I have a question for the TGP people!
 

When you started your sites, how long did it generally take to start getting a steady stream of traffice and sign ups?

your post made me think of this...

gday, with a tgp i guess you can always start off with a few different methods.

First I would choose a domain name.
Once you have sellected the content, keeping in mind of doing something unique.
If like myself, with next to no design skills, i would pay for a design templete.
With this fresh look i would focus on generating enough galleries for it first ahead
of time to be your own unique pool of plugins for your main spider as i call it.
Tho i would like to add that the index.html file of each gallery be the same style
/ background of the main spider (still not a tgp) its just a web of your own galleries.
Once all galleries are inside a say rotating database, you can focus on releasing
the sets of galleries out int he form of submitting / posting to other tgps..
A small number of surfers will see your galleries and domain name and go
searching for more as you tease them each day with your paid or free listings.
Never delete a gallery, just add new sets and the the day you start to see surfers
hitting your root domain and thats when you can start talking to your surfers,
ie write a review for a paysite that you show them to sign up to. Something I
always like to do btw. is add a pole to find out if the surfers are interested into
any thing in particular. You will firstly generate signups for your sumitted galleries.
Then by earning the surfers trust, you will start seeing signups generated from
your main site. Following this method, I found my own enjoyment by not just
making money from galleries and free sites, but by entertaining my followers.
By sharing my own small peice of adult online entertainment.

p.s. no trades, no submitters, i guess you can not call it a tgp, but a web of your own.

(Think real hard what Mr Shemp stated.)

Have a great day.

What if you started one in 99, left the biz, came back and started another in 2002, does that still count??...LOLOLOL

Shemp you da MAN!!!! Hope the west coast is treating you well.

i think it depends on how good your content is and how tgp sites post your pages.
