You are a salesman. You are selling a product that you do not own, and are paid by commission. Your galleries are ads. The billboards that your ads are shown on are owned by TGP site owners. Instead of thinking "how can I screw the billboard owners over on the number of ads I can place", why not think "what can I do to get the billboard owners to *want* to place my ads more often?"
Cash works. So does trust. So does submitting reliably over time. So does friendship.
Instead of trying to increase your ad-view numbers by cheating, why not try to build trust, reliability, and friendships with those same TGP owners instead of trying to trick them? It's a much longer-lasting solution that way.

Thanks for an intelligent and thoughtful reply
However I'm not interested in paying for gallery spots at this point in time (I'm not sure my profit margins are up to that), submitting reliably over time will only get you so far, and I live outside the US, so going to conventions on a regular basis and thereby having an opportunity to form friendships with major TGP webmasters is easier said than done.
Besides, I seriously doubt that there are many if any major players in the TGP submissions game who are not making numerous unauthorized posts.
