Should I be picky about hardlink trades

[neveremail]

Sorry once you started talking about traffic script things I did too. Getting myself confused.

I know the difference between hardlinks and scripted links.

I wouldn't be doing hardlink trades for traffic but for PR and SERPs.

I dont really understand why TGPs would send you CJ traffic if you have done a hardlink trade with them, unless they are trying to pretend they still have your hardlink by sending you traffic through CJ?? Could someone please explain thier motive for this?? I'm getting a little confused.

Also:
I wouldn't be doing skimming I keep my hardlink trades and traffic trades seperate (with some sites occasionally having both).

Typically they wouldn't. If you hard link to them, then they should be doing the same in return. With hard links, you don't need a script to inform you about productivity since the traffic produced by them is inherently productive. If one really needs to know the quantity being received, they can just check their server stats.

I don't think anyone would bother sending traffic to you via a trade script if you aren't linking to them in the same manner since your site isn't going to 'react' to the influx of traffic and automatically send them more in return. We just got off on a tangent and when the trade script was mentioned.

Sorry, but my experience tells me otherwise: I had a number of TGPs asking me for link exchange and then sending ton's of unproductive CJ traffic.
...probably because they don't know any other way to trade.

I have noticed that with some smaller TGPs and some other sites that just dont seem to bother with hard links. But I think as long as your clear with them that you want a hardlink and not to be in a trade script ytou should be okay.
