Do it froma text link, fine, do it from a copyrighted image, uh oh.


traffic trades on thumbs is a nono. Always has been but now with 1000000 people doing it, it's now "ok" becuase everyone else does it. ell it's NOT alright.


that has always been a pet peve of mine when I used to submit galleries. TGPs were sending traffic to questionable places based on my work and a thumb I let them use.


that's just my opinion.
I didn't even know that people did that. If someone clicks on my image, I fully expect them to get to my gallery or my site. To redirect them is screwing the surfer around and turning a qualified hit into an unhappy, unqualified hit. And worse, the surfer may blame my site for the redirection! What the heck?
