread for it - but Ive always believed that thehun and Tommy etc should lead an exodus away from allowing surfers in for free - charge for access to their lists - let it trikle down to all the WMs - and then if any idiot starts giving it away for free take him down

With a huge, non-converting traffic spike!

Can you imagine what would happen if the Hun decided to redirect all of his no-cookie traffic to some ass' site instead of spreading it amongst all of his daily listings?

This would be a great place to start with the massive TGPs... so what if it's only a nominal fee comparable to a 2 or 3 day trial. At least it's something, and it would start driving home the idea that if you want to see porn, you've got to pay for it. Especially when you consider that so many of these TGPs are now requiring "partner accounts" to list a gallery... they want you to pay them, so you can provide them with content to give away. Things are getting really turned around with that idea. If we're really going to be "partners", how about charging an entrance fee and letting posters make some money back.

As much I don'l like to pay for submit passes I believe it's perfectly OK for TGP's to charge money for submits. If you want their traffic you need to pay for it.

The real reason for this change in TGPs is that there are too many sponsor hosted galleries available, so TGP owners could easily fill their sites with only hosted galleries with their link codes. I see paid submit passes just as additional income for TGP owners and as adding a bit of variety on the side.
