I never use banners with a "strobe" effect - they probably piss off surfers more than anything else and looking at them gives me a headache |shocking|
Also, because the banners don't say "hardcorepartying.com", it's unclear whether "hardcore partying" is a sales pitch or a site name, so the banner is blind, making any text links around it blind also unless you mention the site by name.
There's a thread here regarding blind links by MadMax

Simple solution would be mentioning the site name in your text/links in a way that makes it clear "Partying Hardcore" is a paysite.
