I'm going to offer a suggestion..and just hope that you don't send your traffic to one of the crooked programs that I complain about all the time...

Anyhow, if you do have to pull the links, here is the fastest and most effective way to handle this situation. And the beauty is, you don't have to 404 any of your galleries...

Simply login to your server with SSH.
Tar your entire html directory.
Untar the directory into a folder on your desktop.
Using a program like "Advanced Find & Replace" , change all of the links to whatever new program you want to send the traffic to.
You can even replace entire blocks of html, if you also want to replace images from your existing sponsor.
Tar the folder up.
Upload it back to your server.
Untar it.
That's it.

Of course, I'm assuming that you have hundreds or thousands of effected gallery pages..and manually changing each page would take way to long.
