Counter starting to use blind banners

I notice a lot of the counters (if not all) are using blind buttons which show up on pretty much every page out there.

The old hitbox (now EroticaEmpire) goes to a page with 3 blind banners and a tiny "enter" on the bottom of the page. Entering the page brings up a lot more blind banners.

I have no problem with how SexTrackter looks on my main page. The top 3 get a special counter look. Although it swaps with what normally looks as a blind thumb. I marked off the counters so people don't get confused. But on many galleries I see their banner appear as 3 thumbs. And today I saw a couple that tried to give the impression it was a button to free pictures. Clicking the counter again brings me to a page with more blind banners/links than EroticaEmpire and a "enter sextracker" on the far bottom. They do have a very clear page with the ranks after that

Hypercount's button looks pretty clean (Free top list, which is basically what they are), but they also have their first page plastered with blind banners. With some very confusing "Enters" in between the banners. To get inside the page you have to click the "Enter" that's all the way on the bottom. Behind that "Enter" are the rankings, so they are real easy to find.

I realise that "If you don't like it, don't use it". But I declined some galleries especially with the SexTracker counter on top. They have some pretty blind looking ones. I wrote 'em about it and the message of their reply basically was that "other's are doing the same". But at least from them I got a reply ;-)... EroticaEmpire has been cilent. They used to have consoles behind the counter which are gone now. But it's a pity too see galleries get declined for "blind advertising" when all it is is a counter.

Counters have to make money too, I understand that. But it's a pity to see they start using pretty agressive methods of getting that realised...
