The crusade has begun... ;-)... Most people (if not all people) submitting here are depending on banner programs
to make some money from their galleries. In order to make sales on banners people have to see 'em and eventually click 'em.
Making people see your banner is not a problem. You're in the right place for that. I have reports that a placed submission on
the Yellow Pages will get between 80,000 and 200,000 people to your gallery, so that's plenty of banner impressions. But
lately a lot of banners are screwing up the way we're all making money (you make money on banners, but so do I). If people like
your gallery and click the banners expecting to get more of what you have in your gallery they are potential buyers. If they
like what they get they'll sign up. Or they might click back and sign up later. People are hesitant to buy right away... But what
happens a little too often lately when they click back? They get caught in a loop of exit-consoles. Some sponsors pop so many the
only way to get out is by switching off their machine. More and more ads will pop
up in their faces when they just want to go back to your gallery. Now try to place yourself in their position. Would you click
another sponsor if this happened to you once or twice? I don't think so. People are not stupid. They will stay away from clicking banners.
And people not clicking banners is people that won't generate sales. So you won't make any money.
What am I doing about this? Enough people know that honest advertising is good advertising. So I get plenty of galleries with
sponsors that do not pop a loop of consoles. I prefer those galleries and they'll be listed more likely than the ones with entrapping
sponsors. Some sponsors will cause a gallery to be declined right away by my robot. I'm collecting sponsors that don't pop consoles
to be able to offer an alternative to people that are declined 'cause of their sponsor. I'm closely checking all sponsors in submitted
galleries and I will be declining galleries with too agressive sponsors...
Please supply your e-mail address so we can e-mail you if anything minor is wrong
with your page. The subject is NOT the description that will appear on the Yellow
Pages. I make up those descriptions after manually checking your submission. Sites
with blind/misleading links, consoles, exit-redirects and other TGP's sponsors will
not be accepted. More hints and "rules" on the Webmaster page
There no guarantee you'll get listed. I get way more submissions than I can accept. I
pick the best ones from the list of submissions.
You will need cookies ENABLED to submit to the Yellow Pages. This will help in blocking auto-submit
programs and it will help me trace down cheaters. If this is not sufficient I will take more drastic measures to
go after people that think rules for everybody but them. There is a reason I want to limit submissions. And that's
simply 'cause I don't want to list more galleries than I list now, and I want to give everybody as much chance of getting
listed as everybody else. Also, reviewing galleries is taking a lot of time. Right now I manage fine on my own, but
a lot of people that auto-submit send in the same kind of galleries over and over again. Those usually are declined anyway
so it is time spend for nothing. I'd rather have more time left to mail people what's up with their gallery or to go
play with my kids ;-)... Most of you guys and gals have been sending great galleries every 3-4 days. Thank you all for that. And
sorry to the majority that has to go through things like these to fight a few people that seem to think they can ignore
set guidelines...

Please don't include this program in any auto-submits. This submit form automatically checks for blacklisted
sites or other things. Please submit a maximum of one site every 3-4 days or so. I get so many submissions
from people that I want to post different people every day.
