I agree that the recip rule is stupid.... uh but there is a but..
when I do put a recip to my own tgp on all pages it would get probably get some traffic without sending traffic to the other tgp's that also have a recip...
but on the other hand. When I submit a gallerie to 100 tgp's... not all tgp's are listing that gallery in the first place. So what happens is that website1 sends traffic to gallerypageBA.html and some traffic to the other recips website who doesn't even need to have my shit listed.. so they do get traffic from me without listing my shit!
So uh best thing would be to put recips on a gallery that goes to websites that are sending traffic.
Or uh.. I prefer to have 3 recips like this
1 -> TGP I submit 2
2 -> My own TGP
3 -> A website owned by the tgp owner.. his paysite/freesite or whatever
