Yes, we use those which other sponsors provide/offer, as well offer FHG.

Our FHG: More or less, our top marketing tool (if second, it is only to our exit consoles), because they generate the most joins. I pick the content and populate most (if not all) our FHG. When collecting images, I typically exclude newer content as well what I consider the 'best parts'/shots/images – for galleries containing 15 to 16-images, I try to provide only one cumshot (unless it is a gallery for our cumshot site), and only a couple of 'hardcore' images. However, if the content/series/shoot is older, I will use what I believe will work best.
Content used for a recent or current update will not be given out that month.
New member/s (who joined through a FHG) tend to head straight for the content or model shown in the FHG, which they joined through, and if not able to locate they contact me immediately.

Other sponsor’s FHG: Those that provide FHG with good quality (resolution and file size), well organized/in proper order are more than worth it - years later (from well organized companies) we still receive sales.
We have many free sites, populated with a lot of FHG links, and I can safely say the poor performers, 9 times out of ten, are as such because the ‘web master’ responsible did not do his/her job properly or are too cheap (low-quality thumbs or full-size images, series not properly ordered, not a real series, ugly template or gallery design and my favourite ... pathetic/insulting text). We have been going through all our free sites, deleting a ton of dog diddling links -- I am truly disgusted at how many of the links 404 or redirect, without notice from the cheating bastards (you can try and provide me with an excuse for them, however they will fall on deaf ears as any reasonable person knows there is no excuse)!


I do believe web masters are becoming lazier and expect a lot from sponsors, whom offer FHG. I am constantly asked why we do not provide descriptions or why we do not have free software for submitting, to which I reply, “we decided to give you sample thumbnails, instead”.
