RickBill, the thing about submitting to the big TGP's is you need about 4 5 ontmhs worth of galleries in their archives to generate sufficient and significant traffic It's quite rare to get sales just from the todays galleries' main page on most TGP's. The question you will have to ask yourself is Am I prepared to do this for six ontmhs at no profit and maybe sometimes at a cost to me'. If you decide to keep your PA's active and continue to submit it's still a hit and miss situation for the newbie. A good converting sponsor can quickly become a not so good converting sponsor in a week seriously! I've been promoting a site and been doing a nice consistent 1:800ish ratio, so what did I do? built more gals and fs which are now archived and the ratio has gone through the roof. It's at about 1:1,400 and climbing. So, in effect it's been a little bit of a waste of time for me if those gals/fs fail to convert. Knowing the way things are going I'm not expecting them to either!Most of the people who are making any kind of money from submits have been doing it a long time and have ontmhs upon ontmhs of galleries and freesites archived and literally hundreds/thousands of sponsor links floating about out there. It's taken them years to build up their traffic and they did this when times were good, they also have a lot of trial and error experience under their belts. I'm not wanting to piss on your bonfire Bill just thought i'd give you friendly food for thought if you are considering keeping or ditching your PA's. With the quiet summer period round the corner I'd seriously give it some thought my friend, you can always renew an expired account.GD Star Ratingloading...
