Here's the link (http://gothic.iluvblowjobs.com/galleries/gsgal1/gs-gal1.htm).

Content is the sponsor's, so there's not too much I can do with it. What do you guys think?

I like it...but it's a bit thin on text. If it were me I wolud take that pic table and nest in a double horizontal table and on the other side of the table I would talk about her. Her bio, stats, likes, etc.

Example layout would be pic table, w/irregular banner in upper left corner, on the left side, and the text on the right side ending in a link. Now you have the two best spots on the page selling for you. :)

Listen to surfn.

He put of pretty well.

Oddly enough you would probaly get listed at The Hun with this gallery. He seems to love super simple galleries like this.

As surfn pointed out I suggest you spice up the gallery more.

I would also add meta and alt tags. It will help in the long term for Search Engines.

One thing to do is add a mouseover to hide you affilate code. this will greatly increase your CTR.

Surfn is right, you need text.

Think of a gallery as a commercial. Commercials with great sales pitches sell well while commercials with some bland talking guy hardly saying anything don't sell well and noone remembers them.

You need to tell the surfer what they will find at the sponsor.

You could always just throw your dollar bills directly into the toilet. Less painful, and it makes nice patterns before it gets sucked into oblivion. ;-}

Oh yeah, hun would looooove that one. That's just what you want, for hun to loooooooove one of your gallerys.

maybe 1 in 4 to 1 in 7 of that type of gallery will make profit. You do the math.

Structurally, nothing will keep it from being accepted, but it won't make money. Test it for yourself and see.

Thanks guys, I'm going to work on it now...

And I'm not going anywhere NEAR the Hun at the moment.

Don't fear The Hun. If you have decent hosting the hun can make you a lot of money. That said I would tweak that gallery before submitting it anywhere.

I see many beginners saying things like this.
"I'm just going to submit to smaller TGPs until I know I can make sales. "

The problem is that by not submiting to the top 1% of TGPs it is very difficult to get enough traffic to make an accurate assesment of you sponsor/gallery.

Tweak that gallery and repost it.

Tweaked and stuff, thanks for all your help. Link is the same, if anyone wants to take another look.

If you just can't bear to scroll up, here it is again. (http://gothic.iluvblowjobs.com/galleries/gsgal1/gs-gal1.htm)
