Having a single page with only images to products, is what I call a ad page full of ads, and are the same style as those I get in the mail. Whats next, a link to a "free coffee at Starbucks this weekend" page?
The spam in my mailbox is also just pages with images, which include links and has clearly spelled out titles.
I am almost surprised that adblock didn't block the site altogether.
