You'll essentially be skimming 100%. Surfers would expect to see some kind of content off a TGP - your numbers will show unbelievable raws and small uniques since they will keep hitting the back button trying to get the content in the thumbnail. The way I set it up, is I send to galleries with a low skim, with some bigger thumbs with no skim at all - those are freebies for the surfer. Then if they like it, they can click thru to sponsor.
If you send direct to sponsor all the time, you'll find that no one will bookmark your site as it has nothing to offer.
Here's a BONUS idea: Create and host CUSTOM galleries (not stuff in the FHGs) and link to the sponsor join page to improve your CTR/Join ratios - that can work as well.
