Heres a short list of a few tgp's that skim to trades
http://www.boneprone.com http://www.madthumbs.com http://www.gigagalleries.com http://www.thumbzilla.com http://www.88by88.com http://www.pichunter.com Id have to say there are some people making alot of money off skim traffic sites. Getting bookmarkers has little to do with IF you skim but more to do with how much you skim, who you skim to and possibly most importantly the quality of your galleries. If you have a very high clicks to trades youre probably not going to get alot of bookmarkers. If you skim to traffic trades with pop-ups, trojans, browser exploits, etc... youre probably not going to get alot of bookmarkers. If youre galleries arent high quality or if you just throw a bunch of fhg's you probably arent going to get alot of bookmarkers. Skimming traffic and trading traffic doesnt guarantee a successful site. Especially if you have no traffic of your own to send to the site to feed your trades to start with. You will likely only get a trickle of visitors from galleries and it takes time to build up trades using only that traffic source.

My caution is that if you're not already one of those guys, or don't have a close relationship with some of them, then you'll most likely be disappointed that your results are not what theirs are. All I'm going to say is that if someone new to the biz tries to become a success by copying what they can see that the big TGP players are doing, they're likely to waste a lot of time. Most of how those guys make money in ways that's not readily apparent by just looking at their sites. My guess is that of all the people who own/run skimmed traffic sites, less than 20% are making much money at it. And those who are making real money, aren't making it because of the skim. All that said, it's up to each webmaster to pick their own path. And who knows, the next newcomer who opens a slew of skimmed TGPs may make a fortune. It could happen. ------------ -- btw, Mr Blue's advice about using trade scripts for the toplist or top referrers sections of a site is a whole different thing than using them for gallery clicks, and many sites which don't skim gallery clicks are still using trade scripts for those things. -- 2nd btw, I just noticed this was the TGP/TGP2(?) forum. For some reason I thought this was the Newbie forum until now, so much of my advice was being posted with the goal of showing a newcomer that there was more than one path to follow.
