Especially when in 5 days of front page listings, there's been almost no join clicks and little website traffic coming in -- the same galleries on other TGPs have gotten massive traffic (traffic from some of the TGPS where I have free partner accounts outdoes this one "paid" submit site), so I don't think it's my gallery design.
I know traffic-skimming is common practice, but I had an idea that paying for the privilege of submitting to a TGP gave you a bit higher consideration in that TGP's eyes. Or am I being hopelessly naive here?

As you mentioned, skimming traffic from gallery listings to other trades or sites is common practise so you would most certainly see plenty of it from your own gallery links/thumbs.
The other option for you is to submit galleries to a totally clean TGP/MGP (so no skim). Unfortunately many have died (skimmed and no-skim sites) what with the tube concept however some quality sites still exist (you mentioned a couple yourself).
