sigh... if you know how to squeeze money out of surfers then you can make money with tgp's. but if your like jace's friend who only makes $1200 a month from a 130k tgp then you might as well not even give it a shot. i've made $600/month consistantly from a 10k/day CJ. it's all about getting the surfer to click on anything within your site. but be sure the clicks are benefiting you or your site in one way or another. whether its a click to a trade, a hardlink to a toplist that will send traffic, galleries, ads to a sponsor, all that good stuff.
its all about efficiency. not looking pretty with $300 designs like some people seem to think. all im saying is if you know what you're doing you can make a 5-10k/day tgp in the right niche for as little as $5-15 feeder and as quickly as 1 week. but again thats if you know what you're doing.
it takes a lot of trial and error such as ad placement, what types of ads to use, where to place your ads, where to place your toplist, where to place your thumbs, what size thumbs get the most clicks, what sponsors have the best content for thumbs, what sponsors convert best, what sponsors make the most money, where to place hardlinks, what skim to use, what trades have good production, what trades can return the amount of traffic you can send, etc.................
a lot of variables go into knowing how to build traffic and make money with a TGP. once you have it figured out then you will make money. until then you'll be sitting around with a thumb in your ass doing 500 uniques a day hoping you make
A sale this month.
