Well first off I should have clarified that I've never actually 'redirected' them from a gallery even on the freehosts; they simply block them with a standard 403/404 error page to prevent bandwidth being spent on that traffic.

As far as your contention about the tgp owners being able to make money off that traffic, I doubt that's true, except for possibly getting them to sign up under a geo dating ad; though I don't know if any of the sponsors even pay for signups from those countries.

That market is really without much value. When I had my paysite/ dvd store running, I sold many memberships and placed many thousands of orders; of those, only one - ever - was a customer in an asian country, and that was from an american who was living there.

That being said, japanese traffic is of more value than chinese if you can present the links/tours in their language, but you'll notice that site pumping themselves full of asian traffic rarely use jap traffic, they use the cheap chinese stuff.
