How I think I screwed myself - newbie experience

SirMoby & Wazza thank you very much for the encouragement.

Wazza, the join link has been changed to something thats more obvious (and its now red he he)..

also, I am trying to read up a bit on this whole free site thingie and get a couple done with maybe 30 or so images and submit them to the link lists...

One question though, and this came about in my head while I was thinking about free site traffic (and I know thinking is dangerous for me)... I would think that the conversion rate for hits from link lists would be lower than from SE's? Would that be a fair statement?

I mean, if I am surfing for porn, I would be going form site to site and be exposed to a lot of banners etc and the tendency to click on a banner and actually buy something (in my mind anyway) would be lower, when compared to a guy (say in my case) who stumbles on to a site from Google or Yahoo and sees banners, may be more inclined to click them?

After reading the previous posts and others, I am thinking maybe thats why my conversion is so unreasonably high? Is because of the fact that almost all my traffic to date has been Yahoo and some people from usenet?
