Getting Started With TGP2

Building TGP2 galleries is an ideal pursuit for the new adult site webmaster. Compared to building traditional TGP galleries, you will find that it is much easier to get listed, that the time to get listed is shorter, and that profit margins are much higher. You will also find that it takes less time to build a TGP2 gallery. This is a unique time in the history of TGP2. Now is the perfect time to start building TGP2 galleries.

What exactly is a TGP2 gallery? A TGP2 gallery is one which has between 1 and 5 clickable thumbs leading to a larger image, up to 15 non-clickable thumbs, and no recips to regular TGPs. Why up to 15 non-clickable thumbs? The idea is to "tease" the surfer. Show him that there is material that he cannot get for free. A TGP2 gallery maker is also permitted to place each full-sized picture on an HTML page with an advertisement both above and below the picture. By giving away less content, the surfer has less of a chance of finding what they want. This leads to a greater probability of purchasing an adult site membership. Higher sign-up ratios!

To get started, I recommend building the simplest TGP2 gallery possible. Build a gallery that has 5 pics across with a banner and a text link above the thumbs and a text link below. If you need a free host try Xingster. Xingster is a free host catering exclusively to TGP2 gallery makers. After building your gallery, submit it to the TGP2 gallery pool. The gallery pool is a free service that allows TGP2 gallery makers to list their galleries. TGP2 webmasters frequently add galleries from this list to their databases. You should also use my TGP2 Site Database and submit to all the sites that will accept your style gallery.

It is that simple to get started! You will find that using only five thumbs greatly reduces the time that it takes to build a gallery. This is because you have less pics to crop, thumb, and link. I found that I can build a TGP2 gallery in less than half the time it takes to build a traditional TGP gallery.

It is also a lot easier to find five pics for a gallery than it is to find twenty or thirty. The great upside to these galleries are the click-through rates and sign-up ratios. A TGP2 gallery can send as much of 10% of it's visitors to a sponsor and most gallery makers are reporting higher sign-up ratios. In many cases I have been finding these galleries getting listed on the same day as I submitted them. Since TGP2 is new and most of the TGP2s are only weeks old, everyone needs galleries. Later, as you build more confidence in your gallery making abilities, you may want to try the more complicated and time-consuming galleries with unlinked thumbs and HTML pages.

TGP2 is a small and rapidly growing free site phenomena. You will receive up to a few thousand unique visitors within a few days of building your TGP2 gallery. With few daily gallery submissions for TGP2 webmasters to choose from, it is possible to receive traffic for weeks after submitting your galleries as they only slowly slide down the various TGP2 gallery lists. To make money on each gallery, try our TGP2 Bucks program. With sign-up ratios for a free site signup at 1 in 20, you will make about 5 cents per unique visitor sent!

Currently there are between one hundred and two hundred TGP2s. There are probably about twice as many gallery makers as that. Overall traffic to TGP2s totals about 100,000 unique visitors per day. That number was only 10,000 a month ago. That is tremendous growth. We are just beginning to come out of the formative stage of TGP2. By starting to submit galleries to TGP2s now, you can gain partner status quite easily with the largest TGP2s. The trick is to get involved as early as you can. Network with the TGP2 owners and make a name for yourself. There will never be a better time to do this than now.
