first of all, thanx for replying to the thread without even addressing my question which was the post right before yours. and also, it will have the 2% skim version as long as you have it installed before november 1st...

Six

Current sites will remain unaffected, your 2% key will stay at 2%.

I just wont issue any more 2% keys, in fact, I should probably take care of that now.


Nope if you gotta site and are planning on using the 2% comus you should get the license asap before he gets around to changing his policies which are anytime now.

The paid version is the one that doesn't change til November 1st.



Well about your question... you should read some of my posts in this thread.

1. I am not obligated to help you.
2. I don't help whiners.


whassup man...i took your advice and bought some traffic from traffic-for-sale.com...just a lil to try them out...but this was yesterday morning and i still havent heard shit back from them. what is going on with them? does it always take this damn long? i wish i could find a traffic broker that started sending right after you order but i guess thats too much to ask for in this business...gotta sit around and wait til its convenient for them right? is there a better company?

man what the hell...it's been well over 24 hours now...i have received no traffic...no response to my emails...or my icq messages...what kind of business is this guy running? why does everything always have to be so frustrating cant things ever just run smoothly?

if you have a site right now that has been using comusthumbs with the 2% skim...sixzeros told me after nov 1st it will stay exactly the same. and as far as your help goes...i could give a fuck less...this industry is completely over-flooded anyways...

I am saying that he'll stop issuing 2% licenses soon... read the post and the quote.

I would really appreciate it if people do come back here and let me know how it went...

The thing that I noticed is that people usually fail at trading and keeping there traffic constant.

About your question:

They probably don't know... but they'll keep seeing TGP til they find out what it is. When they do they'll think back to the first place they saw it. Its basically another type of branding.

Or maybe they couldn't get the root domain. Like myporntgp... myporn was probably already taken so its easy to just add tgp.

Aside from that it could be any number of things.

bump.

Great Thread.

sorry for asking a newbie question, but why not use AutoGallery SQL?

Is it not good?

It seems like Comus is the way to go. But they look awefully expensive. Considering the price and quality, which script do you recommend?

Comus is good, AGP is good too, but Comus has free version.. this is tutorial for newbies, so if you are newbie you usually have not so much money to spend on scripts and other services..

Actually comus has done away with the 2% now

zzgundamnzz where do you host at, I looking for a new hosting company

I host at Splitinfinity how... I've had 0 problems with hosting since I've been there. Support is excellent.

Thanks for the reply I will check them out

good tutorial!
I have 2 tgps at this time, shaving at only 95%, so the quality is vry good.
But I have a lot of domains doing nothing, that I will set up and put them to good use, at about 70% shave.

Thanx!

Looks like your site really has grown since you have started this thread.

ok, i would read the entire thread to see if my q's have been answered, but this is easier, honestly.

i'm wondering,
1. what the hell is comus, at first i thought it would be an automated thumbnail maker.

what is the skim deal about? the numbers and charts on the comus page about?

2. what kinda bw and size am i looking for. would you use one of the cheap sites w/ 80 gigs of bw for 6.95 w/ domain reg? like ipower.com?

3. how much capital is really needed to get the ball rolling on this? what kinda commitment am i looking at? get as detailed as you can get.

thanks and much appreciated.

your fellow noob,
helmet

Yeah, it grew... lots of knowledge from helping people. Makes someone ask how things work and why they work...

Anyway thanks for the bump.

Helmet: I'll answer your questions later. Anybody else interested in asking questions? Its better to ask them here then on ICQ.

BTW, these guys will build a 250K TGP for you:

Let me remind anyone thinking of getting into the adult webmaster biz today:

The gold rush ended in 2000, there is no easy cash to be made anymore, it's all about hard-work and dedication. You need to spend money to make money. The biz is saturated and it has matured like any other biz. The big players are working together to push the littles guys out.

Good luck :)

zz...i bought a bunch of traffic for my site that came in like a week...i was adding trades like crazy and they all were growing good...the site made it up to like 25,000+ a day but when the bought traffic stopped coming in it totally died down to like 3,500...why is it doing that? why cant the trades sustain themselves? whats the trick?

You need to post your link to your site. The design is very critical to retaining traffic, also to see what trade scripts you are using.

http://www.pizorn.com
it was trading great with some nice trades...like 1k+ each with a total of like 25k a day...but now the bought traffic is gone and its at 3,700 today... :\

You were probably oversending to sustain the trades... but when the bought traffic ran out your site collapsed.

Your thumbs look pretty good, I would have thought that it would have grown a lot more durning durning that period.

:warning I get a trojan warning on TeensSpace, from your top list.

That'll kill a site pretty quick too...

i just got finished with my site , but im having one last problem . i installed TTT C for my trading script , and set the link and thumb prefixes in the comus thumbs settings. when i go to my website and click on a thumbnail , i get an error .
my website is www.fuckenthumbs.com
how do i fix this problem

well shit, so what do i need to do now?

Make sure you use the prefix for TTT C. The ones in the comus help are for the older TTT. You can find em on TTT support board.

Go get yourself a copy of IE. If you already don't. Now go through every single one of your trades and check them. Popups, installers, spyware is what you'll be looking for. Eliminate the ones that you find to have any of those.

i am using the prefixes for TTT C and i still get this dns error.
gundamn can you help me on icq? my icq - 267851956

Try these settings

1. Visitors without Cookie
send to galleries

2. Add trades because your not sending them anywhere if you got no trades

Thanks a lot for the tutorial. I see there is so much to lean. The concept of 'productivity' of a TGP site is most interesting :)

They keep 60%?

Well put, and alot more good info for people starting out.
Sean ICQ me please.

60% skim means they'll build a TGP with 60% of clicks that go to gallery and 40% to your trades.

Gotcha.

Anybody has tried mgpbuilders.com ??
They seem like a nice option. But the 60% skim.... mm... :ugone2far

I wouldn't recommend getting your site built it up. Why? because most people wouldn't have the know how to keep or grow it.

Better to just start off small and make all your big mistakes with little or no money on the line.

Just IMHO.

zzgundamnzz,

1) Does design matter to a TGP's growth?
Designs like these look great but are they worth the $130?

2) You seem to run a FHG only TGP, I was told they were hard to grow and gain bookmarkers due to the lack of fresh daily new content.

3) Most TGPs are update daily (today's gallery, yesterday's galleries, etc.), is it a bad idea to do it hourly (this hour, last hour, etc)?

4) Some big TGPs have hall of fame at the bottom, why? Do they want to send the most traffic to their paid spots at the top?
