Lesson #05 Submit Your Thumbnail Gallery
Written By Titmowse

Once you have constructed your gallery and uploaded it to your server, you will be ready to submit it to TGP sites.

Submitting a gallery means that you go to a TGP's webmaster submission page. You then fill out the form and click the "submit" button. You have just submitted a gallery. Granted, the process is a little more complicated than described but not much.

Where are these magical TGP submission pages? In the Cozy Academy Library page of course! On it, you will find direct links to the submission pages of some of the biggest TGPs on the net. We also give you information on each TGP that we list.

Understand each TGP has their own specific submission rules. You should always read rules listed on their submission pages before you send them your gallery link. You need to know if the TGP allows pages on a free host. How many sponsor banners or whether or not the TGP requires a reciprocal link, are located on a submission page in a rules section. Some will simply want your email address and gallery URL in their submission form. Others will want that plus a short description of the gallery; its porn categorization, your nickname and maybe even your ICQ number.

A few TGPs will automatically put your gallery link on their Thumbnail Post, but not many. TGP site operators like to review galleries and list those that will appeal to their surfers. Even if you build a gallery that exactly fits the rules of a TGP, you may not be listed. Many TGPs will email to inform you if your submission has been accepted or declined. Some generous ones will even tell you the reasons why they declined your gallery. Study those reasons carefully, because you will be declined. This is not so much due to your actions as it is to the various whims of the TGP site owner.

Hopefully, the majority of TGPs you submit to will list you.

If you have quality, fresh content on your gallery, if it doesn't have too many banners and if you don't use pop-up windows or tricky re-directing codes, several TGPs will list you.

Visit Cozy Academy Library and use our list of TGP submission pages in the Traffic section to make your process a little easier. In the meantime, here are just a few of the major TGP sites that generate thousands of daily hits to a listed site:
