I'm one of those folks who *do* see galleries as long-term traffic, because I leave mine up permanently. Search engines index them, surfers going through TGP archives see them, and heck there are TGPs out there who are just this month sending me approvals for galleries I submitted in March (talk about a backlog!).
So even if you've only got 10 people a day coming in from various sources to an old gallery... 10 of those galleries would be 100 people a day, 100 old galleries would be 1,000 people a day... and every hit counts.
Dravyk, it's going to be amusing to watch you getting back into this part of the game. Boy I can hear the ranting now, hehe.
But more than the reviewer or TGP owner, it's the *script* that owns the TGP. Sure, the owner might not have a problem with you changing out sponsor ads - but the script will detect it and either delete it or ban you immediately. There's no reasoning with a script.
I would love to be able to change out ads once in a while, but with all of the rampant "our script will BAN you if it detects ANY change in your gallery" stuff going on... it really limits us.
Heck I worry about even changing ads on *free sites* these days, it's gotten so bad with the script check-delete-ban things.
The ones that drive me crazy lately are the scripts that won't take my submission because they "can't get the last-modified date of your page". I just NOW uploaded the thing and I haven't changed it since uploading it, it's brand new - and you're looking for a last modified date?? Arghh
