Black Crayon: I still get sales from archives of tgp galleries I submitted eons ago...
But I agree, the amount of immediate sales you can get from a TGP is declining. However, if you look beyond what a tgp offers beyond immediate sales, there is some really good value there still. AWN clearly understands it as there is a reason they are buying these sites up.
Matyko: my best guess is that in cases like this, there is a NDA signed (non disclosure agreement). And let's face it... if it were announced prior to a completed sale, people would kill their partner accounts, delete links, etc. I would assume AWN relies a little bit on webmasters being lazy and not removing old links to them.. as this gives them a pile of one way backlinks that date back for years usually.
