Why don't more sponsors make free sites???
I gave up on Tgp's long ago.
TPG traffic may be large, but conversions and retainment suck, and we're supposed to be in this together on partnership right? Why don't more sponsors make free sites? If you're a sponsor, I would like a reply!

We've touched on this a couple times in the past - one big reason is that, like you said, us Link List owners don't have the big numbers that TGP's have & thus, we sorta overlooked
Another thing that I do hate is that some of the ones that do decide to do Hosted Free Sites have their current Hosted Gallery designer make them & they are not what Link Lists owners want to list. |

I wish more did too.
I also wish that a few of them that do would make ones that I can actually use. |

I am listing nearly ALL sponsors you have listed in the GG and Jim sponsors area. Which is very cool. If I need to fill a category, it only takes seconds. (recips or not - it fills the category) As far as the traffic numbers? I realize that. But hey, have at it sponsors, and when they close down your accounts for chargebacks, don't look at me

No matter how good you are at something, there's always about a million people better than you
|
Soon there will be a sponsor with freesites in niches where there isnt nearly any

Cleo - I could be wrong, but I think stuveltje was saying that the sponsor could easily take their existing HG's & throw warning & main pages in front of the to make HFS's

Oh ok, I she meant for us to take two HG and make a free site out of them.
But still I've seen sponsors that look like they have taken two random galleries and have thrown them together for a free site. |

Sponsors should try writing an unique title and description for ever site that they make. Only when you do this do you understand how important it is to give the site a theme.
It is also nice to put this on the site itself as it helps with the SEs. It is also nice and makes things easier for us adding them in. |

A site title and a theme are need for sure. Many use a theme but you can't find a title anywhere, just flashing graphics.

I wrote a sponsor and asked if they were interested in getting some free sites made for them for a very low price but they weren´t interested.
This is a sponsor that use a lot of money on advertising if they had used a little of that to make up some free sites they could have had most link list owners sign up for their program. |

Hmmmm - Interesting to say the least.
So, whack them with crap traffic, that apparently is what a majority of sponsors want. All along I was a fool to believe that filtered and targetted SE traffic produced more $$ per click, my bad. Off to burn some bandwidth..... j/k.

OK, as a sponsor I have the answer to the original question ("Why don't more sponsors make free sites? If you're a sponsor, I would like a reply"). I think answering is going to make me unpopular, but you wanted to know.
I started to create free sites for my affiliates to use about a year ago, then a thought crossed my mind "Why am I doing this ? " If I supply the content, create the sites and host them for for my affiliates then why the**** do I need to pay them any commission? In fact why do I need them at all? I am doing all the work. Short answer to your question, you want to make some money, you do some work. Jeez |

ecchi-
Exactly that - thank you, and remind me not to sign up for your programs. Looks like enough said here.

Hosted Galleries are more popular because there is more traffic. That's the simple anwser. |
