Virgin to link/traffic trading

[Useless]

I second MML's suggestion. I used the free version of Auto Gallery to start one of my TGPs a couple of years ago. Hell, it's still there somewhere in the background. You don't get all of the features of the paid version, obviously, but you'd be surprised how good it is for a free script.

As far as traffic trading scripts, I just yanked them from my TGPs. Someone who's big in the trading game can easily sell you on the benefits of juggling tens of thousands of hits a day between other TGPs, but when you sit back and look at the lack of bookmarkers and sales, you'll come to the conclusion that building traffic the old fashioned way is best. You have to be patient, and you do need to feed it by putting your link on galleries and free sites, but in the end you'll have a site that produces.
