"Back" link for surfers?

As I was putting together a free site earlier tonight, I got to wondering about the "back" text link that I always put at the bottom of gallery pages. While I understand the value of having a surfer click that rather than the back button on his/her browser--causing them to see the ad(s) that they'll have to scroll through to get back to where on the page they came from--I also questioned whether this might be giving them an unwarranted option (ie. go back for more free porn rather than click the banner or text ad just above the "back" link to experience the erotic nirvana being offered by my sponsor). Any opinions on whether this rather small detail might make a difference in where a surfer goes next?

thrillho Kids are great, Appu. You can teach them to hate the things you hate and they practically raise themselves now-a-days, you know, with the internet and all Join Date: Aug 2003 Location: Austin, TX Posts: 194	"Back" link for surfers?
