A Thumbnail Gallery Post is referred to as a TGP. A TGP is a site that lists links to individual gallery pages submitted by adult webmasters and site owners.
A TGP owner will take submissions from either a submission form on their website or from email. They will review the submitted galleries and then post links to the galleries they decide are worthy for their page. Each TGP operator sets his or her own rules or guidelines for listing.
A TGP site will usually have banners and text-links to sponsors or for-sale programs. A TGP will often reserve the top spots on their daily list for paid submissions. You will find that many TGP sites contain a list of featured sites. These featured sites are usually other sites that are trading traffic with the TGP.

A gallery is a single webpage that contains 12-20 images in thumbnail (small) form. Each of those thumbnails is linked to a full-sized image. The gallery will also display sales text and a link to your chosen sponsor. The adult webmaster will create a gallery and then submit it to a TGP in the hope that the TGP will list it.
Some TGPs request that you place a link to their site at the top of your gallery. This is called a reciprocal link. Usually, you're supposed to post three TGP reciprocal links at the top of your gallery, one for each of the three TGPs you've submitted to. It really depends on the rules of the particular TGP.
A gallery without any TGP recips is called a clean gallery. There are quite a few TGPs that accept and list clean galleries.
The best way to learn how to create a good gallery is to examine the work of other webmasters. We mean examine. Not copy. Visit some of the major TGPs and see what's at the top:
This class -Macro TGP- will mostly concentrate on building and promoting thumbnail galleries. We define the TGP vs. The Gallery because they are two completely different things.
Our resulting lessons in Macro TGP will focus on basic structure, marketing tips and other aspects for creating a profitable Gallery.
