Thanks guys for the kinds words.
I know I should give it more time which is precisely why I don't plan on giving up. It's just I was a bit frustrated how things have gone so far. Right now I'm probably only getting 2-3k per day total to all my free sites, but 2k of free site traffic is sending just as much hits to sponsors as 50k of TGP traffic, if not more.
Hopefully the SE's can start spidering more, and the hub idea is something I was planning on incorporating. I submitted a lot of free sites to DMoz around 3 weeks ago, but don't think they've been accepted yet. Do they inform you by email if they are accepted or do you have to find out for yourself if they have been listed?
Dave, you mentioned I had 190+ sites on google. I have a "fake" TGP with hundreds of categories which is probably what has been spidering, but I would be interested where I can go to find out how many sites I have listed in google.
I know my free sites look a bit different between the first 2 pages and the galleries, and that is due to I have been submitting those galleries to TGP's and then I add them to a new free site. I can fix that problem easily though. I personally think I'm done submitting to TGPs, because even when I get added to the quality TGPs, a bunch of crappy TGPs pick up my URLs and automatically list them which is a waste of bandwidth.
I appreciate all your comments thus far. I have found a lot of useful information on this board.
