Macro TGP
Lesson #09 
Getting Your Gallery Out There
Written By Titmowse
Just a few years ago, there were maybe a handful of Thumbnail Gallery Posts on the Internet. Shortly before that, there was no such thing as a TGP. Not long before that, there was no such thing as the Internet. Time flies and now TGP traffic is the lifeblood of many a bank account of adult webmasters. Even those who run paysites or other type sites use galleries as a way to advertise their other ventures and make extra income.
Naturally, because TGP traffic has become indispensable to the online adult industry, everybody wants to build a TGP. That's good for you as a thumbnail gallery builder. TGPs need you as much as you need them. Their success depends on quality gallery submissions, which help them solidify their bookmark traffic. With the proliferation of TGP sites, your chances are better than ever to get listed.
You can use special websites that list TGP submission pages with links. You can ask other webmasters what TGPs they like to submit to. There are even auto-submission programs that will present your gallery to many TGPs. You will come to find your favorite Thumbnail Gallery Posts and those who regularly list you on your own. You will also figure out which
TGPs send you converting traffic and which ones send you wasted bandwidth.
Of course, some TGP sites send the most traffic for various reasons. Some have been around a long time. Some are good at garnering visits and some have high-quality or niched gallery links. To say that one TGP is better than another is a relative exercise. Some might send a huge amount of uniques visits to your gallery but will convert into little or
no sign-ups to your sponsor. Others will send minimal visits but those visits end up profitable.
There are those most-desired TGPs that all gallery builders strive for. The traffic results from a listing with them are staggering. Some of these TGP Messes are:
There are centralized sites for gallery submitters. They list a collection of links to the submit pages of Thumbnail Gallery Posts. Some even categorize them by niche or whether the TGP requires a reciprocal link. There's even some with a check-box feature that allows you to mark each TGP after you submit. This method of submitting allows you to hand
submit (which is best) but still saves you time. Some of these TGP submit pages are:

Auto-submission software is the best way to save time and stress. One has to very careful when using though because some TGPs don't care for auto-submissions. Good auto-submitters have fresh, constantly updated databases that stay away from TGPs where they're not wanted. Many TGP owners like auto-submits because they need to compete for galleries and
inclusion on software guarantees a good selection of content.

As stated in previous lessons, each Thumbnail Gallery Post has their own rules for submission. Always read the rules carefully and comply to avoid blacklisting.
Try these places and methods of gallery submitting. Submit your gallery to as many TGPs as you can. The big TGPs might pick you up but if they don't, smaller ones could and you may get better conversions. You'll never know who will list you until you find them and submit to them.
