I´m not sure I have to convince anyone, since the TGP model is already changing - maybe in 1-2 years most TGPs will only have paid spots and hosted galleries, and then TGP owners will start looking at $, when choosing which galleries get listed (many are already, however they have not started the part of optimizing their own product, but this will come when more focus is at $, than on traffic).
The "traffic wanking game" is getting less important - as said in the hun posts, he needed a counter, so he can sell gallery spots, not because of an ego trip (ok, maybe that part will never die off, but it will be less important). What I want to know as a gallery spot buyer is the demographics of the tgp, and the traffic numbers - I´m not really interested if the site is #1, or #1000 on a counter list.
Free submissions to TGPs, Link Lists, SEs etc. should be replaced with something where both parties have an interest in making $.
