Create Your Own TGP!

I was recently asked this question by one of your fellow webmasters and I decided that this would be a great topic to share with all of you.

A TGP is a Thumbnail Gallery Post where webmasters come and post their galleries and surfers come to look for free porn. Webmasters use affiliate codes in these galleries so that they can earn commissions on all the joins from that page, and they use your TGP site like a bulletin board in a college, (you know the board where people put their car up for sale, or if they are looking for a roommate, etc). The more hits that they get from your TGP, the more they will continue to post on it, so the job of marketing your TGP is very important in order to have a successful TGP site.

We have worked hard to create and maintain our adult TGP, if you go to AudrasBoobs you can see it in action.

Starting your own adult TGP is not hard, advertising and maintaining it is what requires work. First off , you will need:

1) A domain name and a good hosting plan that will allow you to handle a decent amount of traffic and bandwidth. Even though you are not hosting any of the galleries yourself the bigger you get and the more submissions you receive, will require more hard drive disk space. Since you will be updating your adult TGP anywhere from many times a day to a few times a week this space will be used up pretty quickly. So make sure whatever plan you select with your hosting company you have space to grow on the hard drive without breaking your pocket book.

2) A script that helps you manage your submissions. We use the X3 script to maintain our TGP and it works really well. We are currently receiving anywhere from 150 to 300 submission a day and with the X3 script we can review and update our new pages in a reasonably short amount of time. Take a look at their site by clicking here to see all the features that this script has to offer. There are other scripts out there, but honestly we have chosen to use the X3 script for ours and it does a great job, they even have a free version if you just want to try it out.

3) A layout, you will need to decide how you want your site to work. These are some of the questions you might ask yourself:

a) Do I want to have multiple categories or am I a niche TGP? (Audras Boobs is primarily a niche big boob TGP, The Hun just lists all submissions one underneath each other, JJJ's makes use of categories after you get past all the paid sponsored link, these are different ways you can layout your site)

b) Am I going to archive the old submissions? (This is where the hard drive space starts to add up, this is your decision, remember the more free porn that you have on your site the more a surfer will remember it and keep coming back)

c) Am I going to put sponsors ads and banners on my site? (I would be very liberal with this, if the surfer feels that your site is one big ad they will probably not hurry back. I suggest that you use a few and make sure that you get a little money out of it, for example BoobDollars pays a 15% commission on all webmaster referrals from your site. If you put one our banners up and a little text and you generate webmaster signups you will get 15% of the revenue that these webmasters generate)

4) Content, you will need to start your site off with some submissions so that when you start marketing and the webmasters and the surfers see your site they see something. Our program like a few others provides free hosted galleries that you can use as submissions on your site, if you click here you will see a list of 450 free adult picture galleries and 60 free adult video galleries for you to use, and we host all the bandwidth. If you change the affiliate code to your own one you can start to earn some revenue off your surfer traffic. Use this content to get your TGP started and then as you get submissions you can cut back. I would suggest that you always use a few since you can generate revenue this way, just as the webmasters are doing with the pages that they are submitting to your site.

5) Marketing, this is the most important and trickiest aspect of operating your own adult TGP. There are many ways of marketing your site, here are just a few:

a) Go to all the adult resource sites and list your TGP site. These resource sites are where the webmasters hang out and look for information. We operate these 2 great resource areas, Adult Content Resource, and Free Adult Resource. Both of these sites offer many links to other great resource areas that allow you to post your TGP for free on their sites. Also take a look at the resource that BoobDollars has to offer by clicking here.

b) Get some banners made for your TGP, insist that all webmasters put your banner on the pages that they submit, this way other surfers will see your TGP and check it out.

c) Look at other TGP sites that will send you back traffic if you send them traffic. If you look at the top of Audras Boobs you will see a list of sites that we are doing this with, if a surfer clicks on any of these links then our site gets credit for the referral. Then depending on the number of referrals you will get listed on their site as a friend, top site, or a referrer. If you click on any of them you will see this list. Some of these sites do not have a unique IP tracker, meaning that you can click away and it will credit you for those hits from your computer. To be honest that will not work for much longer, that is cheating and most high level TGP's will only accept 1 click from one IP address.

d) Optimize your pages for the search engines by using keyword rich metatags, page titles, alt text, and actual textual content. Take a look at the articles below for more information on this topic. I am putting together a list of all the engines that you can currently submit adult material to, so please make sure you check back often for our latest articles.

If you get all of the above together you will soon be operating your very own adult TGP site. I updated our huge list of places to submit your adult TGP galleries to. Please go to http://boobdollars.com/articles/TGP_submissions.html to view this list, please make sure that you bookmark it since we update it once a week with new listings. Also take a look at the different styles that each of these TGP's have, this will help you decide how you want yours to look.
