Id have to say there are some people making alot of money off skim traffic sites.

I agree that there are a small group of very successful TGP/MGP owners who make good money while using skimmed gallery traffic.
My caution is that if you're not already one of those guys, or don't have a close relationship with some of them, then you'll most likely be disappointed that your results are not what theirs are.
All I'm going to say is that if someone new to the biz tries to become a success by copying what they can see that the big TGP players are doing, they're likely to waste a lot of time. Most of how those guys make money in ways that's not readily apparent by just looking at their sites.
My guess is that of all the people who own/run skimmed traffic sites, less than 20% are making much money at it. And those who are making real money, aren't making it because of the skim.
All that said, it's up to each webmaster to pick their own path. And who knows, the next newcomer who opens a slew of skimmed TGPs may make a fortune.
It could happen.

-- btw, Mr Blue's advice about using trade scripts for the toplist or top referrers sections of a site is a whole different thing than using them for gallery clicks, and many sites which don't skim gallery clicks are still using trade scripts for those things.
-- 2nd btw, I just noticed this was the TGP/TGP2(?) forum. For some reason I thought this was the Newbie forum until now, so much of my advice was being posted with the goal of showing a newcomer that there was more than one path to follow.
