Series Pics versus Mixed Pics

I'm in agreement. There are times mixed works best, IMHO.

If I want to send traffic to a big amateur site with a variety of hundreds or thousands of different amateur models -- as opposed to a single-model amateur site -- I would think a gallery or a site with a variety of amateurs (to match the site I'm sending) would make a thousand times more sense than a gallery of a single model (and what if they don't like that model?)

As a matter fact 1) I think if they see only one model the surfer is expecting to see a single-model site when they click the banner. But they click, see a multimodel site, often with a tour that doesn't contain the model you were just showing them. 2) Had the surfer seen a bunch of different models and clicked through, and been taken to that multi-model site, they would have been prepared for that based on the gallery, and again, better chance of a sale.

But nearly every major TGP and many a big links list will reject that. I really hate stupid rules and that one is at the top of my list. It's pounded into everyone's heads from Newbie Day One to "match the content to the site you're sending to", but if you actually do that for a mega site sponsor then: no listing, no traffic, and a note back saying "we only list series". Rules that cost sales piss me off and always will.
