CLEO makes a good point here. The good TGP and link sites are getting sunmissions from the sponsors themselves. They can no longer rely on affiliates to get them listed and they can afford to pay.
IMO The traffic market will change this year, up until now the emphasis has been largely on clicks well with people paying that emphasis will change to conversions.
TGP and LL sites buying/exchanging traffic that no paysite would touch. to me it's traffic that is VERY heavy on free surfers and light on surfers looking to buy. I don't see the process of these people going via a TGP site will suddenly turn them into buyers, even though they get more choice.
tiny again another guy to agree with, we will be looking at other ways beside LL, TGPs and Link dumps to raise traffic. Might start talking to a few mags about free sets for a URL tag on the sets. We have a lot of second rights sets sitting on our shelves that would be attractive to a magazine for free and good for us with a URL banner.
But where you are wrong is with the changing market. In business never assume what worked yesterday will work tomorrow. They may have got where they are with free submissions, but could stay there with paid and partner sunmissions.
Thanks for the compliment on the content, just need to get a good tour going showing what we do.
