I may have a fundamental misunderstanding about free sites.

My question is purely from the pov of a free site submitter. I have no problems with the rules that have evolved from the experience of LL owners.

Is the purpose of the site to make sales for the paysite promoted on the galleries? If so, why do people recommend that traffic is sent to the warning page rather than the index page when there is a choice?

The alternative is to try to make sales from the warning and index pages and risk losing the surfer before he gets to the primary sponsor selling galleries.
