KimmyKim, you write...

Dude get a grip here. Just because they call it freehosting doesn't mean that it's free.

Since freehosts take the header and footer -- oh wait those are the prime ad locations -- on every page they host, why anyone would think they are getting 100% of the traffic that hits their galleries is so far beyond me as to be incomprehensible.

-----------

My original point was that SOME hosts redirect, SOME don't redirect. So therefore ALL OTHER THINGS BEING EQUAL (header size, footer size, etc.) people MAY want to make an INFORMED decision and choose a host that doesn't skim foreign traffic.

To draw an extended metaphor, it's like trying to win a race using a rental car. Sure, you may not know whether the car you choose will be in top condition since you don't know how much the previous users threw it around the bends... but you sure as anything wouldn't choose the car with a wheel missing!

All I am trying to do is to help people make informed decisions. They can still work with any host they like, but with their eyes open.
