The whole point of a TGP is to maximize the number of clicks to the galleries, since those galleries are the gateway to the sponsor tours.

I'm not sure that something other than a grid is going to be any more effective, and it's going to be substantially more difficult to code the script templates that rebuild the pages for each update. If you change it up too much, it's no longer a TGP, and then it becomes difficult to get other TGP's to trade links.

The most effective "marketing" on a TGP are the thumbs themselves. Manually selecting and cropping thumbs makes a HUGE difference over allowing the script to randomly choose and make them.

There are other things on my TGP's that would also fall under marketing, but like Hell Puppy, I'm not going to give away my best secrets in a public forum. They're right there in plain view on the page, if you know what you're looking for.
