Of several sites, I have a tgp that was loosing traffic daily and it sank to an all time low of 100 hits a day.

My script is set to post automatically, and I found that people were auto submitting pages and then selling or redirecting their page to anything but a gallery.

The post is still on auto, but I used an htaccess file to require posts to come from an html page on my site, thereby blocking auto submitters.

My traffic grew dramatically since that day, and is now over 5000 raw clicks a day to that tgp - an all time high .

Does anybody think that blocking auto submitters had anything to do with my traffic increase

Thanks, and gfy.
I think you have a handle on it, like was said earlier, piss the surfers off by not monitoring your gallery links and they will go away. We have to scan our TGP galleries multiple time per day to keep the cheaters out.

On another note, it's interesting that your nick is Big Bad John and you're from Tacoma... My nick is Big John and I'm from Tacoma also. Must be something in the air other than Tacoma Aroma for our nicks to be that close
