Hmm, so are you guys serving the thumbs? The fundamental problem with sending traffic from a thumb preview to a gallery broker is that the list of paid galleries will always be changing. That's why I asked about the matching.
Since they do match, I would say the value would be higher than a text link. How many surfers click on an interesting description, then close the gallery because they don't like the look of the girl?

Same way the banner program works - magic. ;>
But ya I understand the issue. It hasn't been done yet, primarily because if it gets big it'll be a huge amount of bandwidth. However, to offset that we're not going to allow the use of ALL our thumbs - so you'll never see a page with 100 spotbrokers thumbs.. That'd be dumb on our side. There will be a (small) limit to the amount of our thumb spots you can place on a page.
To Spunky1: Well productivity is a different issue than conversion. Productivity is about traffic, which I don't give a rats ass about. If the traffic converts, that's all I care about.
