Yeah whats up with that, I could understand it if it was taking you to a individual paysite trying to get you to join or something, but I don't get the whole linking to another free gallery.

Just try clicking the thumb over and over until it goes to the right page.

OMG, I can't believe I didn't know to do that. Thanks for the tip, I always get frustrated at not being able to see the galleries I click on! Party!!!

i'm not an expert on how it all works exactly, but i think those TGPs make money on clicks, so when you get redirected like that, you're making someone some money whether you mean to or not.

with some of them a redirect remover like this one (for firefox) is useful

Ahhhhh, now I understand the principles behind it.  I had often considered whether it was something to do like that but never really knew, thanks for the info jch1!

Cool

Also in Firefox, 9 times out of 10 you cant right click and select 'Copy Link Location' and just paste it in the address bar and remove the excess text.

The clicks are to send "unproductive" traffic out and gain new fresh visitors that might buy something (helps for conversions)... in addition, new visitors will most likely bookmark those help the TGP to grow.

Try to visit those TGPs (like Peachy18) by typing their url... you might notice there are lots of less redirects. The reason is that you're not them coming from a trade partner, and you're treated like a bookmarker (that are more valuable to TGPs).

You have to be careful when clicking around those redirects. It's the easiest and best way to infect your pc.

I agreeThumbs up!   If i get redirected more than twice, I don't click that thumb again. Learned the hard way.

I believe you meant you CAN right click and select.... etc and so on

And the user that posted the clicks=money response is right on topic, although the internet doesn't pay squat these days. Some sites you can't find the real stuff for the ads and dude is just trying to cover bandwidth never mind make a profit.

And... and... what's wrong with a good old LOL, glad to see somebody on the net is having fun.

  I have seen, no shit, some truly worthless TGP’s that you have absolutely 0% chance of seeing what  you click on… 9.9 out of 10 times I won’t bookmark a site that doesn’t allow javascript redirect removal (mentioned in the thread jch1 spoke of).. If I want to visit another site I’ll check out their partners once I’m done there. Try to “force” me to bounce around and your history.. IMO, if you’re an experienced surfer and still can’t manage to get the content you want when you want, take a stand and never go back. There are plenty of other great sites out there.

PS.. LOL is a worthless comment, and could be deleted as offtopic. Maybe if there were something more to it.. LOL!
