Hey TGP owners

I'd like to know... What TGP software are you running, and also what trade script if you're using one of those?

I'm curious and looking around at different stuff.

I use Autogal SQL and Arrow Trader Lite. Am I thrilled with the scripts? No, not really...but they work and for now they can handle my 40 to 50k in traffic a day without error...so I'm reasonably pleased with them.

If I went to partner submit only I could see me continuing to use these scripts for awhile or if I start up smaller niche tgps I would definitely stick with Autogal as it's cost effective for smaller traffic. I would upgrade the trade script before I would upgrade the tgp script...I'm thinking of buying ATX...we'll see though, so many people rave about UCJ that I might give them a shot.

we have the X-3 pro TGP management and Traffic trade script.
but they have been very heavily modified over the years..

I am using tradezilla for traffic trading and comus for galleries.

Thanks for the feedback. Reason I'm asking is that I am considering putting a trade script on a TGP I have up and coming, but am clueless on how they work or which one is the best choice.

UCJ is costly at $600.

I use Vanilla as a thumb script on the last 4 tgps I built, I love it.

That's the only thing that was holding me back, lol, most of the paid scripts are pricey, but I guess you can argue that traffic is king and paying that price is worth it.

However, Arrow Trader Lite is free (Panky informed me that there is a small skim, so I double checked that fact and yes, yes there is). But, for a free script it works great and the amount they skim is nominal. I've had 40k in hits today and they got 12 hits sent to them. So, lol, i could live with a small skim like that.

I was going to invest in their full paid version ATX ($450 and that's only for one install...I run 3 tgps, so...lol it would be costly to get all three using it).

My thinking on it is to let my TGP grow in size before spending more on it...I mean I would rather spend the extra money on content, paid submits, traffic, etc, before spending it on a trade script when the one I have works adequately for now.

Trust me, I would love to sink the money into upgrading my trade script, but right now I'm more concerned with a few other projects / expenses I have to worry about.

Chris, you are the big pimp here, what is $600, thats like the tip you give each night when you have dinner ....

I would pick tm3 or atx though.

I originally bought a TGP script called EliteTGP, which I don't think is still sold. I have completely overhauled it and made it my own, so it's more of a cusom script than an off-the-shelf option.

I know a lot of people who use Comus and AutoGallery with no complaints.

I use Autrogallery Pro for my TGPs that accepts submitters galleries and a rotation script for those that use sponsors free hosted galleries. For my trade scripts, I use ATO and Epowers.
