Not all public submissions from the public are approved. Tgp owners are often picky and select the best content only for their website. Deciding which public submissions to approve is usually based on the quality of the thumbnail, title/description text, and if the gallery content is good/bad quality and the webmasters own set of submission rules.

Most webmasters have a set of rules that the public must abide by if they even want their gallery considered. Webmasters of respected tgp’s often get 100+ submissions per day, but may only have room to approve 10-20 per day, at which point a backlog of galleries builds and some webmasters are approved ages later! Think of it as a loooong line to get in a club, and if you don’t follow the dress code, then you’re not getting in.

Partners often have a private submit form and they skip the long line. It’s like the VIP line, you submit and you’re in as long as you followed the rules. People who do paid submits often have what’s called a Partner Account or PA.

PA’s are usually  cheap and they only permit you the ability to submit. They don’t guarantee your submission will be approved, because if you submit something that breaks the rules, then you’re out of luck. Shame on you for paying to get in, but not dressing appropriately.

Paid listings cost much more usually in the $100-$x,xxx.00 range. However, you’re guaranteed to be listed in the spot you purchased for the amount of time you purchased it for. Granted, if your gallery breaks the submission rules set by the tgp/mgp, you can bet your bottom dollar your submission will be deleted and your violation of the terms may give the site owner the ability to revoke your listing.
