Hosted gallery suggestions...
 

Here's a few suggestions for the paysites and sponsor programs...

When developing your hosted galleries... Maybe use the full URL to the thumbs and images in your pages.

There are some good reasons for this and some bad reasons to not do it...

GOOD REASON FOR DOING THIS:
- Your gallery submitters can make their own dynamic page like this:

[html]
[head]
[/head]
[body]
[a href=http://recip1.com][img src=button1.gif][/a][br]
[a href=http://recip2.com][img src=button2.gif][/a][br]
[a href=http://recip3.com][img src=button3.gif][/a][br]
[?php include "http://THE URL TO YOUR HOSTED GALLERY"; ?]
[/body]
[/html]

This would allow them to generate more galleries with more recipricol links in a shorter amount of time... which will lead to getting more traffic. If you link an image like so "../images/thumb1.gif", it is only valid for your specific domain, and the above mentioned method will not work.

You're hosting the galleries anyhow, so it's just a matter of an increase in bandwidth... but, it also gives you more control over what these submitters are advertising. You wouldn't need to give out content if you did this.

BAD REASONS FOR DOING THIS:
- Bandwidth increases
- Server loads would increase since each image would be requesting through http:// instead of local.

Any comments on this would be great.

Thanks in advance.
