As a TGP owner without a staff to help with gallery reviews. Often more galleries are submitted than time allows to review. Also there are all the cheats (change galleries after submission etc.) to deal with and black list.
If you do get your gallery listed, it stays in the database for a long time. Usually more than a year. Plus it rotates to the front page depending on the clicks it gets. I scan often for 404s, changed galleries, 302s etc.
I gave up on partner accounts cause I found partners cheating too. Just cause someone applies for a partner account doesn't mean they're not scum. There are regular submitters to the site that I have grown to trust by past experience.
If submissions is your thing, buying spots from a large site is worthwhile and offers the best chance at a ROI of your time and $. Then you can submit manually to get the traffic you want.
Shemp is a good place to submit. Don't know how booked his site is, but worth checing out.
