This is such an amazing program, and such an enormous
waste, in many ways. This program will save you hours
of time if you want to submit to every TGP on the Net,
but has many limits that restrict it.
When I first bought this program, I began playing with
the interface. It's not exactly confusing, or even complicated,
but it definitely takes a few minutes to learn all of
the features and to get it setup correctly. Once you
have it setup, however, it's definitely smooth sailing
from there.
The Good:
Number of TGP's: All I can say is,
"Holy shit!" Right now, as I write this article,
my database of TGP's is at 1079 entries. That means
that if you've setup your program correctly, and approved
every gallery in the database, every time you hit the
button, a gallery will be automatically created from
your content pool, and then will automatically be submitted
to 1079 TGP's.
Auto-Recips: When you're approving
TGP's, you'll set each individual entry according to
that TGP's particular set of rules. If they don't require
a reciprocal link, the script will automatically use
the clean template. If they require a recip, then the
script will automatically add one. It makes as many
html pages as necessary, adding 3 random recips to every
page, and submitting that particular page to the corresponding
3 TGP's. No extra work is required on your part.
Customizable: The entire script, and
the output of your html pages, is completely customizable.
Your pages can look however you want them to. You can
set certain tgp's to use certain templates, so that
you can target your advertising. You can dictate the
way the script will determine file names for your html
files.
Rotating descriptions: The script
automatically pulls a gallery from one of your preset
categories. It then assigns that gallery a description
to submit to the TGP's, using one of several you will
write for each category. That way, the script will not
submit the same description every time you submit.
The Bad:
Still Time Consuming: If you think
this script is going to save you tons of time, and that
submitting to over 1000 galleries will be as simple
as clicking a button, think again. Now, once the entire
script is setup, then yes, submitting is as easy as
clicking one button. But the fact is, it takes hours
upon hours to scour through those hundreds and hundreds
of TGP's. For every gallery post, it's required that
you read the submission rules, setup that TGP's admin
page accordingly, type in your reciprocal linking code,
and approve it. Until you've done these things, the
script will not submit to that TGP. Every TGP is disabled
by default.
Then there are the updates. Every
week or so, it's important that you use the auto-update
feature, which will automatically synchronize your database
with the current version. This will add new TGP's to
your database, and reset TGP's that have changed their
rules. Of course, this means more time. Sometimes you
will have to go through and approve/re-approve as many
as 100 TGP's.
Disliked by TGP Owners: The script
submits to The Hun. But does he link galleries submitted
by TGSW? Absolutely not. He hates this script. And so
do many other TGP owners. I guess the reasons are obvious:
if every TGP allows it, and every submitter uses TGSW,
then every TGP will have the same galleries. But this
is a shame, because sites like The Hun are where the
real traffic comes from. TGSW costs quite a bit of money
just to get linked on "Buddy's Wild Galleries &
Links" and nothing else.
Minimal Traffic: The script submits
to over a thousand TGP's, yet my experience thus far
shows the traffic received to be fairly low. I've also
spoken with colleagues, and their experiences have been
the same. It seems that the TGP's that do link to TGSW-submitted
galleries just don't send that much traffic.
Now, the creators of the script would argue that you
could change the output of the file names to hide the
fact that it has been created using TGSW. This is true.
However, I did this, and it didn't seem to make that
much of a difference. Again, experiences of my colleagues
have been similar.
Conclusion:
This is a great script, which can be used to serve
the purpose of enhancing your traffic. Just don't be
fooled into thinking that this is the answer to all
of your traffic problems. You won't transform a dead
site into a top-10 site overnight. You won't make hundreds
of dollars every day using this script. And considering
the time involved in managing the updates to your database,
it's not nearly as easy to use as they claim.
But used efficiently and intelligently, this script
can definitely serve a positive purpose, that can more
than make it worth its cost... especially over a long
period of time. Be creative. Make galleries that will
more likely be accepted by TGP's. Be creative with your
gallery descriptions. Change the output of the html
file names. Upload plenty of content and set the script
to automatically run every day. Alter your html pages
on occasion. Fall into a steady pattern, and this script
will more than pay off.
