Very interesting Simon.
Ponygirl, I've built some free-sites with my blog link in a couple of key areas as an experiment to see how well the traffic parsed. I think if you tell them it is a blog up front -- like I did -- you won't get many click throughs. Using Simon's example, my theory is that the tier 2 surfers really just want more tier 2 porn.
But I guess if you could find an acceptable way to blind link the destination, like just putting in the blog's domain name as the link and not describing the type of site it is, you may be able to convert those tier 2 surfers to teir 3 -- again using Simon's example.
I could be way off on this, it's just the traffic patterns I noticed in my own very limited testing.
