If you read what he says, he doesn't count sponsor links, he's often said a gallery with 50 thumbs and one banner can look worse than a gallery with 10 thumbs and 5 banners. Its all how you lay out the page.
Just because only 2 things on your gallery were linked to the sponsor, the page could still be screaming "advertising"

I lnow he doesn't count links was simply making the point it wasn't full of them. To say the same rules apply to getting a paid listing accepted that apply to getting a free listing is pure bullshit.
The point remains that MUCH more advertising is allowed in paid listings which totally makes a nonsense about keeping bookmarkers happy by keeping stuff clean. Just about all of the paid listings can easily be seen to have far more advertising - again not something unique to the hun by any means. It's not so much that there is a big difference rather it's all the bullshit about keeping the srufers happy. The paid listings very much prove that a little bit of effective advertising isn't going to piss them all off as is so often screamed on baords or in rules sections.
