    Complete TGP Guide: Beginner to Intermediate

    Intermediate Guide to Building a Thumb TGP:

    (A. Getting Started)
    1. Buy yourself a domain. Buy one that has something to do with Porn and play with the words. Do not register with Go Daddy or other cheap places! Register with the big

    companies. They charge more but you won't get fucked over.

    http://www.Directnic.com (Recommended)

    2. Get yourself a Server
    - (Do not try to do the stuff in this tutorial with a virtual account hosting account)

    What you have to remember is you're not running a game server... So don't go with the extremely fast servers. But if you can afford it by all means.

    - Do not get a (Windows Server). Make sure you get a Unix based O/S.

    Places to get a server:
    http://www.servermatrix.com
    http://www.webair.com
    http://www.realitychecknetwork.com
    http://www.jupiterhosting.com
    http://www.candidhosting.com
    http://www.isprime.com

    (B. Getting Your Tools)

    Thumbnail Manager:
    1. You're going to need a thumbnail/gallery manager to do all the grunt work.

    http://www.comusthumbs.com

    This is the ultimate tool for managing thumbs and increasing productivity. Make sure you either purchase this or get the 2% Skim version. This is a must have tool.

    I'll give you tips on setting up your layout later on.

    Trade Script:
    2. You're going to need a Trade Script to manage trading with other sites. Make sure you get one that is suitable for a high traffic site. Make sure they're coded in C.

    Premium Scripts:
    TM3 - http://www.tgpsoftware.com
    Arrow Trader Extreme - http://www.arrowscripts.com/
    UCJ - http://www.ucj.com/

    Free Script(they take some of your traffic)
    Arrow Trader - http://www.arrowscripts.com
    AWG Trade - http://www.awgtrade.com/ (Zero Traffic Taken)

    (C. Building Your Page)

    You should now have all of the necessary tools and hardware to build your TGP. But your still missing your main page.

    - Build one Yourself
    Customize your page:
    - brand it
    -make yourself your own mascott
    -make it unique and clean

    - Have one built for you or buy a Template

    http://www.dynamixxx.com (They'll build you a custom TGP page for $55)
    http://www.sexzity.com/templates.html (Sexzity has premade templates starting at $15)
    http://www.galleryguy.com/

    (D. Comus Thumbs Template)
    To get the full Productivity template grab it on the Comus Thumbs Forum

    This is similar to what I personally use:

    First Table(Skim 65):
    1st Row: 8 Thumbs(Query Best with No Clicks Option)
    (Why the no clicks option? You want your thumbs to rotate and don't want the top thumbs to dominate just because of placing.)
    2nd Row: 8 Thumbs(Query Best with No Clicks Option)
    3rd Row: 8 Thumbs(Query Best with Clicks Option On)
    4th Row: Thumb 1 Query New) Thumbs 2-8 Query Stage 1 (What does this do? It injects a thumb every time your page is rebuilt. Set your rebuild to 5 minutes ~12 Thumbs per

    hour)

    Now make two or three more tables all using (Query Best).
    Remember for each table that you make lower the percentage that go to galleries upto 50%

    1st Table 65%

    2nd Table 60%

    3rd Table 55%


    (E. Populating your Page with Content)

    Things you should have ready:
    - Main Page Design(Filled with Macros)
    - Trade Script
    - Comus Thumbs

    1. Filling it with galleries.

    Your page will be rebuilt every 5 minutes using 12 Thumbs per hour, Using 288 Thumbs per day.
    You're going to need a bunch of sponsors with alot of galleries to fill this quota:

    A. Signup with These Sponsors
    Recommended Sponsors:
    Brain Cash (1000+ Hosted Galleries)
    Medium Pimpin (1000+ Hosted Galleries)
    Nasty Dollars (1000+ Hosted Galleries)
    NS Cash (1000+ Hosted Galleries)
    Extreme Paychecks (1000+ Hosted Galleries)

    If you signed up to all of these sponsors you should have 8000+ Galleries to place in your database.

    In Comus Thumbs
    - Make sure you enable hotlinking and 302 redirects
    - Bulk Import all of the galleries from these Sponsors into your Comus database. (Avoid Movie Galleries: They'll leave you with a cutoff watermark)
    - Auto Thumb Every Single on of them with the Auto Thumber with the skin setting turned on
    - Now before transfering all of them into your main category: Examine them in blocks of 200 for quality.

    Congrats the Easy Part is over

    Part II.

    So now you have a kickass site with kickass software thats fully setup but your not making any money cause you got no visitors...

    A. Buy Traffic

    Buy 100-200 K of traffic to build up fast.

    Places to buy cheap productive traffic from honest people:
    FPC Traffic(Buy Exit Traffic 100K or 250K for 1.75K)
    Sexzity(Buy Unfiltered 50K or 100K)

    B. Using the Traffic

    - Divide the amount of traffic that you bought by 5. This will give time just in case something isn't setup right or for unforseen complications.
    - Signup to Trade with Other Thumb TGP Sites:
    http://www.findtrades.com

    - Force 30-50 Per hour depending on the size of the trade for 24 hours to your trades(set value for each trade).
    After 24 hours turn the force off and let your script handle it.

    - Keep the trades that are productive dump the ones that aren't.

    - Keep adding trades.

    - Make sure you pick niches that correspond to your site.

    - Do not trade with sites that have a skim lower than 60% (trading with sites that jerk around their surfers give you lower prod % traffic and will hurt you in the long run)

    - You might want add more adds to your site but other than that...

    You're finished.

    Got questions I'll answer them for you in this thread

        The moment I post it here I'll see a bunch of people using the exact template.

        Inside of the Comus admin area you can get a bunch of template examples in the help section.

              Yeah Comus can do that... just turn off submissions in the Settings and Enable Productivity Boost

              Enable 302s and Hotlinking inside of the FHGs and you should be able to import most of them with no trouble.

              Skimming:

              If your percentage is at 70% : 70% goes to galleries and 30% goes to trades.

                About the skim in software:

                When programs like tradescripts and thumbmanagers say they'll skim 2% from you...

                It means they take 2% of all clicks from your website.

                        zz

                        I've been messing with thumbs remote, is it ok to use this, or you reckon u need to go with comus?

                        cheers, nice post man.

                        You can get it ploughing a paddock, you can get it makin some porn sites, matter of fact I've got it now.

                        For a hard earned thrist, you need a big cold beer.

                          I think you should use Comus Thumbs. You need something to manage and boost the productivity of your thumb page...

                          Without something like that it'll be alot harder to grow. If your not sure wether you want to buy it... you can always try the trial version.

                            Cool, I will go with comus then man.

                            What traffic is your tgp doing for that income? and what size generally does it have to get to start making some money? 10k, 20k, 100k?

                            cheers dude

                              Woops, I wasnt allowed to edit the message, and I had another couple q's:

                              I see you have no ads there except the hosted gals and top links, is this usual? You make your money off the galleries yeh?

                              One more thing, I think you said this above, but to be sure, your tgp is no submission? So your traffic is from buying and trading traffic only? Do you get much se traffic?

                              thanks again
