Hey Tranza...nice looking site

A couple comments though...

Sure, that probably did bump up your CTR a bit. However, I really doubt that it in fact increased sales at all. Linking that much text almost becomes a blind link. Also, I think you'll find at least some free site reviewers have recently mentioned that they're getting tired of seeing entire blocks of text linked...which is probably what generated Surn's comment.

Speaking of blind links...

Your link on the main page saying 'forget about the samples, show me the real deal' is kinda blind too. I'd probably let it go if the rest of the site was good. But, why risk it? Making your links clear can only increase sales

Also, you might want to mix up your text on the galleries a bit. I've always thought it was kind of a waste to repeat exactly the same text on both galleries. Hit em with something else...find another button to push...close the sale!

Lastly, your site title is too close to the sponsor site title. That's an instant decline at my list...I would have never seen the rest of the site.

Overall, it's a nice looking site. A few tweaks...and I'd list it!
