Is TGP's Out?

[eroticfem]

Would you say tgp's are dead or is there any future for that now that tubes is the new thing everyone do, i have a few tubes that spend a lot of time with and it is time consuming. Things that piss me off with tubes is that a video can have upto 5 different titles on a tube, special on the user upload sites.

I enjoy watching images as it is higher resolution (usually), and you do not have to listen to the model / actress moan "yesss, yeah, oh my god its so big"

What is your opinion?

Tgp are not dead yet,but their traffic compared to tubes is basically a statistical glitch.

I'll tell the models to tone it down next time. Or I'll just stick the tip of it in next time!

[brassmonkey]

if you have to ask yes.

[LeRoy]

TGP's are still alive and kickin'

[michael.kickass]

Alive and kickin for sure.

[MPGdevil]

There will always be picture collectors.

[Belinda]

Some of our top affiliates still come for TGPs so I would say they are not dead.

[KickAssJesse]

TGPs will never die

[SpicyM]

Those idiots that say TGPs are still "alive" and will survive do not realize that the biggest TUBEs take picture uploads as well, even with a content partner program. But yeah, sure, surfers will rather keep browsing through some ancient 1999 tgps and the galleries listed

Thats more due to the amount of people running them, this thread was made by someone who is too lazy to do any work to check on there assumption .

Fine with me you think that, keep loosing out.


The Poll shows how terribly though tout this thread was, one of these guys I guess who like to spread dis information.

Lol, I like checking Alexa before spreading the nasty "disinformation".

TGP traffic is shit compared to 2006, when I started with them. They were good, did not adapt and died out. From surfer's point of view, there is no reason to go to the old school tgp instead of say Xhamster - with all those fresh videos, pictures and social community features. Off course, the alternative picture sites, pinboards etc. are a different story.

Not saying the old TGPs have no traffic, but it's low and not worth the time.

[Zuzana Designs]

I get several requests for tgps and we still do quite a few every month. So I would say no.

TGPs aren't dead. It's good to diversify and have a variety of sites with different types of traffic.

I'm more annoyed from listening to the guys talk.

Hows it not worth the time, if you build galleries regularly google loves you, But I get your point, It just doesn't leave out that tgps if they updated regularly and have fresh content do well both with google and the surfer, I personally prefer to visit tubes but I cant sit here as Im growing all the time for two - three year snow and say there dead. I get content from members area too so my surfers are happy and share my urls as well. If more people knew, there would be more traffic in picture sites. I do have one at 100k and growing monthly.

If there was PM id send it to you, and please, anyone else dont contact me wondering what site it is.

[stonehammer]

i prefer pictures so tgps are still relevant to me, tgps and pin sites.

Tumblr, Reddit, Twitter and even Facebook pages. People love pics they just don't visit TGP's that much anymore.

[ruff]

If you knew, you would know how many programs issue tgp galleries every single day of the week. Those galleries are going somewhere or they wouldn't bother making them. Tubes don't use tgp galleries so they must be going somewhere. And if companies are still making them then they are producing income. Nothing hard to understand about that. I love all the experts here at GFY. TGP's are dead, long live TGP's!

[SmutHammer]

Just another troll thread, TGP's are way superior to tubes.

[SomeCreep]

I sale short tgp.

[C H R I S]

TGP's are far far from dead.... MGP's as well....

If some people knew how much quality search traffic these aged sites get and the traffic generated it would blow their minds......

Just sayin

No trolls here, just wondering if anyone still have them and if it is worth spending time making more.

[Vadame]

I have some TGPs rotating, no big work, just money:-)

[nikki99]

not dead

[LightscapeMedia]

For me, TGP traffic, while lower, is more productive. And that's the important thing.

[LightscapeMedia]

You know what.. scratch that. TGP's suck. (The more of you who think that and won't "waste your time" with them makes it easier for me to get my own galleries approved)

They are worth the money/time.

Tubes are not worth doing at all, Every time someone uploads a video all they are doing is hurting themselves and this business in return for worthless traffic

[Lykos]

Everything still makes $, but question is what $....

Thank you for making it clear that you are not qualified to include yourself in this discussion--this prevents confusion.


tgp's are not something someone should drop and stop working with, as its already been stated, people are still maintaining traffic and earning from them. I wouldn't invest time or money in any future products building them though. Distinct difference there.

[mikesouth]

I do well with The Hun no doubt about it.

[ctggls]

It's like saying that the old Ford model is dead. Cars still have 4 wheels. Although they make them better know the concept is the same..

[Klen]

Perhaps better question for this thread would be is it picture traffic dead,as tgp is just one type of serving pics.

[eroticfem]

What kind of script is recommended for tgp's? I have been filling a gallery manual over time as a side project on free time, custom galleries and descriptions but combining these things with work is hard i still got to sleep..

Yes SpicyM, surfers will keep flocking to tube sites. But they don't spend money like the ones who come to TGP's.

One good hit of search engine traffic = 1000 hits of TGP traffic. But 1 hit of TGP traffic = 100,000 hits of tube traffic.

That's just my general feeling after many, many years of selling porn online and watching my stats as an affiliate promoting a few hundred programs AND as a paysite owner watching what affiliates can send me and their traffic sources.

[clickhappy]

Id love to see a list of TGPs that are still worth submitting to.
http://ranks.sextracker.com/spn.html...se&pg=0-0.html

Cuz I dont see it anymore, but if its true I'd love it. That list used to be full of 1Mil+ sites in the top 10

So do you want to say that sex.com is NOT a TGP site?

[SpicyM]

I believe the question was regarding the classic TGPs and gallery submission.

TGP = thumbnail gallery post

sex.com is a pinboard

The classic TGPs are dinosaurs, the concept of submitting a picture gallery was made because of high bw/hosting costs and the current trends are totally different. BW is cheap and tubes offer 100% better experience for surfers, pics, videos, social features ..

Yeah sure some of them can still bring a sale or two here and there, but the question is , if it's worth my time and effort. In most cases, no.

Picture sites/blogs can still be profitable especially those oriented on softcore/erotic, but most people want to watch movies too and that's why tubes are so popular.

[tony286]

I think with tgp's you get the older surfers who are buyers. I would bet a large number of tube surfers arent even old enough to have credit card.

[clickhappy]

tgps, mgps are pretty much the same. its like automobile and suv, theyre kind of the same.
But I havent gotten good traffic form any in a while. I would love to know some to submit to and I will start submitting again

a lot of tgps are afraid of cheaters.

[PornDiscounts-V]

If you have a TGP with 100,000 bookmarked surfers and 500,000 plus a day trade, turn it into a tube and watch how the money rolls in.

[sandman!]

tgp's still have some traffic

[Drake]

I still frequent thehun

[MPGdevil]

TGPs aren't dead, but it look like most if not all scripts are.


Vanilla TGP - Dead (doesn't work with PHP 5.3)

TGPX - Dead (having some of issues with PHP 5.3.3 and the unofficial support forum seems to be abandoned).

Smart-Thumbs - Still alive I think but support is slow.

KVS - Just got aware of this recently, but the feature to create a TGP site is only included in the most expensive version. Support is great and fast though.

SmartCJ - Mainly a tradescript but with build-in rotator. Don't have experience with this or if support is still alive, but no updates for a year according to their webpage.


Any other options out there or what do people use today for their new TGPs?
