Are TGPs turning into CJs? - Page 2

I remember those days but the difference back then was that clicks were either going to a trade or a paysite and for every trade popped there was also an exit popped - either an exit to a paysite of some CPM program. The pissed off surfers were constantly bombarded with some form of ad. With the TGP-CJs of today however there is an emphasis on no ads at all. It's quite a brilliant strategy (NOT!) - the less ads we show them the more they will click on thumbs which means more hits sent out to crappy FHGs and trades. In effect you get a pissed off surfer bouncing around from one site to the next without any sales pitch or ad in sight. The TGPs grow and rise up the traffic ranks but the income they make is basically pennies. It's a constant sacrificing of income to increase traffic levels when it clearly should be the other way around.

And pood you are indeed living in a fantasy world if you think the average 100K thumb TGP brings in 2K/month.

Hi guys,

Do you realy think that´s all bullshit with this kind of TGP´s
and MGP´s?

what do you think about the services of tgpbuilders, mgpbuilders
or any other tgp traffic builder? Is that all a fake, or do they a
good job Has anyone experience?

I cannot understand the desire for people to run these blind linking CJ sites. All you are getting is a more and more frustrated surfer, looking for a gallery, and getting NOTHING.

I know, maybe if he is frustrated enough, he will BUY something.

Maybe if he is frustrated enough, he will log off and go rent a video from the video store.

As dangerdave said, nobody bother to figure out how much damage this type of stuff does.

It's like those god forsaken toolbars and malware people. Don't you know you are fucking up the ENTIRE business for the future in order to be able to make money today?

You are not only killing the golden goose, but you are burning the corpse.

I am seriously toying with the idea of having my milfs site as free of blind links...

It has great Google traffic from excellent keywords and I am not sure if I need the skim now. For sure the traffic will drop like a stone, but there is still toplist trading,

Great discussion so far. I can certainly agree with the concept behind traffic trading..."If I can't sell something to this surfer let someone else try and send me another surfer back." If I do actually start up a TGP I'll give the surfer galleries on the first 2 or 3 clicks then start the skim percentage from there...but it seems to me that the right model would be to keep the surfer long enough to make a reasonable attempt at selling him before sending him away.

It just seems that the traffic has become an end in itself for many, whereas the truly successful people I've gotten to know take the true measure their traffic and their sites by how much money they make per unique visitor...be it .05 cents or 2 cents.

Klove · 2004-09-21, 05:22 PM

Im actually going to run some test with my tgp when I get upto 1000 uniques/day, im going to start trading with these CJ sites to see if I get any more productive traffic. I think a combination of sponsor gp, mp site and trading traffic with others might be a good combo.

I think there's a line between totally annoying the surfer & giving away too much for free.

Surfers already have pop ups disabled & ad blocking so banners don't show up. TGPs are updated every day with hundreds of new galleries & to get listed, they need to have at least 15 high quality, big photos that haven't been seen all over the place. MGPs now want a minimum of 4 clips in sequence that are at least 1 MB in size & at least 10 seconds long.

If the surfer is already getting that much for free, what's next? Free blowjobs for bookmarkers???
