I've signed up for lots of sponsors, gotten inside of their webmaster area and found they had no content available at all (not even 5 pics). The tours were fantastic and right on-target with their niche and I would have needed some of their specific content to do it right. With no pics at all, it was either email them and wait for a response, or move on... always I just moved on. When I have the opportunity to build (ie no kids around) and a specific idea burning in my head, waiting means the project gets put onto the eternal backburner, never to return.

What's really frightening is getting into these webmaster areas and finding notes like "we're reworking all of our content to comply with 2257 and will have some up for you when that's done". Makes me think the stuff inside the member's area isn't legal, and sometimes the date on the note is over a year old so it tells me they're really not interested in getting things fixed.

But, I would advocate at least having a *few* pics to promote with; there are different promotional styles. Like when I build an SE page, I usually put a nice 200x300 sample pic and wrap lots of good text around it. My need for a few pics doesn't automatically mean I'm going to go spam the TGPs or P2P networks, . (Although I do make TGP galleries from time to time if there's enough content or I can buy my own that'll fit the site. With sites getting more and more exclusive though, buying content gets harder.)
