"Selling AVS IDs to horny web surfers is a solid way to make money and protect your content from innocent eyes..."

TGP TGP TGP. It’s all we ever hear. If you’re not running a TGP, You’re a gallery builder. The Thumbnail Gallery Post gets the lion’s share of the attention, so much so that the new adult webmaster might not even know other money-making opportunities even exist.

TGPs are indeed a great way to generate income and traffic for the beginning webmaster. Even paysites make galleries to increase hits and muster publicity. There is no doubt that at this particular moment in Internet time, the TGP is a force.

While the death knell for the TGP has not yet been officially rung, there’s a growing faction of the adult Internet who believe the TGP is on it’s last legs. Gallery builders see lower and lower conversion ratios for their hard work. Traffic traders have begun to refer to gallery traffic as “crap traffic”. Affiliate sponsors are growing ever impatient with the cheating methods of desperate gallery webmasters. And of course, there’s the constant threat from governmental sources who would like to see Internet porn disappear, especially the free porn that TGP sites feature.

Does the possible impending end of the TGP mean it’s all over for the newbie adult pornmeister? Should they back slowly away from the online porn business before it blows up in their faces? Is there no other way for a novice webmaster to get the green from the smut machine?

Hell no.

Consider the AVS. The Adult Verification System is not a new concept in the timeline of the Internet. Charging surfers a small fee to access an AVS site and the sites of all others in the AVS database has always been a good deal. For as much as a paysite charges for a one month membership, an AVS ID will allow it’s holder an entire year of access to adult entertainment. On top of the bargain price, the AVS system also protects the webmaster from possible recrimination by helping to prevent unauthorized viewing of adult content by minors.

AVS IDs may not garner as high an initial payout as a partnership affiliate program. Nor is it as easy to get the traffic to an AVS tour as is a TGP gallery page. Nevertheless, selling AVS IDs to horny web surfers is a solid way to make money and protect your content from innocent eyes and the long arm of the law.

There is another world out there behind the five hundred pound gorilla TGP. Look around the hoopla and you will find a plethora of resources, chat boards and affiliate programs for this type of Internet selling. Some of these great places are:

TGP gallery building is great. It’s quick money and huge traffic. Just the same, TGP is a big monster that (in this writer’s opinion) is destined to fall. As the old adage goes, the bigger they are, the harder they fall. Will you be under the shadow of TGP when it crashes and burns? Or will you be the smart marketer who looks to the future of the Adult Internet and the Adult Verification System?
