Shemp no need to say sorry. I always enjoy reading your abrupt comments.
This is the first time one was directed at me though. lol All is good.
By the time I got into the biz TGP2 had already died. So I definitely love hearing the history from guys like you who were there from the start.
I used to scoff at TGP2 as well but I guess I'm just looking for something new out of frustration with TGP and the ever raising ratios I'm seeing. When I declared that TGP was dead there was indeed a lot of frustration behind that statement.
I've been looking into this new movement of TGP2 and what I'm reading is that they have SE traffic and they convert with much lower ratios than TGP. Even with that I'm still looking at it with a critical eye. I even posted in a thread somewhere else that yeah TGP2 could work as long as the surfer doesn't already know about TGP and freesites.
I know anasporn was talking about them at least a year ago and I didn't listen to her but she's still doing them after a year so it may worth a look.
I second Panky, I'd love to hear you on Anas show and possibly get some deeper history lessons about this biz we're in.
I know there is an ebb and flow to TGP sales so I appreciate your wise words, maybe I'll take a long critical look at how I'm doing my TGP galleries. I still can't help thinking though that TGP is dying because theres no way it is as good as it used to be.

TGP2 never took off because it never had any traffic and it never made the users and real money...all the time the TGP2 group were voraciously pushing the wonderful concept of TGP2 to the masses, they were still submitting regular TGP galleries to the big TGP sites (the very sites that they wanted to put out of business) and sneaking recip links back to their crappy TGP2 sites...
Only the surfer decides what will work on the internet...you cant force a fad or make a surfer like a concept...the surfer will make or break you and the surfers broke the TGP2 concept because it sucked bigtime, from the surfers point of view...
