Several years ago people would get mad at TGPs for listing them because bandwidth cost so much. People would submit to the TGPs that they knew sent quality traffic because they knew it probably wouldn't waste bandwidth, but if some low quality site with tons of foreign leeches listed you then your bandwidth bill might be several times what you made from the gallery. That's not the case so much these days.
Several years ago I earned an average of $40 a gig on TGP traffic. I used to laugh my ass off at people who posted using free hosting with their banners at the top. The only problem free host had in making money is that webmasters would put the body tag at the bottom of the page so that when the freehost script searched their gallery it ended up puting their banners way down at the bottom.

Bandwidth was higher but signups were easier several years ago.
