I don't think anyone is going to go through so much trouble just to cheat a TGP out of some traffic.
First off -- if you write a script that looks for ad ID's -- you DON'T TELL THEM... Why give away your secrets? For all they know you are looking for their counter code, the width of their thumbnails, colors, or maybe they figured you just didn't like the site and didn't add it for that reason. My toplist script has never been successfully cheated because nobody but me knows how it really works ;)
But why try to block the cheaters, when you can BLOCK THE CHEATING...?! Write a script that counts the free pics and ads (I saw this somewhere -- I forget now) -- even better do a checksum of each site when you rewview it and add it -- go through your checksum's datbase every day to see if the pages have changed -- if they change then you delete them automatically.
Make the cheaters work for you... I'd rather have a cheater respect me and play by my rules...
But anyway I like the idea of working w/ a few select webmasters -- 5 or 6 really skilled webmasters can make hundreds and hundreds of quality galleries... and you have that added trust factor and sometimes friendship as it turned out for me... I can go on and on about the advantages of working w/ a few select webmasters for TGP's but there's no point ;)
