You REALLY see how the same basic template structure is being re-used by looking at multiple free sites promoting the same paysite.

One of the greatest annoyances on those
HOSTED
FREE
SITES (not
free hosted sites) is the keyword stuffing of the thumbs' alt tags. It's pointless and, as I said, annoying.
One of the reasons I very rarely use HFSs is due to the fact that they quickly begin to look the same. If I can't add more than a couple of a sponsor's HFSs without seeing the same template, I simply don't bother. Some people seem to think that changing one graphic or the background color is enough to call it a new template. It's not. Think about the overall layout of the site.
