From a surfer POV I tried looking at quite a few TGPs before starting my own. In the end, I didn't bother (lazy ass) but I did notice far too many misleading links.

I see a page full of photos, I see a couple that look interesting, I click on the photo expecting (and hoping) to see a gallery of THAT girl/couple/whatever. Instead I get another page of photos just like the page I came from. I go back, click another one, same result. In about 20 seconds I'm frustrated and leave the site(s) for good.

It's not so much that they all looked the same (personally, I didn't care - it was the content I was lured by) but that the links didn't take me where I expected.

In my experience of both mainstream & adult is that you win a lot of brownie points with surfers if you just honestly and quickly give them what they ask:

Photo of hot teen model with caption "click here to see my photos".
When I click I expect to see her photos.
Instead I am taken to her home page and a, yawn, tour.

Text link that says "chat with me live" under a hot brunetter.
When I click I expect to be chatting with her live.
Instead I'm often taken to a signup page - and no guarantee that when I sign up she's even still working at the site, never mind actually online right now.

Simple concept but so many sites mislead, confuse, lie and misrepresent.
Shame.
