Been working on those new "second hand" domains I bought. And I am learning a lot:
1. Since these domains died ages ago (I bought them as "new" domains, via a registrar, not as "working domains" from a domain dealer) and all three have several traffic trade scripts sending them plenty of hits - there must be some really shit traffic scripts out there (mine would have emailed me to kill a trade if it had not seen traffic for 3 consecutive days, and I kinda thought that the commercial scripts were supposed to kill dead trades automatically).
2. I think, when I hit a TGP, I'm going to try all the links on it, looking for more dead sites. The cheapest I have ever seen skimmed traffic sell for is 2c a hit. Since I am getting over 100 uniques a day from each domain, they will have paid for the domain registration within 5 days, after that all traffic is free!
3. Rather than just run a meta refresh to my old TGPs I am putting fake galleries and fake TGPs on the domains and seeing how people click. I am learning a lot that I probably should have known years ago!
