You know, this thread and the angry thread that spawned this thread have given me a new view of traffic trading. I had never really considered it from a submitter's view or that of a FHG producer's either.
Here are my thoughts.
A light skim can be beneficial to a TGP and its trading partners. Heavy skims are good for no one. The fools who use heavy skims are tricked in to believing that they have 100k in daily traffic. Well, shut that script down for a couple of days. How much do you have now that everyone else's scripts halted sending you hits because your trade had stopped? Not a whole lot of bookmarks there, huh? Who wants to bookmark a heavy skim site? What you had was 100k in daily empty hits. Sure, non-skim to low-skim TGPs take a long time to build traffic, but they bring in bookmarks and are better earners. Not too mention the fact that they don't piss anyone off.
