TGP Trades & General Questions

To get it up and going you need some traffic to start with!
If you can send it from one of your own sites, or have some decent 404-traffic, that'll be probably the go!

With purchased traffic I had not such good experience, even on a CJ site with only 25% skim: my traffic (and outgoing clicks!) went up as the traffic was coming in, once it stopped the slump was so sudden that all trades needed 4-5 days to recover...

People bookmark a lot more if you don't skim (as I do on my second site)!
Trades won't start either if you're only relying on skimming - you need some traffic to get started
People won't return if you skim 50%, or even only 40%...
If your ratio is ~75% to galleries, and the galleries are good, people are coming back...

You can still use the trade script TM3 to manage in-and-outgoing links and your toplist.
