Luckily you have come to one of the best place on the net to get one. I suggest you do a few searches on this board for free sites, link list, and search engine traffic to start to get a grasp of what I am saying as far as TGP and Link List go.

I'm using comus because I'm not running just a simple TGP, but a full fledged gallery that accepts submissions from other users (and I do have a few partners). The advanced features that it provides me with are ones that I could not have easilly nor quickly reproduced (image aging, rotation, image manipulation, site protection, etc). I understand that a normal, simple TGP takes no time to setup, but that's not exactly what I'm running.

I welcome you to our "sector" but, I think its best that you know that a TGP and a Link List are to completely different monsters. A link list takes much much more time to build up than a TGP does. A link list should be mainly based around search engine traffic and not from traffic trades. Some traffic trades are fine but the fundamentals that make a link list different from a TGP is based on the quality of traffic and having informed surfers searching for targeted niche which they prefer which intern will increase your sales. TGPs IMO base their sales on the amount of traffic they can get from other traffic trades no matter were the traffic comes from and have more of a brute force method to them.
I think it would be best for you to start by submitting free sites so that you can understand your market instead of just jumping into a project like this. A link list is a full time job in itself so if you are doing this part time then it will take you twice as long to build it up. Traffic and sales do not come as easy with link list because it takes time to get the right targeted traffic to it. You will read in some post of seasoned Link List owners to run while you can because they understand the nature of the beast that is a link list. A link list is a long term investment which if done right can be profitable but not without a lot of work and sacrifice.
I wish you luck on your new project and would be willing to help you with any questions you may have.  |
How to address this... with adultlinkweb.com I'm trying to provide two things to the people who list on it: 1) traditional traffic by those who intentionally select their site on it via the link (thereby providing the quality traffic that you were referencing), and 2) forced traffic from adultpicweb.com. The later ensures that their site will get traffic instead of solely relying on the former. I see it as a double win with people who list with me.
It's important to note that adultlinkweb.com does not operate off a traffic trading scheme at all. The traffic trading comes in to place via adultpicweb. So by signing up at one place you're accomplishing two things: 1) a permanent hardlink on a link list (adultlinkweb.com), and 2) gaining random traffic from people via the TTT engine at adultpicweb.com thereby having people stumble on your site.
What has yet to be fleshed out (and I'll be working on it when more sites start listing) are the niches available, RSS feeds (I'm going to be implementing them), and the graphics design.
