Making money off TGP galleries -- a retrospective
It is very commonplace to hear the lament that "TGP galleries don't make money" or "You're wasting your time with galleries."
While the heady days of putting together some nude pics along with a CE banner or MaxCash and making bling while you sleep are over, like any 'matured' promotions strategies, there is still $$$ to be make from TGP submissions, Link Lists, and AVS. It all depends on FINE TUNING
What are the elements that are in play when you submit:
The traffic of the place you are submitting to
The editorial policy of the places you are submitting to
The layout of your page
The content of your page
Your text
Your graphics
Combined together these may seem like an unwieldly constantly shifting forces that no one webmaster can anticipate much less control. Hence, the feeling that its all luck.
Maybe by putting a little science, along with a lot of persistence and attention to detail, we can still tease the CONVERSION genie out of the TGP/LL/AVS bottle.
One possible approach would be to experiment with the changes of the elements above:
In partciular, change each element and see if that improves your conversions.
Find particular combinations that may result in higher conversions and build on those.
One possibly instructive model for coming up with a CONVERSION FORMULA is an evolutionary approach.
Start with 1 gallery with points for each of the items above.
Monitor the results.
Change each item and in combination with other items
Notice any improvements
Keep changing and varying and building upon improvements until you hit a formula that works.
