~THUMBZILLA'S
HOT HUNDRED FIFTY ~ Updated on November 18, 2004 IMPORTANT:
READ
THIS SPECIAL NOTE: QUALITY DOES MATTER!
As you can see, there are no mouseovers anywhere on Thumbzilla. Also,
because we will not link with circle jerk, password, or warez sites
and because we are very picky about how we accept hits, how
we accept galleries and overall quality in general, you will find
that Thumbzilla traffic has a much higher conversion rate than most
TGP traffic. We have had many webmasters write to us telling us of
how productive our traffic is. We have had webmasters write telling
us our traffic to them is converting at anywhere from 1 in 80 to 1
in 200. With our own sponsors, our signup ratio has averaged better
than 1 in 200 for 53 months straight.
We are dealing in high quality traffic , and that is the kind of traffic
we send. Some sites will not receive as much traffic as they
send, others will receive about the same, and others will receive
more. But one thing is certain - you will receive very high
quality, productive traffic from Thumbzilla. If you basically are
dealing with click-thru sponsors, then this is not really an advantage
for you, but if you are dealing with recurring sponsors, or pay per
sign up sponsors, then this means traffic from Thumbzilla will be
very valuable to you because of the great signup ratios. The
minimum quality of traffic that we will accept is 2% quality (which
is quite lenient, considering the only thing lower is 1% quality or
0% quality). If the traffic you send drops below 2% quality,
we will notify you if we have your email address. With the following,
we explain our link trading system and our link trading policies to
you. HOW
DOES THE THUMBZILLA'S MONSTER LIST WORK? HOW
DOES THE FIRST! if you have any visible link to any other TGP on your page, then you MUST have a visible text link that says either THUMBZILLA or THUMBZILLA - Quality Does Matter (NOT Thumbzilla Babes, or Thumbzilla Teens, or Thumbzilla Fetish, etc.); or you can use one of our button links to Thumbzilla, but a button is not necessary...a text link will suffice. If during a trade with us, you remove the visible link without telling us first, we WILL suspend the trade with you without telliing you first. We cannot make that any clearer to you. SECOND! ALLOW AT LEAST 24 HOURS FOR US TO REVIEW YOUR SITE AND SET UP YOUR THUMBZILLA ACCOUNT (if you have complied with all of the link trade policies on this page). Now, on the main page you will see our "Thumbzilla Thumbzilla's Monster List". These are the top 75 referrers to Thumbzilla. Anyone on this list will receive very high quality hits from Thumbzilla. This list is extremely accurate in its count and it updates in real-time (within 10 minutes). It shows the number of unique hits that you have sent Thumbzilla over the past 24 hours. The top 40 referrers will receive an additional promotional (promo) link in Thumbzilla's daily post so they will get even more hits. These promo links (the ones with the "eye" to the left of them) are placed in order on our daily posting according to your rank in the Thumbzilla's Monster List! And, get this: promo links are also updated in real-time (within 10 minutes) Example: let's say you have sent enough hits to be #8 on the Thumbzilla's Monster List and let's say the guy ahead of you in #7 has sent only 2 more hits than you. Now, lets say all of a sudden you send 5 hits and he sends none. You will immediately (within 10 minutes) move up from #8 to #7 on Thumbzilla's Monster List referrers' list and at the same time, your promo link in our daily post will move up above the other guy's promo link who was ahead of you! It doesn't get any more fair than that! If you send enough hits (more than whoever is in 99th place) then after you pass that person in 99th place, you will, within 10 minutes, appear on the Thumbzilla's Monster List on our main page Once you are in the Thumbzilla's Monster List you will have your visible link on our main page, of course, and you will also be automatically put into the Zilla's Site of the Minute rotation. Zilla's Site of the Minute link is the top link on our daily gallery post. Also, if you make it to the top 40 your promo link will simultaneously appear on our daily post, too! So if you are in the top 40, you will have two good links on Thumbzilla's main page, along with being in the site of the minute rotation. We do not force any hits at all, and we use no mouseovers at all; additionally, the word "Thumbzilla" is a top search engine keyword. What this means is that the traffic you are going to get from Thumbzilla will be very high quality, very productive traffic, and since we do not force hits, it will be totally up to you to keep the trade alive. Remember also that the minimum quality traffic we accept is 2% quality, which is quite lenient...the only thing lower is 1% quality or 0% quality. If you are into quantity and not quality, you may not want to trade with us. You will not receive as much traffic from Thumbzilla as you send, but it will be very high quality, very productive traffic. As for Zilla, well, he would rather receive 100 hits at 30% quality than 1000 hits at 1% quality...simple as that. The top twenty referrers will get an additional link that looks like a gallery link in our daily list the next day (not real-time). So, a top twenty site will have a high position on the Thumbzilla's Monster List plus 2 promolinks in our daily post. Now - if a site is in the top twenty for 2 consecutive days, then that site will have their link in the Thumbzilla's Monster List, plus a total of three promo links in the daily gallery list, and they will be in the Site of the Minute rotation. So, if a site stays in the top twenty every day, then every day that site will have a total of FOUR (04) links on Thumbzilla's main page, plus they will be in the Site of the Minute rotation. Obviously, by getting the traffic from Thumbzilla from only those four links, none of which have any mouseovers, you will discover that you will be getting very productive, very high quality traffic. This will benefit you a lot if you are doing this stuff to make money (and my guess is that most of you are ;-) This also means that if you are trading with Thumbzilla it will be up to you to keep that trade going because we will not force any hits at all. If however, you are looking mainly for quantity and not quality of traffic, you may not want to be in the top twenty; heck, you may not want to trade with Thumbzilla at all if quantity is more important to you than quality. We send high quality, productive traffic, not high quantity unproductive traffic. Remember that our motto is and always has been: Quality Does Matter! HOW
DO I GET IN THE First,
be sure you have read this page and understand how the system works
and understand our link trade policies...in other words, read this
whole page. Then, to get on the Thumbzilla's
Monster List, you simply send traffic to our warning page at http://www.thumbzilla.com
, and nowhere else on Thumbzilla. Traffic sent anywhere
else is not counted by Thumbzilla's system. That is all you need to
do...there is no "application" to fill out or anything like
that. You simply start sending the traffic. Once you are in the Hot
Hundred Fifty, then, usually within 24 hours or so after you
have hit the Hot Hundred Fifty, we will look over your site (sometimes
it could be a little longer...if you stop sending any hits at all,
we will not be able to see what page your hits came from, so we will
not be able to set up a Thumbzilla account for you and will have to
terminate your domain from trading, so whatever you do, do NOT stop
sending hits within the first 2 or 3 days that you have started your
Thumbzilla trade and do NOT remove the visible link to Thumbzilla
from your page). If your site complies with the info on this page,
we will set up a Thumbzilla account for your site. As
long as your site complies with our link trade policies and you have
a visible link on the page to Thumbzilla, your Thumbzilla account
will remain active whether you send us traffic or not, whether that
period of time be a day or a year. This means that as long
as you have a visible link to Thumbzilla on your page, you can trade
or not trade with us at will for as long as you like...you control
that. But, for example, let's say you stop sending traffic for
awhile...no prob, your Thumbzilla account stays active...but let's
say you remove the visible link to Thumbzilla on your page,
too. Well, then your site's Thumbzilla account will get suspended.
We will still be tracking any traffic you might send, but until you
have that visible link to Thumbzilla back up on your page your site
will never get ranked in the Hot Hundred Fifty. The Hot Hundred Fifty
is further explained in the next paragraph. (Better to be repetitive
than to be unclear about things, eh?)
WHAT
IS THE HOT HUNDRED FIFTY? To see how close you are getting to Thumbzilla's Monster List, you can check the Hot Hundred Fifty list, which is also updated in real-time. Once on this list, you may see only your domain name, which means your account has not yet been been created on the system and that we have not yet entered into your account info the "title" of your site and the url where we will send hits to you. The computer program only reads the domain name of your site and assigns it to a Thumbzilla account. It does not know the title or specific page url of your page until we tell it what it is. We usually do this within 2 days of your url appearing on the Hot Hundred Forty because this allows us time to watch your traffic and see if it is or is not above 2% quality. Until your account is set up, any hits will be returned to the domain name shown in the Hot Hundred Fifty. You can always check the Hot Hundred Fifty at http://www.thumbzilla.com/top100.html to see how you are progressing. If you are not shown there, that means you have not yet reached the Hot Hundred Fifty and have sent less unique hits over the past 24 hour period than whoever is in 110th place. Remember, what you are seeing is only the unique hits sent within the last 24 hours. Again, the hits shown are only the unique hits. Sites in the Hot Hundred Fifty are also quality checked by our Quality Control people to make sure they follow the required standards on this page. If it is found that your site is not complying with our policies, we will put your account into suspension. We will usually send you an email if we have your email address to let you know if we are suspending your Thumbzilla account. Also, we track the quality of the traffic you send. The absolute minimum quality we accept is 2%, which is quite lenient considering the only thing lower is 1% or 0%...and we will send back higher quality traffic to you than you send to us :-) If your traffic quality drops below 2% quality, then if we have your email address we will email you to let you know so that you can do something about it...if we do NOT have your email address, we will have to suspend the trade and hope that you contact us so that we can tell you the problem with the quality of your traffic so that you can fix it and we can resume the trade...so, you may want to send us your email when you start a trade with us so that we will be able to contact you if we need to. Now, we are not telling you how to run your site! We are telling you how we run our site :-) We are dealing in very high quality traffic here. Our conversion ratios are exceptionally high because of our site policies and we intend to keep it that way - by trading with us, you will benefit, too, because you will receive very high quality traffic from us. Again, if you simply want quantity and don't care at all about quality of traffic, Thumbzilla may not be a site you want to trade with. WHAT
IF I WILL BE If you have thoroughly read this page and if you have a lot of traffic and know that you will probably be sending OVER 1000 HITS A DAY to us, you need to be sure to add a visible link to Thumbzilla FIRST (if there are any visible links to any other TGPs on your page) and then let Zilla know ahead of time and he will check your site to make sure it follows our link trade policies and then he will enter your site title and promo link info into the system sooner...in other words, he will create a Thumbzilla account for you. Do not ask Zilla to do this unless you absolutely know you will be sending more than 1000 hits per day, you have a visible link to Thumbzilla on your page, and you are real damn sure that you are totally familiar with the link trade policies on this page. If you have visible links to other TGPs on your page, and then Zilla goes to look at your page and sees no visible link to Thumbzilla, well, then you have ignored one of our main policies and he will ignore your site, so don't forget to put up that visible link to Thumbzilla. WHAT ABOUT MY CONTENT/SPAM RATIO? If you claim to be a site that posts galleries, and you have, say, 25 gallery links on the page, and 7 of them lead to real galleries and all the rest are actually links to other links sites, then this means your spam considerably outweighs your content. If the spam on your page outweighs the content, then we probably will not want to trade with you. Also, if you have any gallery links at all that link directly to a paysite instead of a gallery or trade, we will not trade with you. If you are not sure whether your site fits this category, just count what you have: if you have more spam than content, then if you want to trade with Thumbzilla, add more content or reduce the amount of spam or both, or you can contact Zilla if you feel that your traffic is high quality and want to have us do a test trade to see if your traffic and site are of sufficient quality that we will be willing to trade with you in spite of what your "spam ratio" or "skim percentage" is.. You are allowed to send us hits from blind text links, but you MUST also have a visible text or button or banner link to Thumbzilla, using our site title, "Thumbzilla", and if you have enough space for it, the words "Quality Does Matter". We will have no more than four blind links to your site at any given time on our page, regardless of the size of our trade with you. So, you will recieve very high quality traffic from us. VERY, VERY IMPORTANT - READ THIS CAREFULLY - If we cannot right click on your page to see your source code we will not trade with you. So don't block your source code if you want to trade with Thumbzilla. Quality Does Matter! Our policy regarding "blind" thumbs: we will not link to certain pictures such as bestiality, watersports, scat, incest, too young, too bizarre, or anything depicting or insinuating violence, so if you have pictures of that nature on your page, then we will not trade with you. If you are skimming too much to trades and not enough to real galleries, we will not trade with you unless you have high quality traffic. If your traffic quality is below 2% quality, we won't trade. Best thing to do If you have any questions or doubts, is to contact Zilla, and let him know your site's url. We can always do a test trade to see how the quality of your traffic is. If you just start sending traffic to http://www.thumbzilla.com, then once you are in our Hot Hundred Fifty, we will watch your traffic and if it is above 2% quality, has a visible link to Thumbzilla in a good spot on the page and complies with our other policies, we will set up a permanent Thumbzilla account for your site. You are NOT allowed to send hits from a console of any kind. If we catch you, or it is reported to us that you are sending hits from a console, we will block your domain from our system. Also, we absolutely will not trade with a site that even uses a pop- up console of any kind...no pop-ups, exit consoles, "floaters"...nothing like that. CIRCLE JERK/PASSWORD/ALL-BLIND SITES If you run a "Circle Jerk" site or a "password" site, then you need to know that we will NOT trade traffic with either of these as we do not want to send our surfers to such sites...we deal in quality. Period. If your site is full of nothing but blind links, blind thumbs, pop-ups, surfer traps, and all that crap, then your traffic is of the absolute poorest quality and we absolutely will not trade with you. If you are referring hits to us from a "cp" or "bestiality" site...stop now. We do not want your traffic. We do not want anything to do with you. We will not send traffic to you, and if we find you sending us traffic or linking to us, we will blacklist you. We do not deal with these types of sites at all and want absolutely nothing to do with them. Additionally, we WILL report all cp sites that we discover to their ISP, and to the proper authorities. So keep the fuck away from Thumbzilla. We will not trade with sites depicting photos of rape, torture, scat, watersports, bestiality, or "incest". We will not trade with sites trying to imply incest (such as "Dad Fucks Girl"). We will not trade with sites that either put an emphasis on the word "Lolita" or that have the word "Lolita" in their domain name or site title or try to make it appear that it is a site with underage girls and/or boys on it. We are completely against CP and we feel that the word "Lolita" is a key word for CP. We know that there are many of you who disagree with that, but that is our opinion. Many of you think you can make more money by trying to make it appear that you have younger models with the words you use, and, who knows, maybe we could make more money if we did it, too...but you know what? We are against that kind of thing, and money does not change our mind about it. Maybe you should reconsider what you are doing if you are doing that kind of thing. Just our opinion. Additionally, if you have pictures on your page of models that are made to appear as though they are underage (pigtails and schoolgirl uniforms, etc.) then we will be very reluctant to trade with you. If you have descriptions of incest on your page, we don't want the trade. If the overall look and feel of your page is such that it gives the appearance or the implication that your page is one of underage teens, then we would rather not trade with you. We see a difference between a teens site that focuses on "college teens" as opposed to a teens site that seems to focus on "kid teens". We will not do new trades with teen sites that focus on "kid teens" and give the appearance that the teens are under 18...why the hell do you want to do that?? For money? Come on, man. And when you use the words "young teens" then what are you talking about? We don't have a problem with "teen", but when you say "young teen" that implies a teen who is an underage teen. Also, we will not trade with a site that has any pictures of any kind of "torture" or "violence" or even "fake violence". We will not trade with sites that have any scat or watersports pictures (pictures of people taking a crap or people pissing). If you are not certain whether we will trade with you or not, send us an email with your site's url and we will definitely let you know...and if you get no reply from us, then that means one thing: it is so obvious that your site is not one we would trade with that it was ridiculous for you to ask in the first place.
IT'S UP TO YOU IF YOU WANT TO TAKE THE RISK OF CHEATING US, BUT YOU
BETTER BELIEVE SOONER OR LATER WE WILL DISCOVER IT IF YOU ARE CHEATING,
OR ONE OF OUR MANY FRIENDS WILL INFORM ON YOU.. BY
CHEATING, YOU ARE UNFAIR TO THE HONEST, HARDWORKING WEBMASTERS WHO
ARE SENDING LEGITIMATE HITS, AND YOU ARE DECEIVING OUR LOYAL SURFERS...SOMETHING
WE WILL NOT STAND FOR, AND WE HOPE THAT YOU WILL RECONSIDER WHAT YOU
ARE DOING TO YOUR FELLOW WEBMASTERS AND TRY DOING THINGS WITHOUT CHEATING.
YOU WILL ACTUALLY DISCOVER THAT YOU CAN MAKE MORE MONEY SPENDING YOUR
TIME AND EFFORT USING LEGITIMATE METHODS THAT YOU WILL BY SPENDING
YOUR TIME AND EFFORT ON CHEATING! Whew!
That was a mouthful! |
