Torn maybe my post was a bit harsh, but the reference to CNN.com was meant to be about pop ups. I really believe you should take a look at how 90% of the TGP's out there work. You will find that skimming traffic is a very very common thing.

Everybody can't be the Hun, I truly believe you just do not understand how TGP's work these days. It's ashame you took such drastic measures on someone that was following a common day practice for 90% of the TGP's out there..

You are 100% right you have every right in the world to dictate the terms your content is used. However being your terms are out of the norm of common day sponsors that provide free hosted galleries you should clearly mark this on your site that you do not allows TGP's whom trade traffic to use your FHG's.

IMO this is your fault, I read your site, I saw nothing about a TOS agreement for how to use your hosted galleries. After all how can you expect someone to not use the galleries in a certain way, if you do not tell them they can't. Again it seems you do not understand how most TGP's these days work.

BTW.. I noticed you live in Melbourne, FL. I just moved from their was right off of 192 out by 95.. was born and raised in that town.. Just moved up to Daytona Beach this last month, wish I would have known there was another adult webmaster in town.

Just as a side note I will let you know I personally run a few TGP sites, every single one has sponsor hosted galleries and I trade traffic on them by skimming same as koot was doing. Again This is a very common practice, I personally don't have pop ups or tool bars but a lot of guys do use these methods. It's just a fact of life in adult and even on mainstream websites. You clearly should dictate that you do not want traffic from sites using these methods in a TOS (which I didn't even see a TOS on your site). btw every single sponsor I have ever signed up for I have used one of my traffic skimming TGP's as my example site.. not a single one has ever complained or denied me as a affiliate.

You may want to take this into consideration.. if a site skims 60-70% that means 60-70% of the hits are going to the galleries and 30-40% are going to traffic trades. Sites that do this are constantly growing in size. This means if he sent you a few hundred hits last month , this month could be a thousand or so and it will keep growing.
