I look at my traffic. Try and understand what they want. Then give it to them. Some want expensive playboy-style models; some want crappy, grainy pics of grannies exposing their calloused feet. As GG said, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

Right...feel free to stone me.
From the site-builder's perspective, you're correct. But I'm writing from the link-list owner's perspective. And if my "mature" section is full of sites with horrible content maybe I'm going to turn of some prospective bookmarkers.

Maybe other LL's are getting a better balance of sites submitted, but I'm getting disproportionate numbers of sites in the "mature" category that have the type of content I'm describing.
