Nowadays you're lucky to get 1/4th of that from submitting to 500 sites.

It isn't because there's less TGP traffic, there's a lot more of it now than there was then. The problem is the TGP's are flooded with thousands of crap submissions from webmasters breaking the rules because they have software that facilitates that.

I don't think its a coincidence that most search engines went to paid inclusion after the market was flooded with scripts that were designed to build sites with no content and stuffed with keywords to manipulate the SERP's.

Get ready for most (if not all) TGP's to do the same thing.
I agree,

I get frustrated with cheaters. By the time I blacklist and reject them I'm already frustrated and mistakely reject a good gallery. I'm slowly swtiching to partner submits and it's going well. I will soon have partner submits on all my tgps before the year is over.
