I've seen too many hosted galleries that basically do the opposite and do too little to sell and maybe have one little link through to the site... that's pretty much useless.

I understand why TGPS that sell spots (and even those that take free submissions) have their own rules and limit submitters outgoing gallery links - so if you want your shit listed there, follow their rules, but hosted galleries are or at least should be a whole different animal.

It would be nice if sponsors took control of their content again. I'm not saying you should use blind links or even a bunch of un-linked thumbs, but the content to link through ratio is, IMHO, way to high.

Give them things to click on, along with a reason to, and by golly they just might.
