Selena, I have to agree that you get high marks on understanding the nature of boards and proceeding differently on each and not posting identical posts (as many marketers I've seen on here and elsewhere do, and think they're actually doing their job.)
That said, and just to be a minor ball-breaker, if your banners where directed at whales, and the refer code went to a whale-specific page for Oprano, that would be better still. Not singling you out, as again, no sponsor does this.
But yes, an IPod giveaway banner on GFY, pushing a free-hosted TGP on GG&Jims, whale banner on Oprano ... such things are just the start of where sponsors should have long ago gone. But mostly, maybe totally -- with the exception of some of their marketing personnels posts -- everyone gets the same spiel, the same banner, and every adult webmaster place, each with it's own distinct flavor, has up to now been treated identically. Cookie-cutter, no-brains "marketing". Phewy!

Thank you for the compliment
And please, feel free to break my balls anytime. On this issue, or any other. I like to learn, and I especially like to learn about things that might make me more money. I'm greedy like that.
Please bear with me as I try to riddle out what you mean by "whale specific page for Oprano". My definition of a whale is someone that I'd like to have sign up under me. An uber affiliate.
Is that what you mean when you say whale?
