i agree with my former posters,
if its a email i dont trust them at all, cause it happened way to often they where all screwed.
Nevertheless i dont even trust the econded links from the NATS site, simpy cause it even happens here that NATS gives you codes with literally dont exist, you sometimes see that when the internal message system send you message that you are sending traffic to the wrong links, but where the hell did they thought i had the link in the first place.
as for the other question, its really a personal decission, if galleries take my top spots and dont convert to money then i start disabling some galleries, if it continues like that i have to nuke off the sponsor from the site.
it happend to me with several sponsors like
http://www.bikini-heat.com/ their galleries getting clicked like stupid, they always take the prime spots and zero sales. Same goes for the new Miss Hybrid epoch links on one of my sites almost the first row is filled with miss hybrid stuff but no sales, so even though i really like her, i simply cant afford to go along like that since i gotta pay bills as well.
Nevertheless decissions to pull them off are totally personal from people i chatted more often in the past i have a tendency to not pull them that easy cause over the years there is somewhat like a relationshit with those people
