I have been using both Imagetwist and Imgchili for about 4 months.

I have found I can simultaneously upload 3x 300 image galleries at once with imgchilli. Very Impressive. With Imagetwist, I can only upload 1.

Imgchilli still pays thru Paypal, and they do it on a WEEKLY basis, on Wednesday, automatically, no matter how small your balance is.

I don't know how well Imagetwist pays, because they dont use Paypal. Also, I just had my accounted deleted for 'child nudity'. I don't recall deliberately posting any such image, nor know what their standards are. They didnt show me the offending image. I have made an effort never to show nudity of anyone under 18 ,even when uploading 'candid' galleries,where everybody seems to take liberties. No warning, just 'game over'. Now, I can't even view Imagetwist images on others' site without seeing the same blocking page. Maybe they got in trouble in the past, lost their Paypal account, and decided they had to be super-strict. That's their problem, not mine. They just created one frustrated former affiliate who is spreading the news to others so they don't get screwed, too.

Thank God I devoted 99% of my uploads to Imagechilli. In my entire experience with Imgchilli, I have never even had a single image taken down, for any reason whatsoever. I am very pleased with them, and have confidence that my work will not be summarily destroyed without warning by them.

BTW, I would MUCH rather have a higher commission structure to make most of the money myself than sacrifice a few percentage commission to have affiliates under me. I have never had much success making money on other people, who are mostly not experienced, lazy, whatever. It takes a LOT of work to make money in this field...IMHO, its mostly because you want an excuse to look at a lot of porn, which I do. Multilevel anything rarely works, again IMHO.

Just providing bits of info about imagetwist, in reaction to David's large and useful post

- IT is based on an India-registered company, I think, and Paypal recently updated their working practices, banning third world countries from the privilege of serving bulk (mass) affiliate payments. Various websites around the world were hit by this move, from now on, unless you're from a European country, or from USA, you may not proceed to bulk affiliate payments anymore.
"Motherfucking cunt moralfag americans", in this regard, frankly.

- Child nudity : maybe some of your pics were too borderline (frankly, some 15 yo girls looked like they're 20, at times, it's really hard to tell, that's the whole problem with girls this age), and if you're unlucky, one of them hit the wrong person in the eye. If IT and IT's web host both receive a DMCA and a child porn report from a child protection group, should they check if this is really underage and then stand up for your rights at a huge time expense, or spend ten seconds to ban your ass into oblivion ? :-/
I must also highlight something, in the past I have already had several persons banned from Imagetwist because they were fucking cheaters (massive spamming under a horde of pseudos behind TOR-i-fied proxying) on gallery-dump.com, and if some pictures from the cheater looked even potentially underage, I'd also report this as means to achieve greater certitude the cheater would be banned.
If David has been spamming too much another place, who knows, this kind of event may have happened too :D

- bulk uploading : you can upload hundreds of pics if you chose Flash uploading ;)

I don't really see the point of bulk uploading. As by the time you post it. You will only get around 30 views. unless you constantly update a topic. Then maybe you'll get more.

If you've got a set of 100 pics, are you going to upload them one by one ? Ergo, bulk uploading.

I was thinking more a bulk post. Like if someone posts an amateur mix of over 100pics.

Thanks for your interesting responses. Yes, I know all about flash uploading, but I wish I knew a way around the 50 pic limit on the remote/"upload all the images on a page" option. Using that option I've copied and pasted galleries to one of my own blog pages, saved uploaded 50, deleted the top 50 from my blog pages, uploaded again. The upload speed is seductively faster, but keeping track of where I am takes up some mental energy, which I don't have to exert when I simply dl a gallery with Bulk Image Downloader then upload to imgchilli 300 pics at a time, x3 pages. Anyone know a better solution?

Here's another question....I wonder if its really worth the effort to upload galleries AT ALL, unless they are really special. Only about 25% of my income comes from Imgchili, 25% comes from Linkbucks, and 50% come from my Adult Ad provider. Which means 75% of my income DOES NOT come from it's being 'my own' gallery Considering the amount of time it takes to do the uploading, I'd probably be better served just grabbing other people's galleries and doing more on the SEO side. I probably devote at least 80% of my energy on the uploading side and almost nothing on SEO.

I'm noticing there are a lot of sources for fully-downloaded galleries: wuh-thu-fuh, RIP-Productions, to name a couple. Plus, another advantage is that, given the aforementioned DMCA and CP issues, if they ever comes up, I imagine have a bit of a buffer in that I'm not the original uploader of the gallery. Plus, I don't run the risk of being terminated by the image hoster either....which could REALLY put a damper on things.

I basically got into posting full galleries as I got burned by Oron big time and a couple of the smaller outfits small time. It looked like that model would be under constant attack, so I went looking for an alternative. It's a lot more work for a lot less money, but on the other hand, its kind of a hobby. Enjoyed your responses. Hope there are some more again.
