Some interesting and thoughtful comments.
Thank you. I am interested in hearing more.
I agree that the top TGP2s are owned by experienced TGP1 webmasters. However, my understanding is that none of them are feeding their TGP1 traffic in anymore. I know I'm not. I'm not funneling any extra traffic in at the moment. I sent only a few thousand hits to each of my TGP2s to get them started. Some of the other TGP2 webmasters at the top have told me the same thing. So I can't say "all" .. but i can safely say "most" I think. Every once in a while I push an extra 500 hits in or so to see if it gives me a boost, but only very infrequently.
I am one of it's biggest supporters, probably it's biggest. Why? Because it makes sense and makes money NOW. I am averaging one half cent per click to my TGP2s.
10,000 hits/day = $1500/month.
With multiple TGP2s, a fairly experienced "traffic conducter" can run about 50k/day of TGP2 traffic right now. About $7500/month. If you start at the top TGP2s and click on the top trades, you will find a lot of 10k-20k TGP2s not currently on the counters.
I agree on not promoting the words "TGP2" on my sites. I may have it on one. I experiment. I agree with your point. There are a lot of newbie TGP2 webmasters that don't have a clue (yet).
That being said, there are a lot of webmasters doing stupid things in TGP2, in TGP1, in CJ, in AVS, etc. I ignore them. The smart ones, the ones that survive, differentiate themselves. They take the time to figure out what really works v. what people say work.
TGP2 is ripe for experienced traffic traders with good scripts. New sites that appear often run right up to 10k without any effort at all. There are some very experienced webmasters involved in TGP2 and theyare doing fine.
We have the "TGP2 Brainstorm" session in Vegas coming up and I expect very good things from it. More than half of the top 20 TGP2 sites will be represented there.
