I can only guess that you hit a network of TGP sites that are set up to mostly skim traffic to sell to brokers rather than sending mostly to affiliate galleries. It's the modern day equivalent of the old circle jerk network. A good tip off that you've hit such a site is the first thumb clicked will NOT take you to a gallery.

I avoid trading with TGP's that don't send at least the first click to a gallery and then at least 60% of subsequent clicks. My sites are set to send the first two clicks to galleries then 65% to 75% depending on the site. I adjust that percentage based on each sites traffic volume and productivity (avg number of clicks per visitor). The ultimate goal being to send as many clicks to galleries as possible and still maintain my trades, since the galleries are where I make my money.
