I wouldn't necessarily call what I said "tips", more like opinions.
Well personally keeyOp, I don't run anything but fake TGPs. Real TGPs are too much work for not enough money in my opinion, but I run my business overall with a philosophy of avoiding excessive contact with webmaster submissions.
However, I look over the shoulders of lots of people running small TGPs, so I know a bit about it. One of the things I know is that small TGP owners rarely report large profits. You are actually much more likely to be making money from gallery posting than from running a small TGP.
But running small TGPs has advantages- the first being that when other TGP owners get to know you you can submit more galleries and get accepted more.
A couple of general rules- run multiple TGPs, not just one, for trading purposes and to target and focus traffic. Keep your own galleries at the top. And remember you have to sell off a TGP too, you can't just put up lists of sponsors and expect to make sales just because it's on a TGP. (I see a lackadaisical attitude towards selling on most small TGPs.)
