the surfer clicks the link to your sponsor, but instead goes to a page you setup inbetween the gallery and the sponsor.
your page may have an HPA to the sponsor, maybe some directions of how to signup, or some links at bottom like "no thanks" or whatever
i know some people use this method in order to avoid sending hits directly to a sponsor that has popups all over it.
Is it recomended? or does it seriously affect sales?
