Free site question: is this normal?

That's the first thing I noticed too. The girl in the galleries isn't hairy. I'd bet he's getting many more click-thrus to furrygirl.com from those four thumbs than he getting to ATK from that other poorly used content.

I hadn't given this type of situation any thought until now, but I agree that it would have been far more appropriate to use a banner. Of course, it's hard to find a banner (for any paysite) that will provide good examples of the site's content.

My overall opinion is that, even in that small piece of real estate, he's doing a better job promoting FurryGirl than ATK, while doing a disservice to both. I'm not a fan of promoting multiple sponsors on one free site. It's that whole "Click here for hottest babe! Oh, she's not what you want? Then click here for the OTHER hottest babe!" Just doesn't work for me.

If its your own content then its ok to have any ads on a page

I read in most aponsors TOS - that if our content is on a page then NO other ads may appear... those are nonlinked thumbs but its still your content... I know that submitter... he's ok.. he atleast put your link under your thumbs... I would email him and tell him... also check your tos and adjust it for your content rules, if you dont already have it..
