Is this OK?

[Mr Spock]

BTW - unlinked, it's perfectly fine with me.

Why is it ok unlinked , but not linked?

Depending on the header it may or may not be a blind link.

Personally when I use a header I never link it unless the header reads something like click here to take a tour.

It's a general rule of thumb with free sites to not link any large graphic header.

As to the other topic, hardcore on on the warning page, I've no problem with it. In fact, I don't mind when the warning text is missing. As we've stated here far too many times, the vast abundance of traffic that will hit a free site is going to come from a link list. What would the point be of warning a porn surfer that he is going to see more porn? I think we should change the name from warning to ad page #1.

Good Faith Effort, my friend.

If I knew a good girl named Faith, I would put in the effort.

Well this sort of relates to question 654 from my list

I always thought that the warning page was there in case the site got direct linked from the search engines - or its through one of your hub pages or something...

But question 654 was: Do you put a warning page on your main index and hub pages?

Well, the chances are that the index pages of your free sites will be listed by the SEs. But so will your content pages. What sort of warning do you have on them?

I'm not telling everyone to toss out their warnings. I always use warning text on my index pages. I'm just saying that it would easily slide past me if the warning was missing amongst all those ads and reciprocal links.

Yeah OK, check mate... I suppose if you get anal about your warning pages you'll end up with more warning pages than content pages and your sites will look like the stair cases on Cruise Liners

I was thinking it was some cover your ass legal type thing...like the warning on a TV dinner that says "product may be hot after heating and will burn your ass"...Then if you get burned and try to sue, they can always say "hey stoopid, we warned you..."

But I too see a lot more hardcore on the warning page, usually in a banner ad. I typically do not do it on my submissions for fear of rejections, but if it becomes acceptable count me in...
