Yeah skimming = crappy traffic. It's a fact.
It's so unfortunate that this is the way that most TGP's send traffic nowadays. And it really forces new webmasters to do the same if you want to build your site traffic up. Everyone wants instant big number traffic and no one wants to work for it to make sure it's quality traffic anymore.
I have always prided myself at sending quality traffic and now mostly what I get in return is crappy traffic that is super low in productivity. (most under 10%)
Within the last year 100's of these TGP sites popped up out of nowhere and are all of a sudden are on the top list of every large, old school TGP out there. We spent years building up quality sites with quality traffic, only to have these sites take it away within a year.
I feel that these types of sites are to blame for surfers being afraid to click on links and to trust sites. Hurting the business for everyone.
