What's a TGP?

TGP = Thumbnail Gallery Post

Click any of the links in my sig, those are all TGPs

I got that Toby, but I am not talking about the content, I am talking about the marketing. I would think that by now, someone would have thought about something other than a grid....

The whole point of a TGP is to maximize the number of clicks to the galleries, since those galleries are the gateway to the sponsor tours.

I'm not sure that something other than a grid is going to be any more effective, and it's going to be substantially more difficult to code the script templates that rebuild the pages for each update. If you change it up too much, it's no longer a TGP, and then it becomes difficult to get other TGP's to trade links.

The most effective "marketing" on a TGP are the thumbs themselves. Manually selecting and cropping thumbs makes a HUGE difference over allowing the script to randomly choose and make them.

There are other things on my TGP's that would also fall under marketing, but like Hell Puppy, I'm not going to give away my best secrets in a public forum. They're right there in plain view on the page, if you know what you're looking for.

I have seen that in action and i agree.

Since it is not my business, I have to go with what you are saying. However, this model seems to be overworked and just ripe for another approach. IMHO

hey're right there in plain view on the page, if you know what you're looking for.

That is what makes it fun. Everyone, for instance, thinks I run stocking sites. LOL
