Consider that most of these sites are "fed" initially, but then become stable. Then consider in order to remain at stable traffic levels, traffic productivity (clicks) must be inversely proportional to the skim rate. Suppose you had no feeder traffic, and no SE traffic or type-ins. If you wanted to subsist entirely on trades, you could have the following: trade productivity at 200%, skim 50%. That means on average you get two clicks per surfer and one goes to a gallery and one to a trade. You should remain stable and grow slightly because most scripts will return higher that 100% if you traffics internal productivity is 200% then it should do well on trades.
The thing about this is most "BIG" tgps skim less than 50% and their productivity is not much above 200%. How can they get up to 300-400K uniques per day? BOOKMARKERS, yes people do like these sites and they do bookmark, There you get "free" clicks to send to trades, without having to have very high skim.
There are thumb TGP's that become HUGE within very short amounts of time, when they are intelligently directed by intelligent webmasters. All that is required is top rate design, sponsors, scripts, and trades.
The key to this is the whole purpose of skimming. PROMOTION. I would have never known about some of my favorite TGP"s if I wasn't jerked there. I wouldn't have clicked "click here", but I was sent there against my will and I liked it and I came back. PROMOTION through skimming is how these big sites grow very quick. Sites like bunnyteens.com and teeniesxxx.com are doing well because they did all of these things.
I am in the process of obtaining all the best tools, and I will through trial and error, become capable of managing this towards growth.
