As far as the rest goes.. you'll notice that none of our sites really have the "corporate plastic porn" look to them... they're pretty much very simple designs that focus on showing you the content, not how cool we can make our site look. my partner tends to disagree, he believes that the flashier the site, the better it sells.. so we met in the middle ><

Oh I'm not talking about paysites. Although the post nearly applies the same there, I don't disagree with a 'webmaster link' in the footer of a paysite tour, that's the known location for experienced webmasters and probably where most of their affiliates find them from, it is nice to make the link a webmaster referral one though and not some traffic leak. And a paysite with a big header isn't too unnecessary as long as it's enticing and there are the usual members/bookmark/join/etc buttons in place. Whatever gets them to the join page fastest.
It's the affiliates and their personal sites that I'm mainly talking about. Having a big header image that is a link right back to your homepage is so pointless. Send them to a damn tour or something, are you in it to make money or brag about your traffic? Ugh.
