Looking at the bigger thumb tgps they set their out % to 80 or some where around there. Again, same holds true for the big thumb sites as does for the text, the older the better (generally). Personally I think a thumb based main page is your best option and if you have archives and your site is relatively general, having those archives set up by niche instead of date and include a text description along side the thumb with as much info as possible is your best solution (SE's still like text more than images). K, that's it from this side of the fence. Good topic

This is a good post Spud, imho text is better for SE, but what if you make your alt tags your desc, i think that evens that out. However, when im surfing checking out the competiton text links don't motivate me to click. Now if i see a hottie on a thumb I usually click and check her out. So for that reason I think it motivates the surfer more.
