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?
