Are picture and movie galleries dead?
 

With tube sites out for many years now I am wondering are picture and movie galleries dead?

Not at all. If they are good quality, fresh content and not over-saturated.

We use both to promote our content, not monetizing them, but monetizing content. :2 cents:

no way. I´ve created some of my last few sales through my own FHG´s, displaying them on my social networks :2 cents:

it's also about the niche, some niches like fetish and erotica convert better with promo photos than movies.

This, niche sites are the way to go.

How else do you promote a paysite?

The tubes pretty much took it all away but there still is a lot still pluggin away

photos will always sell, but webcams has been where it's at for the past 20 years or so.

Niche targeting is the key

Build a loyal content fan base

Galleries are absolutely still being used.

No there are several i can think of!

Galleries are still working fine :2 cents:

Pic and movie gallery pages are still used by traffic brokers, ie: Exo, Ero, JuicyAds, PlugRush, etc, so they have a place to send all the fake bot traffic to and you have a place to hang your banner on to pay for all those fake clicks.

That's the only reason these types of pages exist. Fake bot traffic is a HUGE money maker in the industry that has no federal regulation. Fake bot banner, pop unders, and skim are where the real money is being made online today.

Dead, not at all. Still converting great at 1:400,000.

He's still banking.

I'm not sure about the smaller players down the chain.

Use the Gallery Magic plugin and you will discover that galleries are more than alive and very useful.

A well done picture gallery is still highly enticing ...

And even better when it automatically grabbed and inserted into your own WordPress template (see sig ;)).

Now that you mention it, I can't remember when was the last time I saw a normal movie download site.

Please tell me ANY sites who post your TGP galleries , both paid or free, the only condition is that they need to deliver significant sales for a reasonable effort.
The answer is Zero. You can try creating your unique galleries and submitting them to lots of places [with Chameleon] or just manually do it to a handful a places [pichunter, freeones, el-ladies, and a few more] : but besides beer-money you won't make jackshit.

There's only ONE exception I know: a very very talented and hard working and phucking smart man: Robwod. I think he still does picture galleries, and I believe him when he says he makes decent money].

There might be a few others like him, but the number of such affiliates is very very limited.

Submitting Movie galleries was always a dead end street.. imo..

I have HUGE archives at freeones.com and pichunter.com and there are still sales coming from very old galleries too, but just 5-10 sales a month which is nothing compared to how they performed 5-8 years ago..
The last page delivering SHITLOAD of converting gallery traffic was multi.xnxx.com which was first abused to hell than altered to a page which is not making any money neither to the owners neither to the affiliates who have galleries there..
