The Hun gallery submissions
 

It's been about a year since I have submitted any galleries at The Hun so I was wondering how submissions are going over there? Last submission I got 3 sales which was plenty worth it for only spending 30 minutes creating the gallery, I just submitted 2 galleries a week ago and waiting for them to be reviewed. Just wondering if it's still worth it.

Shouldn't take you 30 min.
Yes, its worth it.

What's the queue length like over there these days... Last time I was submitting it was a couple months long at least.

I'm not sure, I submitted a gallery on 8-17 and I'm still waiting for it to be approved...it's got a priority of "15" on their new management system whatever that means. Last time I submitted it took around 3 weeks I believe.

Do yo hand-code galleries?

Oh it's worth it once you're in though!

I've had as short as four days, as long as two weeks....

Depends on the week :P

.

Yeah I just fire up the old notepad to code them.

Hun still takes hand submissions? I assumed all tgps went to all paid galleries a long time ago. I stopped doing galleries many years ago for that reason, but back in the day when I got listed at the hun I used to do at least 10-15 sales each time. They would only list about one out of every five submissions of mine, and they were good galleries.

Can good gallery makers still get 50 plus sales on there?

Anyone know how the Hun makes money on free galleries?

I get anywhere from 0 to 5 sales for each gallery posted in the yellow pages and estimate that about 2 of every 3 submissions of mine make the yellow pages and 1 of 3 in the overflow. Something goes live on one or the other every week or so.

Whats the traffic these days in the 15, to 20 spots?

Everything is way down...

I had a gallery on theHun back in 2006 and it made something like:

day 1 - 22 sales (server killing traffic)
day 2 - 7 sales
day 3 - 4 sales
day 4 - 2 sales

Made a very similar gallery and submitted it earlier this year:

day 1 - 0 sales (18,000 views for the entire day?)
day 2 - 1 sale (maybe 7,000 views)
day infinity - nothing....

at least u got a sale :thumbsup

The Hun has its own board, go away ...

A board that no one uses.

Really?? I apologize then ...

i posted back on 8-16 with a priority 15 now

I've got galleries going up there every couple of weeks or so...Last one was on 8-20
Looking at analytics right now for that one: 67,038 views for the first day, 43.851 for the second day. 22 sales over the two days.

Maybe you need to push something different that more people are interested in?

:2 cents::2 cents::2 cents:

Thanks Robbie, that's just the kind of information I wanted to know. To me, even 1 sale is good just because that's 1 sale you didn't have before.

Best thing is just a simple picture gallery. Make sure that each thumb is linked to the .jpg , not an html page.

Don't put ANY fancy coding or scripts in. Just keep it very, very simple with a couple of text links and banners.

Not unless the bandwidth bill exceeds the revenue generated from the sale.

congrats! :thumbsup

That's a complete joke.

Bandwidth is dirt cheap. I have two kick ass boxes and 100 MB per second package for under a grand. I could run 3 or 4 picture galleries every day on The Hun and it wouldn't even be a blip on the screen.

One trailer on CM's tour burns more bandwidth in a day.

No...this ain't 1998. Bandwidth isn't even a consideration at all. The money you make off sales far outweighs that.

Make it simple..pretend its still the year 2000. :2 cents: :pimp

Do you know how many people still post on virtual hosting accounts and pay per gig of traffic? For you bandwidth is dirt cheap but not for the internet millionaires on virtual accounts.

Bandwidth is cheap even for virtual accounts.

Where are you hosted?

I don't know anybody like that. I would say that those people wouldn't be part of a serious business discussion anyway. Bandwidth and server costs are so cheap now that it just doesn't make much financial sense for a person to do that.

And if they did...then I would say that they don't have any business trying to get traffic of any amount anyway.

Uhm even if you paid $0.25/gig at the rate of 60gb used per gallery at the hun...you would still make a profit off of just 1 $30 sale. I happen to use a virtual hosting account and any time I have gone over my bandwidth my hosting provider didn't mind nor charged me extra.

go hun 2 pages don´t let us down

This is painful to read

I was shocked to get 9 sales from a gallery recently - it's usually 1-2 sales

Thats really nice, 22 sales for a gallery on thehun now day's is far from the norm though. I've had several CM galleries up before too and usually I'm happy with 2-5 sales. Which still beats 90% of all the other sponsors.

I had 59 sales on Paul Markhams teens FHG last week. 22 sales? What a waste of bandwidth.

:1orglaugh

ummm...... hmm......:upsidedow ...... y'sure????

I've actually been putting up the pics I took with my cellphone for her blog at http://theclaudiamarieblog.com to make my most recent galleries on the hun. So instead of using my "fancy" pics from the members area taken with my Canon and strobes...I'm using just plain old cellphone cam pics to make the galleries that are getting the best sales!

Go figure.

Shouldn't be a surprise. "True" amateur content, or at least content that looks like true amateur is highly popular. That's one of the reasons those exgf sites do so well. Guys want the girl next door.

And what we've done with that blog is take a girl who clearly isn't amateur and that has fans...and given them a look "behind the scenes" of her real life. So it's kinda like the exgf idea on steroids.
