Sodo,
I am not very active in freesite game now. But when I was a regular freesite submitter I used to get most of my sign-ups from the index/warning page. During those days LinkLists ruled the search engine results for almost all major keywords and were getting tons of traffic from Google. Many of those surfers who come from Google have no idea about the structure of a freesite. They click a link on the LinkList and expect to see porn. When they hit a Sponsor Link on your warning page and reach at the paysite they are more likely to get sold. On the other hand bookmark surfers know where to find the free porn and they will ignore all your sponsor links and hit the Enter link and go to gallery pages. Now let me give you couple of tips as a past freesite submitter.
You need different sales approach on index page and on gallery pages. On index/warning page, you need place a custom banner (you can also choose a pre-made sponsor banner if they are good) or place some teaser pictures (some one already mentioned it) along with good sales text. The idea is to grab the fresh search engine traffic and lead them to sponsor site.
If they hit your Enter link, they probably know where to find freeporn. So on gallery pages you tease and warm them up with your pictures/videos and sell them. Build the gallery like how you will build them for a TGP/MGP. You know how hard it is to convert to those freeloaders from TGP. Link List traffic will convert better.
If you are using two different series of pics/videos on the 2 galleries, then place best one on the first gallery. If the surfer hit your second gallery page then most likely he is not going to pay for porn. So on the second gallery page you must have a prominent link which will take the surfer to your hub where you can show him more of your freesites. So you got another chance of selling him.
Always use one main sponsor on your freesite. Place the secondary sponsor ad on your main page so that if the surfer hit a back link after viewing the second gallery and look around for more galleries on your "main page" you can show him a different paysite on the same niche which he might be interested.
