Question about Richard's Realm recejction reason

[RobertK]

Just a short question:
I got a sponsor hosted gallery rejected with the note: "We do not currently list your host."

Does that mean that the sponsor is unwanted or the hosting server is unwanted?
In other words: Can I use this sponsor with my own galleries on my own server?

Thank you for any input |santa|

Robert, while sponsors would like you to think that their galleries with returns on the top will get you listed everywhere, in the reality is that many TGPs and link sites do not accept sponsor free hosting anymore.

Perhaps if you provide a URL, we would be able to give you a better idea.

Alex,
thanks for your fast response. I've asked RR before I submitted sponsor hosted galleries. Some galleries were accepted, some declined by the reason I mentioned.
A gallery from VideosZ.com was accepted and another from NSCash.com was declined. So I'm not sure if the sponsor is the problem or the server of the sponsor.

That's typical of large TGP's they don't list everything you submit. Only if you submit first.

It is also possible that the domain was not on their sponsor hosting list in the past, but it is on there now.

[RobertK]

Surfn,
I understand that the big boys won't list everything I submit, all I want to know is whether the mentioned rejection reason concerns the sponsor itselfs or the sponsors server. |huh

I think it's nuts that anyone would list any hosted galleries/sites that don't have their own affiliate code. I think the answer lies in GG's response. It was just a matter of not knowing/realizing that they were looking at a hosted gallery.

Why http://www.asstraffic4.com did not list?

[Mr. Blue]

Robert are you submitting a Free Hosted Gallery? If that's the case I'd suggest you start building your own galleries as you'll not only get that type of rejection from RR, but you'll probably end up getting blacklisted at all the free tgps you're submitting to.

FHG that sponsors offer are meant to be used on your own tgps, on your own hubs, or if you're paying for traffic in certain areas like choker traffic, askjolene, etc, etc, etc.

RR, and other TGPs that charge for a submit pass still follow the rules of standard tgps and you should not be submitting FHGs to those tgps.

As for the galleries getting through before...its purely because the reviewer that did the review was unaware that it was a free hosted gallery, otherwise it would have been rejected with the same reason as you got for the other galleries.

[Mr. Blue]

argh, I didn't realize this was a bumped thread...oh well, lol, the advice still goes.

Sounds like throwing money away, if you get right into it though, even if the poster is using affiliate sponsor content on their own domain with their own code, what's the difference as long as the recips are up?

I've been looking at TGP's a lot lately and it seems like damn near all content is sponsor provided, design is sponsor provided, just add recips, submit, and you're done! No wonder guys are submitting hundreds a day and list owners are getting pissed off at seeing the same stuff all the time.

Just my convoluted somewhat drunken thoughts.
