ok, here is what I do and don't see on these freesites:
1. Nothing there to get the surfer excited or interested in the sponsor site.
Make them believe they NEED to see whats inside the paysite. Use bold text, colored text, descriptive phrases.
2. Use graphic, descriptive text above and below your banners. Many anti-virus and popup blocker programs have settings that block your banners from even showing.
3. Don't link whole paragraphs of text. It just gives the impression your trying to trick the surfer into clicking the link.
4. Better quality thumbnails/pics. I'm a pantyhose fan, but those thumbnails did not even interest me enough to click for the full size pic, let alone visit your sponsor. I'm not saying they need to be hi-res, just a bit better than they are.

These are just my thoughts, and I'm not claiming to be an expert by any stretch.
