It's nice that you're sharing links and I appreciate that sentiment, but...
This is a bit more of a personal ethic than something others will share with me, but I wouldn't have posted those links at all out of respect for the artists. (I encountered too many cases of fanart-icons and art theft for my tastes.)
If I did want to do that for whatever reason, I wouldn't made direct links with those sites (e.g. "ttp:" instead of "http:"), nor would I have advertised them in such a public manner (i.e. behind locks). With the proper software, webmasters(mistresses) can find who linked them and may possibly restrict access to all non-Japanese IPs.
