Thx Darin

(btw Darin - Im still processing the "issue" in my head

- results are expected soon)

Anyway..
Skimming is a very reliable source of traffic for trading in TGPs. Some say its good becaue it gets you traffic to trade and some say its bad because it scares away bookmarkers.
So its all a question of balance - and that as we know is subjected to personal belief.
Skimming too much will tilt your site into becoming a CJ-like site. Skimming very little will give you too little traffic to trade. Since If you dont have alot of SE and bookmarkers traffic you should skim more that the luckey ones. The "acceptable" skimming range out there ranges from 5% to 40% where 5% is very little and 40% is a lot!.
My suggestion.. start with a higher value and lower it over time once your TGP becomes more popular. An ok values for the first few weeks will be about 30-35% where after you start picking it up lower in 5% a month until you feel its low enough.

This is not science, and I'm not a scientist. Its just my view of things - and who knows... maybe I am wrong
