I see your point April, but I'm not going all out - I'm following all the CJ2 guidelines, not making a browser-crashing popup-hell.
Also my other sites won't be switching, I'm still running one of the few TGP's with no blindlinks whatsoever - and you're right, the reason I've been so successful is the surfers do "trust" my links.
BUT it's gotta be fun to rack up the numbers. I've never made any money off of a clickthru, it would be nice to see if I can.
And on the other hand, CJ sites make sites with content seem so much better by comparison. If someone clicks around for an hour and doesn't find anything, a decent free site would look like an oasis.
