Actually big LLs are on a win win position since most submitters group recips by traffic/seo rank (not always but most times both go together) and IMO these mirrors have the highest chance (if any) to get ranked in SE

Yeah, I think its the most possible scenario. There used to be TGPs, LLs, AVSs, TGP2s and lately blogs popped up, I think there is still some place left for another type of sites.

Thats true, there are user friendly (clean, easy to navigate) sites with 3 ads and there are sites with just one or two blind links that would trick the (especially newbie) surfers to visit sponsors.
Thats like selling anything else - there are customers that are willing to pay big cash to get their needs fullfiled but they sure wont spent a penny if they are forced to buy stuff they don't want.
Anyway.. I think 3ads / 12 pics is good ratio and we dont really need more. Definately we shouldnt give out more free content either but I think the content should be the highest quality possible - just the way its in the members area. Not sure how many LLs have this rule but it exists for sure (even if its unofficial one) - pics should be around 100kb. With the all broadband connections we've got today that's just insane - I'd be more than happy to serve 1024x768 or even bigger photos but due to 100kb rule I simply cant
